Was it you that night?
Chapter 223 - 221: Qinghe Goes Mad

Chapter 223: Chapter 221: Qinghe Goes Mad

Shen Qinghe again pinched her own arm with force, feeling the pain, which meant that everything here was not her dream?

She looked at Dongfang Wuya with disbelief and shook the golden cage forcefully as she demanded, "Where exactly is this place?!"

Dongfang Wuya had not expected Shen Qinghe to suddenly go mad. He found it ridiculous, "This is Bixiao Tower. You’ve been here three times and you still need me to tell you this is my territory? I haven’t even interrogated you about where you come from, or why you can come and go freely..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the woman rolling around inside the cage.

It was the first time he had ever witnessed such a frenzied scene from a shrewish woman; it was indeed novel.

"It’s over, there’s something wrong with this place..." Shen Qinghe carefully recalled the process of entering and exiting the dream several times, a chill running down her scalp.

Dongfang Wuya watched Shen Qinghe scratching her head, now feeling that the woman in front of him didn’t quite resemble Shen Qinghe. When Shen Qinghe was in his presence, she was always compliant and timid as a quail, unlike this woman who was... well, mad?

Shen Qinghe suddenly looked at Dongfang Wuya earnestly, "Mr. Wuya, please let me out of the cage. I’m telling you, I really am Shen Qinghe..."

This time, before Shen Qinghe could finish speaking, Dongfang Wuya suddenly silenced her.

Shen Qinghe looked at Dongfang Wuya with a grievous expression. Dongfang Wuya averted his gaze; why did he suddenly feel guilty when this woman looked at him with those eyes?

And so, Shen Qinghe kept looking at Dongfang Wuya with that expression. At first, Dongfang Wuya tried to ignore her by turning his back to Shen Qinghe, but eventually he couldn’t bear it any longer and simply took the Xuantian Mirror and left Bixiao Tower.

He vacated the spot for that strange woman, that should be sufficient, right?

Xiao Bai saw Dongfang Wuya coming out and asked curiously, "Master, leaving Fairy Qinghe alone in Bixiao Tower won’t cause any problems?"

Dongfang Wuya just stared at Xiao Bai, leaving him bewildered, "Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You call her Fairy Qinghe?" Dongfang Wuya felt it was strange.

It seemed the woman in the tower might have used some evil arts to so quickly win over Xiao Bai’s heart.

Xiao Bai found himself at a loss for words for a moment, as he had naturally referred to the woman inside as Fairy Qinghe. He also didn’t know what came over him; maybe it was because they looked so alike.

"Because she looks just like Fairy Qinghe. In the future, when Fairy Qinghe’s cultivation base grows higher, she will surely become even more beautiful, just like that female cultivator inside. And, she has a piece of White Rope magical treasure on her wrist, which looks similar to the one Master threw into the Treasure Vault..." Xiao Bai felt more uncertain the more he spoke, "Is there a possibility that she is also Fairy Qinghe?"

A cold smile appeared on Dongfang Wuya’s face, "Do you think that’s likely?"

Xiao Bai thought about his first impression upon seeing Shen Qinghe, "But when I saw her, I immediately felt a sense of closeness, the same kind you get when seeing Fairy Qinghe."

Dongfang Wuya remained silent for a moment, feeling that he also had this so-called sense of closeness.

If it had been someone else who had barged into Bixiao Tower, he could have easily turned that person into dust, but with that woman wearing Shen Qinghe’s face, every time she looked at him with those mournful eyes, it made him feel as if he had wronged her.

This strange feeling was quite uncomfortable for him.

Inside Bixiao Tower, Shen Qinghe felt something was amiss no matter how she thought about it, yet she was trapped in the cage and couldn’t go find Dongfang Wuya.

Then she remembered something and rolled towards the door of Shen Zhuo’s sleeping chamber, quickly reaching it by rolling along the cage.

Seeing Shen Zhuo asleep on the bed, her heart rate accelerated. Then, rolling up to the front of the bed, she reached out to touch Shen Zhuo’s face.

It was warm, with a temperature. Was this truly her father?

So Dongfang Wuya, Xiao Bai, and Shen Zhuo left the building empty because they came to this space?

Is that the case?

Otherwise, how could they disappear without a trace overnight, leaving even my unconscious father gone, and as soon as she fell into a dream, she saw the real Dongfang Wuya and Shen Zhuo here?

If she was trapped here, then the real Bixiao Tower couldn’t possibly have her, right? Could she have disappeared from the Sky Pole Sect like Dongfang Wuya?

Meanwhile, at the Sky Pole Sect.

After practicing her sword, Shen Zhiyao went to look for Shen Qinghe, but she could not find any trace of her throughout the entire building.

Confused, she left Bixiao Tower to look for Shen Qinghe elsewhere, still without any sign of her.

The more she searched, the more frightened she became. Without any idea what to do, she thought of Meng Yun in the Sky Pole Sect and went to him, telling him that Shen Qinghe had also disappeared without a trace.

Meng Yun listened with a serious expression: "Are you sure you’ve looked everywhere?"

"I’ve looked everywhere. Qinghe is always so worried about me and would always tell me where she’s going. If she was going to be away for a longer time, she would leave the White Rope to protect me. But this time she disappeared without saying a word, which is absolutely not normal!" said Shen Zhiyao, suddenly thinking of the woman Nan Sheng, "Could Nan Sheng have harmed her?"

"Although Nan Sheng’s cultivation base has improved greatly, she is no match for Qinghe. Even if she and her attendants joined forces, they couldn’t defeat Qinghe. But to be on the safe side, I’ll go and test her, just wait here," Meng Yun said and walked away.

Shen Zhiyao stood bewildered, clearly remembering that Qinghe had been in Bixiao Tower while she was meditating and had not said anything special to her.

She stood there dazed for a while before remembering to go and check Spring Breeze Tower.

Perhaps Qinghe was looking for Xiao Chen, or maybe Xiao Chen, wanting Qinghe for himself, had hidden her away.

Xiao Chen did not expect Shen Zhiyao to come looking for him, saying she wanted to take a look around Spring Breeze Pavilion. Although he found Shen Zhiyao’s behavior strange, he did not stop her.

After Shen Zhiyao looked around and did not find Qinghe, she was unsure whether to feel disappointed or relieved.

Just as she was about to leave, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped her and asked, "What happened?"

Thinking that more help was better, Shen Zhiyao decided to tell him about Qinghe’s disappearance.

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly: "Qinghe is missing, are you sure?"

"I’ve searched the entire Sky Pole Sect and there’s no trace of Qinghe. Is this something I would joke about?" Shen Zhiyao said, feeling down, "I’ll go search again."

"I’ll come too," Xiao Chen said gravely.

With Dongfang Wuya having just disappeared, he did not want to bother Qinghe at this time. He had planned to wait a few days for Dongfang Wuya to become history, then gradually make his move to break through Qinghe’s defenses.

He had never expected Qinghe to suddenly vanish.

Xiao Chen and Shen Zhiyao searched the entire Sky Pole Sect but still found no trace of Shen Qinghe.

When Meng Yun went to see Nan Sheng, she was pondering how to get Xiao Chen. Her cultivation base was now higher than Xiao Chen’s. As long as Xiao Chen did not reveal his true form, she thought she might be able to force him.

She was sure Xiao Chen would not dare to reveal his true form lightly because once he did, the Immortal Realm might discover his whereabouts. Given that, it shouldn’t be difficult for her to obtain Xiao Chen’s virgin body.

It was at this time that Meng Yun came looking for her, and, moreover, started blabbering a bunch of nonsense to her.
