Was it you that night?
Chapter 236 - 234: The Man Who Clings to Shen Qinghe’s Bed

Chapter 236: Chapter 234: The Man Who Clings to Shen Qinghe’s Bed

Dongfang Wuya originally wanted to have an incidental physical contact with Shen Qinghe, and if possible, engage in dual cultivation. Seeing that Shen Qinghe wasn’t taking the bait, his face changed instantly, "I wanted to tell you that there’s no need for you to guard against me, I have absolutely no interest in you!"

Shen Qinghe, as if pardoned from a crime, said, "Then you go to sleep first, I’ll also rest..."

"Come back! I need someone to keep watch at night while I rest, so you stay here and serve me." No sooner had Dongfang Wuya finished speaking than Shen Qinghe found herself uncontrollably plunging toward the bed.

Dongfang Wuya opened his arms and caught Shen Qinghe squarely, murmuring indistinctly, "If you wish to serve me in this way, I might, with great difficulty, accept it."

Shen Qinghe’s face turned red, and she slapped Dongfang Wuya on the face before fleeing through the door.

Dongfang Wuya, still holding his arms open, watched as the beauty who had come to his arms had now run away, truly at a loss for words...

Shen Qinghe didn’t return to Shen Zhiyao’s bedroom, but rather chose to sit and cultivate in the courtyard.

Even so, she still found herself thinking of Dongfang Wuya’s peach blossom eyes filled with emotion.

After who knows how long, she finally calmed her heart and began to focus on cultivation.

No one could affect the speed of her cultivation, not even that enchanting Mr. Wuya!

Lying in Shen Qinghe’s bed, Dongfang Wuya felt extremely satisfied, perhaps because it bore Shen Qinghe’s scent, holding the pillow that she had slept on made him feel refreshed and clear-headed.

It’s laughable that this silly woman, Shen Qinghe, thinks she can avoid him just by running away. How foolish is that?

Observing her not sleeping in the middle of the night and instead cultivating in the courtyard, it probably means that he had disturbed her mind.

While embracing the pillow Shen Qinghe had used and taking in its scent, he used his Divine Sense to watch the woman cultivating in the courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, the whole night had passed.

As soon as the sky brightened, Shen Qinghe went inside first thing to send him packing.

Who knows Dongfang Wuya was looking at her with open eyes, as if asking why she didn’t come of her own accord.

Shen Qinghe steadied herself, puffed out her chest, and announced loudly, "It’s dawn!"

So he could get lost then, right?

Dongfang Wuya, holding the pillow lazily, glanced at her once, then turned his back to her and continued sleeping.

Shen Qinghe didn’t expect such a reaction from him, and her frown deepened.

Did this shameless man really intend to cling to her bed and not leave?

Feeling irritated, she walked to the courtyard only to see Shen Zhiyao making funny faces at her, "I knew from the start, once you got involved with Mr. Wuya, it would be hard to shake him off."

Facts proved her ability to read people accurately.

"Perhaps Mr. Wuya will leave later?" Shen Qinghe said, without much confidence.

While the sisters were whispering to each other, Shu Xiu arrived, peeking around now and then. In fact, she was here at Simple Residence Courtyard on a mission.

The whole Sky Pole Sect knew that Dongfang Wuya had spent the night at Simple Residence Courtyard, but no one knew about the current state of feelings between Dongfang Wuya and Qinghe. Hence, they had sent her to probe the situation.

"Just ask whatever you want," Shen Zhiyao said, finding Shu Xiu’s sneaky demeanor amusing.

"What’s the situation now? Did Mr. Wuya spend the night at Simple Residence Courtyard yesterday?" Shu Xiu asked curiously.

Worried that Shen Zhiyao would speak carelessly, Shen Qinghe interjected ahead, "Well, Mr. Wuya has sleep disorders. He said that Simple Residence Courtyard was suitable for him to rest, claiming to lodge there for the night. You also know, he’s the one who saved my life. When he made such a request, how could I possibly refuse him?"

"Is that all?" Shu Xiu sounded a bit disappointed after hearing her response.

Shen Qinghe hadn’t yet had a chance to reply when she heard a man’s low laughter coming from inside.

Of course, it wasn’t just her who heard it, Shen Zhiyao also heard it, and Shu Xiu, who was not deaf, heard it clearly as well.

"Are you sure?" Shu Xiu asked in a low voice.

She felt that the scornful laughter of Mr. Wuya just now seemed to be implying that he was settling in the Simple Residence Courtyard and not leaving?

Shen Qinghe wasn’t sure, she felt that elder sister was right, getting involved with Dongfang Wuya made it difficult to cut ties with him completely.

"Certain, probably Mr. Wuya is waiting to go back to Bixiao Tower once his sleep is no longer troubled?" Shen Qinghe said, her tone full of uncertainty.

Shu Xiu held back her laughter, she didn’t expose Qinghe’s lie either: "Mr. Wuya owes you a life-saving debt, you should sit down and talk things over properly. If he wants to recuperate here, just let him be, don’t be too hard on him."

Then she added in a whisper, "After all, you can’t beat him."

Shen Qinghe glared at Shu Xiu, who didn’t stay any longer and left the Simple Residence Courtyard.

The moment she appeared, all the busybodies waiting around immediately crowded around her to ask about the situation.

Shu Xiu held out her hand: "First, hand over the Spirit Stones."

The crowd was willing to fork out the Spirit Stones, their eagerness evident; Shu Xiu collected them with great delight before she relayed the information she had gathered.

"From what you’re saying, is Mr. Wuya refusing to leave the Simple Residence Courtyard?" A Female Cultivator inquired after pondering the situation provided.

In other words, even though Qinghe doesn’t want Mr. Wuya anymore, he still shamelessly remains at the Simple Residence Courtyard?

"I didn’t say that. How about we observe for a few more days before drawing conclusions?" Shu Xiu, despite having her own conclusion, didn’t speak too definitively.

That night, those who had been waiting for Dongfang Wuya to show his face realized he hadn’t stepped foot out of the Simple Residence Courtyard.

Shen Qinghe didn’t want to see Dongfang Wuya anymore and simply sent Shen Zhiyao to ask him when he planned to leave.

Shen Zhiyao, tasked with this thankless job, had no complaints. She entered Qinghe’s bedroom and said to the man lying on Shen Qinghe’s bed: "Mr. Wuya, Qinghe asks when you will leave. Your constant stay in the Simple Residence Courtyard is indecent, and everyone will think that you and Qinghe are lingering over a severed connection."

Dongfang Wuya, who was feeling utterly bored, perked up at Zhiyao’s arrival: "Why doesn’t Shen Qinghe come talk to me herself? Is this how she honors her teachers and respects propriety? Furthermore, what does it matter to me what others think?"

Clearly, it was Shen Qinghe who slept with him but didn’t take responsibility, wanting to shake him off easily, which was simply not going to happen!

Shen Zhiyao was rendered speechless by Dongfang Wuya’s retort and ended up retreating; afterward, she said to Shen Qinghe, "You handle Mr. Wuya. I’m no match for him."

Shen Qinghe felt the same. Mr. Wuya was never reasonable to begin with, how could elder sister possibly contend with him? Moreover, since she was the one who did wrong, it wasn’t fair for elder sister to bear Mr. Wuya’s wrath.

Having realized this, she bravely entered her own bedroom, only to see Dongfang Wuya’s back.

He was facing away from her, doing something.

"Mr. Wuya, isn’t it time to return to Bixiao Tower?" she asked cautiously.

Dongfang Wuya didn’t respond to her, so she had to approach closer and said again, "Mr. Wuya, it’s not good for you to always stay in the Simple Residence Courtyard."

The man on the bed still didn’t respond, leaving her at a loss.

The room was as silent as death, and after choosing her words carefully, she added, "If Mr. Wuya is angry, just take it out on me. It’ll be fine once you vent it, don’t damage your health out of anger."

Haha, Mr. Wuya has two characteristics, one is being old enough, and the other is having thick enough skin.
