Was it you that night?
Chapter 239 - 237: The Man Who Finally Got Out of Bed

Chapter 239: Chapter 237: The Man Who Finally Got Out of Bed

Shen Qinghe found it inconceivable, "Really? It can’t be that serious, right?"

In the past, wasn’t Nan Sheng just living in the Spring Breeze Pavilion? It’s unlikely that the two of them cohabited for such a long time without engaging in Dual Cultivation.

Clearly, in the book, it was Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng who were crazy for Nan Sheng. How come in reality, it’s the other way around—with Nan Sheng acting so crazily as to force herself on Xiao Chen?

"That’s what everyone says, and many have heard the Sect Master lose his temper. It’s probably true. To make someone like the Sect Master so angry that he doesn’t hesitate to fall out with the Demon Realm, Nan Sheng must be quite something. Still, weren’t Xiao Chen and Nan Sheng at the stage of discussing marriage? Could it be that Nan Sheng has never been able to sleep with Xiao Chen?" Shen Zhiyao felt more and more that the rumor was preposterous.

Shen Qinghe thought about Xiao Chen’s character in the original text and knew that he was not an easy person to deal with. It seemed not so strange that Nan Sheng hadn’t been able to sleep with Xiao Chen.

"Elder sister, let’s focus on our cultivation. Ever since Nan Sheng met Gong Xian, her Cultivation Base has improved rapidly. She surpassed me in the blink of an eye. With Nan Lan backing her, and her father being a person like Qu Nian, I think she might also go to the Black River Secret Realm..." said Shen Qinghe.

After hearing this, Shen Zhiyao’s expression turned serious and she solemnly said, "Alright, let’s concentrate on our cultivation."

Her Cultivation Base was too weak.

If Nan Sheng wanted to use her to contain Qinghe, how could she escape Nan Sheng’s clutches with such a low Cultivation Base?

As it turned out, when Shen Qinghe focused on her cultivation, the results were significant.

In just two months, she attracted a tribulation thunder. She was on the verge of another breakthrough.

Zuo An did not approach the Simple Residence Courtyard but instead, holding Xiao Bai, inquired about Dongfang Wuya’s romantic situation.

"I can’t say for sure. My master lives in the Simple Residence Courtyard and usually doesn’t leave Fairy Qinghe’s bed..."

Upon hearing this, Zuo An’s eyes widened, thinking to himself, wasn’t this a clear case?

Seeing Zuo An’s expression, Xiao Bai knew he had misunderstood, "It’s like this, the master took over Fairy Qinghe’s bed. Fairy Qinghe cultivates day and night, so she gave her bed up to the master."

Zuo An inwardly felt it was a pity, "How could Wuya be so ineffectual?"

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Bai immediately kept some distance from Zuo An.

Indeed, the next moment Zuo An felt an overwhelming pressure crash down on him like Mount Tai, making it difficult for him to stand.

For the sake of face, he couldn’t kneel before all the disciples, so he forced himself to stay upright.

He communicated with Dongfang Wuya using a secret technique, "Ancestor, I was wrong, I won’t dare again. Please, ease up on your pressure."

After about a quarter of an hour, Dongfang Wuya finally relented.

By this time, the thunder tribulation that Shen Qinghe was undergoing was almost over as well.

Coincidentally, Shen Zhiyao also attracted a thunder tribulation. After she successfully passed it, she officially became a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

The Shen sisters advanced in level at the same time, and the happiest person was Lord Meng Yun.

He treated Shen Qinghe like a younger sister, and as for Shen Zhiyao... well, there seemed to be a bit of romantic interest. Seeing them both advance, he was at the forefront of the celebration.

Wu Ke saw Lord Meng Yun treating the Simple Residence Courtyard like his own home and his brows furrowed, "Why hasn’t Lord Meng Yun left yet?"

The Sky Pole Sect was not the Thousand Dreams Retreat, what did it look like with Lord Meng Yun always hanging around?

"You don’t know? Lord Meng Yun has taken a fancy to Zhiyao," Zuo An seemed keen on playing matchmaker, "If Lord Meng Yun and Zhiyao get together, then the Thousand Dreams Retreat and the Sky Pole Sect would be in-laws. The powerful alliance would indeed be a good thing."

However, Wu Ke’s expression darkened slightly, surprised that Lord Meng Yun had actually set his sights on Shen Zhiyao.

"With the Sky Pole Sect’s current prestige, there is no need to form an alliance with any Immortal Sect through marriage, and Zhiyao is not a tool for alliance," Wu Ke said coldly.

But Zuo An held a different opinion; he thought that if the Thousand Dreams Retreat and the Sky Pole Sect were to form an alliance through marriage, it would be beneficial for both sects.

Shen Zhiyao was happily holding Shen Qinghe when she suddenly felt a chill. She turned her head and met Wu Ke’s serpentine gaze.

She suddenly felt unwell and sidled closer to Shen Qinghe.

At that moment, she suddenly remembered something—if Qinghe went to the Black River Secret Realm for trials, wouldn’t she be left alone?

If Wu Ke decided to kill her then, with Wu Ke’s cultivation base, wouldn’t it be exceedingly easy for him?

Thinking of this possibility, her joy from just advancing in level instantly vanished without a trace.

"Elder sister, what’s wrong?" Shen Qinghe immediately sensed the change in Shen Zhiyao’s emotions.

In the bustling Simple Residence Courtyard, Shen Zhiyao smiled and shook her head: "It’s nothing."

She would discuss this matter with Qinghe later, she must find a backer to protect herself while Qinghe was attending the trials at the Black River Secret Realm.

Having made a plan, she was no longer anxious.

Shu Xiu finally squeezed through the crowd, arriving in front of the Shen sisters, smiling beamingly, "You two are so amazing!"

Shen Zhiyao’s smile crinkled her eyes into slits: "I’m just basking in Qinghe’s glory."

If Mr. Wuya wasn’t interested in Qinghe, he never would have fed her the Immortal Pill.

"Elder sister has always had a talent for cultivation," Shen Qinghe was also very happy.

"When Shen Zhuo wakes up and finds out how impressive you sisters have been, he will be very happy!" Zuo An looked at the Shen sisters as if viewing the God of Wealth.

Just when the place was bustling, a man’s light cough suddenly came from inside the house.

Although the cough was soft, everyone present heard it distinctly.

The scene quieted down for a moment.

Now Xiao Bai appeared and said to everyone, "The master enjoys quiet; please leave after your celebrations, so as not to disturb the master’s rest."

"We’ve just arrived, there’s no rush," Zuo An said, glancing meaningfully in the direction of the main room.

Lord Meng Yun, who was also not good at reading the room, took out a prepared gift and handed it to the Shen sisters: "I offer my congratulations on your advancement with a Magical Treasure, see if you like it?"

Shen Qinghe took out the Magical Treasure to see—a cultivation manual. Although she might not necessarily be able to use it, she liked it very much.

Shen Zhiyao also curiously took out the Magical Treasure, which turned out to be a jade flute of pure green.

"This jade flute is something I came across by chance. If you encounter danger, just blow it. As long as I’m not too far away, I will be able to hear it. It can also be shrunk." Meng Yun tapped the jade flute lightly, and it shrank to several times smaller, which he then inserted into Shen Zhiyao’s hair.

Shen Zhiyao was overjoyed, but Shen Qinghe’s expression was somewhat strange.

It wasn’t just Shen Qinghe; others also sensed something unusual.

The last man who played such a trick was Xiao Chen, and his object was Shen Qinghe. Xiao Chen was currently present in the crowd.

This time, Lord Meng Yun used the same tactic and presented the Magical Treasure to Shen Zhiyao. It was clear what he intended, and everyone understood.

No wonder Lord Meng Yun did not leave the Sky Pole Sect; it turns out Shen Zhiyao had caught his eye.

The person with the ugliest expression on the scene was Wu Ke, especially the scene where Shen Zhiyao joyfully accepted the Magical Treasure from Lord Meng Yun was particularly grating to him.

Xiao Bai, seeing the Simple Residence Courtyard becoming increasingly lively, was pondering how to report back to his master. When he felt something behind him, he turned around, and sure enough, there was his master.

Although he said so, during this period, the master had consistently stayed in Fairy Qinghe’s bed. Today, he voluntarily got out of bed.

I forgot to update, I only remembered when I got up to use the toilet this morning. Could it be because I’m getting old that it has affected my brain?
