Was it you that night?
Chapter 266 - 264: Shen Qinghe, You Refuse to Go with Me?

Chapter 266: Chapter 264: Shen Qinghe, You Refuse to Go with Me?

"Don’t think that playing tricks on me will make me believe you. Weren’t you the one who conspired with Nan Sheng to frame me, claiming I was the World-Ending Catastrophe?" Shen Qinghe stopped beating around the bush and confronted Bai Xing.

Bai Xing looked at Shen Qinghe with affection: "Have you ever considered that maybe my divination is true?"

The Holy Maiden of the Formless Sect was nothing more than an avatar in the cultivation world.

Shen Qinghe was taken aback, and then firmly replied, "Impossible!"

How could she possibly be the World-Ending Catastrophe? The real catastrophe was Nan Sheng, Nan Sheng was the original protagonist of the novel, and in the source material, the three male leads caused chaos in the Three Realms for Nan Sheng.

This matter had nothing to do with her at all.

"Qinghe, you indeed are the World-Ending Catastrophe. I’m here to advise you, stay away from those three men. Only by doing so can the Three Realms avoid descending into chaos because of you."

As soon as Bai Xing finished speaking, she disappeared from in front of Shen Qinghe.

Shen Qinghe’s expression changed again and again.

Were the "three men" Bai Xing referred to the three male leads? Why did Bai Xing specifically mention three people?

In the original story, Nan Sheng caused the three male leads to fight fiercely, but she was just a cannon fodder character doomed to die early in the book.

Yet another voice told her that the storyline had already gone off track. Yan Changsheng, who once deeply loved Nan Sheng, had fallen for her; Xiao Chen, who had wanted to marry Nan Sheng, now declared his intention to marry her; even Dongfang Wuya, who was indifferent to women, had taken a liking to her.

Maybe Bai Xing wasn’t exaggerating; maybe she indeed was the instigator of chaos in the Three Realms, the World-Ending Catastrophe herself?

"Shen Qinghe, I’m so tired," Dongfang Wuya’s voice awakened Shen Qinghe from her drifting thoughts.

Shen Qinghe, annoyed, looked at the sleepy-eyed Dongfang Wuya and said, "All you ever do is sleep, sleep, sleep. If you want to sleep, go sleep by yourself; I still need to cultivate."

"I want you to accompany me," Dongfang Wuya insisted, holding Shen Qinghe tight and refusing to let go.

In the end, Shen Qinghe couldn’t resist Dongfang Wuya and let him have his way.

Bai Xing had not yet gone far when she found herself at Shaonian Tower without realizing it.

Yan Changsheng was struggling against the Demonic Energy within his body when he sensed something unusual outside the tower. He left Shaonian Tower to check, but found no one there.

When he returned to Shaonian Tower, he discovered someone had silently entered the courtyard—a woman in white clothes, who looked very kind and familiar to him.

"Who are you?" Yan Changsheng was certain he had never seen this woman before.

Bai Xing gazed steadily at Yan Changsheng and after a while said, "I’m an old acquaintance of yours. Changsheng, being stubborn in life brings no good; what isn’t meant for you should be let go."

Yan Changsheng looked straight at Bai Xing: "I don’t know you; how could you possibly be an acquaintance of mine?"

But he felt that this woman was very familiar, as if an old acquaintance had come.

"Qinghe likes Mr. Wuya, you should try liking other women. As long as you let go of her, your Heart Demon, you can still turn back," Bai Xing said again.

Hearing this, Yan Changsheng did not get angry but laughed instead: "She’s not my Heart Demon; I was mistaken from the start..."

"You weren’t mistaken, maybe it was me who was wrong," Bai Xing looked steadily at Yan Changsheng and sighed deeply, "After all this, Changsheng, can you not try to let go of Qinghe?"

Yan Changsheng furrowed his brows: "Who exactly are you, and why are you telling me all this?"

Why did this woman, who suddenly appeared, feel familiar to him?

Seeing that Yan Changsheng was unwilling to let go, Bai Xing sighed lightly: "Well, you must do as you see fit..."

As she was about to leave, Yan Changsheng called after her, "Who exactly are you?"

The answer to him was only the woman’s fading silhouette...

In the Simple Residence Courtyard, Dongfang Wuya slept for three days and nights, during which time Shen Qinghe was confined in his arms and couldn’t go anywhere.

After Dongfang Wuya awoke, he stared at Shen Qinghe continuously. Due to boredom, she too fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Dongfang Wuya looking at her as if assessing and probing.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Qinghe thought she might have drooled and wiped the corners of her mouth.

Suddenly, Dongfang Wuya said, "Shen Qinghe, we agreed to form a pact, why didn’t you come?"

Shen Qinghe looked puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"I’m asking why you didn’t come on the day of the pact, why were you with Yan Changsheng?" Dongfang Wuya’s expression was stern.

Shen Qinghe had never seen such a cold gaze from Dongfang Wuya; she felt this unfamiliar Dongfang Wuya looked very strange.

"What are you saying? I don’t understand. It was clearly you who didn’t come that day. Of course, I know it wasn’t your fault, it was Yan Changsheng who took you away..."

Was Dongfang Wuya’s memory confused?

Dongfang Wuya looked at her intently and then got out of bed. He left the bedroom and walked into the courtyard, "Where is this place? How did I end up here?"

Shen Qinghe was at a loss for words for a moment, "This is the Simple Residence Courtyard, where I usually live. We are at the Sky Pole Sect, don’t you even remember the Sky Pole Sect?"

Dongfang Wuya turned to glance at Shen Qinghe, "Why aren’t we in Snow Bone City?"

All of a sudden, Shen Qinghe didn’t know what to say.

He didn’t remember the Sky Pole Sect and the Simple Residence Courtyard but recalled Snow Bone City, yet Snow Bone City was long gone; he had no home left.

If he knew that his home was no more, would it cause him sadness and distress?

"Master, Snow Bone City is no more." It was Xiao Bai who replied.

Dongfang Wuya looked towards Xiao Bai, "Who are you?"

Xiao Bai hurriedly replied, "I am Xiao Bai, and along with Little Black, both of us are puppets that you created."

Dongfang Wuya frowned, feeling no affection for Xiao Bai. He found everything here foreign; he didn’t want to stay here.

His gaze landed on Shen Qinghe’s face, "You, come with me!"

Shen Qinghe asked subconsciously, "Where are you taking me?"

"Anywhere will do!" Dongfang Wuya said, about to reach for Shen Qinghe’s hand.

But Shen Qinghe avoided his touch, "I don’t know where you want to go, but my home is at the Sky Pole Sect, and my family is here as well."

Dongfang Wuya’s eyes narrowed with intensity, "Shen Qinghe, are you actually refusing to come with me?"

"Mr. Wuya, you’ve been at the Sky Pole Sect for so many years; this is your home. Snow Bone City is no more, where would you go? I’ll say it again, my home is at the Sky Pole Sect, and unless necessary, I will not leave the Sky Pole Sect!" Shen Qinghe said solemnly, making it clear she was not lying.

"Are you sure you won’t come with me? Or is it that the one you want to follow is Yan Changsheng?" Dongfang Wuya’s eyes turned icy.

"What does this have to do with him? You can’t be unreasonable. You know full well that he and I keep to our own paths..." Shen Qinghe spoke but then suddenly remembered Dongfang Wuya’s memory was disordered, "Forget it, I won’t argue with you. If you don’t want to stay in the Simple Residence Courtyard, then you should go back to Bixiao Tower."

Seeing the tension between them, Xiao Bai hurriedly whispered to Dongfang Wuya, "Master, why not return to Bixiao Tower first? Fairy Qinghe is very good-natured. As long as you talk to her nicely, she generally listens to the master."
