Chapter 25 -25: I Want to Kill Nan Sheng!
Shen Qinghe did not expect Yan Changsheng to stand up and speak for her, her irony tinged with a smirk, “You are so brazen because you are convinced I have no evidence. Nan Sheng, do you dare make a sworn oath before everyone?”
Nan Sheng sneered back, “You’re being utterly unreasonable!”

“Do you dare to curse yourself and say if you stole my secret manual, you will be struck down by karmic retribution and go mad and become obsessed?” Shen Qinghe pressed forward toward Nan Sheng, her gaze as fiery as flames.
Nan Sheng took an involuntary step back, her guilt avoiding Shen Qinghe’s burning stare.
Shen Qinghe let out a cold laugh, “It seems you are indeed guilty and dare not make the oath…”
“Who says I don’t dare? I swear here and now, if I stole your secret manual, I will certainly go mad and become obsessed!” Nan Sheng, provoked by Shen Qinghe, retorted angrily.
After all, she wasn’t the one who had stolen Shen Qinghe’s secret manual. Why would she fear making the oath?
“Remember your oath today, I’ll be waiting for the day you descend into madness and obsession!”
Having said that, Shen Qinghe grabbed Shen Zhiyao’s hand, straightened her spine, and walked out of the encirclement of people.
Xiao Chen, watching Shen Qinghe’s departing figure, inexplicably believed her claims to be true.
In his view, Shen Qinghe’s character was more reliable than that of Nan Sheng.
Yan Changsheng had been so enthralled by Nan Sheng that even injuring his Master was within his capabilities, then what else was he not capable of doing?
Apart from Xiao Chen, everyone present sided with Nan Sheng, thinking Shen Qinghe was trying to smear Nan Sheng.
Once the excitement was over, everyone dispersed on their own.
Yan Changsheng silently folded back to the Side Courtyard, Nan Sheng noticing at a glance that he was angry.
She hurried after him, coquettishly saying, “Brother Changsheng…”
Yan Changsheng suddenly turned to look at her, questioning coldly, “You lying to me about becoming obsessed was a deception?!”
Nan Sheng revealed her prepared story, “Nonsense! I was indeed obsessed at the beginning, but Medicine Master Li is skilled in his arts and cured me—”
“You’re lying! Do you think being obsessed is so easily cured? Even Uncle Huang’s medical skills couldn’t manage it, let alone Medicine Master Li?” Yan Changsheng’s voice paused, and he instantly understood, “It seems Medicine Master Li has colluded with you to deceive me; I can’t believe I trusted you unquestioningly.”
He thought Nan Sheng was in mortal danger, and out of fear that her condition might worsen, he had acted against his better judgement and snatched the secret manual from Qinghe’s hands.
How could he have known that the woman he loved and trusted the most would use him, deceive him, and leave him in such an embarrassing situation?
Although he didn’t consider himself a good person, he had never done anything truly malicious, yet he had, for Nan Sheng, not only injured his Master but also called off his engagement with Qinghe. Now he had even stooped to the low act of stealing Qinghe’s secret manual.
Nan Sheng professed her love for him at every turn, was her love simply using him to steal Qinghe’s secret manual?
If one day he were to become of no use to her, would Nan Sheng still love him?
Since her encounter with Yan Changsheng, Nan Sheng had never seen such a cold gaze in his eyes. Not even on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival last year had he shown such a chilling look.
This Yan Changsheng looked very strange, making her heart tremble.
She bit her lower lip lightly, her doe-like eyes rapidly filling with tears as she said hoarsely, “I’m sorry, I, I…”
As she spoke, she suddenly burst into tears, “Wah— It’s all because Brother Changsheng is too outstanding. Everyone says Brother Changsheng is naturally intelligent, the most powerful cultivator in the Sky Pole Sect after Mr. Wuya. Brother Changsheng has a profound cultivation base, while I have just established my foundation. To catch up with Brother Changsheng as quickly as possible in terms of cultivation, I, I only…”
She threw herself into Yan Changsheng’s arms, pressing her delicate body tightly against his, “Brother Changsheng can punish me however he wants, but he can’t abandon me. I truly realize my mistake, I do.”
Yan Changsheng felt a fire lit within him by the girl in his arms. He was both angry and anxious, about to push her away, but she kissed him urgently.
Anger mixed with desire, he quickly lost reason and threw Nan Sheng onto the bed.
Afterward, Nan Sheng made great efforts to appease Yan Changsheng. She knew how to dissipate this man’s anger. Handling him wasn’t difficult at all, after all, he loved her so much, as well as her body.
Compared to the heated entanglements in the Shaonian Tower, the Simple Residence Courtyard was much quieter.
Shen Qinghe felt a bit uneasy seeing Shen Zhiyao being too quiet, “Elder sister, don’t be angry…”
Shen Zhiyao wiped her face and finally said hoarsely after a while, “I want to kill Nan Sheng!”
Elder Shen lay unconscious from his wounds. Qinghe’s betrothed had been stolen by Nan Sheng, and now even Qinghe’s secret manual had been snatched away by Nan Sheng. She couldn’t just do nothing.
Shen Qinghe was startled for a moment.
No wonder her sister was so quiet, she was pondering over this matter.
Originally, she didn’t want Shen Zhiyao to get involved in these troubles, but Shen Zhiyao was impulsive and really might go kill Nan Sheng. If Nan Sheng got hurt, Shen Zhiyao would be the one to suffer since her fate in the book was not a good one.
After only a moment’s hesitation, she decided to tell Shen Zhiyao the truth, “I have something to tell sister in a bit, but sister must promise me that no one else can know about this.”
Seeing how serious Shen Qinghe was, Shen Zhiyao immediately agreed.
Shen Qinghe then recounted the specifics of the incident and finally revealed the key point, “The secret manual given to me by Mr. Wuya, I hid it. The one that Yan Changsheng took is a fake. If Nan Sheng really practices according to that manual, there’s a high chance she will go mad and become obsessed. Currently, everything is under my control; elder sister doesn’t need to touch Nan Sheng. One day, she will reap her own consequences.”
The secret manual taken by Nan Sheng was a creation of her own, with mental methods suitable for orthodox cultivators in the beginning, but those toward the end were suited for Demon Cultivators. As a Sword Cultivator with pure Daoist Magic, if Nan Sheng practiced the mental methods of a Demon Cultivator, she would inevitably go mad and become obsessed one day.
Shen Zhiyao was astounded, sizing up Shen Qinghe in amazement, “Qinghe, you are so clever!”
If it were her, she would have taken direct action against Nan Sheng.
Shen Qinghe’s expression turned slightly embarrassed, “It’s not that I’m clever, I just thought of a way to protect myself. Sister, you mustn’t act recklessly when you encounter problems—you won’t gain any benefits that way. Sister mustn’t underestimate Nan Sheng just because her cultivation base is low now. She is the Girl of Destiny. Not only is she protected by our Second Senior Brother, but Big Senior Brother is also enthralled by her. If sister really harmed Nan Sheng, both Big Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother wouldn’t let sister off. Father is already unconscious; sister can’t afford to have any more trouble. We’re not strong enough yet; Sky Pole Sect is a place where the strong are revered. Only if we cultivate well and become strong will we have the right to speak. What do you think, sister?”
Shen Zhiyao thought it made sense.
Just like how Qinghe’s secret manual was easily snatched away by Yan Changsheng, it was all because his cultivation base was much higher than Qinghe’s.
Even if they wanted to deal with Nan Sheng, they could only take action once their cultivation bases were sufficiently profound.
“Alright, I understand,” Shen Zhiyao pinched Shen Qinghe’s face, feeling emotional, “You’ve grown up and become capable, little girl.”
