Chapter 27 -27: Become Completely Unrecognizable
Shen Qinghe hurriedly took the pile of elixir bottles, and when she looked up again, Dongfang Wuya’s figure was no longer visible in the room.
As soon as Dongfang Wuya left, Shen Zhiyao excitedly ran in and said to Shen Qinghe, “I bet that Mr. Wuya must have fallen for you!”
Seeing the heap of elixir bottles in Shen Qinghe’s hands, she curiously took one and opened it. Catching sight of the fragrant top-grade Spirit Pill inside, she found herself momentarily lost for words.
“Are these, all these for you from Mr. Wuya?” Shen Zhiyao managed to find her voice after a long while.
“Yes, why would uncle-master have so many top-grade Spirit Pills?” Shen Qinghe was also very curious.
“You don’t know about this, but I’ve heard that Mr. Wuya is an alchemy master. Yet he isn’t a pill cultivator. A single top-grade Spirit Pill crafted by Mr. Wuya can’t be bought even with hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones, but he just gave you several bottles. Qinghe, he must be in love with you!” Shen Zhiyao looked at Shen Qinghe excitedly and suddenly burst into loud laughter, “Mr. Wuya is so much better than Yan Changsheng. You’ve gained in the east corner what was lost in the west.”
Looking at Shen Zhiyao, who was talking to herself, Shen Qinghe was speechless: “Elder sister is overthinking it.”
Fearing Shen Zhiyao wouldn’t believe her, she repeated all that Dongfang Wuya had lectured her.
“Impossible. Based on my many years of experience reading stories, someone like Mr. Wuya who stays away from women will certainly have fallen for someone if he treats her specially,” said Shen Zhiyao, her eyes lighting up, “I’ve got it, Mr. Wuya is in love without realizing it!”
Shen Qinghe admired Shen Zhiyao’s imagination and couldn’t help but laugh and cry: “I think what Mr. Wuya said was right, I only have Foundation Establishment now, my cultivation base is too low, I should put all my energy into cultivating.”
As for matters of love between men and women, she had no interest in getting involved. Facing the oncoming force of the protagonist, the only chance she had to save her life was to improve her own cultivation base.
For the past twenty years, she had been of mortal flesh and had no way to cultivate. Having narrowly escaped a trip through the Ghost Gate Pass last time, she had finally stumbled upon an immortal fate and should grasp it tightly.
Shen Zhiyao patted Shen Qinghe’s shoulder: “That makes sense. At the very least, you can’t let Nan Sheng, that little wretch, beat you.”
“I cultivate for myself, not to compete with others,” Shen Qinghe said without wasting more words, took a Spirit Pill and threw it into her mouth, then took another and threw it into Shen Zhiyao’s mouth.
After eating the elixir, Shen Zhiyao happily hugged Shen Qinghe’s soft body: “Boo-hoo, I’m so happy. I actually got to eat a top-grade Spirit Pill personally refined by Mr. Wuya. With this one pill, I’ve just consumed a million Spirit Stones.”
Then Shen Qinghe threw another elixir into her mouth, and amidst the excitement, Shen Zhiyao hugged Shen Qinghe and kissed her several times.
After eating the elixirs, the two sisters concentrated on cultivating and put all worldly matters out of their minds.
In Shaonian Tower, Yan Changsheng and Nan Sheng indulged in a night of folly, quickly restoring their relationship to its former state, which made Nan Sheng breathe a sigh of relief.
But afterward, Yan Changsheng still lectured her about the Secret Manual. She didn’t take it to heart, but put on an obedient face and agreed.
Only when Yan Changsheng kept going on and on, she finally grew annoyed, pushed Yan Changsheng away: “Brother Changsheng must not like me anymore, I’m not shameless. From now on, I’ll keep my distance from Brother Changsheng.”
Yan Changsheng watched as Nan Sheng ran away, stunned for a moment, but did not chase after her.
Every time he argued with Nan Sheng, he felt exhausted too.
His deep love for Nan Sheng was undeniable, yet she didn’t seem to love him as much. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have used him to steal Qinghe’s Secret Manual.
The problem was he couldn’t help loving Nan Sheng; loving this woman seemed to be his instinct.
All he hoped for now was that Nan Sheng remembered the content of the Secret Manual and would return it to Qinghe.
On the other hand, after running a distance, Nan Sheng deliberately slowed down, hoping Yan Changsheng would catch up to her. Unfortunately, after waiting for two quarters of an hour, she still didn’t see any trace of Yan Changsheng.
Her beautiful face darkened, recalling there were lessons at Juxiu Hall today, she headed there.
As she entered the Juxiu Hall, nearly all the male cultivators’ eyes fell upon her face, making her regain all her confidence.
So many male cultivators were turning back to look at her, yet it was only Xiao Chen who had his back to her, seemingly indifferent to her arrival.
Although Xiao Chen had always treated her differently, why was he so indifferent to her every time?
She naturally took a seat beside Xiao Chen, leaned closer to him, and exhaled a fragrant breath, “Brother Xiao, what are you thinking about?”
Xiao Chen turned his gaze towards Nan Sheng and realized that she was very close to him, so close that if he leaned in a bit more, he could kiss her cherry lips. For a moment, he felt a stirring of desire.
It’s undeniable that Nan Sheng had a beauty that could cause the downfall of a city, and her unique purity mixed with seduction was very attractive to men, but in that instant he thought of the Mid-Autumn night last year when he almost kissed Shen Qinghe.
Perhaps it was the thought of Shen Qinghe that caused the slight urge inside him to vanish instantly. He straightened his posture and replied coolly and indifferently, “Nothing in particular.”
Nan Sheng was dissatisfied with Xiao Chen’s cold treatment towards her. It seemed like every time she thought she was getting closer to Xiao Chen, he would become more distant.
His hot-and-cold demeanor made her want to conquer him even more.
She didn’t believe there was a man who could escape her love trap, so she spoke to Xiao Chen in an even more enticing manner.
When Shen Zhiyao and Shen Qinghe entered the Juxiu Hall, they saw Nan Sheng sitting so close to Xiao Chen it was as if she were almost sitting on his lap, while Xiao Chen was neither rejecting nor initiating, behaving like a flirtatious playboy.
Shen Zhiyao clenched her teeth in anger, “Ever since that little bitch Nan Sheng arrived, Big Senior Brother has become a completely different person, no longer the polite and jade-like young master he once was.”
Shen Qinghe was busy looking for a seat; she finally spotted an empty one and was about to take it with Shen Zhiyao, but someone beat her to it, snatching the spot before her.
In the entire Juxiu Hall, the only seats left were a few beside Xiao Chen.
Just then, Nan Sheng called out to the Shen sisters, “Shen Qinghe, there’s a seat over here.”
With her call, everyone looked over, including Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen’s gaze lingered momentarily on Shen Qinghe’s face before he turned his head back as if nothing happened.
Shen Zhiyao was worried that Shen Qinghe would be reluctant, but Shen Qinghe pulled her toward the empty seats next to Xiao Chen. She was about to sit next to Xiao Chen when, to her surprise, Shen Qinghe took that spot for herself.
Shen Zhiyao, worried that Xiao Chen would harm Shen Qinghe, warned him, “If you ever harbor murderous intentions towards Shen Qing again, I will never let you off!”
Xiao Chen glanced at Shen Zhiyao, then looked again toward Shen Qinghe, who was sitting beside him without a sideways glance, and replied in a light voice, “When have I ever harbored murderous intentions toward Shen Qing?”
Shen Zhiyao certainly didn’t believe Xiao Chen. She was about to speak when she heard Xiao Chen jest, “I have no interest in Shen Qing’s life, but…”
His frivolous gaze landed on Shen Qinghe’s snow-white and jade-like neck, his eyes seemingly tangible.
