Was it you that night?-Chapter 45 - Ooh too sweet too sweet
Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Ooh, too sweet, too sweet…
Chapter 45 -45: Ooh, too sweet, too sweet…
Shen Zhiyao thought back carefully about everything concerning Dongfang Wuya but was quite clueless, “Anyway, I’ve known of Mr. Wuya’s great name since I can remember, but Elder Shen has never ever told me about Mr. Wuya’s origins.”
Although she was several decades older than Qinghe, she had met Mr. Wuya only a handful of times.
Because of Qinghe’s involvement, she had seen Mr. Wuya much more frequently of late.
Shen Qinghe fell silent for a moment, then suddenly had an outrageous thought, “Is there a possibility that Mr. Wuya is the Sect Master’s illegitimate child?”
Shen Zhiyao couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Sister, you’re overthinking this!”
Dongfang Wuya hadn’t intended to eavesdrop on the Shen sisters’ conversation, but he still caught the phrase “illegitimate child” mentioned by Shen Qinghe.
She was really audacious, to be bullied to such an extent and still have the mind to fabricate rumors about his origins.
Then he heard Shen Qinghe continue to speculate about his background, “Why am I overthinking? Don’t you think there’s a high possibility in what I said? Maybe the Sect Master has his compelling reasons, unable to acknowledge his own son, but his concern for his son is undeniable.”
Shen Zhiyao couldn’t help but chuckle, “You really are overthinking. I happened to overhear Elder Shen mention that Mr. Wuya is actually older than the Sect Master. It’s said that Mr. Wuya joined the Sky Pole Sect even before the Sect Master did.”
This time, Shen Qinghe was genuinely surprised, “Is Mr. Wuya that old?!”
The age-shunned Dongfang Wuya: …

Shen Zhiyao was just about to defend the charm of the widely adored Mr. Wuya when suddenly Dongfang Wuya came over and said to Shen Qinghe, “You, come with me.”
Shen Qinghe looked puzzled, “??”
Seeing her seemingly slow to catch on, Dongfang Wuya curved his lips indifferently, “We’re going to the Punishment Hall to witness a public punishment.”
Shen Qinghe’s eyes lit up, “Can I go too?”
“As the victim, of course, you can witness the evildoers who bullied you receive their punishment,” Dongfang Wuya said and was about to take off with his Sword Flight.
Then he belatedly remembered that Shen Qinghe didn’t have Spiritual Energy or a Spirit Beast and couldn’t perform Sword Flight, so naturally, he grasped her slender waist and pulled her to the front of his body.
A crowd of Cultivators gasped in unison, as Dongfang Wuya was seen as untouchable in their eyes, known for not being close to women, and even male beings found it difficult to get near Mr. Wuya.
They wondered if Dongfang Wuya had actually taken a liking to Shen Qinghe by taking such initiative.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhiyao knew some of the practical details, but still, she thought this scene was delectably delightful, so sweet…
Only Shen Qinghe herself remained emotionally detached, her heart still as dead water, stirring not a single ripple. She knew that even though Dongfang Wuya had gripped her waist, he saw her merely as a piece of wood, not a woman.
This was her first time flying mid-air, and at a glance downward, she saw the crow-like crowd below, instantly feeling dizzy and instinctively clutching the only “object” she could cling to in front of her.
“Object”—Dongfang Wuya looked at Shen Qinghe, who had thrown herself into his arms, and thought to himself that the girl really didn’t miss any chance to get close to him.
Staring at the top of Shen Qinghe’s head, he put on a cold face, “Shen Qinghe, I advise you to behave yourself!”
With her eyes tightly closed, Shen Qinghe heard the voice above her head. In her confusion, she opened her eyes and realized she was hiding in Dongfang Wuya’s embrace, and the “object” she was holding was Dongfang Wuya’s waist.
She stammered an explanation, “I, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Dongfang Wuya scoffed coldly, “Are you sure it wasn’t intentional?”
Not intentional, yet clinging tightly to his waist; if it had been intentional, would she have gone as far as to drag him into Dual Cultivation?
At this, Shen Qinghe remembered she was still holding on to a man’s waist. She quickly released her grip, but forgot they were mid-air, and almost tumbled down from the height.
Fortunately, Dongfang Wuya timely grabbed the collar of her back and pulled her back to his side.
They soon arrived at the Punishment Hall. Shen Qinghe set foot on solid ground, thinking she might finally be able to keep some distance from Dongfang Wuya. Just as she was about to step aside, Dongfang Wuya unexpectedly pulled her wrist and asked, “Where are you going?”
Shen Qinghe saw Sect Master Zuo sneakily observing their movements and whispered back, “I’ll just stand by and watch.”
Dongfang Wuya was unconcerned and gave an order, “Stand by my side.”
“Yes,” Shen Qinghe responded respectfully.
She stood there for a while and again noticed Sect Master Zuo sneaking glances over.
Following his gaze back, she discovered Dongfang Wuya was still holding her wrist.
She tried to struggle free, only to find Dongfang Wuya looking back at her with a reproachful gaze.
Shen Qinghe felt like crying without tears. Was it wrong for her not to want her wrist held by him?
Before long, the three main characters were escorted over, all kneeling on the Execution Platform.
Dongfang Wuya’s seat was the head chair, while Sect Master Zuo sat at a lower position, so when the three protagonists knelt down, they were directly facing Dongfang Wuya, as well as Shen Qinghe standing by his side.
The most bizarre part was that Dongfang Wuya was still holding Shen Qinghe’s wrist.
Xiao Chen stared intently at Dongfang Wuya’s improper hand, a flash of anger briefly passed through his eyes.
Nan Sheng’s heart was unsettled.
Since she could remember, she had been irresistible among men, never failing to attract any man, even Xiao Chen. Although he was distant, he had never harshly rejected her.
Only Dongfang Wuya showed no hint of compassion toward such a beauty; in Juxiu Hall, he had even nearly taken her life.
That she was kneeling on the platform now was due to Dongfang Wuya’s doings.
She had thought of approaching Dongfang Wuya before, only to find Bixiao Tower surrounded by Barriers she couldn’t penetrate, making it as difficult as reaching the heavens to even see Dongfang Wuya, let alone attempt to seduce him.
Everyone said Dongfang Wuya was the unreachable flower of the cultivation world, yet it was this man who, for Shen Qinghe, called for agitation and fighting, now holding onto her wrist in front of so many.
It couldn’t be that Dongfang Wuya truly fancied Shen Qinghe.
Not to mention Nan Sheng, even Shen Qinghe herself couldn’t understand Dongfang Wuya’s actions.
She tried again to free herself from Dongfang Wuya’s grip, but Dongfang Wuya looked at her and said, “Stop it!”
Shen Qinghe: …
“Does standing make you uncomfortable?” Dongfang Wuya, meeting Shen Qinghe’s hesitant gaze, thought for a moment and then realized, “Forget it, sit with me.”
Shen Qinghe: ???
Sect Master Zuo, who was eavesdropping with pricked ears: ???
The three main characters kneeling on the Execution Platform: ???
“This, this is not proper,” Shen Qinghe was the first to come to her senses and promptly rejected Dongfang Wuya’s suggestion.
Dongfang Wuya, as if he hadn’t heard, shifted to make some space.
The Zen Chair was spacious enough, just barely accommodating two people.
Seeing that Shen Qinghe was still foolishly standing, he thought she appeared a bit dim-witted. He decisively took action, pulling her to sit beside him.
——
Dongfang Wuya, the domineering president: Qinghe is so in love with me, I’m sure she’s longing for my body.
Qinghe: ?????
