Chapter 47 -47: Falling for Qinghe?
Nan Sheng had not anticipated that the two men who loved her would react like this. She cried for a while, but saw no pity from the two men, so she simply looked up at Dongfang Wuya, seated at the head of the room, and Shen Qinghe, her eyes brimming with hatred.
The humiliation she suffered today was all thanks to Shen Qinghe, and one day she would definitely wash away today’s shame and flay Shen Qinghe alive.
Anything that Shen Qinghe cared about, she was determined to snatch away—she had to!
Dongfang Wuya, bored after watching the punishment, yawned. When his gaze met Nan Sheng’s face, he looked away in disgust and asked Shen Qinghe, “Aren’t you going to trample on them once more?”
Shen Qinghe, belatedly realizing her predicament, worried that she had offended several key figures at once, and that they certainly now hated her to the bone. She might feel satisfied now, but the future would be difficult.
She just couldn’t bring herself to feel happy.
Seeing Shen Qinghe standing motionlessly, Dongfang Wuya took her by the wrist and led her to the front of the execution platform, to have a clear view of the sorry state of these people.
“Do you find it pleasing to look at?” Dongfang Wuya asked Shen Qinghe, thinking she was like a simpleton.
Shen Qinghe forced a slight smile and silently nodded.
Ignoring what might come later, just the present spectacle alone brought her immense satisfaction.
These protagonists, who normally got whatever they wanted, now had a day of groveling at her feet.
“Using evil to control evil is the best method. From now on, whoever wrongs you, you return it to them twofold, do you understand?” Dongfang Wuya gently coaxed.
Shen Qinghe nodded blankly.
He, Dongfang Wuya, was powerful enough to do whatever he wanted.

With her current Foundation Establishment cultivation base, how could she fend off Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng, two cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage, at the same time?
Just like the time Yan Changsheng snatched the secret manual, he had knocked her down with a single move.
Simply because her cultivation base was too low, today Xiao Chen shattered her new sword moves with a single stroke, inflicting heavy damage on her.
In this Immortal Sect where the strong are revered, without sufficient strength, everything was just empty talk.
Seeing Shen Qinghe hang her head, Dongfang Wuya frowned, “Do you not agree with what I said?”
Shen Qinghe glanced at the few protagonists who were at death’s door and spoke the truth: “Uncle-Master is right. It’s just that my cultivation base is too low, I can’t act as I desire like Uncle-Master can.”
She too wished she could strike out as she pleased, but who could she actually defeat?
“Your cultivation base is indeed low,” said Dongfang Wuya, and as he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Shen Qinghe’s waist.
This time Shen Qinghe was not surprised. Enduring dizziness, she closed her eyes and let him whisk her away by sword flight. They quickly arrived at Bixiao Tower.
Upon entering Bixiao Tower, Dongfang Wuya left her behind and walked away. She took the opportunity to visit Elder Shen.
About half an hour later, Dongfang Wuya came back, dropping a red magic artifact, several bottles of elixirs, and a bunch of talismans in her lap.
“The magic artifact is the Red Lotus Shield Armor, which, like today’s scenario, can help you avoid Xiao Chen’s attacks. The elixirs are for healing and for assisting your cultivation, and these talismans include invisibility and shadow-retaining ones, among others. You should go back and carefully examine them,” Dongfang Wuya said, his gaze intently on Shen Qinghe, “Your life was saved by me, and without my permission, no one can kill you. Yet your cultivation is too weak. You must practice diligently; I can’t always appear in time like I did today.”
“I have been practicing diligently, thank you, Uncle-Master,” Shen Qinghe said with inward trepidation, “I know I lack talent, but I will cultivate more diligently from now on. I will become stronger and stronger!”
Dongfang Wuya nodded in approval, remembering her new sword technique and rarely complimented her, “Your new sword technique is good, it’s just that your cultivation base is lacking. As your cultivation improves, its power will increase dramatically.”
Shen Qinghe looked at Dongfang Wuya with burning eyes, “I will definitely cultivate diligently and not let down Uncle-Master’s expectations!”
Dongfang Wuya felt the girl’s gaze was too intense, and suddenly, he remembered the scene where she had stolen a kiss from him.
At the time, he hadn’t reacted, assuming the kiss was accidental, but given the extent of her admiration for him, it was very likely deliberate.
Thinking about that kiss in the Punishment Hall, he became somewhat distracted.
“Uncle-Master?”
Dongfang Wuya returned to his senses and briskly dismissed her, “Alright, go back, cultivate well, and do not indulge in romantic distractions.”
Shen Qinghe now realized that Dongfang Wuya was warning her because of the accidental kiss in the Punishment Hall, she promptly agreed, taking the many treasures she had gathered from Dongfang Wuya’s side back to the Simple Residence Courtyard.
Once Shen Qinghe had left, Bixiao Tower became quiet again.
Dongfang Wuya sat in a high loft reading a book, with Xiao Bai attending near him.
The master seemed no different than usual, but he noticed that the master hadn’t turned the page of his book and was occasionally touching his own face, a faint smile gracing his features.
If he remembered correctly, the cheek the master was touching was precisely where Fairy Qinghe had kissed him.
Could it be that the master had fallen for Fairy Qinghe?
The master had said that Fairy Qinghe was his person, a declaration he had personally confirmed.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhiyao had been waiting impatiently; upon her return, she pounced on Qinghe, “What did Mr. Wuya say to you? Did he fall for you? Do you know the whole sect is gossiping about you two having an affair?”
Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but feel amused and exasperated, “Elder sister, you’re overthinking it. Before I came back, Uncle-Master told me to focus on cultivating and not to be distracted by love affairs.”
Shen Zhiyao’s smile quickly faded, “Okay, I thought too much.”
She had actually thought Mr. Wuya had taken Qinghe to Bixiao Tower for a romantic encounter.
“Mr. Wuya gave me a lot of treasures, elder sister, can you help me figure out how to use these talismans?” Shen Qinghe took out the Red Lotus Shield Armor and also pulled out all the talismans.
Shen Zhiyao was surprised when she saw the Red Lotus Shield Armor, “Are you sure this is from Mr. Wuya?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
Shen Zhiyao looked at her naive little sister with complicated eyes; could this be that a fool has their own fortune?
“The problem is big. This is a magic artifact coveted by cultivators in the entire cultivation world. It’s powerful, and countless cultivators have died under its shield. It also has another significant function; it can transform into a flying ship capable of carrying hundreds of people. Of course, the cultivator controlling it must have a strong enough cultivation base. With your current cultivation level, you couldn’t even make it carry you for flight,” explained Shen Zhiyao, now starting to doubt again, “Are you sure Mr. Wuya doesn’t like you? This is a treasure that has been with him for many years; how could he have given it to you so nonchalantly?”
If he were already this generous when he didn’t favor Qinghe, what would Mr. Wuya give her if he truly fell for Qinghe one day, possibly his very life?
Shen Qinghe couldn’t smile anymore, “Is this thing that powerful?”
Should she really accept such a powerful artifact?
Shen Zhiyao, understanding Shen Qinghe’s nature best, took her by the shoulders and said, “Don’t feel pressured. With your current cultivation, and with what happened today, Nan Sheng will certainly hate you to death. Having the Red Lotus Shield Armor for protection is always better. Once you’ve improved your cultivation in the future, you can just return this treasure to Mr. Wuya.”
