Chapter 50 -50: Large Asura Field
Nan Sheng was enticed by Xiao Chen’s bad-boy demeanor, leaving her caught between longing and possession.

She had not fully obtained Xiao Chen, nor had she made him fall completely in love with her. How could she possibly bear to let go of the prize within her grasp?
Compared to Yan Changsheng, who would never leave her, she was more eager to conquer the bad boy, Xiao Chen.
“I can’t bear to leave Brother Xiao,” Nan Sheng said as she moved closer to Xiao Chen, subtly provoking the man.
Xiao Chen’s tone was cool as he responded, “Yan Changsheng would be heartbroken to see you so close to me; don’t you feel for him?”
It must be said that Nan Sheng was not only greedy but also ruthless.
Having Yan Changsheng who loved her was not enough; she also desired to conquer him. Nan Sheng, this kind of bad woman, actually quite suited his taste.
His gaze discreetly shifted to where Shen Qinghe was, and he remembered the scene where he had hurt her. Now, in Shen Qinghe’s eyes, he was probably as despicable as Yan Changsheng, wasn’t he?
The lecture today was given by Tongxuan Zhenjun, focusing on high-level Daoist cultivation techniques.
While many were not listening attentively, Shen Qinghe found the lecture fascinating. She felt that the high-level cultivation technique differed from the one described in her secret manual, yet it bore a certain ingenious similarity.
Practicing on the spot, as instructed by Tongxuan Zhenjun, and integrating the information from her secret manual, she found the spiritual energy circulating through her meridians made her feel light and almost capable of flight—more effective than practicing just from the manual alone.
This discovery both shocked and delighted her.
After all, the mental method taught today was meant for cultivators above the Golden Core Great Completion stage, and she was still in the Early Foundation Establishment Stage. Why was it applicable to her as well?
She wondered if it was because she had consumed many top-grade spirit pills, allowing her to practice high-level cultivation techniques despite her low cultivation base. Normally, the effects of one such spirit pill were substantial. When she had been injured a few days ago, Dongfang Wuya had her take four top-grade spirit pills at once, not only to mend her damaged meridians but also to enhance her cultivation base.
After the lesson, she had gained much.
As she was leaving the Juxiu Hall, still contemplating the cultivation method, Shen Zhiyao abruptly grabbed her. Only then did she notice that Xiao Chen, Yan Changsheng, and Nan Sheng were standing in a triangle, seemingly in a standoff—a large-scale Asura Field situation.
Around the main characters were quite a few people who were in no rush to leave, all curious to know whom Nan Sheng loved more.
Shen Qinghe had no interest in the emotional entanglements of the main characters. Having absorbed enough of their spiritual energy, she only wanted to leave this place of conflict as soon as possible.
Just when she and Shen Zhiyao were about to leave, Xiao Chen suddenly reached out, pulling her into their midst.
Shen Qinghe: ??
Shen Zhiyao was startled for a moment before reacting, “Xiao Chen, what are you doing dragging Qinghe into this?!”
“Qinghe is part of the game; she’s one of the main characters and has to be involved,” Xiao Chen said indifferently, his lips curving mischievously, as if he relished the chaos.
Shen Qinghe didn’t understand what was happening and stood there looking confused.
Nan Sheng felt annoyed at the mere sight of Shen Qinghe’s face, but she couldn’t show it.
Yan Changsheng was still clutching her wrist, obstinately saying, “Shengsheng, if you don’t leave with me today, I will never come looking for you again. This is the last time.”
What Nan Sheng saw was Xiao Chen holding Shen Qinghe’s arm, a sight too glaring for her. If she left with Yan Changsheng today, would Xiao Chen end up with Shen Qinghe?
Despite her efforts, she had not been able to make Xiao Chen fall in love with her. If she gave up now, she would just be making things easier for Shen Qinghe. How could she accept that?
Her mind whirled with thoughts, and ultimately she pushed Yan Changsheng away with determination, “Brother Changsheng, please go.”
Yan Changsheng loved her so much that all it would take was a beckoning from her, and he would return to her side. But Xiao Chen was not so easily swayed; she could only choose Xiao Chen at this moment.
The light in Yan Changsheng’s eyes dimmed, so his all-in gamble still wasn’t enough to make Nan Sheng look back.
At the root of it all, she simply didn’t love him enough; what mattered more to her was Xiao Chen.
Although he had known this fact for a while, it still hurt him deeply.
Yan Changsheng let go of his hold on Nan Sheng and walked out of the crowd in a disheveled state, staggering away.
Upon seeing Yan Changsheng’s disheveled figure, Shen Zhiyao added insult to injury, “Yan Changsheng, this is the result of you betraying Qinghe and injuring my father. You deserve to be abandoned by Nan Sheng, this heartless woman. This is karma!!”
Yan Changsheng’s steps faltered slightly, knowing Shen Zhiyao’s words were true.
He had done all sorts of despicable things for Nan Sheng, but in the end, he still couldn’t keep her love or her heart.
This was all his retribution!
Nan Sheng watched Yan Changsheng walk away without looking back, suddenly feeling a bit panicked.
She was too confident that Yan Changsheng would love her for a lifetime, but if he truly stopped loving her, what would she do then?
For a moment, she thought of chasing after him, but she held herself back. It was more important to deal with Shen Qinghe at the moment.
How would Shen Qinghe know that Nan Sheng considered her a love rival? She just felt it was inexplicable and wanted to shake off Xiao Chen’s hand, but Xiao Chen asked her, “You’re not thinking of chasing after Changsheng, are you?”
Following the mental method she had just mastered, Shen Qinghe circulated her energy and launched a palm strike at Xiao Chen’s right shoulder.
Xiao Chen, caught off guard, was hit squarely by Shen Qinghe and uncontrollably flew several feet away.
Fortunately, his quick reaction allowed him to stabilize his form and land steadily on the ground.
He watched Shen Qinghe walk away with Shen Zhiyao, his eyes growing darker.
“Brother Xiao, are you injured?” Nan Sheng’s voice snapped Xiao Chen out of his reverie.
Xiao Chen’s right shoulder was in pain, somewhat surprised by the power of Shen Qinghe’s palm strike. It was also a stroke of luck that Shen Qinghe’s cultivation base wasn’t very high, otherwise, that strike could have shattered his meridians.
It was entirely his own carelessness; he had no defenses against Shen Qinghe, which was why he had been struck.
“I’m alright.” Xiao Chen suddenly laughed in a deep voice.
Seeing him laugh all of a sudden, Nan Sheng was puzzled, “Brother Xiao, what are you laughing at?”
Xiao Chen didn’t know what he was laughing at either. He just felt pleased, and perhaps this pleasure came from the palm strike he had received from Shen Qinghe.
After leaving Juxiu Hall, Yan Changsheng suddenly felt very lost.
Ever since meeting Nan Sheng, he had focused all his attention on her. All his future plans involved Nan Sheng. He broke ties with Qinghe for Nan Sheng and even stole Qinghe’s secret manual for her. Despite all this, he still couldn’t keep Nan Sheng.
He left Sky Pole Sect and went to a tavern at the foot of the mountain to drown his sorrows.
By the time the tavern closed, he was kicked out by the owner, and he stumbled back to Sky Pole Sect with a jug of wine in his hands.
Shen Qinghe was practicing swordplay with Shen Zhiyao in the courtyard. The two sisters were equal in swordsmanship, but since Shen Zhiyao had a higher cultivation base, she did not dare to use her full strength.
To her surprise, despite Qinghe having a lower cultivation base, she did not falter in their sparring, which ignited Shen Zhiyao’s fighting spirit.
The sisters grew more enthusiastic as they sparred. Just then, a sound of something heavy falling came from outside.
They both sheathed their swords and stepped out of the courtyard, only to be surprised to see Yan Changsheng lying on the ground when their vision cleared.
