Chapter 58 -58: You Must Take Responsibility for This Prince
Sect Master Zuo had spoken, and his word was final. Even if Nan Sheng really didn’t want Shen Qinghe to enter the Red Moon Secret Realm, there was no way to change this outcome.
Shen Qinghe was stunned by the pie that had fallen from the sky, standing there dumbfounded with complex feelings.
On the other hand, Shen Zhiyao was so excited she didn’t care about the many people present, circling around Shen Qinghe. The more she looked, the more she felt her precious younger sister had unlimited potential and might become an impressive figure in the future.
“Boo hoo, Qinghe, you are too amazing!” Shen Zhiyao hugged Shen Qinghe excitedly.
Shen Qinghe finally snapped out of it and found it amusing, “Elder sister, where is this coming from?”
The one who was amazing was Dongfang Wuya. It was Dongfang Wuya who gave her the opportunity to enter the secret realm. Little did she know why Dongfang Wuya suddenly decided to take her into the secret realm; she had heard that Dongfang Wuya was not interested in secret realms and hadn’t entered one for cultivation for many years.
“You managed to make Mr. Wuya take you into the secret realm specially. Isn’t that amazing?” Shen Zhiyao was extremely excited.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Mr. Wuya loved Qinghe without realizing it, otherwise why go to such great lengths to take Qinghe into the Red Moon Secret Realm for cultivation?
“Elder sister, that’s not right. Mr. Wuya just happened to need a pageservant, and I met his requirements, which is why I got this opportunity,” Shen Qinghe thought Shen Zhiyao was reading too much into it.
Shen Zhiyao responded with a ‘hehe’ and planned to go back to Simple Residence Courtyard to talk things over with her properly.
At that moment, Dongfang Wuya approached Shen Qinghe, who immediately stood up straight, almost bowing to him, “Thank you, Uncle-Master, for giving me this opportunity for trials. I will definitely grasp it well and not let you down.”
With her qualifications, she would not have been able to enter the Red Moon Secret Realm at all, but Mr. Wuya had made an exception for her, which allowed her this cultivation experience.
“I am entrusting my personal safety into your hands, and you indeed need to take this seriously. Shen Qinghe, if anything happens to my body, you will have to take responsibility,” Dongfang Wuya found Shen Qinghe’s earnest appearance very pleasing and pinched her tender cheeks.
Because the girl’s cheeks felt so good, smooth and creamy, he pinched them a few more times before strolling away with an elegant gait.
Only Shen Qinghe was left standing there in a daze, along with a crowd of onlookers enjoying the spectacle, and even some who took out their Shadow Capturing Talismans to capture the moment.
Nan Sheng couldn’t comprehend this scene, “Why is Mr. Wuya so good to Qinghe?”
Without Dongfang Wuya, how could Shen Qinghe have had the opportunity to enter the Red Moon Secret Realm for cultivation?
“Are you jealous?” Xiao Chen saw through Nan Sheng’s thoughts at a glance.
It must be that Nan Sheng was jealous that Qinghe had caught the attention of Dongfang Wuya, wasn’t it?
Nan Sheng considered herself unbeatable among men, yet while Dongfang Wuya disregarded her, he was so good to Qinghe, creating a feeling of disparity in Nan Sheng’s heart.
“What do I have to be jealous of?” Nan Sheng retorted to Xiao Chen with a slight pout, “Having such a wonderful Brother Xiao, how could I possibly be jealous of Qinghe?”
“That’s what you say. When we return from the trials, we shall marry,” Xiao Chen responded indifferently.
His thoughts were somewhat sluggish, his mind kept flashing back to the scene of Dongfang Wuya pinching Shen Qinghe’s face.
He knew he was jealous, even though he had chosen Nan Sheng, even though he hadn’t had any contact with Shen Qinghe for half a year, that woman could still easily affect his emotions, which was not a good sign.
“Alright…” Nan Sheng had just begun to speak when she saw Yan Changsheng walking past her.
She felt choked up for a moment, yet could only watch helplessly as Yan Changsheng grew further and further away.
Lately, Yan Changsheng had not come to see her, and every encounter was cold and indifferent, as if she were just an insignificant person.
Because Yan Changsheng once loved her deeply and granted her every wish, facing such an indifferent Yan Changsheng now made her very uncomfortable.
After returning to the Simple Residence Courtyard, the Shen sisters were still very excited.
Shen Qinghe felt as if she were walking on clouds, the sensation so surreal that her mind was in a muddle.
Overjoyed, Shen Zhiyao practiced her swordsmanship for a while before returning to Shen Qinghe and saying, “Although you can enter the secret realm for trials this time, you must still be careful of Nan Sheng scheming behind your back.”
She mustn’t get too carried away with pride; Nan Sheng was not a person to be trifled with.
Shen Qinghe blinked and took a deep breath, “Mhm, I will be careful. Elder sister, will you come with me?”
“I would love to, but I’m afraid Mr. Wuya won’t agree,” Shen Zhiyao said, then shook her head, “Mr. Wuya has always been a loner; how could he possibly allow me to accompany you?”

Thinking back on her last visit to implore Dongfang Wuya, she was somewhat puzzled if it was because she beseeched Mr. Wuya that he made a special trip to the Red Moon Secret Realm for Qinghe.
At that time, Dongfang Wuya had dismissed her, but he also did not reject her request; she thought her effort had been in vain…
“In any case, elder sister must also be wary of Nan Sheng, and not let her use you easily,” Shen Qinghe cautioned.
Shen Zhiyao nodded repeatedly, “Qinghe, do you feel like Mr. Wuya treats you especially well?”
Shen Qinghe shared the sentiment, “Apart from father and elder sister, Mr. Wuya is the kindest to me. Perhaps it’s because he saved my life that he treats me so well?”
Shen Zhiyao spoke excitedly, “I have a premonition that you will gain something from these trials—you might even have a breakthrough if your luck is good.”
Shen Qinghe thought of the Snow Bone Grass.
Before today, she did not dare dream about such a thing, but if she had the chance to enter the secret realm, then she must try to see if she could obtain the Snow Bone Grass.
She sat down with Shen Zhiyao and asked in a low voice, “Elder sister, do you know about the Snow Bone Grass?”
Shen Zhiyao nodded in response, “Of course, it’s the Immortal Herb that all cultivators wish to obtain. Why do you suddenly ask about it?”
Shen Qinghe replied, “I heard that there is a plant of Snow Bone Grass in the Red Moon Secret Realm. If I have the chance to obtain it, it would be beneficial for improving my cultivation base…”
Shen Zhiyao suddenly interrupted Shen Qinghe, “Where did you hear that the Red Moon Secret Realm has Snow Bone Grass? I’ve never heard anyone mention this before?”
Shen Qinghe fell silent for a long time, wondering whether she should tell Shen Zhiyao that their world was in fact a book.
Seeing Shen Qinghe’s serious expression, Shen Zhiyao asked, “Is this about some major occurrence that I am not aware of?”
Shen Qinghe looked steadily at Shen Zhiyao and finally made up her mind, “What I am about to tell you, elder sister, you must promise it won’t leave this room. Can you do that?”
Shen Zhiyao sat up straight, her spine rigid, “Even if I die, I will not speak of it. Speak your mind at ease.”
Only then did Shen Qinghe reveal that their world was actually a book, speaking earnestly, fearing that Shen Zhiyao would not believe her.
But after listening, Shen Zhiyao was confused, “Are you certain that we are living in a world that is a book? That I, because I fancied Xiao Chen, later died a tragic death?”
She did not feel that she liked Xiao Chen that much; the idea of her living and dying over a man who did not love her back seemed unrealistic to her.
