Was it you that night?-Chapter 87 - 85 Undying Lust
Chapter 87: Chapter 85: Undying Lust
Chapter 87 -85: Undying Lust
Despite her dissatisfaction and numerous doubts, Nan Sheng could only force herself to remain calm.
At worst, upon returning to the Sky Pole Sect, she would inquire carefully about what had happened.
Once all the remaining disciples of the Sky Pole Sect had gathered, Tongxuan Zhenjun gave the order, and all the disciples of the Sky Pole Sect returned together to their sect.
Everyone, travel-worn, returned to the Sky Pole Sect, all wanting to know whether Shen Qinghe was alive or dead.
Of course, Nan Sheng hoped that Shen Qinghe had no chance of survival; otherwise, her crime of harming a fellow disciple would be exposed to everyone.
Moreover, with the current situation being so complex and confusing, she wasn’t even sure if Yan Changsheng was still the same man who had loved her unconditionally.
In the past, Yan Changsheng was willing to do anything for her, including stealing Shen Qinghe’s Secret Manual for her benefit.
But she had also heard that during this trip to the Abyssal Secret Realm, Yan Changsheng had faced dangers several times, and each time it was Shen Qinghe who came to his rescue; Shen Qinghe had even almost lost her own life because of him.
She knew that Yan Changsheng was a man of deep emotions; if this time, he sided with Shen Qinghe and testified for her, Nan Sheng’s crime of harming a fellow disciple would certainly not be concealed.
Thinking about the events that occurred in the secret realm, Nan Sheng felt a bit panicked and decided to find Yan Changsheng to help her once more.
When she arrived at Shaonian Tower, she found out that Yan Changsheng was not there and after asking around, learned that he was outside of Bixiao Tower at the moment.
She hurried to Bixiao Tower and discovered that not only was Yan Changsheng there, but so was Xiao Chen.
Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen, hearing Nan Sheng’s footsteps, turned around simultaneously; both of their gazes were cold when looking at her.
Nan Sheng had never seen such a strange, icy look in Yan Changsheng’s eyes before.
Before, when he looked at her, his eyes were filled with love and tenderness, sometimes it seemed as though the love was about to overflow; yet now, this man who once loved her like his own life, looked at her as if she were a stranger.
The feelings in her heart were indescribably complex.
“Brother Changsheng, I have something to discuss with you; may I have a word in private?” Nan Sheng lowered her stance.
Yan Changsheng, looking at Bixiao Tower, replied indifferently, “Whatever I had to say, I have already said. There is nothing I want to discuss with you now.”
“I really need to discuss something important with Brother Changsheng; it won’t take too much of your time.” Nan Sheng tugged at Yan Changsheng’s sleeve, her eyes shimmering with tears, “Please, Brother Changsheng.”
Before, whenever Nan Sheng cried, Yan Changsheng would be thrown into disarray. But now, seeing her cry, he felt only annoyance.
He thought that his feelings for this woman had truly passed.
He withdrew his sleeve: “If you have something to say, just speak your mind. There’s no need to avoid Big Senior Brother; after all, you and Big Senior Brother are betrothed, and there’s nothing he shouldn’t hear.”
Nan Sheng glanced subconsciously at Xiao Chen, who was looking steadily in the direction of Bixiao Tower, seemingly unconcerned with what she had to say to Yan Changsheng.

“In the secret realm, I was bewitched, my mind was controlled by someone, I did something foolish, Brother Changsheng, I… I didn’t do it on purpose…”
Yan Changsheng suddenly turned to Nan Sheng, his lips curling in a sarcastic smile: “While Qinghe’s life and death are uncertain, you still have the heart to vindicate yourself. I once thought you had a kind heart, but now I realize that I misjudged you.”
Nan Sheng had ingratiated herself with Xiao Chen; the reason she approached him directly was nothing more than fear that her crime against Qinghe would be revealed by him.
How could he have ever mistaken her for someone beautiful with a kind heart?
In the secret realm, Nan Sheng tried to kill Qinghe right before his eyes. She was clearly a woman with a venomous heart!
Nan Sheng hadn’t expected Yan Changsheng to mock her like this. She incredulously said, “Brother Changsheng was never so cold to me before! If it wasn’t for Brother Changsheng, how could I ever grow to hate Sister Qinghe more and more…”
“Don’t call her ‘Sister,’ she has never been your sister. You cozying up to her now doesn’t change the fact that you wanted to kill her in the secret realm!” Yan Changsheng interrupted Nan Sheng’s endless chatter, “Go away, I don’t want to see you right now!”
Nan Sheng still wanted to speak, but Xiao Chen was also impatient, “Shengsheng, you should leave for now. We are all waiting for news about Qinghe. Your making a scene here is futile, and if anything happens to Qinghe, you’ll bear the sin of killing a fellow disciple.”
Nan Sheng looked at Xiao Chen incredulously, “Brother Xiao, you’re not on my side either?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes suddenly sharpened, “You’ve now harmed a fellow disciple, a living, breathing person’s life, and yet you still don’t realize your mistake to this very moment. Who do you think you are? To so casually decide the life or death of a cultivator!? Nan Sheng, I thought you were bad before, but I never imagined you could be this despicable!”
Nan Sheng’s face turned deathly pale. She wanted to argue that she wasn’t as he described, but disdain that could not be hidden was apparent in Xiao Chen’s eyes as he looked at her.
She stepped back and shouted at Xiao Chen, “Brother Xiao, you will regret treating me this way today…”
Xiao Chen sneered, “I’m not Changsheng. Your calculated retreats can’t threaten me. I know plenty of cultivators in the Sky Pole Sect admire you. If you think they are better than me, I won’t keep you.”
Tears streamed down Nan Sheng’s face. So, even Xiao Chen didn’t want her anymore?
She turned to look at Yan Changsheng, hoping to see even a hint of reluctance in him, but Changsheng was staring at Bixiao Tower, perhaps because Shen Qinghe was in there?
She walked away stumbling, not understanding how things had come to this.
Ever since joining the Sky Pole Sect, she was used to men doting on her, each of them protective, especially these exceptional and talented individuals?
Yet now it seemed like they were all disgusted with her, not even willing to spare her an extra glance.
She couldn’t understand why things had turned out this way…
Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng didn’t care about Nan Sheng’s departure; they were fixated on Bixiao Tower, eager to know how Shen Qinghe was.
However, since they had returned to the sect, they had been waiting outside for over half a month with no sign of activity.
The barrier of Bixiao Tower was set by Dongfang Wuya, leaving them no means to enter the building to check for themselves.
Perhaps because of the commotion caused by Nan Sheng, Xiao Chen grew anxious and asked loudly, “How is Qinghe doing? Can Mr. Wuya give us an update?”
Dongfang Wuya had long since witnessed the drama outside Bixiao Tower. Every now and then, he glanced at the young girl sitting beside Shen Zhuo, noting inwardly her ability to remain composed.
Those two had been waiting outside for half a month, yet Shen Qinghe seemed completely indifferent.
He stood up and went to Shen Qinghe’s side, “Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen are outside. Aren’t you going to go out and assure them you are safe?”
Ever since he brought her back to Bixiao Tower on the first day, she had been revived. Yet she was not in a hurry to leave, claiming that she wanted to take care of Shen Zhuo for some days after her brush with death, to fulfill her filial duties.
But he felt that this girl was most likely after his body. Probably tasting success in the Abyssal Secret Realm of Snow Bone City had left her unsatisfied, which was why she lingered in Bixiao Tower and was reluctant to leave.
He remembered that she had just been revived and didn’t have the heart to drive her away, but he was always on guard in case she suddenly made a move on him.
