Was it you that night?-Chapter 96 - 94 Rebirth

Chapter 96 -94: Rebirth
Hearing the news, Dongfang Wuya immediately stood up. “This lord will take a look!”
Xiao Bai was not surprised by his master’s reaction. “Today is the joyous day of Fairy Qinghe. You should go and offer congratulations, but it seems inappropriate to go empty-handed.”
Dongfang Wuya felt this was reasonable, and he turned back to find a Spiritual Treasure to give to Shen Qinghe. However, after searching for a while, he suddenly remembered that just before, he had decided to sever ties with Shen Qinghe and to lessen their interactions in the future.
How could he be so inconsistent, going back on his word?
“Master, this Magic Artifact is suitable for Fairy Qinghe.” Xiao Bai, also helping in searching for a gift, did not notice the anomaly in Dongfang Wuya.
Waiting for a response and seeing none, he turned to find his master standing in front of the window with an indifferent expression, like a silent and quiet tree.
The master’s figure was half in the sunset, half concealed in the dim shadows, in the half-light and half-dark, exuding an indescribable sense of desolate melancholy.
“Master?” Xiao Bai suddenly felt a bit sad.

His master had been alone for so many years and had finally made a friend he did not dislike. This should have been a good thing. Was the master thinking of distancing himself from Fairy Qinghe now?
Without turning his head, Dongfang Wuya said, “Just find any gift and send it to Simple Residence Courtyard, I will not go.”
Xiao Bai thought it was such a shame for his master to not personally visit on such an auspicious day.
“Forget it, you needn’t go either,” said Dongfang Wuya again.
If he was determined to distance himself, it should be decisive, without dragging his feet.
Just then, there was another unusual event within the Sky Pole Sect. Xiao Bai, greatly startled, ran out of Bixiao Tower to look and discovered that Shen Qinghe was still advancing in level.
He returned joyfully to Dongfang Wuya to report the matter, who, apart from his initial shock, was now very calm.
“She always said she was diligently cultivating, and I did not quite believe her before. The facts have proven that she was not lying; she indeed has been cultivating hard. Now with her consecutive advancements, it’s a buildup of potential being unleashed. I am happy for her too,” Dongfang Wuya had barely finished speaking when in the direction of Simple Residence Courtyard, lightning tribulation was drawn forth.
Under normal circumstances, Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage rarely encounter lightning tribulation when entering the Golden Core Stage. Shen Qinghe’s situation was too exceptional, cultivating without a Spirit Root was an act against heaven. Later, she took the Snow Bone Grass, which is a rare Immortal Herb in the world, advancing continuously, violating the normal steps of cultivation, which would naturally draw forth lightning tribulation.
Xiao Bai stood beside Dongfang Wuya, watching with a frown, “The thunder tribulation today is extraordinary; I’m afraid even the lightning faced by Golden Core cultivators isn’t as formidable. Can Fairy Qinghe withstand it?”
“If she could emerge victorious from the Mythical Beast Illusion Realm, of course, she can handle a mere lightning tribulation!” Dongfang Wuya confidently believed in Shen Qinghe’s abilities.
As for Shen Qinghe herself, after invoking the lightning tribulation, there was a moment of panic. Later, she took out the Red Lotus Shield Armor, and to her amazement, found the artifact so powerful that it could help her withstand the lightning tribulation.
Yan Changsheng also wanted to help Shen Qinghe through the lightning tribulation but found himself useless in this situation.
When Shen Qinghe emerged smoothly from the lightning tribulation, stepping out of the room, she had been thoroughly transformed.
Yan Changsheng’s eyes were fixed on Shen Qinghe at that moment.
The girl before him was dressed in a white Disciple’s Clothing, her hair loosely tied into a bun, held by only a sandalwood hairpin, without any other adornment.
Her features were delicate, her skin was fairer than snow, her presence divine and elegant.
While she still had the same face, she seemed to be a different person.
On closer inspection, he realized that there were indeed some changes. The birthmark between her brows had become smaller and turned a pinkish hue, having moved to her forehead, now resembling the tender sprouts of two heaving rice seedlings, as if a flower dian had been painted on an ancient lady from a classical painting.
But her birthmark was not a lifeless flower dian; if you looked carefully, you could see what seemed to be snowflakes continuously falling upon the birthmark on her forehead.
Yan Changsheng watched the unfamiliar yet familiar girl before him, his heartbeat seemingly slowing by a beat.
While he was lost in his thoughts, Shen Zhiyao had already excitedly pounced toward Shen Qinghe, pulling her over for a closer look, and in her excitement, she forcefully pinched Qinghe’s arm.
Eventually, she too saw the magical birthmark on her sister’s forehead, her heartbeat racing in an unseemly manner, “Qinghe, how is your birthmark so magical? It’s clearly red, but when you look closely, it seems like it’s snowing within. It’s so beautiful and so miraculous.”
Shen Qinghe, puzzled, reached for the birthmark on her forehead, finding that it indeed had shifted position, “Really?”
Shen Zhiyao specifically pulled out a mirror from her Qiankun Bag for Shen Qinghe, “Have a look for yourself.”
Shen Qinghe studied her reflection intently and indeed, just as her elder sister had said, her birthmark seemed to have come to life, “It might be because I consumed the Snow Bone Grass.”
Speaking of the Snow Bone Grass, Yan Changsheng’s eyebrows and eyes darkened.
Even though he was deliberately trying not to think about what happened in Snow Bone City and kept telling himself it was just an Illusory Realm, he had still hurt Qinghe once again for Nan Sheng’s sake within that realm; this was an undeniable fact.
Whether in reality or in the Illusory Realm, he had hurt Qinghe time and time again for Nan Sheng.
Under such circumstances, how could Qinghe possibly forgive him?
As he was distracted, Qinghe approached him and said, “During my seclusion, Second Senior Brother has been acting as my protector all along. Thank you, Second Senior Brother.”
She indeed should thank Yan Changsheng, for it was with him guarding outside the Simple Residence Courtyard that she was able to continuously draw in Spiritual Energy and have such a smooth breakthrough.
Yan Changsheng had made no small contribution.
When Yan Changsheng heard her addressing him repeatedly as “Second Senior Brother,” he understood that she was maintaining her distance from him.
In her heart now, he was no longer the childhood friend with whom she grew up but simply a fellow disciple.
Sect disciples who were standing not far away had seen Shen Qinghe successfully pass the tribulation of lightning and came one after the other to Simple Residence Courtyard to offer congratulations.
For a while, the Simple Residence Courtyard was overcrowded with people.
When everyone could clearly see Shen Qinghe’s stunningly beautiful face, the whispers spread like wildfire.
Shu Xiu, full of curiosity, drew closer and finally saw Qinghe’s extraordinary birthmark, emitting a high-pitched squeal of delight like a groundhog, “Qinghe, you’re so beautiful!”
How could someone be so beautiful, and how could a birthmark be so enchanting? A birthmark is usually lifeless, but Qinghe’s had sprung to life after her breakthrough.
Sect Master Zuo at first remained aloof, but eventually, unable to contain his curiosity, he also came closer to take a detailed look at the birthmark on Qinghe’s forehead.
After looking carefully, he too became excited, repeatedly exclaiming, “Good, good, good!!”
Just days before, he had been deeply shaken by the fall of Nan Sheng, a genius girl, because the news of her downfall had not only spread throughout Sky Pole Sect but was also now known across the entire cultivation world, casting a shadow over the reputation of Sky Pole Sect.
And at this crucial moment, Sky Pole Sect had given birth to a new cultivation genius, one even more legendary than Nan Sheng.
Qinghe had transformed from a girl deemed useless into a genius girl, becoming an exemplary case of an underdog’s ascension. Once he had someone spread this news properly, he would make sure everyone knew that the feng shui of Sky Pole Sect was unlike any other Immortal Sect.
He intended to cultivate Qinghe’s newfound prominence as a living emblem, in order to recruit more and better cultivation disciples for Sky Pole Sect.
