Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Which of Us Would You Choose? Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Which of Us Would You Choose? Xiao Chen, however, seed oblivious to the crowd’s odd looks and directly said to Shen Qinghe, “When we enter the secret realm later, stick with .”
Shen Qinghe was baffled and tried to pull away from Xiao Chen’s grip, “I ca here with my uncle, why should I follow Big Senior Brother?”
Would Nan Sheng be happy if she entered the secret realm with Xiao Chen?
Xiao Chen, however, held firmly onto Shen Qinghe’s arm, unwilling to let go, “n and won should not be so familiar; what does it look like for you to be with Mr. Wuya?!”
Hadn’t Dongfang Wuya been taking liberties with her all this ti?
This foolish woman still worshipped Dongfang Wuya like a deity, her mind was closed off.
Dongfang Wuya did not want to start a fight in front of the Outer Sect People, but he found Xiao Chen extrely displeasing.
He grabbed Xiao Chen’s inappropriate hand and kept applying force.
To outsiders, nothing seed amiss, but Xiao Chen could feel as if his hand were about to break. The pain caused his grip to loosen, and Shen Qinghe took the opportunity to break free from his control.
Yan Changsheng, seeing this, pulled Xiao Chen aside and coldly questioned, “What exactly does Big Senior Brother intend to do?”
Why was he tugging at Qinghe?
Xiao Chen’s fiancée was clearly Nan Sheng, yet he relentlessly pursued Qinghe, and the way he lectured Qinghe just now was also quite inappropriate, as if Xiao Chen were fighting with jealousy.
The whole scene was indeed very odd.
“Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for Qinghe to be with Dongfang Wuya? Qinghe isn’t married yet, but she’s been held in Dongfang Wuya’s arms. What does that look like? If Master wakes up and finds that soone has taken advantage of Qinghe, who knows what he will think,” Xiao Chen replied without a trace of sha.
Yan Changsheng still felt Xiao Chen’s actions were inappropriate and said sternly, “Shengsheng is Big Senior Brother’s fiancée, it’s not Big Brother’s place to worry about how Qinghe behaves. Seeing you defend Qinghe at every turn, how sad must Shengsheng feel?”
Although he also found it inappropriate that Dongfang Wuya would often hold Qinghe, since when was it Xiao Chen’s place to intervene?
He intended to protect Qinghe in the secret realm because he felt guilty towards Master and his daughter and was afraid Qinghe would suffer.
Now, Xiao Chen too found a bit of his rationality returning.
He had also seen Dongfang Wuya holding Shen Qinghe and, without thinking, chased after them. Reminded by Yan Changsheng, he then rembered his initial determination to distance himself from Shen Qinghe.
He had repeatedly told himself Shen Qinghe was of no consequence, so why had he impulsively pursued her?
“Then keep a close eye, do not let Dongfang Wuya take liberties with Qinghe. No matter what, Master has been good to us, and since Qinghe is inexperienced in the ways of the world, we cannot let Dongfang Wuya take advantage of her without her realizing it,” Xiao Chen said before walking away.
Xiao Chen’s words struck a chord with Yan Changsheng.
Master had treated him with imnse kindness, yet he betrayed that grace and hard the two people who had been kindest to him in the past. The past could not be undone, and he only hoped to be able to protect Qinghe in the future.
When Nan Sheng arrived at the entrance of the Red Moon Secret Realm, she glared at Xiao Chen with grievance, “Brother Xiao, why didn’t you wait for ?”
Fortunately, when she arrived, Xiao Chen was alone, not interacting with Shen Qinghe, so it may not be as she feared.
“I had so words with Changsheng, so I went ahead first,” Xiao Chen stepped forward, embracing Nan Sheng, “It’s my fault, I should have waited for you.”
His voice was tender, but his eyes lacked any trace of affection—in vain, for Nan Sheng could not see it.
The cultivators from Shenwu Sect and Qianlong Pavilion were all secretly observing Nan Sheng.
Perhaps because first impressions are enduring, many people think that Nan Sheng, the so-called number one beauty of the Sky Pole Sect, actually isn’t as beautiful as Shen Qinghe.
Beauty like Shen Qinghe’s is truly rare—clean and pretty, with skin as clear as ice and bones as delicate as jade, unforgettable at first sight.
Nan Sheng is also very beautiful, with a kind of dainty and timid loveliness that endears her to others, but such a beauty is not uncommon, nor is it unique.
Perhaps because they saw Shen Qinghe first, seeing Nan Sheng now failed to astonish them.
Many cultivators from the Shenwu Sect developed a liking for Shen Qinghe the mont they saw her, but dared not approach her because Dongfang Wuya stood by her side, keeping everyone at bay.
Moreover, since Nan Sheng was already spoken for, the attention of the young talents naturally shifted more towards Shen Qinghe.
But because the purpose of this trip was to enter the Red Moon Secret Realm for trials and seek good fortune, romantic interests took a backseat, and these male cultivators had kept their distance from Shen Qinghe.
Soon, Shen Zhiyao also arrived at the outskirts of the secret realm. Seeing Dongfang Wuya close to Qinghe, she rushed forward to pull Shen Qinghe to her side, “Qinghe, after the secret realm opens, stick with .”
“But I am Mr. Wuya’s pageservant,” Shen Qinghe subconsciously looked in Dongfang Wuya’s direction.
She really couldn’t just use Mr. Wuya and then discard him, could she? That would be too despicable.
“Don’t forget who he is. Can you afford to provoke soone like him?” Shen Zhiyao didn’t dare speak too plainly, but she believed that Qinghe would understand the implications of her words.
Even if Mr. Wuya was one of the male leads who would turn dark later on, she was worried that Qinghe getting too close to him would be influenced by his change.
Shen Qinghe naturally understood the deeper aning in Shen Zhiyao’s words, but without Dongfang Wuya, it was impossible for her to enter the Red Moon Secret Realm.
She did not know what the future held, but so far, Dongfang Wuya had helped her at her lowest points. If she turned her back on him now, it would go against her principles.
“Elder sister, I have to ask Mr. Wuya,” Shen Qinghe replied with certainty.
Shen Zhiyao wanted to persuade her further, but Shen Qinghe smiled and replied, “Without Mr. Wuya, I wouldn’t have the chance to co to the secret realm for the trials. Since I am Mr. Wuya’s pageservant, I cannot leave his side when he needs .”
After thinking it through, Shen Zhiyao could only compromise, “Then I’ll join you.”
Shen Qinghe had no objections to that, her only worry being that Dongfang Wuya might not be pleased.
She went back to Dongfang Wuya and spoke to him about it. Dongfang Wuya replied indifferently, “If you had to choose between and Shen Zhiyao, who would you pick?”
Shen Qinghe was at a loss for words for a mont.
Of course, she hoped to stay by Shen Zhiyao’s side, especially since Nan Sheng was like a ticking ti bomb, and she was worried that Nan Sheng would take action against a lone Shen Zhiyao.
Seeing that Shen Qinghe remained silent, Dongfang Wuya knew her answer and felt a surge of dissatisfaction. “Hasn’t this Uncle been good to you?”
He wasn’t fooled; he had overheard the conversation between the sisters. Shen Zhiyao was indeed malicious, stirring up trouble between him and Shen Qinghe behind his back.
“Uncle has been very good to , but I am also concerned about my elder sister,” Shen Qinghe murmured.
“If it’s a trial, then you have to be ready to face risks. You, a re Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivator, aren’t worried for your own safety, but for others?” Dongfang Wuya pulled Shen Qinghe towards him, “I brought you here. You must stay by my side!”
Shen Zhiyao, eavesdropping from a distance, secretly scorned Dongfang Wuya for being domineering.
It seed that the ti for Dongfang Wuya’s dark transformation had not yet co, and having Dongfang Wuya by Qinghe’s side might actually be beneficial for her.
Realizing this, she felt relieved.
