Chapter 28 -28: Nan Sheng Challenges Qinghe

Xiao Chen chuckled lightly, his intention unclear.

As soon as Shen Qinghe sat down, he caught a whiff of that light, grassy scent on her that stirred up his lust. Although he was reluctant to admit it, this woman, Shen Qinghe, could easily provoke his desires.

This was not a good sign.

At first, he was very resistant, but now he was thinking that perhaps once he had Shen Qinghe’s body, he would stop obsessing over her.

Nan Sheng was very close to Xiao Chen and naturally noticed his distraction.

Before Shen Qinghe showed up, Xiao Chen seemed indifferent, not giving Nan Sheng any positive response, no matter how close she got or what she said to him.

After Shen Qinghe sat down, Xiao Chen’s gaze kept falling on her. Nan Sheng knew that was the look of a man interested in a woman.

In the past, wherever she went, men’s gazes followed, making other women feel invisible.

But no matter how Nan Sheng flirted with Xiao Chen today, he seemed uninterested. What’s more, his interest in Shen Qinghe seemed greater than his interest in her.

How could that be possible?

She was both Heaven’s Chosen and the Girl of Destiny. Whether it was an immortal fate or attracting men, no one could surpass her, especially not a defeated opponent like Shen Qinghe.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. She decisively hooked her arm through Xiao Chen’s, pressing her body close to his: “I heard that today my Master will teach swordsmanship. Brother Xiao, your swordsmanship is superb, could you teach me a few moves first?”

Xiao Chen, already stirred up by Shen Qinghe, felt his breathing grow heavier as Nan Sheng rubbed against him in this way.

He knew that Nan Sheng and Yan Changsheng were already together, with a close relationship. He could even spot the ambiguous marks on Nan Sheng’s neck if he just looked down.

He really didn’t understand why Nan Sheng, after being with Yan Changsheng, still came to seduce him, nor did he understand why he felt lustful thoughts solely for Shen Qinghe.

He was about to push Nan Sheng away when he looked up and saw Yan Changsheng approaching.

Shen Zhiyao had been observing the drama from the sidelines, and she whispered to Shen Qinghe with disdain: “How can a woman be so shameless? Even with Yan Changsheng, she still publicly flirts with Big Senior Brother.”

As cultivators had good hearing and everyone had seen Nan Sheng’s intimacy with Xiao Chen, coupled with Shen Zhiyao’s not-so-quiet voice, an array of peculiar glances fell upon Nan Sheng.

Most female cultivators shared Shen Zhiyao’s opinion, but male cultivators were different; they all wished to be Nan Sheng’s guest behind the curtain, pitying that Nan Sheng did not fancy them. If only they had the fortune of Xiao Chen.

Shen Qinghe, not wanting to attract trouble, coughed lightly: “Elder sister, let’s focus on the lesson.”

“Hasn’t Master Tian Yan arrived yet?”

Shen Zhiyao glanced at Yan Changsheng, whose face was darkening, and suddenly asked with a smile: “Second Senior Brother, did you break up with Miss Nan? I just saw Miss Nan almost sitting on Big Senior Brother’s lap…”

Nan Sheng’s face turned pale, and tears quickly began to fill her eyes: “What nonsense are you spouting?”

“Maybe I saw wrong. Ah, it seemed like Miss Nan’s chest brushed against Big Senior Brother, but surely it wasn’t intentional, it was by design, right?” Shen Zhiyao added another jab with a smile.

Shen Qinghe tugged hard at Shen Zhiyao’s sleeve, hoping she wouldn’t provoke the main characters without reason, as these were individuals beyond their capability to contend with.

Nan Sheng’s face became even uglier as she suddenly stood up, her voice trembling slightly, “You, you’re slandering me!”

“It’s not just me who saw it, didn’t everyone see it? Right, why don’t we let Big Senior Brother himself talk about his feelings, how does it feel to encroach on your junior brother’s woman?” Shen Zhiyao maliciously fanned the flames of conflict again.

Shen Qinghe felt a headache coming on, she finally understood why Shen Zhiyao met such a tragic end in the book, it was because she couldn’t tolerate a speck of dust in her eyes, her nature wasn’t smooth enough, coupled with her blunt and straightforward speech, it would be strange if the protagonist didn’t hold a grudge against her.

Xiao Chen, noticing that all eyes were on him, flashed a charming smile and suddenly leaned close to Shen Qinghe, “I didn’t pay attention earlier if Shengsheng was that close to me, Qinghe, did you see?”

For a moment, Shen Qinghe became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Shen Qinghe hadn’t been paying attention to how close Nan Sheng was to Xiao Chen just now, and replied without deviating her gaze, “If it’s as elder sister says, this can only mean that Big Senior Brother is likable. For a beauty like Miss Nan to like Big Senior Brother, it’s quite normal.”

She didn’t want to offend the protagonist, but she couldn’t publicly undermine Shen Zhiyao’s stance, because Shen Zhiyao was embarrassing Nan Sheng in public for her sake.

Xiao Chen chuckled, “Is that so? I actually think you’re more beautiful than Shengsheng, and more likable too.”

Shen Qinghe’s expression changed slightly.

Had she offended Xiao Chen again?

Xiao Chen’s words clearly pushed her to the crest of a wave.

Ever since Nan Sheng arrived at the Sky Pole Sect, she was acknowledged as the sect’s number one beauty. By pushing her forward, wouldn’t Xiao Chen be inciting those male cultivators who admired Nan Sheng to hate her to the bone?

Just as she was anxious, Sword Master Tian Yan finally made his appearance.

The Sky Pole Sect had two great Sword Masters, the first of course was Shen Zhuo, whose disciples were beyond count. Sword Master Tian Yan’s swordsmanship was just slightly inferior, but he was overtly and covertly discontented with Shen Zhuo.

In the past, if it were to teach swordsmanship, Shen Zhuo would be the one instructing. After Shen Zhuo fell into a coma, this task fell onto Sword Master Tian Yan.

Sword Master Tian Yan had always been on bad terms with Shen Zhuo.

In the Sky Pole Sect, Shen Zhuo was the number one Sword Master; every time he took disciples, it was only the leftovers that were given to Tian Yan.

Nan Sheng was his direct disciple and also the first one who actively requested to join his sect.

Sword Master Tian Yan had just started explaining swordsmanship when Nan Sheng suddenly stood up and said, “Master, both Qinghe and I are disciples who’ve just achieved Foundation Establishment. Qinghe is Elder Shen’s disciple, while I am Master’s disciple. I wish to spar with Qinghe, may I?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyao’s complexion changed, and she stood up to retort, “Qinghe does not practice swordsmanship, and furthermore, my father has been in a coma, without any guidance from a master, how can she spar with Miss Nan? It’s not fair!”

Nan Sheng really disgusted her, actually wanting to bully the weak.

Nan Sheng was already a Middle Stage of Foundation Building Cultivator, having made a breakthrough a few days ago, while Qinghe’s Foundation Establishment hadn’t shown any movement after that, wasn’t this proposed spar simply an opportunity for Nan Sheng to humiliate Qinghe in public?

“Is Qinghe afraid to spar with me? I’ve actually just become a disciple of Master too, and I’ve always been unable to find a Foundation Building Cultivator for a real battle. Today is a good day since Master is teaching swordsmanship, so how can you say Qinghe hasn’t received guidance from a master? Could it be, Sister Zhiyao, that you think my master is not qualified to instruct Qinghe?” Nan Sheng continued to stoke the fire.

Today, she was determined to make Shen Qinghe embarrass herself publicly.

Recently, she always felt inferior in front of Shen Qinghe, and just now Xiao Chen had said Shen Qinghe was more beautiful than her, evoking a sense of crisis deep within her.
