Was it you that night?-Chapter 60 - Supreme Mr. Wuya

Chapter 60 -60: Supreme Mr. Wuya

Shen Qinghe’s eyes welled up with warmth, and she suddenly doubted whether telling Shen Zhiyao about this matter was a mistake.

Shen Zhiyao was so doting towards her, and with her unique circumstances, she feared she might affect Shen Zhiyao’s cultivation.

The day before their departure, Dongfang Wuya visited the Simple Residence Courtyard.

Upon seeing Dongfang Wuya, Shen Zhiyao became extremely nervous, instantly shielding Shen Qinghe behind her.

She had previously thought Dongfang Wuya’s protection of Qinghe was a good thing, even believing that Dongfang Wuya might unknowingly harbor affection for Qinghe. Now she only feared that one day Dongfang Wuya would harm Qinghe.

Shen Zhiyao’s exaggerated reaction caught Dongfang Wuya off guard, “Why do you hide Qinghe behind you? Am I going to eat her?”

Seeing Shen Zhiyao’s behavior, it was as if he were some sort of flood beast.

Shen Zhiyao’s expression turned slightly stiff; she knew her reaction was overly dramatic, but she just couldn’t help feeling scared.

At this moment, Shen Qinghe emerged from behind Shen Zhiyao, “Uncle Master, do you need something?”

“We will be leaving for the Red Moon Secret Realm tomorrow. You cannot control a sword, so you will travel with me,” Dongfang Wuya stated his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyao hastily interjected, “Men and women should not travel closely, it would not look right for Qinghe to accompany Mr. Wuya. Moreover, I can control a sword, and when the time comes, Qinghe will leave with me. There is no need to trouble Mr. Wuya.”

She feared that her dear Xiao Hemiao would unknowingly be taken advantage of by Dongfang Wuya without realizing it. After all, one must always take precautions against the male leads in the books!

The phrase “men and women should not travel closely” sounded grating to Dongfang Wuya’s ears.

He had never considered Shen Qinghe in a romantic light, and Shen Zhiyao’s defensive attitude irritated him greatly.

Although they were sisters and naturally close, Shen Qinghe was also his disciple; why should Shen Zhiyao monopolize her?

“I do not trust leaving Qinghe in your hands. Tomorrow, Qinghe will travel with me!” Dongfang Wuya declared definitively.

Shen Zhiyao was almost amused by her anger, “There’s absolutely no problem for me to carry one more person during Sword Flight…”

Before Shen Zhiyao could finish, Dongfang Wuya interjected, “I have decided, Qinghe will travel with me, now hold your tongue!”

Shen Qinghe: …

Shen Zhiyao: …

The two sisters exchanged glances, conveying a single message through their eyes: Dongfang Wuya was too domineering!

Shen Zhiyao felt she should reason with Dongfang Wuya, “Qinghe is my sister, she should travel with me—”

As she was speaking, she realized she couldn’t speak anymore, which immediately caused her to panic.

She pointed to her own throat, then at Dongfang Wuya, and tugged on Shen Qinghe’s sleeve.

Shen Qinghe understood the message Shen Zhiyao was trying to convey—elder sister had been silenced by Uncle Master’s spell, “Uncle Master, please don’t be angry, elder sister was just trying to reason with you because she cares about me. And I think elder sister’s words make sense, I should travel with her…”

“Shen Qinghe, if you can’t speak properly, then hold your tongue as well!” Dongfang Wuya did not like being refused.

Shen Qinghe had no choice but to remain silent, inwardly noting that Dongfang Wuya’s domineering side hadn’t been evident before but was now fully revealed. Considering his superiority complex, it’s no wonder he would turn dark in the future.

Dongfang Wuya, noticing Shen Qinghe’s silence, was again dissatisfied, “Why have you stopped talking now?”

Shen Qinghe said in a muffled voice, “Didn’t my uncle forbid me to speak?”

Dongfang Wuya cleared his throat slightly uncomfortable, “What I meant was that you are not allowed to speak offensive words. Forget it, remember to travel with me tomorrow, and don’t secretly defy my orders!”

As he was about to leave after saying this, Shen Qinghe quickly chased after him, “Uncle, you haven’t lifted elder sister’s ban on speaking.”

Dongfang Wuya looked back at her and said simply, “Your sister is not a good person.”

Shen Qinghe: …

Shen Zhiyao, who had just come out, heard this and grew furious, forgetting that she was a fan of Dongfang Wuya. She yelled at his retreating figure, “You’re the one who’s not a good person!!”

As soon as Shen Zhiyao spoke, she realized she could talk again, and she continued to rant, “I used to admire him, but as soon as he opens his mouth, it’s so foul. An outsider trying to take my sister away from me, and he has the nerve to say I’m not a good person…”

Worried that Dongfang Wuya might hear, Shen Qinghe quickly covered Shen Zhiyao’s mouth, “Elder sister, stop talking, be careful if Mr. Wuya hears.”

“He also said I’m not a good person, can’t I talk about him?” Shen Zhiyao was furious to the point of pain.

Unable to help but chuckle, Shen Qinghe soothed her rampaging elder sister, “Mr. Wuya is talking nonsense; my elder sister is the very best person.”

Shen Zhiyao was instantly healed by Shen Qinghe’s words, her lips curving into a proud smile, “Exactly, no matter how powerful Dongfang Wuya is, he’s still an outsider, right?”

Although Dongfang Wuya had already flown far away, his hearing was too good, and he clearly heard the conversation between the Shen sisters.

Could he only be considered an outsider? In his mind, he regarded Shen Qinghe as his own person.

What annoyed him the most was that he always considered Shen Qinghe’s interests in everything, yet this stubborn girl’s heart held Shen Zhiyao as the very best person.

He made a decision – from now on, he would treat Shen Qinghe even better. Only in this way could he replace Shen Zhiyao in Shen Qinghe’s heart.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhiyao was still fiercely brainwashing Shen Qinghe, claiming Dongfang Wuya had a truly terrible nature and couldn’t speak well, urging Shen Qinghe never to fall for Dongfang Wuya.

Seeing that she had been rambling for a whole shichen, alternating, “Dongfang Wuya” this and “Dongfang Wuya” that, Shen Qinghe reminded her, “If elder sister keeps mentioning Mr. Wuya, even if I don’t like him, I will still remember him deeply.”

That sentence indeed had a massive effect, and Shen Zhiyao immediately shut her mouth, swearing off mentioning Dongfang Wuya.

However, that very evening, Yan Changsheng suddenly came to the Simple Residence Courtyard, asking Shen Qinghe if she wanted to accompany him on a trip the next day.

Before Shen Qinghe could speak, Shen Zhiyao stepped forward to send him away, “Even if everyone in the world was dead, Qinghe would not travel with you. Get lost, and don’t ever appear before Qinghe again!”

Although Yan Changsheng had expected the Shen sisters to reject him, Shen Zhiyao’s fierce indignation still made him uncomfortable.

“Qinghe has only reached Foundation Establishment, unable to perform Sword Flight; I can carry…”

Shen Qinghe cut off Yan Changsheng’s presumptuousness with an indifferent expression, “That’s not necessary. You may leave.”

Yan Changsheng fell silent.

He had thought that over time, her animosity toward him would decrease, but it hadn’t.

“If you change your mind, you can find me anytime.” After a pause, he added, “I didn’t mean to hurt you last year, I’m sorry.”

Shen Zhiyao laughed, “Do you think you only owe Qinghe an apology? You brought back Nan Sheng, first injuring my father, then you broke off Qinghe’s engagement, making her the laughing stock of the entire sect. Later, for Nan Sheng, you took away Qinghe’s Secret Manual, then you hurt Qinghe with your Sword Qi. With all these things, one after another, do you think a simple sorry is enough? Yan Changsheng, our Shen Family treated you well, yet you bullied Qinghe like this. In this lifetime, or the next, Qinghe will never forgive you. Get lost!!”
