Chapter 99 -97: He is Actually the Softest Person

Shen Zhiyao didn’t know what to say.

Shen Qinghe had a strong desire to talk, and she spoke incessantly about everything that had happened in the past two years.

She said that Dongfang Wuya had saved her life, and also mentioned how Dongfang Wuya had helped her obtain the Snow Bone Grass in Snow Bone City, not to mention that the Red Lotus Shield Armor and the top-grade Spirit Pills given by Dongfang Wuya had allowed her to survive in the Mythical Beast Illusion Realm.

In the end, she said that without Dongfang Wuya, she wouldn’t be alive today, nor would she have become a Golden Core cultivator.

After listening, Shen Zhiyao felt a pang of heartache.

One might say Qinghe was foolish, but in the entire Immortal Sect, it was Dongfang Wuya who valued Qinghe the most, and Dongfang Wuya who treated her the best. Whenever Qinghe faced difficulties, wasn’t it Mr. Wuya who was the first to step forward?

If it were her, the one whose heart was like free-floating clouds, if someone treated her so well, she would have been unable to remain indifferent as well.

The kindness Mr. Wuya showed towards Qinghe was a burden too heavy for one person to bear, wasn’t it?

It had nothing to do with romance, but was all about genuine affection.

“Mr. Wuya didn’t come, but you can go and tell him this happy news. Come on, elder sister will accompany you,” said Shen Zhiyao as she stepped forward to pull up the dispirited Shen Qinghe.

No matter what Qinghe’s feelings for Mr. Wuya were, she hoped they would stop here and not grow any deeper.

Qinghe was not like her, carefree and heartless; she was a person who deeply valued affection and was also easily hurt because of it.

Shen Qinghe’s eyes lit up, realizing she had been quite obtuse.

Accompanied by Shen Zhiyao, she hurried excitedly to the outside of Bixiao Tower.

No sooner had the Shen sisters approached than Xiao Bai reported the matter to Dongfang Wuya.

Dongfang Wuya did not expect Shen Qinghe to come at this time, and with an expressionless face, he scanned the approaching Shen Qinghe with his Divine Sense from Bixiao Tower.

Xiao Bai didn’t know what his master was feeling; he could only carefully deduce, “Should I invite Fairy Qinghe in?”

“You’re being meddlesome!” Dongfang Wuya swept a glance at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai could only silently retreat to the side.

He thought his master valued Fairy Qinghe and would be eager to see her, but it turned out to be quite the opposite.

Fairy Qinghe coming to find his master so late, it must be for something urgent.

Actually, Shen Qinghe had no intention of entering Bixiao Tower; she simply wanted to tell Dongfang Wuya in person that she had successfully formed her Golden Core today.

Standing outside Bixiao Tower, Shen Qinghe cleared her throat and with a smile said, “Uncle Master must already know that I have successfully formed my Golden Core today and become a cultivator at the Golden Core stage. The reason I’ve reached this day is Uncle Master’s great support, and I came here just to personally report this joyous event to Uncle Master. Hereafter, I will cultivate even more diligently, so as not to let down Uncle Master’s kindness and recognition!”

After expressing what she wanted to say, she let go of her worries and the gloominess she had felt before lifted.

She took Shen Zhiyao and was about to leave when Xiao Bai came out from Bixiao Tower, handing a gift box to Shen Qinghe: “This is an elixir gifted by the master. He said it is for the fairy to snack on. This is the spiritual key to the Spiritual Weapon Vault; whenever Fairy Qinghe has some spare time, feel free to visit the vault and select a Spiritual Artifact that resonates with you.”

Shen Qinghe accepted the gift box, her eyes brimming with warmth.

This must be the gift Dongfang Wuya had prepared early on, right? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to give her this gift box as soon as she arrived.

It’s just that he didn’t really want to see her, so even these congratulatory gifts were put aside.

Everyone says Dongfang Wuya is aloof and indifferent, but in her eyes, he’s actually the softest person.

“Xiao Bai, please thank Uncle Master for me,” Shen Qinghe said in a hoarse voice.

“Fairy need not thank me. The master said that you are very diligent and have good immortal fate; you are a talent. As a member of the sect, when the master sees a disciple with immortal fate, he should naturally cultivate them well. Fairy, please go, and do not let down the master’s expectations of you,” Xiao Bai replied in a matter-of-fact manner.

Shen Qinghe nodded slightly and, holding the gift box, walked away with the company of Shen Zhiyao.

It wasn’t until after she had left that Dongfang Wuya came out of Bixiao Tower, watching the Shen sisters disappear into the distance.

He stood quietly for a long while and then murmured, “As long as she focuses on cultivation, she will surely achieve great success in the future.”

And he could watch her grow with his own eyes; there was nothing that made him prouder than this.

Initially, when Shen Qinghe was at death’s door and should have passed away already, it was her unyielding spirit that helped her to fend off the call of death, and that’s why he saved her.

“The people the master values are certainly extraordinary. Everyone used to say Nan Sheng was a once-in-a-millennium genius girl, but Nan Sheng’s mind is vicious. With such character, she won’t go far in the cultivation world. But Fairy Qinghe, whom the master values, transformed from an ordinary person into a cultivation genius. No matter how you look at it, Fairy Qinghe is superior,” Xiao Bai looked up at his master admiringly.

“That’s also her own efforts. Being able to come out alive from the Mythical Beast Illusion Realm, that’s her skill,” Dongfang Wuya said with rare interest, talking to Xiao Bai about Shen Qinghe.

Xiao Bai acted as a qualified listener.

After all, in his view, the master thought Fairy Qinghe was good in every aspect, excellent in everything. Nan Sheng wasn’t even worthy to carry Fairy Qinghe’s shoes.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhiyao took Shen Qinghe back to the Simple Residence Courtyard and couldn’t wait to open the gift box to take a look.

The gift box had three layers: the top layer contained top-grade medicinal pills, the second layer had various talismans, and the third layer had top-grade elixirs to enhance cultivation base.

“Qinghe, Mr. Wuya is truly good to you,” Shen Zhiyao noted, feeling very conflicted.

On one hand, she felt that no matter how good Mr. Wuya was, Qinghe shouldn’t get too involved. But as an onlooker, even she felt drawn to such a person as Mr. Wuya, and she feared that Qinghe wouldn’t be able to guard her heart.

“Yes, I seem to owe Mr. Wuya even more now,” Shen Qinghe said absently, looking at the spiritual key in her hands.

Shen Zhiyao stepped forward to take the spiritual key. “There are two Spiritual Weapon Vaults in the Sky Pole Sect. One does not need a spiritual key and is accessible by ordinary cultivators after Core Formation. The spiritual key Mr. Wuya gave you is for the other vault, one which I have never entered. It is said to be full of miraculous treasures, but one must have the fate to acquire a Spirit Artifact that suits them. I have heard that Sword Master Tian Yan also got a spiritual key for Nan Sheng, allowing her to pick a Spirit Artifact from that vault, saying it was a wedding gift for Nan Sheng. In my opinion, Sword Master Tian Yan knew you achieved Core Formation today and feared Nan Sheng would be outperformed by you, and he is counting on Nan Sheng to help him save face.”

Sword Master Tian Yan didn’t seem to realize that Nan Sheng’s reputation was already ruined, and everybody knew that Nan Sheng had a malicious heart, since she wanted to kill Qinghe just because Qinghe obtained the Snow Bone Grass.

“Elder sister, where did you hear this news?” Shen Qinghe asked curiously.

“Shu Xiu told me. She also said that Nan Sheng is going to the Spiritual Weapon Vault tomorrow. Why don’t you go too? Do you know what Spirit Artifact she got from the book? If you do, you could grab it before she does and leave her without even a magic artifact to show for it,” Shen Zhiyao said excitedly.

In her opinion, it wasn’t an impossible task.

If Qinghe could snatch the Snow Bone Grass from Nan Sheng before her, why couldn’t she take Nan Sheng’s Spirit Artifact as well?
