Was it you that night?-Chapter 35 - Dont You Hate Yan Changsheng

Chapter 35 -35: Don’t You Hate Yan Changsheng?
Xiao Chen gave Nan Sheng a cursory glance, “What’s so good about her that I should like her?”
Nan Sheng’s eyes lit up, “Really?!”
Xiao Chen disregarded her but could no longer calm his mind to cultivate.
Was this what liking Shen Qinghe felt like?
It shouldn’t be, right?
He was merely acting on lust, coveting Shen Qinghe’s body.
If one day he got Shen Qinghe’s body, he wouldn’t be interested in that woman anymore.
In the Simple Residence Courtyard, after Shen Qinghe took an elixir, the churning breath in her chest quickly stabilized, and her injured meridians also seemed to be repaired.
Shen Zhiyao anxiously stayed by her side, “Is the elixir working? If it’s not, we’ll go find Medicine Master Huang.”
Shen Qinghe pulled Shen Zhiyao to sit down, “The elixir is very effective, I’m fine now, elder sister, don’t worry.”
She wasn’t surprised at all by how things turned out. In the original plot of the book, it was Shen Zhiyao who got hurt. When she saw Shen Zhiyao and Yan Changsheng clashing, she immediately thought to draw the fire onto herself.
Knowing that Yan Changsheng cared for Nan Sheng, she brutally attacked Nan Sheng, and Yan Changsheng would surely protect Nan Sheng when he saw this.
The result was as she expected; she attracted Yan Changsheng’s wrath, and Shen Zhiyao thus avoided the disaster.
Her fate as an early demise cannon fodder had changed, so she wasn’t afraid of getting hurt, but it was different for Shen Zhiyao; she had to change Shen Zhiyao’s fate at all costs.
All things considered, she was very satisfied with today’s outcome.
“It’s my fault for being too rash. It’s all because of me that you got hurt,” Shen Zhiyao said with a dim look in her eyes.
Shen Qinghe asked, “Did Nan Sheng intentionally provoke elder sister, making elder sister lose control and strike out?”
“How did you know?” Shen Zhiyao replied with surprise.
“Because elder sister is straightforward and easily angered, also easily deceived. If Nan Sheng wants to exacerbate the discord between us, targeting elder sister is the most natural thing to do.” Shen Qinghe felt she understood exactly what was on Nan Sheng’s mind.
Shen Zhiyao’s shoulders slumped, “At the time, she kept saying that Big Senior Brother likes you, plainly because she knew I liked Big Senior Brother, she was sowing discord. I knew it, yet I couldn’t control my temper. At that moment, I wanted to flay her a thousand times! Though honestly, if Big Senior Brother likes you, I wouldn’t be jealous at all; even if I didn’t like Big Senior Brother, I still found myself drawn in by that bitch Nan Sheng.”
Shen Qinghe had many thoughts weighing on her mind.
After this incident, Shen Zhiyao’s hatred for Nan Sheng had become bone-deep, and the rift between her and Nan Sheng couldn’t be reconciled.
“Not only Nan Sheng is our enemy, but Big Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother as well. As long as elder sister moves against Nan Sheng, Big Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother will surely protect her. Do you understand, elder sister?” Shen Qinghe said with a troubled heart.
Had it been before this day, Shen Zhiyao definitely wouldn’t have heeded such words.
But having witnessed Shen Qinghe being severely wounded by Yan Changsheng, she couldn’t remain indifferent.
“I understand. It’s my impulsive nature that dragged you into this,” Shen Zhiyao said in a muffled voice.
To Shen Qinghe’s surprise, “Does elder sister truly understand?”
“Am I that foolish? In the end, it’s because our cultivation bases aren’t high enough that we’re suppressed by Yan Changsheng, and that’s why you were hurt by him. We need to cultivate diligently. Only by doing so can we ever have the chance to kill Nan Sheng!” Shen Zhiyao said fiercely.
Shen Qinghe felt a slight sense of relief in her heart; at last, elder sister had seen the crux of the problem.
While the sisters were having their intimate conversation, Yan Changsheng silently entered the room.
The moment Shen Zhiyao saw Yan Changsheng, her face slightly changed, and she instinctively moved Shen Qinghe behind her, warily glaring at him as she demanded, “You’ve already hurt Qinghe, what more do you want to do?!”
All her actions were subconscious, and because of this, they were particularly painful for Yan Changsheng.
He used to have a good relationship with the Shen sisters, Even if there were no romantic feelings between him and Qinghe, there was still the camaraderie of friendship.
Qinghe was born into the Sky Pole Sect, and on the day of her birth, he even held her. As she grew up, he was there by her side.
The Master regarded him as his own son, and the Shen sisters treated him like family.
But now, they regarded him as an enemy.
“I, I didn’t mean to hurt Qinghe today…” Yan Changsheng struggled to explain.
“Yeah, stabbing my father wasn’t on purpose, injuring Qinghe seriously wasn’t on purpose, and it’s just that my father and Qinghe were fortunate enough not to die at your hand. Yan Changsheng, I feel sick when I see you now. Can’t you just go away and stop disgusting us sisters?!” exclaimed Shen Zhiyao, with undisguised loathing in her eyes.
Yan Changsheng’s face turned white, gripping the elixir tightly in his hand. After standing frozen for a moment, he finally extended the elixir, saying, “This is a top-grade elixir, if Qinghe takes it after…”
“There’s no need, I wouldn’t dare let Qinghe take an elixir from you. Who knows if it’s poisoned or not?” Shen Zhiyao said with biting sarcasm.
Yan Changsheng couldn’t see Shen Qinghe’s face; she was shielded behind Shen Zhiyao and hadn’t spoken a word.
He remembered how in the past, she would greet him with joy as soon as she saw him.
“Regardless, I’ve wronged Qinghe, please let her take this elixir…”
At that moment, Shen Qinghe pushed aside Shen Zhiyao and said to Yan Changsheng, “Take back your elixir. As elder sister says, I fear the elixir might be poisoned. Second Senior Brother, please don’t come to the Simple Residence Courtyard again, we do not welcome you here.”
Yan Changsheng met Shen Qinghe’s calm gaze. In the past, when she looked at him, there were feelings of admiration she couldn’t hide, and on the night the Master was injured by him, there was hatred in her eyes when she looked at him.
But now, her eyes were like a clear sky after the rain, totally void of anything.
He awkwardly set down the elixir, “Take care and heal.”
Shen Zhiyao almost laughed out of sheer anger. She picked up the elixir and chased after him, blocking his way. Under his watchful gaze, she crushed the elixir into powder.
“Qinghe doesn’t fancy your elixir! Don’t come here again in the future. Seeing your face, Qinghe will surely feel so disgusted she’d want to vomit.” Shen Zhiyao tossed this remark at him and turned back to the Side Courtyard.
Yan Changsheng stood there, stunned, his eyes feeling sore.
From inside came Shen Qinghe’s voice, “There was no need to return the elixir, why did elder sister have to say those things to provoke him? If he gets angry and hurts elder sister, what then?”
“You’re just too nice by nature. But honestly, don’t you hate Yan Changsheng?”

Shen Zhiyao’s question made Yan Changsheng hold his breath.
He felt as if he had been waiting for ages, which might have only been a moment, before he heard her speak lightly, “Why waste such intense emotions on someone so meaningless?”
Ha, someone so meaningless.
So now, in Qinghe’s eyes, he was someone so meaningless.
His steps disheveled, he quickly walked away, and only after a long time did he remember that he could travel by Sword Control.
Actually, he shouldn’t have been surprised, from the moment he had chosen Nan Sheng, he should have understood that things with Qinghe could never be as warm and close as they once were.
In life, you gain some, you lose some. He had obtained the woman he loved most; losing a Shen Qinghe was nothing to concern himself over.
