Chapter 86 -84: The Favored Sons of Heaven All Follow Shen Qinghe
“Qinghe was harmed because she was protecting me, so naturally, I should take over her burden. There’s no need for Mr. Wuya to trouble himself,” Yan Changsheng coldly refused Dongfang Wuya.
Upon hearing that, Dongfang Wuya’s brow furrowed slightly, “What do you mean she was protecting you? Why would she protect you?!”
Given how Yan Changsheng had treated Shen Qinghe, could Shen Qinghe still respond to complaints with virtue? How could Shen Qinghe make such a foolish decision?
Yan Changsheng roughly explained the situation, “Previously, Qinghe and I fell into the Mythical Beast Fantasy Realm. My cultivation base was suppressed in the Illusory Realm, and it was Qinghe who protected me time and time again, allowing me to survive in the realm. It was also to protect me that she got stabbed in the heart by an alien-shaped person…”
At the scene, an increasing number of cultivators had somehow gathered, listening intently with varied expressions.
Everyone had heard something about the love and hate between Shen Qinghe and Yan Changsheng, after all, it also involved the affairs of Nan Sheng, the number one beauty of the Sky Pole Sect.
Shen Qinghe had long been at odds with Yan Changsheng, so why would she risk her life to protect him at a critical juncture?
In everyone’s minds, there was only one thought, and that was that Shen Qinghe’s feelings for Yan Changsheng must run deep. Only this explanation could make sense of why Shen Qinghe was willing to risk her life to save Yan Changsheng.
Such devoted love, it’s a pity it was met with someone as ungrateful as Yan Changsheng. This was Shen Qinghe’s misfortune.
Shen Qinghe, seeing everyone’s strange looks, felt that they had greatly misunderstood.
Her repeated rescues of Yan Changsheng were purely because he was a storehouse of spiritual energy. If Yan Changsheng died, she would have no way out, so in a situation with no choice, she had to save Yan Changsheng.
She didn’t expect it to cause such a huge misunderstanding.

Looking again at Yan Changsheng’s expression, it seemed he had misunderstood as well.
Dongfang Wuya stared hard at Shen Qinghe, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
It was then that Shen Qinghe realized that Dongfang Wuya was angry, but she didn’t know why he was angry.
She drifted over to his side and asked in a low voice, “Uncle Master, did I do something wrong?”
Dongfang Wuya looked at Shen Qinghe with cold eyes, eyes that could freeze a person.
She still had the face to ask what she did wrong?
Her heart was so fickle, coveting him while still not having forgotten her old feelings for Yan Changsheng, willing to die protecting Yan Changsheng. And she had the audacity to ask him why after turning to Qin Muchu?
Shen Qinghe felt a little short of breath under Dongfang Wuya’s glowering look.
After pondering for a moment, she suddenly understood why Dongfang Wuya was angry—it was probably also because he thought she still had lingering feelings for Yan Changsheng and that’s why she fought to the death to save him.
She wanted to explain, but how could she possibly explain it convincingly?
She did indeed save Yan Changsheng several times, and in the end, she couldn’t tell Dongfang Wuya directly that if Yan Changsheng died, she would no longer be able to draw spiritual energy from him, could she?
Just then, Shen Zhiyao also arrived. At first, she didn’t know that Shen Qinghe’s pulse had stopped. It was not until Zhao Xueluo told her about Shen Qinghe’s situation that she got so angry her teeth chattered, “Nonsense! Qinghe would never give up her life for Yan Changsheng, never!!”
Soon she realized something. Qinghe must have had to save Yan Changsheng in order to draw spiritual energy from him, but now Qinghe was gone, and Yan Changsheng was fine. How could she accept this?
Shen Zhiyao couldn’t believe her sister was just gone like that, and seeing Yan Changsheng holding her sister, the scene was unbearably irritating to her eyes.
Without thinking much, she stepped forward intending to snatch Shen Qinghe back.
But she wasn’t fast enough, and a red figure instantly appeared in front of Yan Changsheng—it was Dongfang Wuya.
Yan Changsheng recognized the intent of Dongfang Wuya to kidnap someone and was about to protect Shen Qinghe and retreat, but Dongfang Wuya said, “Give her to me, and I can reunite her soul with her body!”
Mr. Wuya’s words undoubtedly carried authority, and this time Yan Changsheng had no reason to refuse, so he could only hand over Shen Qinghe’s body to Dongfang Wuya.
Dongfang Wuya was something else; after receiving Shen Qinghe’s body, he actually slung it over his shoulder as if venting his frustration.
Shen Qinghe was just thankful that her soul was separated from her body because if it wasn’t, being carried on Dongfang Wuya’s shoulder like a sack of potatoes, her internal organs would have been jostled out.
“Mr. Wuya, be gentle, Qinghe is uncomfortable like this!” Yan Changsheng anxiously reminded.
Dongfang Wuya ignored Yan Changsheng, shouldering Shen Qinghe’s body and leading her soul by hand, and in an instant, he vanished from the sight of everyone present.
Shen Qinghe knew that Dongfang Wuya was angry and did not dare to object, meekly following him as he left.
The others were quietly whispering among themselves.
They had been in the Red Moon Secret Realm for over half a year, and more or less, everyone had gained some reward, even Shen Zhiyao had obtained a decent Spiritual Treasure.
Only Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng had gained nothing from this trip; they were initially trapped in Snow Bone City and then one fell into the Mythical Beast Fantasy Realm, while the other was preoccupied with searching for someone and had no time to hunt for treasures.
Seeing that the time for the secret realm to close was fast approaching, it was too late to go treasure hunting now.
Moreover, with Shen Qinghe taken away by Dongfang Wuya, they had no mood to stay in the secret realm any longer. The two of them tacitly headed towards the exit of the secret realm, forgetting that Nan Sheng was still unaccounted for.
Shen Zhiyao only heard Dongfang Wuya say that he could reunite Qinghe’s body and soul, and after a great sorrow came great joy; she almost couldn’t catch her breath from the surprise.
It was only when Shu Xiu reminded her that she chased in the direction Dongfang Wuya had left.
Everyone saw the cream of the crop from Sky Pole Sect following the already “deceased” Shen Qinghe leave, and they all felt the scene was somewhat eerie.
They only knew that Nan Sheng was the number one beauty of Sky Pole Sect and the goddess in the eyes of all Cultivators, but why did all those proud sons of Sky Pole Sect run after Shen Qinghe when Nan Sheng had yet to return?
Half a month later, Nan Sheng returned, laden with treasure. When she emerged from the Red Moon Secret Realm, she felt the strange looks from everyone.
She didn’t know what had happened, only aware that the gazes of the Cultivators were filled with a peculiar scrutiny.
As for the absence of Yan Changsheng, she thought he had not returned from falling into The Abyss, and although a bit sad, she had gradually accepted the reality after preparing herself psychologically for months.
What she couldn’t understand was why Xiao Chen was not there either. It wasn’t possible that Xiao Chen didn’t want to leave the secret realm because he could not find Yan Changsheng and Shen Qinghe, was it?
She approached a male cultivator of Sky Pole Sect and asked, “Have you seen Brother Xiao come out?”
The male cultivator did not hide anything and answered truthfully, “Senior Xiao left with Senior Yan, returning to Sky Pole Sect half a month ago.”
Nan Sheng’s expression changed slightly, “What did you say?”
Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng had both left her behind and returned to Sky Pole Sect first? How could that be?
“Junior Sister had an accident, so Senior Xiao and Senior Yan were worried and went back to Sky Pole Sect ahead of time…” The male cultivator relayed the events as they occurred.
Nan Sheng listened expressionlessly until the end, finally understanding why everyone present was looking at her so strangely.
All Cultivators of South Desolate Continent knew that Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng were both her devoted followers, but even these two had abandoned her for Shen Qinghe.
How could everyone not speculate?
