Chapter 101 -99: Beyond Redemption

Yan Changsheng had gone to the Simple Residence Courtyard before he learned that Qinghe had come to the Spiritual Weapon Vault today to select a Spiritual Artifact. Although he initially wanted to visit the Sword Practice Field, he inadvertently found himself near this place.

Just now, Nan Sheng and Qinghe had been standing together, but his heart and eyes were filled with only Qinghe. In that instant, he realized that he had, without knowing it, completely let go of Nan Sheng and, unknowingly, harbored Qinghe in his heart.

This fact shocked him, made his heart race, and even more so, filled him with fear!

Xiao Chen noticed the paleness of Yan Changsheng’s face and, thinking he was worried about Nan Sheng, comforted him, “Shengsheng is just going to get the Spiritual Artifact that is fated for her. It’s not like she’s going to face the Trials; there will be no danger. You can be completely at ease.”

Yan Changsheng stared blankly at Xiao Chen, his face deathly pale, wanting to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

He could not continue to indulge himself any longer, otherwise he would be beyond redemption!

There was a deadlock between him and Qinghe; there could be no future together. He knew well the nature of Qinghe—she seemed easy to talk to, but in fact, she was most stubborn.

Ever since the day he brought Nan Sheng back to the Sky Pole Sect, the possibility of rekindling any past affection with Qinghe had ceased to exist.

“Changsheng, you don’t look well. What’s wrong?” Xiao Chen noticed that Yan Changsheng’s expression was very off, and it didn’t seem to stem from worry about Nan Sheng.

Indeed, since Yan Changsheng had accused Nan Sheng of her crimes a month ago, it meant that Changsheng and Nan Sheng had already turned against each other.

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly be worried about Nan Sheng while she was entering the Spiritual Weapon Vault? It was illogical.

If Yan Changsheng was not here to see Nan Sheng, could it be that he was here for Qinghe?

Considering this possibility, Xiao Chen probed teasingly, “You couldn’t be worried about Qinghe, could you?”

Yan Changsheng quickly returned to his usual demeanor, and blandly uttered, “I just happened to walk here by chance. I’m leaving.”

Xiao Chen watched Yan Changsheng walk away, feeling that his earlier state of panic was indeed problematic.

He suddenly recalled the scene in the secret realm where Yan Changsheng was holding the “corpse” of Shen Qinghe and weeping bitterly. At that time, because of the urgent circumstances, he did not think much of it.

Reconsidering the details of that time, it felt very inappropriate.

How could a man like Yan Changsheng easily shed tears? Yet back then, he was heartbroken, as if he had lost a loved one.

Moreover, during that period, Yan Changsheng and Qinghe had been alone together in The Abyss for several months, keeping each other company day and night, sharing life and death. Qinghe even saved Yan Changsheng numerous times. Under such circumstances, it was only normal for Yan Changsheng to develop feelings for Qinghe.

If it was as he suspected, and Yan Changsheng had fallen for Qinghe, then that would be laughable indeed.

If all the men in the world died out, it would still be improbable for Qinghe to end up with Yan Changsheng, wouldn’t it? What woman would willingly be with a man who had hurt them numerous times? She would not be a masochist.

Shen Qinghe, however, was unaware of Yan Changsheng’s complex inner struggles. She successfully entered the Spiritual Weapon Vault, passing through the ordinary section and quickly made her way to the second layer where the Spiritual Treasures were kept.

At that moment, someone else, a step ahead, took out the spiritual key and entered the Spiritual Treasure Repository. Was it not Nan Sheng?

But Shen Qinghe was not in a hurry. This time she came to select a Spiritual Artifact, not to compete over one. The Artifact that suited her best was the one that was truly valuable to her.

Even though she knew the Thousand Shadows Sword would make Nan Sheng famous in the cultivation world, she had no interest in it.

She took out the spiritual key and entered the Spiritual Treasure Repository.

The light in the Spiritual Treasure Repository was dim, and only after adjusting to the dimness could she see that the ground where she stood was muddy, as if it had just rained.

Various Spiritual Treasures were placed haphazardly in the mud, looking like worthless junk, unvalued.

Shen Qinghe looked left and right, feeling that each item suited her desires, but since she could only pick one, she still had to be cautious in her selection.

She gazed at the various Spiritual Treasures with delight for quite a while before suddenly remembering that there was also a Nan Sheng.

As she lifted her gaze, she saw Nan Sheng not far ahead. Seemingly sensing her gaze, Nan Sheng suddenly turned her head to look at her, her eyes oddly unsettling.

Shen Qinghe didn’t understand what Nan Sheng’s look meant, but it made her feel uncomfortable nonetheless.

Nan Sheng was the female lead, and it wouldn’t be strange for the female lead to do anything, but it couldn’t be that Nan Sheng also wanted to kill her, could it?

Today, she was there to choose a Spiritual Artifact and didn’t wish to be schemed against by Nan Sheng, so she wasn’t in a hurry to grab an artifact and kept her eyes on Nan Sheng from time to time, fearing she might suddenly attack.

Soon, she realized that Nan Sheng “had taken a liking to” a certain longsword. If there were no accidents, that might be the Thousand Shadows Divine Sword mentioned in the book.

“Qinghe, can you help me? I can’t lift this sword,” Nan Sheng suddenly called out at that moment.

Shen Qinghe frowned slightly, not understanding what Nan Sheng was up to.

If that was truly the Thousand Shadows Sword, how could Nan Sheng possibly not be able to lift it? If Nan Sheng could lift the sword, why would she deliberately ask her to do it?

“If you can’t lift it, I definitely can’t lift it even more.” Shen Qinghe said, distancing herself even further from Nan Sheng.

Then she remembered the Thousand Shadows Divine Sword could recognize its master, and if someone else dared to touch the sword, the Thousand Shadows Sword would attack that person.

Nan Sheng had only just encountered the Thousand Shadows Divine Sword that day, and even if the Divine Sword was destined for Nan Sheng and she had an eye for it, how could she know that it was the Thousand Shadows Sword, let alone be aware of its characteristics?

That was way too strange.

Could it be that Nan Sheng suddenly had knowledge of the plot in the book and even knew that she was the female lead?

Considering this possibility, Shen Qinghe became even more alert. Whether it was as she suspected or not, she had to be careful.

Nan Sheng already had the female lead’s halo, and if she knew the plot of the book, there was no telling what vicious tactics she might employ against her.

Shen Qinghe figured out the twists and turns and simply let it go.

She wasn’t particularly scared; what kind of scene hadn’t she seen before? She had survived Nan Sheng’s attempt to kill her in the secret realm, and so she had no fear of Nan Sheng’s malicious traps now.

“Shouldn’t fellow disciples help each other?” Nan Sheng’s voice came from ahead.

Shen Qinghe’s lips curled into a smile that was not quite a smile: “There’s no one else here, so you can drop the act. I just find you quite hypocritical.”

Having said that, she no longer looked at Nan Sheng, moved even farther away from her, and started searching for a Spiritual Artifact that was destined for her.

The smile faded from Nan Sheng’s face as she looked at the Thousand Shadows Sword in front of her, secretly pondering that it was not just her being paranoid—Shen Qinghe seemed to also be aware of the plot in the book.

She was locked away in the Nether Pool, suffering unbearable pain and had passed out, and after that, she had a very long dream, realizing that she was the female lead beloved by thousands in a book about stock investing.

In the book, Shen Qinghe was supposed to die on Nan Sheng’s first day in the Sky Pole Sect, and without the bothersome presence of Shen Qinghe, Nan Sheng would have thrived with ease in the sect, becoming the darling of the entire sect without doing anything.

Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng were the two main male leads in the book, both loving her to the point of madness, often fighting over her.

Yet, in reality, Shen Qinghe, the early-deceased cannon fodder, was living well and had confronted her face to face two years ago on Mid-Autumn night. It was that night, overstimulated by Shen Qinghe, that the thought of eliminating Shen Qinghe had first arisen…
