Chapter 40 -40: Sensation in the Sect

Nan Sheng clung tightly to Xiao Chen’s waist, her voice muffled in reply, “Brother Changsheng, please leave. I have Brother Xiao now. Perhaps before long, Brother Changsheng, you will be able to enjoy the wedding wine from me and Brother Xiao.”

Yan Changsheng felt as if struck by lightning, unable to believe what he was hearing as he stared at Nan Sheng, who had her back to him, “What did you just say?”

Seeing this, Xiao Chen simply clarified, “If all goes well, I will marry Shengsheng.”

Yan Changsheng was already injured and, at this moment, the shock was too great; a pain struck his heart, and he felt somewhat unsteady on his feet.

Nan Sheng saw this clearly and felt extremely heartbroken. She was about to step out of Xiao Chen’s embrace when he firmly grasped her slender waist. With a strong squeeze that seemed as if he wanted to break her waist, the pain made her gasp.

Shen Qinghe had just left the Spring Breeze Pavilion not long ago when she heard Yan Changsheng’s roar, followed by the sounds of fighting coming from the direction of the pavilion.

Without stopping, she quickly returned to the Simple Residence Courtyard.

Shen Zhiyao was not in the Simple Residence Courtyard, and no one knew where she had gone.

This time she had absorbed enough spiritual energy, and after sitting in meditation for Thirty-six Heavenly Circuits, she found that the meridians damaged by Yan Changsheng were healing rapidly, and the spiritual energy inside her was flowing smoother than before, as if she had unblocked the extraordinary meridians and collaterals, filled with abundant spiritual energy throughout her body.

When she opened her eyes, three days had passed.

Upon seeing her awaken, Shen Zhiyao immediately leaned in and said, “Right now, you’re the only one in the sect who can cultivate in peace.”

“What happened?” Shen Qinghe sensed there was more to Shen Zhiyao’s words.

“Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng fought over Nan Sheng, they battled for two days and two nights without cease, until the Sect Master intervened, forcibly separating them—and that’s when the internal strife finally ended.” As Shen Zhiyao spoke of this, she sighed lightly, “What’s so good about Nan Sheng? She actually made the two of them enthralled, as if cursed, to the point where they’d hate not being able to kill each other.”

After finishing her thoughts, Shen Qinghe seemed as if she hadn’t heard, lost in her own reflections.

“Sister, don’t you have any thoughts on this?” Shen Zhiyao had been holding back for two days and wished she could continue to gossip with Shen Qinghe for the entire day.

“I do have thoughts, I’m curious as to why they don’t need to cultivate their cultivation base yet still make progress.” Shen Qinghe voiced her confusion.

Shen Zhiyao was momentarily at a loss for words, the girl’s perspective was very down-to-earth.

“After all, they are the favored ones of heaven, and Nan Sheng is a genius girl; these are things we ordinary cultivators can only envy,” Shen Zhiyao finally squeezed out a sentence after a while.

“Geniuses have their way of living, and we ordinary people have ours; their world is different from ours. I’m not interested in their love and hatred, after all, even my cultivation time is not enough,” Shen Qinghe spoke candidly.

Ever since she knew she was living in a book, she felt it wasn’t strange for whatever happened to the protagonists.

If possible, she’d rather not have any dealings with them.

But the Heavenly Empress played a joke on her, she changed her destiny of dying young, gained an immortal fate, yet she still had to interact with the protagonists, which was the most helpless part.

Ever since she hadn’t been able to prevent the confrontation between Shen Zhiyao and Nan Sheng, she had developed a sense of reverence; what was supposed to happen in the story would still come to pass.

What she feared most was that no matter how hard she tried, she still wouldn’t be able to protect Shen Zhiyao.

Shen Zhiyao nodded in agreement, “What you say makes sense, it’s just a pity for Big Senior Brother. He was such a refined and gentle person, yet now he has been tainted by Nan Sheng; I had even thought of becoming Daoist companions with Big Senior Brother…”

Shen Qinghe’s expression changed slightly, “Elder sister, you are not still thinking about Big Senior Brother, are you?”

“How could I? It’s just that plans cannot keep up with changes. In the past, you and Second Senior Brother were a pair, and I might have become one with Big Senior Brother, but a Nan Sheng came along and took our future halves. Having our other halves snatched away is a small matter, but losing face is a major one. Sometimes I really wish I could flay and dismember Nan Sheng!” Shen Zhiyao said through gritted teeth by the end.

Shen Qinghe looked at Shen Zhiyao in a daze, suddenly thinking about the best way to change Shen Zhiyao’s destiny, whether to find her an outstanding good man?

That way, Shen Zhiyao would no longer have any interaction with the main character, and changing her fate would also make sense.

“A man who can be taken away is not worth having. With elder sister’s excellence, you will eventually meet your true destined love. As for Big Senior Brother, you should stop being resentful, elder sister. You should be glad that Nan Sheng appeared before you fell too deep and that you could withdraw in time. That’s a good thing.” Shen Qinghe took Shen Zhiyao’s arm and cooed at her, “I used to be jealous of Big Senior Brother, but now that Big Senior Brother has Nan Sheng, shouldn’t you care more about your little sister?”

Shen Zhiyao looked at her younger sister’s adorable and naive appearance, the more she saw, the more she adored, “You are much cuter than Big Senior Brother, I will spoil you from now on!”

Shen Qinghe nodded vigorously, very satisfied with Shen Zhiyao’s answer.

In the following half-month, Shen Qinghe busied herself with cultivation, but somehow, even though she felt her cultivation base was improving, she still couldn’t break through.

Of course, she also had some gains.

She tried to integrate the swordsmanship taught by Elder Shen with the Wood Element Technique from the Heterodox Cultivation Manual. Among them, a move “Flower Parting Willow Brushing” harmonized with her sword moves, and she was able to use it effortlessly.

As a result, she consumed even more spiritual energy.

Just as Shen Qinghe’s stored spiritual energy was exhausted, good news came from inside Sky Pole Sect, Nan Sheng had made a breakthrough, moving from the Middle Stage of Foundation Building to the Late Stage of Foundation Building!

This news created a sensation throughout the whole Sky Pole Sect.

After all, Sky Pole Sect had never before had a cultivator who broke through so rapidly, Nan Sheng was unprecedented.

Even Sect Master Zuo couldn’t close his mouth from smiling when he found out.

Although Sky Pole Sect was the number one Immortal Sect in the South Desolate Continent, who wouldn’t want more cultivation geniuses in their sect?

Originally, Dongfang Wuya was the living signboard, but this person was too low-key, not fond of showing his face, and thus couldn’t attract more talented cultivators to Sky Pole Sect.

Now with Nan Sheng as the living signboard, the good news not only shook the Sky Pole Sect but also made the whole South Desolate Continent proud.

Besides, Nan Sheng was not only gifted in cultivation but also got the two incredibly talented Xiao Chen and Yan Changsheng to fight over her, combining her exceptional talent with her romantic stories, further adding to the legendary aura of this female cultivator.

Shen Zhiyao, on the other hand, was deeply affected.

Before Nan Sheng came to Sky Pole Sect, she was the most talented female disciple within the sect.

Now who remembers her? Everywhere people talked about Nan Sheng, and everywhere she went, Nan Sheng was the center of discussion.

Seeing Shen Zhiyao disheartened, Shen Qinghe tried to cheer her up, but it had little effect.

“Sister, I’m going to class at Juxiu Hall today, will you be okay by yourself in Simple Residence Courtyard?” Shen Qinghe saw Shen Zhiyao looking listless and actually understood her sister’s feelings.

In the book, Shen Zhiyao insisted on opposing Nan Sheng, and part of the reason was because Nan Sheng stole the glory that belonged to Shen Zhiyao, right?
