Was it you that night?-Chapter 61 - So handsome So dashing
Chapter 61: Chapter 61: So handsome! So dashing!!
Chapter 61 -61: So handsome! So dashing!!
Yan Changsheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.
Indeed, if he were Qinghe, how could he forgive himself?
The harm he had caused Qinghe could hardly be negated with just a few words.
The moment he stepped out of the Simple Residence Courtyard, he looked around blankly.
He was a child picked up by his Master, and when his Master found him, he was fighting with a group of children for food. He thought he would be a beggar for life, but it was his Master who gave him a completely different life.
It was his Master who bestowed upon him the name Changsheng, and later treated him like his own son, even saying he wanted to marry his most precious daughter to him.
At first, he thought his Master was joking, but when he realized it wasn’t a joke, although he was resistant, he still accepted such a fate.
Back then, he thought that even though he didn’t love Qinghe, his Master had been kind to him; it was just a marriage, and he could afford to compensate for it.
He never expected that one day he would meet Nan Sheng and fall in love with her at first sight.
Since meeting Nan Sheng, he was as if bewitched, doing all sorts of malicious things for her.
Now, looking back on everything he had done in the past year or more, even he found it unbearable to witness. Raised by his Master, he was taught to be upright and honest, but he had become immersed in lust, lowering his standards of conduct again and again, hurting those closest to him.
His actions were no different from that of a beast.
Shen Zhiyao was right; being abandoned by Nan Sheng was his retribution.
The next morning, a group of cultivators gathered to participate in the trials of the Red Moon Secret Realm in front of the Sky Pole Sect Gate. Nan Sheng, of course, was the center of attention, with Xiao Chen standing by her side, a detached smile on his face as he doted on her.
At a glance, they looked like the perfect golden boy and jade girl.
Just when the crowd was in high spirits, the Shen sisters, Shen Qinghe and Shen Zhiyao, arrived.
Shu Xiu, who had long disliked Nan Sheng, immediately went up to them and said, “Why are you so late?”
“Better late than never, we’re not late at all,” Shen Zhiyao replied.
In the past, Shen Zhiyao would have cursed at the sight of Nan Sheng, but today she didn’t even spare her a glance.
Shu Xiu, noticing this detail, asked in a low voice, “Why aren’t you cursing at Nan Sheng today?”
Shen Zhiyao really wanted to curse out loud, but thinking better of it, not wanting to hold Qinghe back, she held herself back.
“She’s not worth wasting my breath on,” Shen Zhiyao replied with a feigned smile.
Shu Xiu couldn’t help but laugh, feeling that Shen Zhiyao’s words were to her liking.
She also thought Nan Sheng was despicable, clearly fickle and greedy, yet still pretending to be pure and untainted. She couldn’t understand why the male cultivators all seemed enthralled by Nan Sheng.
If it were for beauty, Qinghe was no less attractive. Yet Qinghe’s temperament was many times better than that of Nan Sheng.
While the three of them were chatting and laughing, Yan Changsheng, dressed in a disciple’s clothing, appeared.
The Shen sisters didn’t give Yan Changsheng a glance. Shu Xiu took a look and then did a double take, softly exclaiming, “Huh?”
“What is it?” Shen Zhiyao noticed Shu Xiu’s odd expression.
“Ever since Second Senior Brother brought Nan Sheng back the year before last, he has never worn the disciple’s clothing, always preferring flashier attire. But today, he’s wearing it, which is strange,” Shu Xiu whispered.
She felt that Yan Changsheng seemed to have reverted to the same calm, silent, and stern Second Senior Brother of before, rather than the Yan Changsheng who constantly chased after Nan Sheng, completely devoted to her.
Shen Zhiyao glanced at Yan Changsheng, snorted coldly, but said nothing.
Ever since Qinghe told her that this was a book world, where the male lead would blacken because of Nan Sheng by the end, the resentment in her heart had lessened considerably.
She didn’t want to cause more trouble for Qinghe, so she had to keep her big mouth shut.
Looking at Qinghe again, even knowing Yan Changsheng had arrived, even though Yan Changsheng had hurt her many times, she didn’t give Yan Changsheng as much as a glance, showing Qinghe’s temperament was much more stable than hers.
Yan Changsheng caught a glance at Nan Sheng, surrounded by people, and was momentarily lost before quickly returning to normal.
He stood quietly behind the Shen sisters, acting as a silent pillar.
Shen Zhiyao thought Yan Changsheng was sick, not standing by Nan Sheng’s side, but instead standing beside them, extremely annoying.
But she still managed to keep her cool and ignored Yan Changsheng.
Nan Sheng’s heart raced the moment she caught sight of Yan Changsheng from a distance.
When Yan Changsheng appeared, it was as if she was transported back to their first encounter.
That day, Yan Changsheng was also dressed in white disciple’s clothing, his ink-black hair only held up by a sandalwood hairpin, and his appearance was like a descending immortal.
Back then, they fell in love at first sight.
It was still the same person, but Yan Changsheng no longer looked at her. Instead, he stood quietly behind Shen Qinghe, and to the unaware, he could be mistaken for Shen Qinghe’s flower guardian.
Not willing to be lonely, she took the initiative to approach Shen Qinghe, revealing a beautiful smile, “Qinghe, you still can’t control a sword, can you? Do you want to come with us? I can ask Brother Xiao to take extra care of you on the way.”
Shen Zhiyao couldn’t help but laugh mockingly to herself at how shamelessly some people behaved, so much so that she wanted to beat Nan Sheng up.
Shen Qinghe glanced at Shen Zhiyao, seemingly aware of the turmoil in her heart. After locking eyes with Qinghe’s soothing gaze, Shen Zhiyao calmed down in an instant, pursed her lips, and tried to be as inconspicuous as a post.
“No need, I have company,” Shen Qinghe responded in a light tone.
“You don’t want to go with Sister Zhiyao, do you? There’s quite a distance between Sky Pole Sect and Red Moon Secret Realm. With Sister Zhiyao’s cultivation base, I’m afraid she can’t carry you that far,” said Nan Sheng sweetly.
Shen Qinghe hadn’t even had the chance to reply when someone cried out in surprise.
Following the sound, they saw a red figure flying in on a sword. The person landed steadily beside Shen Qinghe in a blink and before they fully realized what was happening, he had already embraced her waist and taken her up into the sky, leaving everyone behind in an instant.
At this point, even Shen Zhiyao had to admit, even though Dongfang Wuya was also one of the male leads in the book, he was just too dashing!!

Seeing everyone at the scene dumbfounded, including Nan Sheng, that little bitch, she chuckled lightly, “Who was the man who just took Qinghe away? So handsome! So dashing!! Oh, it’s Mr. Wuya, then never mind!”
Shu Xiu couldn’t help but smile at Shen Zhiyao’s sarcastic tone, “Qinghe has gone far, we should hurry and chase after her!”
Suddenly, Shen Zhiyao couldn’t laugh anymore, as she suddenly remembered that Dongfang Wuya was also one of the male leads in the book, and it could spell big trouble to let Qinghe be alone with him!
She hurriedly flew off on her sword, shouting loudly, “Mr. Wuya, wait for me!”
Shu Xiu immediately followed suit.
But their speed wasn’t fast enough, as a white figure swiftly passed by them.
Shu Xiu didn’t see the face of the person, only knowing it was a man, and asked Shen Zhiyao, “Who just overtook us?”
