Was it you that night?

Shen Qinghe turned her gaze towards Nan Sheng, approaching her step by step.

Nan Sheng looked at her timidly, retreating several steps, with a trembling voice, "Qinghe, why must you be so aggressive? I... I really haven’t done anything; it’s all a misunderstanding. Even if I’ve done something wrong before, I’ve already been punished. Mercy is a virtue – can’t you just let it go instead of looking like you want to kill me..."

Just then, Shen Qinghe stood still in front of her and whispered into her ear, "I thought the past was the past, and we could each mind our own business. Nan Sheng, you were the one who provoked me first! You shouldn’t have touched my elder sister; I’ll leave you with these words today. If I find out that you meant to kill my sister this time, I swear, whatever you want, I will take it away, and you will live forever in the fear of my control!!"

Nan Sheng’s face turned pale, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Shen Qinghe.

But Shen Qinghe was not one of those male cultivators bewitched by her beauty. She took one last look at Nan Sheng and walked away without turning back.

Nan Sheng’s palms sweated.

Even if she didn’t want to admit it, Shen Qinghe’s words had indeed intimidated her.

This time she had not only failed to kill Shen Zhiyao, but if Shen Qinghe retaliated later, she might not be able to gain the upper hand.

Had this been when she first joined the Sky Pole Sect, when everyone was fond of and pampered her, Shen Qinghe would have been just a powerless Shen Qinghe, someone she could have crushed with a single finger.

But Shen Qinghe was no longer the same, she was a Golden Core cultivator now, with the Red Lotus Shield Armor and the Black Rope for protection, and even Dongfang Wuya to defend her. Even Yan Changsheng had fallen for Shen Qinghe.

The only Master who doted on her was confined in the Nether Pool, and Xiao Chen, her fiancé, was also on Shen Qinghe’s side. Who else did she have by her side?
