Was it you that night?

Shen Zhiyao saw Shen Qinghe’s solemn expression, as if they were on their way to the execution grounds. Wishing to speak and alleviate the tense atmosphere, she said, "Qinghe, don’t be so serious. We both know that the outcome will not be entirely satisfactory, and this time I’m likely to suffer in silence. I’ve come to understand that Nan Sheng’s desire to kill me is a fact because if I die, you will surely develop a Heart Demon, and then your Dao Heart would be destroyed. Think about how malicious her plan is. If we sisters harbored resentment over this incident, wouldn’t we also be playing right into her hands?"

"Elder sister, there’s no need to be so despondent. I just want the entire Sky Pole Sect to know about this matter. Even if we don’t have evidence to prove that Nan Sheng intended to murder you, we must make everyone aware. Moreover, elder sister will not suffer this injustice in silence, I will never agree to it!" Shen Qinghe declared with resolution.

Even if this matter did not reach a conclusion, Shen Qinghe was determined to have Nan Sheng repay what she owed elder sister someday.

Shen Zhiyao patted Qinghe’s head, her heart melting, "Our Qinghe has really grown up, now even looking to protect her elder sister."

It was all her fault for not having enough cultivation base, which dragged Qinghe down, otherwise, she wouldn’t have become Qinghe’s weakness.

Once this matter was resolved, her priority would be to focus on her cultivation.

First, they went to Zuo An. Shen Zhiyao explained the situation at the time. After hearing it, Zuo An remained silent for a long while before saying, "This matter is of great importance; you each have your own version of it, and it will require judgement from several elders of the sect."

He knew about the longstanding grudge between Shen Qinghe and Nan Sheng; it was certain that Nan Sheng had previously harbored murderous intentions towards Shen Qinghe, and there was concrete evidence to prove it.

However, even resorting to a Soul Search this time might not provide concrete evidence that Nan Sheng had intended to kill Shen Zhiyao.
