Chapter 161 - 159: Agony Beyond Bearing
"Master, on the day you were injured, were you also severely ill?" Yan Changsheng ultimately couldn’t help but ask.
Upon recalling the events of that day, Shen Qinghe smiled silently, "Let’s not talk about the past; it’s meaningless."
She lifted her foot to leave, but Yan Changsheng blocked her way, "Qinghe, I want to know how you were able to cultivate. Did Mr. Wuya help you?"
He had heard that Mr. Wuya was Qinghe’s benefactor.
He also remembered that after he brought Nan Sheng back to the Sky Pole Sect, he was confined in the Nether Pool for a month for having injured his Master; during that time, he had not seen Qinghe.
Latterly, his attention had been focused on Nan Sheng, leaving no spare focus to care for others, and Qinghe was one of those others.
Shen Qinghe looked at the familiar male face before her, somewhat puzzled, "If you know that there’s no point in discussing the past, why are you still so persistent about it?"
Yan Changsheng stubbornly sought the answer, "I just want to know if it was Mr. Wuya who saved you, how you were able to cultivate, you were clearly ill at the time..."
When Shen Qinghe heard this, she interrupted him, "Since you insist on knowing, I’ll tell you. The day you brought Nan Sheng back to the Sky Pole Sect should have been the anniversary of my death. If not for Mr. Wuya, I would have died that day. Nan Sheng was originally a mortal, but she took an Immortal Pill, hence she had the chance to cultivate. Actually, I am the same as her; my body was that of a mortal’s and incapable of cultivation. It was Mr. Wuya who made me consume an Immortal Pill, and that’s why I survived."
No sooner had her words fallen than she saw Yan Changsheng’s expression – it was a mixture of laughing and crying, "So it was like this, it truly was like this..."
He had told himself that there was still a chance for redemption, yet after hearing Qinghe’s words, he felt that on the very day he brought Nan Sheng back to the Sky Pole Sect, it was impossible for him to return to Qinghe’s side.
