Chapter 170 - 168: Qinghe Makes Another Breakthrough
Xiao Bai looked at Shen Qinghe with a meaningful gaze, and Shen Zhiyao, noticing this small detail, had a sudden flash of inspiration. Could it be related to Qinghe?
After the meal, Shen Zhiyao enthusiastically saw Xiao Bai out of the Simple Residence Courtyard. Only after confirming that Qinghe hadn’t followed did she ask in a low voice, "Were you driven out of Bixiao Tower by Mr. Wuya because you mentioned Qinghe?"
Xiao Bai hadn’t expected Shen Zhiyao to guess correctly with just one try. Unsure of how to respond, he then heard Shen Zhiyao say, "Actually, you don’t need to say it, I can guess what happened. You probably think Qinghe and Mr. Wuya are well matched, but Mr. Wuya doesn’t like you playing matchmaker, right?"
Xiao Bai looked at Shen Zhiyao in surprise, never having imagined Shen Zhiyao could be so astute.
"I had long asked Mr. Wuya what he thought of our Qinghe, and Mr. Wuya said he only regarded Qinghe as a Sect Disciple. Yet the whole Sky Pole Sect knows how well Mr. Wuya treats Qinghe. To say Mr. Wuya harbors no romantic feelings toward Qinghe, I find that hard to believe," Shen Zhiyao expressed her view.
Feeling he had found a kindred spirit, Xiao Bai nodded emphatically in agreement, "Exactly! The master just doesn’t want to admit to these feelings because the master..."
Seeing Xiao Bai stop mid-sentence, Shen Zhiyao grew even more curious, "You might as well speak plainly. After all, two heads are better than one. Perhaps we can work something out, to bring the two of them together?"
She owed her narrow escape from death to Dongfang Wuya’s timely rescue, and she was also fortunate enough to have consumed an Immortal Pill. Such good fortune was all thanks to Dongfang Wuya’s kindness.
Originally, she didn’t want Qinghe to get involved with Mr. Wuya, but the events of the recent years made her very sure that Dongfang Wuya truly doted on Qinghe.
Moreover, Dongfang Wuya is one of the main characters in the original story. She was actually quite conflicted, unsure whether she should play matchmaker between her younger sister and Mr. Wuya. Perhaps Xiao Bai could give her an answer.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Bai finally revealed the reason, "Because the master will one day leave the Sky Pole Sect. The master once said that he and Fairy Qinghe have different paths, and they will eventually part ways."
