Chapter 232 - 230: How could he fall for such a heartless and silly thing?
"So the time when Shen Zhiyao was wounded by the Thousand Shadows Divine Sword, yet had no wounds, was it because you dragged her into a time-space rift and saved her life?" Dongfang Wuya had a sudden realization.
"It’s ridiculous that I saved Zhiyao, yet did not dare to tell Qinghe the truth, to lessen her loathing for me," Yan Changsheng said with a bitter smile.
At the time, Shen Zhiyao was nearly out of breath, so he risked everything by pulling her into some time-space rift. Miraculously, Shen Zhiyao’s wounds vanished in that instant, and although she was gravely injured, a single breath hung on, anchoring her life.
It was because she still clung to that single breath that Dongfang Wuya had the chance to revive Shen Zhiyao.
"You’re mistaken. Even if you had revived Shen Zhiyao, you couldn’t have lessened Qinghe’s hatred of you. You hurt not only her most respected father but also stained the honor of Shen’s family, and even more, you inflicted Qinghe with a Heart Demon. I still remember the Qiqiao Festival that year, how she hung on to her last breath, refusing to die so that I would save Shen Zhuo. That day, that year, was supposed to be her death anniversary. Had I not fed her the Immortal Pill, Shen Qinghe would have long ceased to exist in this world. Yan Changsheng, don’t you understand? From the very moment you brought Nan Sheng back to the Sky Pole Sect, your fate with Shen Qinghe was already sealed to be an end of all ties and gratitude," said Dongfang Wuya.
Before Dongfang Wuya came to see Yan Changsheng, he thought that only by crushing Changsheng’s bones to ashes could he relieve the resentment in his heart.
But now, he thought that letting Yan Changsheng live in agony might not be such a bad idea.
Yan Changsheng was already a spent force, and being subjected to such a strong stimulus at this moment, he immediately bled from seven orifices and collapsed to the ground, limp.
Dongfang Wuya knew this was the premonition of Yan Changsheng going mad and becoming obsessed; he withdrew his oppressive aura, and glancing one more time at Yan Changsheng collapsed in a pool of blood, he found it tedious.
Yan Changsheng no longer had the will to live; such a man was pitiful yet detestable, all his own retribution.
After leaving Shaonian Tower, Dongfang Wuya unintentionally found himself outside the Simple Residence Courtyard.
