Chapter 7: She Lost Again!

"What can I do for you, Mr. Wuya?" Shen Qinghe asked with a smile.

Dongfang Wuya had intended to expose Shen Qinghe's actions this evening, but upon seeing her bruised face, he nonchalantly took out a few elixirs and placed them on the table, "Feel free to eat these, they will be beneficial to you."

Enticed by the fragrance of the elixirs, Shen Qinghe forgot Dongfang Wuya's command, stepped forward, took one, and sniffed it, "It smells so good, you're giving me such fine elixirs to take?"

Dongfang Wuya fell silent; he had clearly come to question her, but somehow it turned into him giving her elixirs.

Shen Qinghe, drawn by the scent of the elixirs, couldn't help but toss one into her mouth.

After eating it, she felt a pleasant sensation throughout her body, and her face no longer hurt. She stole a glance at Dongfang Wuya and secretly took another, popping it into her mouth as if snacking on treats.

Dongfang Wuya: ...

These top-grade elixirs, which many cultivators could not even beg for, were being treated by her as mere snacks.

He could no longer bear to watch, about to get up and leave when Shen Qinghe looked at him with gleaming eyes, that "adoring" gaze made his scalp tingle.

Unable to reciprocate her adoring feelings, he simply took another bottle of elixirs and placed it in her palm, "Take this for your snacks."

She better not covet his body any longer, craving him was useless!

Shen Qinghe couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at the elixirs, her gaze on Dongfang Wuya becoming even more intense.

Dongfang Wuya quickly left the Simple Residence Courtyard, his steps somewhat disordered.

Shen Qinghe, holding the elixirs, excitedly rolled around on the bed and fervently kissed the medicine bottle several times.

Mr. Wuya had not only saved Elder Shen and her life but also gave her so many Precious Pills; this man was definitely her lucky star.

After Dongfang Wuya left, Shen Qinghe seized the time to cultivate.

Merely overnight, Shen Qinghe felt she was on the verge of Foundation Establishment. But before actually establishing her foundation, she decided to hold off.

If she established her foundation now, her act of pretending to be drunk would be discovered, and there was no need to slap her own face in a hurry.

She didn't sleep all night, yet she was spirited and full of spiritual energy.

Just as she was in high spirits, the outside of the Simple Residence Courtyard suddenly became noisy.

Stepping out in confusion, and upon seeing Nan Sheng kneeling in front of the courtyard, her first thought was that the heroine was indeed not easy to deal with.

When she appeared, Nan Sheng immediately crawled over to her, a picture of frailty with tears streaming down her face: "Miss Shen, I was wrong, please have a large heart and don't take it to heart, Brother Changsheng already scolded me yesterday..."

She was naturally delicate and beautiful, and at that moment, she looked especially pitiable with tears flowing before she spoke.

Outside the Simple Residence Courtyard, many cultivators had gathered at some point, pointing and criticizing Shen Qinghe for bullying Nan Sheng, the weak woman, forcing her to kneel in public early in the morning, showing a wicked heart.

Shen Qinghe pinched herself, managing to squeeze out a few tears, she stepped back, speaking in a flustered manner, "Miss Nan is flattering me too much. Now my father is severely injured and has not awoken, and yesterday Miss Nan even granted me a slap, teaching me how to behave, I... I dare not provoke Miss Nan anymore..."

The crowd then noticed that one side of Shen Qinghe's face was still somewhat swollen, momentarily unable to discern who was right or wrong.

At that moment, another unexpected event occurred.

Perhaps due to being overly emotional, Shen Qinghe's body suddenly swayed, and she fell straight backward, crashing heavily to the ground with her head bleeding profusely in an instant.

For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar.

Shu Xiu, who was also a disciple of Shen Zhuo, quickly reacted, rushing forward to help Shen Qinghe up. Seeing Shen Qinghe's bloodied and pitiful state, she glared at Nan Sheng and said, "It was clearly Miss Nan who snatched away Second Senior Brother first, and it was also because of Miss Nan that Master was stabbed by Second Senior Brother, and he has not woken up to this day. Today, Qinghe was peacefully staying in the Simple Residence Courtyard, yet it was Miss Nan who came to say some incomprehensible words to stimulate Qinghe, causing Qinghe to suffer such a heavy injury. How much further does Miss Nan want to push Qinghe?"

And just like that, she easily placed herself on the highest moral ground.

Previously unaware of the reasons, everyone saw Nan Sheng kneeling down to Shen Qinghe with tears streaming down her face, and they thought that it was Shen Qinghe who had bullied Nan Sheng.

But now, seeing Shen Qinghe with a bleeding head, unconscious, they naturally recalled how not long ago Shen Zhuo was stabbed by his own beloved disciple, all because of Nan Sheng.

When it comes to pity, how could Nan Sheng be more miserable than Shen Qinghe?

After all, Shen Qinghe was the one who was jilted.

How much Shen Qinghe liked Yan Changsheng was something that everyone had seen over the years. With Nan Sheng's arrival, not only did she take away Yan Changsheng, the fiancé from Shen Qinghe's hands, but even Shen Zhuo was in a life or death situation because of Nan Sheng.

Nan Sheng felt the crowd's strange looks and for a moment forgot to continue her act.

Having swallowed a defeat at Shen Qinghe's hands last night, she had thought to gain an advantage today and came up with this painful scheme.

But she had still underestimated Shen Qinghe's ruthless nature.

Shen Qinghe was clearly just an ordinary person, but she staged this painful act in front of everyone without regard for her own life. With Shen Qinghe's fall, she immediately transferred all malice onto her.

She lost this fight again!

She quickly wiped away her tears and struggled to her feet, saying, "It's my fault. Miss Shen got injured; it's more important to treat her injury first."

As she spoke, she wanted to go forward to help, but Shu Xiu avoided her touch, "Please, Miss Nan, stay away from Qinghe. Qinghe has had enough pity, and we cannot afford to provoke Miss Nan!"

Nan Sheng stood there helplessly, tugging at the corner of her clothes with shame, her silent tears falling as she bowed to everyone, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…"

Seeing her pitiful appearance, some male cultivators felt pity for her and spoke up for her, "Miss Nan didn't do it on purpose, Junior Sister Shu shouldn't be too harsh on Miss Nan…"

"Indeed, Elder Shen was stabbed by Brother Changsheng, how can you blame Miss Nan for that? Besides, just now it was clearly Miss Nan who was kneeling and begging Qinghe for forgiveness, how could it become Miss Nan's mistake?" Another male cultivator, who was sympathetic to the fairer sex, spoke up for Nan Sheng.

These male cultivators all liked the delicate and weak Nan Sheng, and upon seeing her silently weeping, they wished they could hold her in their arms to comfort her.

The female cultivators found this scene absurd. One of them stood out and said, "When Miss Nan knelt down just now, Qinghe was still inside the house, she did not force Miss Nan to kneel. And isn't it because of Miss Nan's intervention that Brother Changsheng hurt Elder Shen?"

The other female cultivators nodded in agreement, feeling that this made sense.

Shu Xiu had no time to watch Nan Sheng's pretense; she coldly began, "Qinghe is seriously injured and needs healing. In the future, it would be better for Miss Nan to stay away from Qinghe, lest Qinghe get hurt again because of Miss Nan. Qinghe truly has a weak constitution, not like some people who enjoy acting frail!"

After saying this coldly, she took Shen Qinghe back inside.
