Chapter 58 058 Shen Zhiwei knew that this didn't really mean she had a temper...
Shen Zhiwei inwardly cursed, "Does Rong Yue know what she has done to deserve this?"
By this time, Rong Yuejun had been gone for a while. Shen Zhiwei gently moved her fingers, manipulating the puppet strings, and a dark figure appeared, which was none other than the Puppet of the Greedy Wolf.
Shen Zhiwei naturally wouldn't let the Puppet of Greed Wolf get too far away from her.
Even if she wasn't acting on Rong Yuejun's orders, she could have said something that would have been more diplomatic; there was no need to break things off in such a private setting.
After all, the two were alone, with no one around and only a corpse on the ground, making it a perfect opportunity to kill and cover up the crime.
Shen Zhiwei wasn't incapable of speaking to people in a human way or to ghosts in a ghostly way.
But Shen Zhiwei did this on purpose.
After all, being alone together is indeed a suitable situation for murder to silence witnesses.
If Rong Yuejun cannot tolerate her, the most efficient and least resistant way to attack the Rong family head right now is to do so, and the resulting public pressure will not fall on Bixia Faction and Shen Zhiwei.
Of course, Rong Yuejun did not intend to kill, so Shen Zhiwei had no need to risk it.
After all, the puppet of the Greedy Wolf no longer covers the realm of immortals.
Shen Zhiwei paced back and forth a few steps, reflecting on their conversation.
First of all, Rong Yuejun's words are domineering and unpleasant, making him quite annoying.
Then there's the fact that although the Rong and Xie families are allies and have many intermarriages, they are not harmonious with each other. In short, they just make do with each other.
Shen Zhiwei gently raised her head, her eyes thoughtful.
She thought for a moment, then lowered her head and brushed aside her communication stone.
Li Yao had just sent a message mentioning that Xiao Chan was alright, and Shen Zhiwei, being meticulous, had also placed some restrictions on Shen Xiao Chan, allowing her to know Xiao Chan's safety immediately.
In conclusion, Shen Xiaochan should be unharmed.
However, after answering the call, Shen Zhiwei still revealed a hint of deliberate urgency: "Xiao Chan, are you alright?"
The other person paused for a moment, then slowly replied, "It's alright."
It was Xie Qingyu's voice.
This was also within Shen Zhiwei's expectations. The sleeping talisman had not been lifted, and Xie Qingyu was the person next to Shen Xiaochan at this moment.
Xie Qingyu could easily remove the sleeping spell from Shen Xiaochun, but Shen Zhiwei guessed that Xie Qingyu would take the initiative to communicate with Xiaochun using the Swift Stone.
Shen Zhiwei's face remained calm, but her voice was hoarse with surprise: "Xie Qingyu, how could it be you?"
Xie Qingyu said softly, "The lower realm is dangerous. I'll take Xiao Chan back to Yuan Yuan Tian first. Don't worry, she'll be perfectly fine."
Shen Zhiwei deliberately remained silent.
After a moment of silence, Xie Qingyu spoke up: "I just sent a message to my junior sister, hoping she would return to Yuan Yuan Tian soon. Did you meet her? Did she give you any trouble?"
When Xie Qingyu spoke like this, it was as if he was protecting Shen Zhiwei.
It was Rong Yuejun who made things difficult for Shen Zhiwei, and given the vast difference in their social statuses, Shen Zhiwei definitely needed to be protected.
Shen Zhiwei paused for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I have done the Rong family a favor this time, so the Rong family head ultimately allowed Xiao Chan to stay in Tianyuan Prefecture. Thank you, Sect Master. If I want Bixia Sect to advance to the third level of the Heavenly Realm, what are your thoughts?"
Without the permission of the immortal families of Yuan Yuan Tian, sects in the lower realms cannot ascend to the third level of heaven.
Xie Qingyu seemed a little surprised, then slowly said, "Is your junior sister making things difficult for you? I will help you resolve this matter and will never let her hurt you."
Shen Zhiwei deliberately avoided mentioning Rong Yuejun's attempt to win her over. This was because comparisons were the worst thing; in this way, Xie Qingyu was not even as generous as Rong Yuejun.
The styles of the Rong and Xie families are very different.
Rong Yuejun has a fiery temper; she'll slap you and then give you a sweet treat. She's even cruel to her own son, making him a loyal supporter who thrives on abuse.
Sect Leader Xie was always polite, courteous, and refined, but his words never quite reached the point of being substantial. His ambiguous remarks always seemed to conceal a hidden hope, containing a hint of knowing something.
Shen Zhiwei: "That's really unnecessary!"
At this point, Shen Zhiwei turned off the communication stone.
She seems to have quite a temper.
However, Shen Zhiwei knew that this didn't really mean she had a temper.
If he truly had a temper, he should have recounted what happened back then, asking Xie Qingyu if he had any conscience and how he deserved to be Shen Xiaochan's father. A scumbag who used his pregnant wife to shield her from demonic beasts still has the nerve to act all lovey-dovey; it's utterly disgusting.
This little bit of temper is nothing, just a cold shoulder and a minor tug-of-war. Xie Qingyu won't really get angry; at most, she'll just feel a little itchy.
The result of the trial was not as good as Shen Zhiwei's intention.
Although Xie Qingyu outwardly favored Shen Zhiwei, it was merely an illusion created by her gentle words.
Shen Zhiwei concealed Rong Yuejun's advances beforehand, because if Shen Zhiwei refused and was then protected by the Xie family, it would seem that Xie Qingyu was deliberately humiliating Rong Yuejun.
Rong Yuejun acts on impulse, which has a kind of beauty that disregards the bigger picture, and Xie Qingyu certainly doesn't want to offend her.
Even though Shen Zhiwei didn't say anything, Xie Qingyu still avoided the topic and wouldn't utter a single truth.
Although the Rong and Xie families are allies, they have a grudge against each other.
The Rong and Xie families have a grudge against each other, but they remain allies.
Shen Zhiwei's lips twitched slightly. It seemed quite difficult to turn Rong and Xie into enemies based on these old emotional entanglements.
The main reason is that Xie Qingyu has great ambitions, and there is also Mu Wuxian above him, so he intends to win over the Rong, Ling and Xie families.
Xie Qingyu clearly did not like the young master Mu, who was above the immortal level.
Therefore, Xie Qingyu would not easily fall out with Rong Yuejun.
Shen Zhiwei gently brushed a strand of hair with her fingers, a slow smile spreading across her lips. She thought to herself that things are not impossible, and there might still be a chance.
The events of that year seem shrouded in a mist, hazy and unclear, impossible to fathom.
Now that the fog has dissipated somewhat, Xie Qingyu appears before her eyes.
It's quite a coincidence that Xie Qingyu was a true enemy of both the original owner of this body and herself. Therefore, Xie Qingyu was born to be her adversary, an enemy she was meant to eliminate.
Jiang Bin is dead, so Xie Qingyu will be next.
At this moment, Xie Qingyu held the message stone in her hand, silent and lost in thought.
Having seen so much, he was no longer a virtuous and upright person, and naturally began to think about things in a mundane way.
He felt that Shen Zhiwei had a hidden meaning in her words, clearly indicating that she wanted to improve herself.
Perhaps heartbroken, Shen Zhiwei is now focused on her career, which is not surprising.
He knew he didn't want Shen Zhiwei to be too flamboyant, so naturally he wouldn't allow it.
When that thought crossed his mind, Xie Qingyu paused, ultimately unwilling to deceive himself. In any case, he did have some consideration for Rong Yuejun. At the very least, he didn't want to cause a rift between the Xie and Rong families because of a woman.
For some reason, a rare feeling of irritability welled up in Xie Qingyu's heart.
Rong Yuejun is really too willful. Perhaps Rong Yuejun is unwilling to reconcile with Xie Qingyu, but she absolutely does not want Xie Qingyu to have feelings for someone else.
Those thoughts swirled in Xie Qingyu's mind a few times, but she ultimately suppressed them.
Xie Qingyu considered herself to be someone who always prioritized the big picture.
His fingertips touched Shen Xiaochun's cheek; she was his daughter, his blood relative. The first time they met, when his fingers touched the top of Shen Xiaochun's head, he felt a similar blood connection.
However, Xie Qingyu didn't think much of it at the time.
Xie Qingyu lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside.
Rong Xiao continued to travel on his sword.
At a mere ten years old, having experienced such an ordeal, and with his clothes stained with wolf blood, Rong Xiao rode his sword alone, his expression cold and indifferent. It was as if he had not been shocked in the slightest, remaining as aloof as ever.
Looking at Rong Xiao like this, Xie Qingyu suddenly felt a sense of disgust, and couldn't feel any affection for him.
Perhaps he treated Shen Zhiwei differently after all; he still preferred people who were completely different from himself. For example, he instructed his younger brother that if Shen Zhiwei came to Yuan Yuan Tian and tried to spout nonsense, then his cultivation should be crippled.
The fact that she had her cultivation destroyed, rather than being forced to die, proves that Xie Qingyu was soft-hearted.
The first time I met Shen Zhiwei was when he was seriously injured and unconscious.
At that time, Xie Qingyu was injured and fled to the lower realm. In her unconscious state, a graceful and slender figure could be vaguely seen.
Then a soft, warm hand pressed against Xie Qingyu's forehead, and he heard a gentle, delicate female voice asking, "Are you alright?"
There was a faint medicinal fragrance on the other person's clothes, which was refreshing and pleasant.
Later he learned that the Bixia Sect was engaged in alchemy, which is why Shen Zhiwei had a faint medicinal fragrance all over his body.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in the Bixia Sect.
The first thing that catches the eye is a captivating face.
Although she was a female cultivator from the lower realm, Shen Zhiwei was very beautiful and had a gentle appearance.
Having experienced life and death, he suddenly felt weary of the power struggles and, coupled with the damage to his physical body and martial arts, even considered retiring and returning to a life of seclusion in the countryside. Exhausted by everything that had happened, Xie Qingyu suddenly wanted to lie down.
He genuinely wanted to be with Shen Zhiwei back then.
However, after that, Xie Qingyu found her state of mind at that time quite ridiculous, and she could hardly remember those emotions.
Unexpectedly, when I saw Shen Zhiwei again, she was even more charming and beautiful.
For a fleeting moment, Xie Qingyu also felt a sense of wariness. Perhaps Shen Zhiwei hadn't forgotten the past and was plotting revenge?
However, Xie Qingyu thought about it carefully and felt it didn't seem likely. It would be abnormal for Shen Zhiwei not to mention the previous events at all. Although Shen Zhiwei appeared amiable on the surface, she secretly revealed a hint of resentment and anger. Even when Xie Qingyu extended an olive branch several times, Shen Zhiwei rejected it all.
Xie Qingyu was naturally suspicious, and although she had some doubts and concerns, her mind calmed down a bit when she thought about this.
At this moment, Shen Xiaochun's eyelids trembled, and she looked like she was about to wake up.
Xie Qingyu naturally noticed it as well.
