Chapter 12: I Dare Not Harm

Inside the hall, Shen Wangchen looked at Cang Qiansxue, his brows furrowed, the Yinxue sword behind him hummed, and he also had a cold expression.

Cang Qiansxue quickly raised his hand to show his innocence, “No, Wangchen, do you really believe what your disciple said? My feelings for you are truly—”

“Feelings for me?” Shen Wangchen became even colder, Yinxue unsheathed, he instantly held it in his hand, the sword pointed at Cang Qiansxue, “What feelings do you have?”

Cang Qiansxue was speechless, he felt even more innocent.

“We’ve been friends for hundreds of years, my feelings for you are definitely just the feelings of a friend…” He felt absurd, “We’re both men, besides, when I was the Human Emperor, I also had three thousand beauties in my harem, how could I possibly like the same sex!”

Shen Wangchen tightened his grip on the sword, he slightly turned his head, his jawline was tense.

Seeing this, Cang Qiansxue breathed a sigh of relief.

He truly had a sincere heart for Shen Wangchen, it was pure brotherly love, how could he possibly want to sleep with him?

Of course, a stiff man’s body is nowhere near as good as a soft and sweet girl.

Mu Yunqing stood behind Shen Wangchen, his expression changing again and again. After a while, he said in a low voice, “Master, I suspect…”

He repeated Su Jiu’s inner thoughts from yesterday, including the “awakening consciousness” she mentioned earlier.

Combined with her thoughts just now.

The three of them quickly came up with a certain speculation.

“We’re all characters in a book? Really, it’s so…” Cang Qiansxue found it ridiculous, his lips curled up halfway, then suddenly stopped.

Shen Wangchen looked at him intently, and Cang Qiansxue suddenly felt a chill all over.

Mu Yunqing didn’t know what they were talking about in riddles, he looked at them in confusion.

Shen Wangchen asked coldly, “Do you still remember the conclusion your national teacher got when he divined for you when you were the Human Emperor?”

How could Cang Qiansxue not remember?

It was that divination that made Cang Qiansxue, who had just unified the Nine Provinces and become the supreme Human Emperor three years ago, give up his throne and enter the immortal path.

The national teacher had said that he would fall in love with someone who didn’t exist, someone he couldn’t have, someone who didn’t belong to him.

At that time, Cang Qiansxue, who had conquered the people and possessed the entire world, found it ridiculous.

Seeing Cang Qiansxue silent, the smile on Shen Wangchen’s face also disappeared, his expression gradually became complex, he simply stopped looking at him, his knuckles lightly tapped the table, he turned his head to look at Mu Yunqing, his voice was light.

“Go and call your junior sister in.”

He didn’t dwell on the topic of them all being characters in a book, since this was already a given fact, what they should be concerned about was how to judge what would happen next based on Su Jiu’s thoughts.

Thinking about what Su Jiu had said just now, Shen Wangchen silently looked at Cang Qiansxue, who was frowning in thought, he silently moved away from him, putting some distance between them.

Oh, and there was that rebellious disciple, Mo Lin.

Shen Wangchen asked casually, “Has your junior brother not returned yet?”

Mu Yunqing had walked halfway, when he heard Shen Wangchen ask these questions, he was slightly startled, then he said, “My junior brother said he would be back in two days.”

Shen Wangchen chuckled coldly, “Send him a message, tell him to stay for another half a month, and only allow him to return after he has exterminated the demons over there.”

Mu Yunqing lowered his eyelashes and softly agreed.

Su Jiu had just finished reciting the “Clear Heart Mantra” for the eighth time when Shen Wangchen called her in.

“Master, Uncle Master Cang.” She stood in front of Shen Wangchen, her hands obediently placed in front of her, her head lowered, she looked respectful, who would have thought that she had so many deviant thoughts in her mind.

Shen Wangchen looked at her for a moment, he didn’t let her sit down, he asked coldly, “Do you know what you did wrong?”

Su Jiu knelt down quickly, “I know I’m wrong.”

[I’m wrong for putting poison in the wine, I wanted to sleep with Master, it’s my fault.]

Shen Wangchen choked.

Why did they all want to sleep with him?

Immortal Lord Shen, whose peach blossom luck was unexpectedly booming this year, was speechless.

Cang Qiansxue, on the side, remembered the national teacher’s divination, and couldn’t help but look at Su Jiu.

He couldn’t believe that the person the national teacher had spoken of was this little girl in front of him.

Su Jiu felt a chill down her spine when she was looked at by Shen Wangchen and Cang Qiansxue at the same time, she quickly lowered her head, and whispered, “I know I’m wrong, I shouldn’t have barged into Budo Hall yesterday, I shouldn’t have snatched Master’s wine, I shouldn’t have finished all the wine that Master had specially reserved for Uncle Master Cang.”

“I’m wrong!”

With a clang, she hit her forehead against the ground, Cang Qiansxue subconsciously hissed.

It sounded painful.

Mu Yunqing looked at her from the side, his expression was very complex.

“Junior Sister, you…”

Shen Wangchen’s hand on the table tightened, his voice became colder.

“Besides those, what else?” He stared at Su Jiu, and said sternly, “Your Uncle Master Cang said that there was poison in the wine, tell the truth, Master will forgive you a little.”

Su Jiu’s body stiffened, she couldn’t pretend not to know anymore.

As she looked up, she had already thought of an excuse.

“Master, yesterday, I…” Su Jiu choked, she didn’t know how to say it, she could only vaguely say, “It was indeed related to that jar of Hundred Day Brew, but I don’t know why there was that kind of poison in it.”

She tried her best to look at Shen Wangchen sincerely, her face showed a mixture of confusion, guilt, and shame, “If I knew, how could I have drunk it myself? Besides, Master and Uncle Master Cang are both people I admire and respect, I would never dare to poison you!”

[I dare not harm you, but I dare to sleep with you.]

[But don’t say it, how did Uncle Master Cang know that there was “Three Days of Beauty” in it? Did he also have a reaction? No, how did he detoxify?]

Su Jiu subconsciously looked up at Cang Qiansxue, but she saw that his gaze was fixed on her, his pupils were as deep as an ancient well, she was immediately startled, and quickly retracted her gaze.

Seeing that Su Jiu refused to admit that it was her doing, Shen Wangchen’s face became even colder, his gaze was filled with disappointment as he looked at her.

He had originally thought that perhaps Su Jiu was childish, or that he, as an elder, had not guided her well, which caused her to have other thoughts.

But as long as she was willing to tell the truth, he would always defend her.

But she wouldn’t even tell him the truth.

Shen Wangchen was extremely disappointed in Su Jiu for a moment, he turned his head away, unwilling to look at her anymore.

“Go down.”

His voice was still as cold as ever, but Su Jiu could hear a hint of loneliness and disappointment, she was stunned, she looked up at Shen Wangchen, but he had already gotten up and left.

“Mas…”

Su Jiu subconsciously wanted to call out to him, but Mu Yunqing interrupted her.

“Junior Sister, get up, you don’t know if the poison you got yesterday has been completely neutralized, Senior Brother will accompany you to Elder Lan’s place to see if there is any residual poison in your body.”

Although Mu Yunqing was also disappointed that Su Jiu wasn’t willing to tell the truth to Master, he could understand.
