Nan Sheng's first order of business upon returning to the Sky Pole Sect was, of course, to meet Shen Qinghe, the one destined to die as cannon fodder.
She had chosen this particular moment to come back because she wanted to know if Shen Qinghe's engagement to Dongfang Wuya could come to fruition.
Just a few months ago, the memory of her leaving the Sky Pole Sect in a humiliating defeat was still fresh, and what could be more satisfying than witnessing Shen Qinghe being abandoned by Dongfang Wuya with her own eyes?
When Nan Sheng arrived at the Simple Residence Courtyard, Shen Qinghe was practicing her swordsmanship.
Although she deeply despised Shen Qinghe from the bottom of her heart, seeing her wield such domineering swordsmanship firsthand still made her uncontrollably jealous.
It should have been her who was to become the premier female sword cultivator in the Three Realms in the future, so how had Shen Qinghe managed to improve her swordsmanship to such an extent?
