Chapter 345: Chapter 142: I, Chen Chang’an, hereby declare today, Daluo attested to Dao! _1
"Holy crap, is it that serious?"
Upon seeing the lethal sword light, Chen Chang’an quickly moved to the side, narrowly avoiding it.
"You thief, do you still dare to dodge?!"
Then, a woman in a pink long dress appeared before him, her face full of anger. She stared at Chen Chang’an, her eyes seething with murderous intent!
Wang Shiyu was extremely frustrated. The recent defiance of that scoundrel of a Pill Master made the situation of the Sect worrisome enough.
So, she wanted to visit the Spirit Grass Garden to ease her mind, but never expected to find this little thief stealing Spiritual Medicines blatantly.
All other Spirit Grasses didn’t matter as much, but when she looked again, the three Immortal Herbs located at the very center of the garden had vanished.
Immortal Herbs...they were the treasures of the Sect!
Immediately, Wang Shiyu flew into a rage.
Without a word, she furiously swung her flying sword towards him again.
"Immortal, please refrain, I promise I have an explanation. This may be a misunderstanding."
Seeing the woman who suddenly attacked him, plus the words she spoke, Chen Chang’an immediately realized that something was wrong.
He twisted around, grabbing Wang Shiyu’s wrist and subduing her, while he hurriedly began explaining.
At this moment, Chen Chang’an realized he must have actually committed a robbery.
No wonder he had previously thought it strange why there were Spiritual Medicines all over but no powerful Spiritual Beast guarding this place. It turned out that this was someone else’s medicine garden.
As for the Immortal Herbs, he didn’t even need to ask. Chen Chang’an now understood that these were being cultivated by them.
"Hmph! What’s there to explain, you little thief? You steal our Xuantian Gate’s Spiritual Medicines and then try to deceive me?"
"Let go of me! I will fight you to the death today!"
The furious Wang Shiyu wouldn’t listen to Chen Chang’an’s explanations.
This thief, even when confronted with solid evidence, wouldn’t admit he was wrong and instead tried to deceive her.
He deserved to be punished!
However, she was presently restrained by Chen Chang’an and couldn’t break free. All she could do was struggle.
How could this thief be so strong?
Wang Shiyu was incredibly shocked.
"If I let go of you, can you promise not to attack me again?" Chen Chang’an asked.
"I can’t!" Wang Shiyu retorted, gritting her teeth in anger.
"Then I will not let go."
At this moment, Chen Chang’an really didn’t dare to let go of Wang Shiyu.
There was no denying that Wang Shiyu’s cultivation was not weak. She was a Dao Lord of the Six Realms.
For him, a Dao Lord of the Six Realms would normally pose no threat. But, the situation was different this time.
Having just experienced the attack of a time rift, his entire Daoist Foundation was damaged. He didn’t have the strength to fight off a Dao Lord at the moment.
"Young lady, what if we do this?"
"I will let go of you, and you will listen to my explanation first."
Chen Chang’an continued speaking. He had made up his mind that if his explanation didn’t suffice, he would leave without further ado.
Although dealing with Wang Shiyu could be tricky, she couldn’t stop Chen Chang’an if he decided to leave.
However, just as Chen Chang’an prepared to start explaining again, he saw Wang Shiyu suddenly stop struggling.
She threw her sword to the ground, then squatted down and started sobbing, her hand covering her eyes.
She was crying. Although her sobs were soft, Chen Chang’an still heard them.
"Lady, don’t cry, don’t cry. It’s just a few Immortal Herbs! I will compensate you. Won’t I be able to do so?"
Seeing Wang Shiyu crying, Chen Chang’an was stunned.
From a young age, in both his past and present life, the thing he least wanted to face was a crying girl, especially when he was the one who made her cry.
This...this was going to be difficult.
In an instant, Chen Chang’an started to feel somewhat helpless.
So he quickly let go of Wang Shiyu’s hand he was holding and then said,
"Young lady, please stop crying, I admit it’s my fault. I’ll find some Spiritual Grass to compensate you, alright?"
However, before Chen Chang’an could finish his sentence, he saw Wang Shiyu, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly jump up. With reddened eyes, she angrily said to Chen Chang’an,
"What do you know, you little thief? We all relied on those Immortal Herbs to keep Master Zhao with our Sect. Without them, Master Zhao will leave the Xuantian Gate."
"Without Master Zhao, our Xuantian Gate would be destroyed."
Wang Shiyu’s words let Chen Chang’an understand instantly.
So that’s why she had wanted to kill him when they met. There were so many underlying reasons.
Before Chen Chang’an could ask in detail, Wang Shiyu spouted out at him like pouring out beans,
"Our Sect’s original Pill Master deserted us, which was already a disaster for our Sect. Now we finally managed to invite another Pill Master to sit within our Sect, but the Immortal Grasses intended as a gift were brazenly stolen and used by you. Is it true that the heavens want to destroy our Xuantian Gate?"
Looking up at the sky, Wang Shiyu couldn’t suppress the grief and indignation in her heart, and pointed her sword at Chen Chang’an again.
From her posture, it seemed she might attack him at any moment.
However, the next moment, she saw Wang Shiyu suddenly put away her sword.
She looked at Chen Chang’an and said in a resigned tone,
"You can go."
Chen Chang’an was taken aback at hearing her words, and asked curiously, "Ah? You’re letting me go?"
Wang Shiyu nodded,
"The Immortal Herbs were meant to be used by someone. Since you’ve used them, it’s your fate. Nobody else can be blamed for that."
