Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 122 Is this a way of telling me to avoid it?

"Hurry up and leave," Lin Jinran urged. "With all the resentment and ghostly energy clinging to you, if you stay any longer, something bad is bound to happen."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Jinran had already walked quite a distance away.

Jiang Chenying and the others took off after them.

After they came down from the back mountain, Elder Yue took out a mid-level teleportation talisman and infused it with spiritual power.

In just a few moments, the group arrived outside Qianyu City.

Qianyu City was not deserted late at night; the main street, brightly lit, was still bustling with activity.

Duanmu Rong stood at the city gate, seemingly waiting for someone.

Upon seeing Shen Youqing and his group, she strode over and greeted Elder Yue and Lin Jinran crisply, "Elder Yue, Venerable Lin."

Before the two could answer, Duanmu Rong looked at Shen Youqing to the side, her cold tone revealing a hint of concern, "Youqing, did the mission go smoothly?"

"Everything went smoothly." After replying, Shen Youqing's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Did Madam Rong come to the city gate specifically to wait for them?

"I contacted your mother, and she booked an inn for us to go there," Elder Yue said to Shen Youqing. "Madam Rong should have been called by your mother to pick us up."

Shen Youqing nodded.

After exchanging a few words, the group went to the inn with Duanmu Rong.

Upon arriving at the inn, Duanmu Rong quickly assigned rooms.

Elder Yue conjured a healing array that lit up beneath Jiang Chenying and the others, dispelling the resentment and ghostly energy emanating from them.

After expressing their gratitude, the group, who were otherwise unharmed, returned to their rooms to rest and recuperate.

Before Shen Youqing left, Elder Yue called him back. After lifting the silencing spell, Elder Yue handed the ghost infant to Shen Youqing, saying, "She ate random things before, which caused her ghost energy to become impure. I have purified her, so she won't harm you if she stays by your side from now on."

Before Shen Youqing could reach out, the ghost baby had already pounced on her, its two little hands gripping her clothes tightly.

Shen Youqing reached out and tossed the ghost infant onto his shoulder, tentatively asking, "What does the Grand Elder mean..."

Why does it seem like the Grand Elder wants her to raise this little guy?

Raising a ghost baby... makes her seem like a heretical cultivator.

Is this really possible?

Elder Yue spoke slowly and deliberately, "If you can get rid of her."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Youqing felt the little guy on his shoulder wanting to turn into an octopus and cling to him tightly.

It's impossible to shake it off even a little bit!
Seeing the speechless and helpless expression on Shen Youqing's face, Lin Jinran wanted to laugh, but when he turned his head and thought of his status as an elder, he could only hold back.

"Let's just keep it like this for now," Elder Yue said, then added, "If you're worried, you can ask Sect Master Hua."

What else could Shen Youqing do? She could only nod.

Back inside, Shen Youqing lifted the ghost infant off his shoulder and tossed it onto the soft bed. "I'll cultivate, you rest."

The ghost baby, which was about to crawl toward Shen Youqing, lay obediently on the bed, staring at her with pleading eyes.

Shen Youqing walked over to the futon, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.

The next day.

As soon as Chen Shi (7-9 AM) arrived, Shen Youqing finished his cultivation and went to train his body.

When Shen Youqing brought the ghost baby to the backyard, he saw Jiang Chenying and the other four people already doing their morning exercises.

Practice swordsmanship, strengthen your body, and review basic skills.

According to the rules of the Qingyu Sect, they would probably come over for morning practice at dawn.

Fortunately, she is no longer a direct disciple of the Qingyu Sect!

Seeing the group of people diligently doing their morning exercises, Shen Youqing didn't disturb them. She started exercising with the iron bag strapped to her arm.

After warming up, Shen Youqing jogged slowly around the fairly spacious backyard.

The ghost baby, left aside by Shen Youqing, crawled around on the ground out of boredom, but she did not disturb the group of people who were doing their morning exercise.

People and ghosts do not disturb each other, each doing their own thing, quiet and inexplicably harmonious.

After finishing his physical training, Shen Youqing began practicing boxing.

As for the little ghost baby, she had already crawled under the eaves to hide when the sunlight came in, avoiding being exposed to the sun.

When Yue Shihao came over, he saw a small child hanging upside down on the eaves. This must be the ghost baby that the elder had mentioned.

A gentle and inclusive aura drew the ghost baby's attention, and she tilted her head, staring intently at Yue Shihao a few steps away.

Seeing the little guy looking blankly, Yue Shi looked at him for a while before turning her gaze to Shen Youqing.

The five fellow disciples, who were cultivating, successively discovered Yue Shihao under the eaves. After greeting Yue Shihao, they went back to their cultivation.

After Shen Youqing finished his set of boxing techniques, Yue Shihao spoke, "Jinjin."

Shen Youqing looked in the direction of the sound, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and walked over. "Mother."

Before his mother could say anything, Shen Youqing asked again, "Didn't Mother take her disciples on a training expedition?"

"Just got back," Yue Shihao said. "I'll rest for two days and then continue my training."

Shen Youqing nodded.

"I heard about it from Elder Yue." Yue Shihao took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat from Shen Youqing's forehead, her tone indifferent. "Your father just arrived in Qianyu City this morning."

Shen Youqing's expression softened slightly.

“Since she can come to support you, you can also go and support other teams,” Yue Shihao said to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing was taken aback.

"Mother, are you telling me to avoid this?" Shen Youqing frowned slightly. "Why?"

Shen Qiuluo's injury has absolutely nothing to do with her. Sect Leader Zhang has a recording stone that can prove her innocence, so no matter how biased her father is, he can't blame her.

As for Venerable Lin and the Yue family, isn't it all Shen Qiuluo's fault?
Why would she avoid it?

"Do you really want to anger your father to death?" Yue Shihao retorted.

Shen Qiuluo's condition has been deteriorating, and Shen Lin is unlikely to give up. He will definitely come to Jin Jin to plead for her.

As for why Jinjin was chosen, it's because Jinjin is a junior and easier to handle. As for her brother, the Grand Elder, or Venerable Lin of the Lingxiao Sect, each of them is more difficult to deal with than the last.

In conclusion, Shen Lin would definitely be the first person to approach Jin Jin.

But Jinjin is no pushover. Shen Lin is currently in a slump, and she's afraid that Jinjin might anger Shen Lin to death with just a few words, and then she'd be branded as a patricide.

Shen Youqing: ...

Okay... then.

Shen Youqing nodded obediently.

After finishing her business, Yue Shihao turned and left.

Shen Youqing turned to look at Jiang Chenying and the others.

Jiang Chenying said coldly, "I'll go ask Master. Second Brother, you go ask Young Master Xiao."

Shen Youqing nodded.

Xie Changyan sheathed his wooden sword and walked towards Xiao Youqi's house.

A quarter of an hour later.

The seven people gathered in the lobby.

“There’s a team on a mission near the Crimson Feather Mountains. We’re going there to provide support,” Jiang Chenying said.

Xiao Youqi, having learned what had happened, said nothing, taking it all as a learning experience.

No sooner had the group left than Shen Lin and Elder Shen the Second arrived.

When Shen Lin learned from Yue Shihao that Shen Youqing had left, he was not surprised at all.

Looking at Shen Lin, who was sitting to the side with no intention of leaving, Yue Shihao said in a cold voice, "I suppose Sect Leader Zhang has already told you that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Jin Jin."

Shen Lin nodded, then, thinking of Shen Qiuluo who was unconscious, he could only force himself to speak, "Shi Hao..."

"Instead of begging, you should beg Arong instead," Yue Shihao suggested.

"..." Shen Lin choked as she spoke, "You didn't know that she and Qiu Luo had severed their mother-daughter relationship?"

Yue Shihao was indeed unaware of this matter, and she raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Don't beg me." Duanmu Rong's cold, deep voice came from upstairs.

Shen Lin looked up.

A moment later, Duanmu Rong came down the stairs.
