Chapter 13 Entering the Secret Realm
"Junior Sister Shen, you are now at the eighth level of Qi Refining, this secret realm is a piece of cake for you!"

Surrounded by several disciples, Shen Qiuluo revealed a reserved smile, appearing both gentle and proud.

"Junior Sister Shen was able to advance from Qi Induction to the eighth level of Qi Refining in less than half a month. She truly deserves to be called a top-grade spiritual root."

"Junior Sister Shen will surely gain a lot from this trip to the secret realm!"

Amidst the seemingly flattering words of several disciples, a sword cultivator with an expressionless face stood out as an outsider.

Shen Qiuluo glanced at her silent second senior brother, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

Shen Youqing?!

The familiar figure made Shen Qiulu's heart skip a beat, but she quickly regained her composure.

Before going to Qingyu Sect, she heard from her father that Shen Youqing had gone to Hehuan Sect. When she heard this good news, she almost burst out laughing.

Shen Youqing must have been furious to do something so self-destructive!
Well, so be it. Shen Youqing has given up on herself, so let her watch herself rise to the top while she's stuck in the mud!
Shen Qiulu walked straight toward Shen Youqing.

Xiao Ke witnessed Shen Youqing's calm expression quickly turn into disgust, and his cold face seemed to have the word "bad luck" written all over it.

This was the first time I'd ever seen Shen Youqing so openly express her dislike for someone.

"Ah, isn't this my sister? It's been so long!" The coquettish voice carried a hint of ill intent.

Xiao Ke glanced at Shen Qiuluo, then coldly and calmly looked back at Shen Youqing.

It's fortunate that Shen Youqing came to the Hehuan Sect instead of someone else.

Following Shen Qiuluo's words, several inner disciples of the Qingyu Sect also came over, and their gazes toward Shen Youqing were somewhat unfriendly.

The expressionless swordsman did not follow; he stood at a distance, seemingly detached from the situation.

"It really has been a long time." Shen Youqing smiled, rubbing her wrist as if she were missing her dearly, "Seeing my sister, my hands suddenly started itching."

Thinking of what happened half a month ago, Shen Qiuluo's expression stiffened slightly.

Shen Youqing's smile brightened.

"The secret realm is about to open." A deep, clear voice rang out.

Shen Youqing turned his head and looked at the Water Mirror Gate, which was beginning to take shape. He secretly thought about beating Shen Qiuluo again to vent his anger.

Xiao Ke seemed to have been prepared. He took out a pill and swallowed it, instantly suppressing his cultivation to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Shen Qiulu glanced at Xiao Ke secretly, and was immediately stunned by the man's unparalleled handsome appearance.

Immediately, a hint of disdain flashed in Shen Qiuluo's eyes.

He is indeed very good-looking, worthy of being a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. His cultivation level is all due to sleeping with others.

Shen Qiuluo's fleeting contempt, even a hint of disdain, was noticed by Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke.

"If you don't want your eyes, I can gouge them out for you." The cold voice was deep and gloomy, and those beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with frost.

"You actually dare... Ah! Senior Brother Xie?!"

Chang Xufu was interrupted halfway through his defense of Shen Qiuluo. His fingers, injured by the sword energy, trembled with pain. He looked at Xie Changyan to the side with fear and confusion.

Shen Qiulu lowered her eyes, looking pitiful as if she had suffered a great injustice. "Second Senior Brother, what are you doing?"

“Shen Qiuluo, he’s not the type to start trouble.” Xie Changyan’s cold and sharp gaze swept over Shen Qiuluo.

He didn't know Shen Qiuluo well, but he knew Xiao Ke fairly well, and he had his own judgment on what was really going on.

Shen Qiulu looked at Xie Changyan with a hurt expression on her face.

Shen Youqing watched with his arms crossed.

Shen Qiulu's appearance... makes her second senior brother seem like a heartless man, it's really interesting.

Xiao Ke raised an eyebrow and said in a cold and indifferent voice, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. Let me introduce you. This is my junior sister, Shen Youqing."

Xie Changyan didn't speak, but simply raised his hand in a gesture of respect.

Shen Youqing raised his hand in a bow to return the greeting. Xiao Ke had already noticed the disciples' unfriendly attitude towards Shen Youqing, and with a little thought, he guessed quite a bit about it.

"Speaking of which, it should have been Junior Sister who went to Qingyu Sect, but some things happened in the middle and Junior Sister suffered a lot of grievances, so she could only come to Hehuan Sect."

Xiao Ke's words made the atmosphere extremely awkward.

Shen Youqing looked at Xiao Ke with surprise.

What is Fifth Senior Brother trying to do?
Shen Qiulu felt inexplicably uneasy.

"What grievance?" Chang Xufu sneered, saying sarcastically, "It's clearly Miss Shen who looks down on the Qingyu Sect and forces Junior Sister to switch sects! She's just being the one to accuse others first!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiuluo's smile froze, and she couldn't help but curse Chang Xufu for being too talkative.

Shen Youqing was not surprised at all.

Given the animosity shown towards him by those disciples of the Qingyu Sect, it's obvious that Shen Qiuluo was spreading rumors and slandering him behind his back.

Her methods haven't changed.

"Do you have any evidence?" Shen Youqing asked slowly.

Under Chang Xufu's somewhat mocking and angry gaze, Shen Youqing spoke up, "Do you have any evidence to prove that I forced Shen Qiuluo to switch sects?"

Chang Xufu felt that Shen Youqing was being sophistical, and he sneered, "Miss Shen, are you afraid to admit what you did?!"

Shen Youqing raised an eyebrow, looking as calm and collected as if he were watching a clown jumping around.

"Does Fifth Senior Brother know the difference between humans and animals?" Shen Youqing revealed a beautiful and elegant smile.

Xiao Ke readily agreed, "What?"

“This is it.” Shen Youqing glanced at Chang Xufu, her mouth becoming even more venomous. “Humans have brains and can think, but beasts don’t.”

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Youqing grabbed Xiao Ke's sleeve and ran toward the completed Water Mirror Gate.

After cursing, I ran away, leaving that idiot with no way to retaliate, hehe.

Xiao Ke looked at the sly and mischievous Shen Youqing and found it somewhat amusing.

Chang Xufu realized what was happening and was furious, but the culprit had already passed through the Water Mirror Gate and entered the secret realm.

Xie Changyan looked at the disciples and Shen Qiuluo with icy eyes.

At the same time, a venomous gaze was fixed on Shen Youqing, who had disappeared into the Water Mirror Gate.

In the secret realm.

After the dizziness subsided, Shen Youqing found herself on a vast grassland.

There was no one around, and the view stretched as far as the eye could see.

Shen Youqing fell into deep thought.

The Hehuan Sect doesn't have many records of the Qixu Secret Realm, but the Yue family has sent word that she knows quite a bit about it.

What she needs is in the core area, and the vast grasslands are... the furthest from the core area!
After quickly determining the direction, Shen Youqing turned and left.

The secret realm was very quiet and there were few dangers. At least Shen Youqing did not encounter any dangers along the way, and conversely, she came empty-handed.

As you leave the vast grassland, a forest comes into view, with tall, haphazardly arranged trees.

Shen Youqing walked towards the forest.

"boom--"

Shen Youqing dodged, and a fireball exploded where it had been before, igniting the dry branches and fallen leaves on the ground.

As someone with a wood-type spiritual root, Shen Youqing truly disliked fire. Her expression turned cold, and her gaze sharpened.

Feixu Wan emerged from behind the tree, her sinister gaze fixed on Shen Youqing. "You little bitch, today is your death day!"

Xiao Ke can only belong to her!
That little bitch must die!
