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

Chapter 30 Eating snacks can easily make you fat.
Shen Youqing looked at these people and belatedly realized what was happening.

So, Senior Sister Chu was going to find the Ghostly Orchid with these people?
Looking at the group of people who couldn't even beat him, Shen Youqing couldn't help but think that Senior Sister Chu had brought them along as a burden.

Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and looked at Xiao Ke to the side.

Xiao Ke lowered his head slightly and spoke in a low voice, his tone knowing, "You want the Ghostly Orchid?"

Shen Youqing did not answer, but smiled in a sly way.

Xiao Ke raised an eyebrow.

Shen Youqing, who is full of wicked ideas, is about to start doing something bad.

Shen Youqing gave Xiao Ke a knowing smile, then walked to Chu Jianyan's side and asked sincerely, "Senior Sister Chu, if I may be so bold, do you need that Ghostly Orchid?"

Although Chu Jianyan didn't understand why Shen Youqing would ask such a question, she still answered truthfully, "Siyuan needs the Youguang Linglan to achieve enlightenment and cultivation."

Shen Youqing nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke knew it was his turn to step in.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, my junior sister has just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and her cultivation is unstable. I need this Ghostly Spirit Orchid to help her consolidate her cultivation.” Xiao Ke’s deep and cold voice rang out.

Just as Chu Jianyan was about to speak, Shen Youqing clasped his hands together and looked at her pleadingly.

"Senior Sister Chu, could you and Senior Brother join forces to help me?" Shen Youqing looked at Chu Jianyan with pleading and expectation. "Spirit stones, magic weapons, talismans, pills—whatever you want, however much you need, I can give it to you!"

Chu Jianyan was stunned by Shen Youqing's grand gesture.

Under the intense gaze of Shen Youqing, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Xie Siyuan knew Chu Jianyan well, and seeing her wavering appearance, he immediately became anxious.

"Jianyan, you promised to find me the Ghostly Orchid!" Xie Siyuan strode up, grabbed Chu Jianyan's arm, and looked at her intently.

When Chu Jianyan looked over, Xie Siyuan's eyes revealed a hint of sadness and reproach.

"Siyuan, I'm not sure I can retrieve the Radiant Orchid by myself." Chu Jianyan was about to analyze the pros and cons with Xie Siyuan. "Now that Junior Sister Qing is offering to pay for my help, perhaps..."

"No way!" Chu Yashi immediately lost her temper. "This Radiant Orchid is mine!"

Xie Siyuan's expression changed, and he looked at Chu Yashi with a pleading gaze, begging her to stop talking.

Chu Yashi was spoiled by her mother, and she couldn't bear to have the precious treasure that was about to be snatched away by someone else.

She glared at Shen Youqing, then looked at Xie Siyuan and said in a spoiled and willful tone, "You said you would give me the Ghostly Orchid!"

"Junior Sister Chu, please stop talking." Xie Siyuan said in a slightly humble and ingratiating tone.

Chu Yashi pointed at Xie Siyuan with her finger, which was almost poking his face.

But Xie Siyuan didn't try to avoid it at all.

"You said it yourself!" Chu Yashi insisted, "Without the Ghostly Orchid, Mother would never have agreed!"

Xie Siyuan stood to the side, smiling obsequiously, seemingly saying something.

In a daze, Chu Jianyan didn't hear what Xie Siyuan said. She only felt her blood run cold and the bone-chilling cold made her want to shrink back.

So it turns out... it wasn't Xie Siyuan who needed the Ethereal Orchid, but Chu Yashi.

In Xie Siyuan's eyes, was he someone who was very easy to deceive?
Anger, heartbreak, and self-mockery overwhelmed Chu Jianyan upon learning the truth, making it hard for her to breathe.

How ridiculous!!
She's a joke!
Chu Jianyan glanced at Xie Siyuan and then at Chu Yashi. She didn't make a scene; she simply pulled her arm out and distanced herself from them.

At this moment, Xie Siyuan disregarded Chu Jianyan and quickly pulled Chu Yashi aside, coaxing her in a low voice.

Seeing Chu Jianyan's pale face, as if she had been covered in dust, Shen Youqing walked up to her and looked at her with some concern.

Coming to her senses, Chu Jianyan immediately spotted Shen Youqing two steps away, her clear, beautiful phoenix eyes filled with worry. Chu Jianyan instinctively tried to force a smile and say she was alright.

"Senior Sister Chu, you don't have to smile when you're sad," Shen Youqing said softly.

Upon first meeting Yan, his polite smile froze, then gradually disappeared.

Xiao Ke said to Shen Youqing, "I heard the sound of flowing water. Shall we go take a look and rest for a while?"

Shen Youqing looked up at Chu Jianyan.

Chu Jianyan answered, "Anything is fine with me."

Xiao Ke walked ahead consciously, with Shen Youqing and Chu Jianyan following slowly behind, and the Snow Crystal Purple-Eyed Cat carrying the camellia following behind.

Li Hanwen and the others on the side did not dare to speak up to stop her, after all, Chu Jianyan's expression was really ugly, and her cultivation level was far higher than theirs, they were afraid of being beaten.

riverside.

The clear, shallow water revealed the riverbed. The river was very shallow, and there were some stones of various sizes along the riverbank. Shen Youqing casually moved a few stones over and put them down, then sat down on one of them.

Xiao Ke had just sat down when he saw the Snow Crystal Purple-Eyed Cat go into the water with the camellia on its back.

Heaven above, I hope that camellia will drown.

Shen Youqing took out a packet of warm pastries from her storage ring. "Senior Sister Chu, these pastries are quite good. Would you like to try some?"

The aroma of food that suddenly filled her nostrils made Chu Jianyan swallow hard, but looking at her own fat and bloated body, she finally shook her head with a heavy heart, "No, Junior Sister Qing can eat."

Shen Youqing shoved the pastries in her hand at him, "I'll go gather firewood!"

"I'll go check on her." Xiao Ke got up and followed.

Compared to Chu Jianyan, Shen Youqing, who was still in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, was more likely to encounter danger, so he was not comfortable letting Shen Youqing run around alone.

Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing had just left when Xie Siyuan and his group arrived.

Chu Yashi plopped down on the rock that Shen Youqing had moved over, looking down on everyone with an arrogant air.

"Jianyan, come with me. I have something to say to you," Xie Siyuan said in a gentle voice.

Chu Yashi's expression turned quite unpleasant, as if she wanted to lash out, but for some reason she held back.

What could be the reason?
It's nothing more than the Ghostly Orchid.

Chu Jianyan asked herself this question in her heart, and with a cold expression, she stood up and left with Xie Siyuan.

A secluded, deserted place.

Xie Siyuan glanced at the steaming pastries in Chu Jianyan's hand and reached out to take them with practiced ease. "Jianyan is so thoughtful. How did she know we were all hungry?"

Upon first seeing Yan Yi, Xie Siyuan missed his target.

Xie Siyuan looked at Chu Jianyan's expressionless face and didn't think anything of it, assuming she was just throwing a tantrum. His tone was filled with helpless indulgence, "Jianyan, you've finally lost a little weight. Eating snacks will make you gain weight easily."

Chu Jianyan knew she wasn't slender and graceful; her arms, legs, and stomach were all fleshy, making her quite robust. But...

No girl likes to be told she's fat, and Chu Jianyan is no exception.

Despite Xie Siyuan's seemingly concerned tone, Yan Que found it extremely grating at first glance.

Xie Siyuan's seemingly casual remark immediately plunged Chu Jianyan's mood to rock bottom, triggering her feelings of inferiority and sensitivity due to her obesity.

“These aren’t my snacks.” Chu Jianyan pursed her lips, her eyes dark and brooding. She defended herself by saying, “Junior Sister Youqing asked me to keep them for you.”
