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

Chapter 36 Sima Zhao’s heart is known to everyone

Shen Quelin raised his hand and patted Shen Youqing's shoulder, then put his arm around her shoulder, his cool and magnetic voice carrying a hint of teasing, "Shen Youqing, your charm hasn't diminished at all."

Shen Youqing rolled her eyes at Shen Quelin speechlessly.

“There are two Radiant Orchids. We’ll split them equally, one for each of us.” Shen Quelin withdrew his arm and looked at the Radiant Orchid that was slowly blooming.

“Okay.” Shen Youqing didn’t stand on ceremony. She grabbed Shen Quelin and walked towards the Youguang Linglan.

Xie Siyuan watched the two people walking towards the Youguang Linglan, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, his eyes filled with resentment.

Once Chu Yashi has the Ghostly Orchid, she can bring up the marriage proposal to her mother, Elder Chu!

If he could become Elder Chu's son-in-law, his status in the Azure Jade Sect would rise dramatically, and he wouldn't have to worry about resources anymore. But now...

Everything has been destroyed!

No!

Now that things have come to this point, we have to come up with a plan; he absolutely cannot leave empty-handed!

Xie Siyuan turned his gaze to Chu Jianyan, and a plan formed in his mind.

Chu Jianyan is a woman who is insecure and sensitive, and very easy to manipulate. As long as you coax her a little, she will definitely offer up the Youguang Linglan with both hands!
Chu Jianyan, who was gnawing on a rabbit leg, suddenly felt a familiar yet disgusting gaze fall upon her.

She looked up and searched, but when she saw Xie Siyuan's face, the rabbit meat in her mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

Seeing Chu Jianyan's disgusted and repulsive expression, Xiao Ke said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Chu, don't look at dirty things when you're eating."

Upon first seeing Yan, he nodded in agreement with an air of seriousness, "You're right!"

Chu Jianyan turned her back to the filthy creatures and looked away, and the rabbit meat in her hand suddenly smelled delicious again.

Seeing this, Xie Siyuan's eyes were filled with anger and disdain.

That ungrateful fat woman, doesn't she realize that besides herself, who else would want her?

Shen Youqing and Shen Quelin walked up to Youguang Linglan.

After the orchids had fully bloomed, the two quickly picked them.

Shen Quelin dug up the Ghostly Orchid with its roots and soil intact, preserving its integrity to the greatest extent possible.

Shen Youqing opened the jade box, and after placing the Ghostly Orchid inside, quickly closed the lid, as if afraid that the medicinal effects of the Ghostly Orchid would be lost.

The brother and sister worked together seamlessly, returning after picking the Ethereal Orchid.

Chu Yashi glared at the quiet man beside her, then took two steps forward and loudly declared, "I am Chu Yashi of the Qingyu Sect, and I offer a high price for a Ghostly Orchid!"

Before she finished speaking, countless eyes turned to Chu Yashi.

Chu Yashi felt a little intimidated by the many gazes around her, but the thought of her mother gave her a fearless courage.

Standing to one side, Xie Siyuan was forced to face countless gazes, gazes that seemed to be probing, mocking, and contemptuous...

Little did they know, the guards from both the Shen and Yue families remained expressionless, and as for the two elders, their faces showed no particularly obvious emotion.

Shen Youqing and the others watched indifferently, showing none of the mockery or contempt that Xie Siyuan felt.

Shen Youqing glanced at Shen Quelin, then looked at Chu Jianyan.

Yan fell silent upon first meeting him.

Chu Yashi took a deep breath, raised her hand and bowed deeply to Chu Jianyan, "Fellow Daoist Chu, I desperately need the Ghostly Orchid! I have no complaints about your resentment or hatred towards me, but I was not the one who suggested this idea!"

Xie Siyuan suddenly turned to look at Chu Yashi, his eyes filled with disbelief and a hint of hurt.

"Although I don't know why you insist on having the Ghostly Orchid, it's not in my possession," Chu Jianyan said indifferently.

Seeing Chu Yashi looking over, Shen Youqing raised his hand and waved it away, not giving her a chance to speak, "I'm really sorry, I don't need the money."

Although the Radiant Orchid is only a fifth-grade spiritual plant, it is extremely rare, no less precious than a sixth-grade one. Who knows when the next Radiant Orchid will appear? Since she's not short of money, she has no intention of selling this one.

Shen Quelin ignored him completely and turned his gaze to Shen Youqing, "Where are you going next?"

Shen Youqing went to see the flute carving.

"Let's cross the Crimson Feather Mountains and rest in Qianyu City for a while," Xiao Ke said directly to Shen Quelin beside him.

Elder Shen gave the guard a look.

The guards went up and, in a fairly gentle manner, persuaded Chu Yashi and the others to leave.

Shen Quelin looked down at Shen Youqing, who was engrossed in gnawing on a rabbit leg, and suddenly said, "Let the Grand Elder send you back to Huan Sect."

He had long suspected that something was wrong with this man named Xiao Ke, but he didn't expect that the man would be so unabashed!

His thoughts and attitude were as clear as day!

"No!" Shen Youqing said hurriedly, her words muffled. She raised her hand to cover her mouth, swallowed some rabbit meat, and said, "I want to play before I go back!"

Seeing that Shen Youqing was getting anxious, Shen Quelin pulled him over and bluntly warned him, "You know the Hehuan Sect better than I do. Don't be fooled without even realizing it."

Shen Youqing assumed that Shen Quelin was just being overly concerned and giving her instructions, so she didn't think much of it. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going there for dual cultivation, and I don't plan to find someone to cultivate with."

Yue Xunzhu, the young master of the Yue family who had been quiet for a long time, came up.

He was dressed in white, as white as snow, tall and slender, aloof and noble, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and features as beautiful as jade.

Yue Xunzhu's slightly cold voice was very gentle, "It's not that I'm biased, but the men in the Hehuan Sect are indeed always surrounded by women. If you really want to cultivate together, find some who are a little cleaner."

His words were practically a direct and blatant attack on Xiao Ke.

Upon first seeing Yan, she glanced at Xiao Ke, whose expression was indifferent, and felt a little sorry for him.

When Shen Youqing heard this, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Xiao Ke. Seeing the man with his brows down, she felt a little guilty.

Shen Quelin reached out and pinched Shen Youqing's chin, turning her head back. "Where are you looking? We're all here!"

Shen Youqing slapped her brother's hand away in annoyance, "Fifth Senior Brother is a very good person! Besides, he's not the kind of man from the Hehuan Sect."

At this point, Shen Youqing looked at his cousin seriously and said, "Brother, my fifth senior brother is very virtuous and upright."

Xiao Ke didn't care about Shen Quelin and Yue Xunzhu's words, because his true intentions were obvious to everyone.

But seeing Shen Youqing's earnest explanation, he felt his usually calm heartbeat suddenly quicken.

Shen Quelin turned his head and exchanged a glance with Yue Xunzhu.

"Didn't the Grand Elder ask you to go home?" Yue Xunzhu gently tapped Shen Youqing's head with her finger. "Go back home. Neither of you has seen your father in a long time."

Shen Quelin had no objection.

Shen Youqing pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look over and ask Xiao Ke and Chu Jianyan for their opinions.

After obtaining their consent, the group set off towards Qianyu City in the Chiyu Mountains.

However, because Yue Xunzhu needed to find some spiritual plants, they couldn't be there so quickly.

Upon learning this, Shen Youqing and his sister, along with Chu Jianyan, immediately went to have a friendly exchange with the spirit beast.

After a fulfilling day, the group settled in the inner perimeter of the Akabane Mountains.

With two elders present, there's no need to worry about safety.

Shen Youqing rested obediently in front of the fire, not because she was docile, but because the spirit beasts in the inner circle were all at least at the Nascent Soul stage, and going there would be suicide for her.

After a peaceful night, Shen Youqing began his physical training at the crack of dawn.
