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

I can't change this part of Chapter 40.

It was two hours later when Chu Jianyan finished tallying up every resource.

"Is the liquidation complete?" Xie Changyan asked.

Chu Jianyan nodded.

Xie Changyan nodded, then grabbed Xie Siyuan and left.

Back in the lobby, Chu Jianyan pulled out a bench and sat down.

She placed several storage bags on the table, her expression complicated. "If I hadn't calculated it today, I wouldn't have known I gave him so many resources."

Fortunately, she stopped the loss in time. If it had continued, I can't even imagine how much she would have lost!

It has to be said that Junior Sister Youqing is truly her benefactor!

Shen Youqing shook his head.

Talisman masters are really rich!

This strengthened her resolve to become a talisman master!

"Let's go!" Chu Jianyan said with a wave of her hand, "Let's go shopping!"

She's now a wealthy woman who's recovered a huge sum of money, shouldn't she go and splurge a little?
Shen Youqing's eyes lit up.

At this moment, Elder Chu, who had finished refining the pills, came over from the backyard.

She placed one of the carved white porcelain bottles on the table and said in a cold tone, "There are twenty Enlightenment Pills in total, and ten of them are here."

In order to save more Enlightenment Pills for herself, she exhausted her spiritual energy to produce these twenty Enlightenment Pills.

In the blink of an eye, only ten of the twenty pills remained... Oh well, at least there are still ten left, right?

Elder Chu tried to comfort herself, but the more she tried, the angrier she became!

bandit!

These are bandits!
Shen Youqing stood up and bowed to Elder Chu, his tone warm, "Elder Chu, you've worked hard."

Seeing Shen Youqing's refined and polite demeanor, Elder Chu snorted coldly and left without looking back.

Shen Youqing blinked.

just leave?
Not going to talk anymore?

Shen Quelin, standing to the side, had already reached out to take the porcelain bottle with remarkable self-awareness.

Xiao Ke glanced at Shen Quelin, who was distributing pills, and then shifted his gaze to Shen Youqing.

Seeing the slight regret on her face, he asked in a somewhat ambiguous tone, "You took half?"

He thought Shen Youqing would only want three or five at most, but he underestimated Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing nodded, looking at her with an innocent expression, "What's wrong? Did I ask for too little?"

"..." Xiao Ke remained silent.

He didn't even get angry; Elder Chu really has a good temper.

"Why don't you take them all?" Shen Quelin, who had already received three Enlightenment Pills, couldn't help but ask.

Elder Chu hasn't killed her yet, definitely out of consideration for the Shen family, the Yue family, and the Hehuan Sect.

Shen Youqing snatched the porcelain bottle away, her tone icy, "You think you're so great! Who do you think you are? Who am I doing this for? Don't give it back!"

Shen Quelin put away the porcelain bottle in his hand, using his actions to tell Shen Youqing that it was still impossible for him to return it.

Shen Youqing shot him a sharp glare.

Shen Quelin shoved the box containing the Ghostly Orchid into Shen Youqing's hands, saying, "Here, here, here."

Now that he has the Enlightenment Pill, the Radiant Orchid is no longer needed. Keeping that Radiant Orchid would just take up space, so it's better to let Shen Youqing play with it.

Shen Youqing unceremoniously put away the box and then began distributing the Enlightenment Pills.

My cousin, that's something we agreed on beforehand.

And one more! Senior brother needs one too. If it weren't for his suggestion, how could she have obtained ten Enlightenment Pills so easily!

Looking at the white porcelain bottle handed to him, Xiao Ke asked in surprise under Shen Que Lin's sinister gaze, "You still have some for me?" Shen You Qing nodded and said generously, "I was only able to ask for so many Enlightenment Pills thanks to my senior brother's good connections!"

Xiao Ke reached out and took the porcelain bottle, his eyes and brows relaxing, his happiness almost obvious. "Okay."

Seeing Xiao Ke's happy and smug expression, Shen Quelin frowned.

This man... is practically no different from a peacock spreading its tail feathers!
No, can't Shen Youqing sense it?
When Yue Xunzhu arrived, she saw Shen Quelin staring intently at Xiao Ke, his sinister expression suggesting he was plotting how to kill Xiao Ke.

"Here you go." Shen Youqing handed Yue Xunzhu a porcelain bottle.

Yue Xunzhu took it.

Shen Youqing said, "I went shopping with Senior Sister Chu."

After saying that, Shen Youqing and Chu Jianyan left.

Shen Quelin and Yue Xunzhu's gazes fell on Xiao Ke.

Yue Xunzhu wasn't blind, so she naturally saw the porcelain bottle in Xiao Ke's hand that looked exactly like her own.

As for what's inside the porcelain bottle, it's obvious without even thinking.

Jinjin is really generous; she gave away a sixth-grade enlightenment pill without hesitation.

The warmth on Yue Xunzhu's face gradually disappeared, instantly revealing the cold arrogance beneath.

Xiao Ke had no intention of communicating with these two, or perhaps he was simply not one to enjoy social interaction. "See you later."

"Young Master Xiao, I think we need to sit down and have a talk." Yue Xunzhu's unhurried words revealed a strong and domineering tone.

Xiao Ke turned his head to look at the two people in the same camp.

“We have no right to interfere with Shen Youqing’s friendships, but I can interfere,” Shen Quelin said coldly, his tone and attitude matter-of-fact.

Xiao Ke spoke calmly, "But you didn't do that."

During the days they traveled together, Shen Quelin had many opportunities to interfere, but each time he only looked at them with extreme displeasure and never took any real action.

Despite being the young master of a prestigious family, he possessed a rare integrity and uprightness, just like Shen Youqing.

“Your kindness to her wasn’t for any ulterior motive,” Shen Quelin said bluntly. “The only reason I dislike you is because of your intentions.”

He didn't interfere because Xiao Ke was indeed very good to Shen Youqing, but he disliked Xiao Ke because of his own ulterior motives.

The two are not in conflict.

"What are you thinking? Do you like her?" Xiao Ke's cold and clear voice rang out. "If you don't like her, then don't like her. There's nothing I can do to change that."

Shen Youqing was the person who captivated him at first sight, and he neither avoided nor tried to stop this feeling.

But the consequence of this unchecked growth was that the feelings grew wildly like vines, and the rampant growth of these feelings had long since ensnared his heart, making them inseparable.

If someone had stepped in to stop him from the beginning, he might have been able to stop it, but given the current situation, that's impossible!
Looking at the self-righteous man, Shen Quelin really wanted to draw his sword and leave a few holes in him.

Yue Xunzhu looked at Xiao Ke with a slightly inquisitive gaze.

“My kindness to her isn’t without purpose.” Xiao Ke met Yue Xunzhu’s probing gaze, his deep, beautiful peach blossom eyes revealing intense emotion and possessiveness. “I want her to fall in love with me, just as I love her.”

Xiao Ke was never an upright and honest person.

He wanted to make Shen Youqing fall in love with him little by little by slowly boiling a frog in water!

A forced relationship won't be sweet, so he doesn't have to force it. He can take things slowly and gradually, and there will always be a sweet day.

Shen Quelin's fist hardened.

He had never seen such an arrogant man before!
Yue Xunzhu pondered how to kill Xiao Ke without drawing blood.

"You..." Shen Quelin wanted to curse but didn't know where to begin. He raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Ke, "Let's fight!"

“I am an alchemist,” Xiao Ke coldly refused.

Fighting a sword cultivator? He's not out of his mind.

"You're an alchemist, how will you protect Shen Youqing if danger arises in the future?" Shen Quelin asked coldly.

Xiao Ke knew that his weakness was his lack of fighting skills, a point he couldn't refute.
