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

Chapter 5 Going down the mountain
Shen Youqing hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, but his daily cultivation has caused such a commotion?

Is it a problem with the technique?

After feeling her spiritual energy briefly reach saturation, Shen Youqing stopped cultivating. When she opened her eyes, she met Xiao Ke's deep and slightly probing gaze, and was immediately startled.

When did Fifth Senior Brother arrive?
Shen Youqing quickly stood up.

She was pondering where to find some body-strengthening techniques; the "Ten Thousand Life Technique" was too domineering, and she couldn't withstand it without body-strengthening.

"Your cultivation technique..." Xiao Ke paused halfway through his sentence, "I misspoke."

The cultivation techniques are scarce, and they are not yet proficient in them, so his question was somewhat presumptuous.

“It’s the ‘Ten Thousand Life Technique’,” Shen Youqing answered frankly and directly. “The Yue family’s ‘Ten Thousand Life Technique’ is very suitable for me, but this technique is a bit domineering.”

Faced with Shen Youqing's candor, Xiao Ke was speechless for a moment.

The Yue family's "Ten Thousand Life Technique" is the most advanced wood-type cultivation method. Is she really not afraid that she has ulterior motives?

He doesn't seem like someone without a mind of his own, so why is he so honest?

He seemed to understand a little better why his master liked to tease Shen Youqing...

Seeing that Xiao Ke remained silent, Shen Youqing blinked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Defenses can not do without."

Looking at the aloof and distant Xiao Ke, Shen Youqing smiled and said, "You are the fifth senior brother."

She has a very keen sense of right and wrong, and Xiao Ke has no ill intentions towards her.

Xiao Ke: ...

It seems I understand now why my master sent Shen Youqing here.

"Are you going down the mountain?" Xiao Ke abruptly changed the subject.

"Huh?" Shen Youqing was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously, "Can new disciples go down the mountain at will?"

Instead of answering, Xiao Ke asked, "Do you want to?"

"Yes," Shen Youqing answered without hesitation.

She hadn't seen what the area at the foot of Hehuan Sect Mountain looked like yet; there should be plenty of delicious food and fun things to do there!
Seeing Shen Youqing's expectant look, Xiao Ke said, "Come here."

Shen Youqing dusted himself off and ran over excitedly.

After passing through two teleportation arrays, Shen Youqing, standing at the mountain gate, felt very dizzy.

Improving physical fitness is an urgent matter!

Looking at the dazed Shen Youqing, Xiao Ke's cold voice rang out, "I apologize for the offense."

Before he finished speaking, an arm wrapped around Shen Youqing's waist. Even though there were several layers of clothing between them, the warmth from the arm continued to radiate through him.

With a quick pull of her arms, her back pressed against the man's warm, broad chest.

Shen Youqing felt as if she had fallen into a furnace, her nostrils filled with the medicinal fragrance of Xiao Ke's body, and she subconsciously tensed up.

Before she could say anything, her body was suddenly lifted into the air.

The cool breeze made Shen Youqing realize that Xiao Ke was carrying him on a sword, but... never mind.

Shen Youqing dared not move, her gaze fixed firmly on the passing scenery, trying her best to ignore the man behind her.

Looking at Shen Youqing, who was stiff as a piece of wood, Xiao Ke lowered his eyes and then saw that her delicate white earlobes were covered with a layer of rosy blush.

Is she... shy?

cute.

Xiao Ke's eyes darkened slightly.

Taking advantage of the fact that Shen Youqing couldn't see him, the suppressed darkness and emotions in his eyes surged up unrestrainedly.

A quarter of an hour later.

The two landed at the city gate.

After landing, Xiao Ke very gentlemanly withdrew his arm.

Shen Youqing quickly took two steps back, and his tense body relaxed considerably.

Xiao Ke suppressed his emotions and stared intently at Shen Youqing with a calm and indifferent gaze.

Feeling guilty under her gaze, Shen Youqing explained, "It's not that I... dislike Fifth Senior Brother, it's just that I'm not used to being so close to others."

Xiao Ke didn't say anything. He sheathed his longsword and walked towards the city gate.

Shen Youqing took off after him.

at the same time--

Qingyu Sect. Shen Qiu, who was in Qingyu Sect, knelt on the cold, hard ground for almost an hour.

The elders had not yet read a third of the clan rules.

Shen Qiuluo's knees and legs were almost numb, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself to endure it.

If Shen Youqing can do it, why can't she?

Half an hour later, the long and tedious clan rules were finished being read. Before Shen Qiulu could even speak, a powerful and forceful spiritual force directly destroyed her current cultivation.

"puff--"

Shen Qiuluo spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body, devoid of spiritual power, could not withstand the pain and collapsed to the ground.

"Now that you've come to the Azure Jade Sect, you must learn the sect's techniques. Your previous techniques are no longer necessary." The authoritative voice echoed in the empty hall, sounding exceptionally cold and ruthless.

Neither of the elders on either side spoke, as if it were commonplace.

"Find a disciple to take her to her lodgings to rest for the night." The sect leader of Qingyu Sect was authoritative and indifferent. "She will begin cultivation tomorrow."

Shen Qiulu was helped away from the main hall by two female disciples and went to the residence of the main peak's personal disciples.

Shen Qiulu forced a smile and thanked the two disciples, then gave them a few spirit stones.

After the two disciples left, Shen Qiuluo lay on the cold stone slab, her face very pale.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and this is her first step to becoming stronger!

-

Xiangluo City.

When Shen Youqing reached the main street, she couldn't walk any further. At that moment, all she could see were the food stalls on both sides of the street.

Flower cakes, sugar pancakes, wontons, meat buns...

The enticing aroma in the air made Shen Youqing swallow hard.

It smells so good!

Xiao Ke took two steps and saw that Shen Youqing hadn't followed. He turned around and saw that the man's shiny eyes were staring at the steaming steamer.

"I need to go to Danlou." Xiao Ke's indifferent voice was highly recognizable in the noisy environment.

Shen Youqing reluctantly looked away and gazed at Xiao Ke.

"It will take me about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to get to Danlou. You can wander around here for a while, but don't go too far," Xiao Ke said.

Xiangluo City is relatively safe; in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, she can browse at most six or seven food stalls.

"I won't run around," Shen Youqing said obediently.

Xiao Ke responded and turned to stride towards the Danlou.

Shen Youqing turned around and went to the steamed bun stall.

Seeing Shen Youqing looking around with curiosity, the stall owner chuckled and asked, "What would you like to eat, young lady?"

"What's all this?" Shen Youqing asked.

"This is a meat bun, and this is a bun with brown sugar filling..." the stall owner enthusiastically introduced.

Shen Youqing waved his hand and said, "Ten of each kind, packed separately!"

Although she had no experience buying snacks, she figured it was similar to buying magical artifacts and pills, so it wouldn't be difficult for her!

The stall owner looked at the thin Shen Youqing with surprise for a moment before quickly packing her up.

"There are 120 buns in total, which is 235 spirit stones. I'll round it down to 230!"

Shen Youqing put the buns into the Green Branch Entwined Flower Bracelet, then took out a pile of spirit stones from the storage ring and placed them on the empty table to the side.

After verifying that everything was correct, the stall owner quickly put away the spirit stones, then picked up a meat bun, wrapped it in oil paper, and handed it over.

"Thank you." Shen Youqing held the hot buns and turned to go to the next stall.

……

As Xiao Ke emerged from the Danlou, he immediately spotted Shen Youqing.

Seeing the person standing there quietly as if waiting for him, Xiao Ke's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

There are so many food stalls, she couldn't possibly visit them all, so... did she come here specifically to wait for him?
