Chapter 6 People from the Yue family came to visit.
Xiao Ke looked at the person standing there, a dark glint that was hard to decipher flashing across his eyes.

"Fifth Senior Brother," Shen Youqing smiled, standing upright with an unseen air of formality, "Where to next?"

"How much did you shop around?" Xiao Ke asked instead of answering.

Before Shen Youqing could answer, a gentle voice, tinged with surprise, rang out.

"Fifth Junior Brother?"

Before the words had even finished, a slender and beautiful woman strode over, her skirt fluttering gracefully.

"Third Senior Sister," Xiao Ke said coldly and distantly.

Shen Youqing, standing to the side, secretly watched this beautiful and gentle woman.

Is this her senior sister whom she has never met before?
Lin Youran glanced at Xiao Ke, then at the pretty, aloof young girl.

Xiao Ke was actually traveling with a little girl?

The sun comes out in the west?

"This is?"

Lin Youran, who was busy fleeing back from the disaster, did not check the news, so she did not know that her master had taken on a disciple and that she now had a junior sister.

"Junior Sister, Shen Youqing." After Xiao Ke finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Shen Youqing, "This is Third Senior Sister, Lin Youran."

Shen Youqing raised her hand in a gesture of greeting, "Hello, Third Senior Sister."

Looking at the well-behaved and obedient little girl, Lin Youran immediately showed a gentle and friendly smile.

Although she didn't know where her master had come from, she really liked this well-behaved and adorable junior sister!

"Hello, Junior Sister~" Lin Youran smiled gently, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "Are you here to buy things, Junior Sister? Is there anything you need? I'll buy it for you!"

Shen Youqing's smile was sincere and polite. "Thank you, senior sister. I don't need anything for now."

Lin Youran had a very good first impression of this junior sister. She was about to say something when her eyes suddenly sharpened, and she hurriedly said, "Junior sister, see you later!"

Before she finished speaking, Lin Youran took off like the wind.

Shen Youqing stared at her third senior sister, who had vanished in the blink of an eye, with a look of curiosity on her face.

Why does it feel like Third Senior Sister is being chased?
A moment later, a handsome man with a refined appearance hurried over. He glanced at the two of them and then left in a hurry.

Shen Youqing noticed something, but wasn't sure.

"Third Senior Sister is rather fickle, with quite a few fleeting affairs," Xiao Ke said to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing's eyes widened immediately.

Is this the Hehuan Sect?
Xiao Ke didn't intend to say much, only saying, "Let's go to the pastry shop."

Shen Youqing said "Oh" and followed.

-

Bishui Pond.

The sun was already setting when the two returned.

Xiao Ke rearranged Shen Youqing's bedroom and then went to the kitchen.

"Fifth Senior Brother, let me help you! I'll be your assistant!" Shen Youqing said readily.

Xiao Ke spoke without hesitation, "Go and tidy up the house."

Looking at that cold and indifferent back, Shen Youqing choked for a moment before going to tidy up the house.

She absolutely must learn to cook!

She must make her fifth senior brother look at her with new respect!

After the meal, Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing sat in the pavilion, holding cups of tea, enjoying a peaceful and leisurely time.

I'm full and a little sleepy.

Shen Youqing glanced at the sky, which was getting dark, and was about to suggest going back to her room to sleep when Hua Yuan arrived.

"Xiao Youqing~" A charming and alluring voice drifted over.

Shen Youqing put down his teacup and was about to stand up to greet them, but a soft hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"Sit down." Hua Yuan casually touched Shen Youqing's cheek, looked at the upright little old-fashioned man, and said with a smile, "The Yue family has arrived."

Shen Youqing, blushing slightly from being teased again, looked up. "Elder?"

I thought they wouldn't come until tomorrow, but they came today.

Moreover, the one who came was the Yue family's most important elder.

The man who walked in slowly appeared to be forty-five years old, with a reserved and unfathomable demeanor.

"Youqing." Elder Yue's stern face softened considerably.

After Hua Yuan withdrew his hand, Shen Youqing stood up and bowed, "Greetings, Elder."

Elder Yue waved his hand, his tone becoming gentler, "Sit down and talk."

Shen Youqing glanced at his beautiful master before sitting down.

Xiao Ke sat there quietly, with an air of detached indifference.

Hua Yuan stood behind Shen Youqing, glancing at Xiao Ke, who sat to the side and seemed to have little presence.

"The Third Elder saw Shen Qiuluo at the Qingyu Sect. After the Patriarch found out, he inquired with Madam Yue and only then did he learn that you had come to the Hehuan Sect." The First Elder Yue's tone was calm, revealing no emotion.

Shen Youqing was momentarily unsure whether the Grand Elder had come to question him or...

"Elder, I like the Hehuan Sect. The Hehuan Sect allows me to continue cultivating the 'Ten Thousand Life Technique'," Shen Youqing explained his purpose in coming to the Hehuan Sect.

Looking at Shen Youqing's serious and earnest face, Elder Yue said slowly, "The patriarch already knows the details of this matter. No matter what, you have been wronged. This is the compensation that the patriarch has asked for for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Yue took out a storage ring and handed it over.

Shen Youqing: ...

He had already extorted one sum of money himself, and now his uncle had extorted another.

I can already imagine my father's heart aching so much he'd almost vomit blood.

I wanted to laugh, but I had to hold it in!
"The 'Ten Thousand Life Technique' is too domineering. You need to strengthen your body. These are what the patriarch prepared: body-strengthening techniques and some Marrow Cleansing Pills and Foundation Strengthening Pills." Elder Yue took out another storage bag and handed it over.

Shen Youqing's eyes lit up.

She was just looking for a body-strengthening exercise method, and this was like a pillow being delivered to her when she was sleepy!

"Please convey my thanks to my uncle on my behalf, Elder!" Shen Youqing happily accepted the storage bag, his eyebrows and eyes beaming with joy.

To be honest, it had been a long time since she had seen her uncle.

I need to find some time to go back to the Yue family home to visit my uncle!
"I know," Elder Yue replied, then said, "Youqing, a low-level secret realm will open in half a month, you need to go there."

Shen Youqing looked over.

Low-level secret realms are not considered dangerous, and with few dangers come few opportunities.

What is she going to do?
Elder Yue added with concern, "The Qi Xu Secret Realm only allows cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage to enter. You'll need to suppress your cultivation level for a while."

Shen Youqing is currently at the seventh level of Qi Refining. With her talent, the only fear is that she might accidentally advance directly to Foundation Establishment.

Although he didn't understand why they had to go to the Qi Xu Secret Realm, Shen Youqing still responded.

"It's best for healers to have a contracted spirit plant or spirit beast to assist in healing. There are several spirit plants that have developed sentience in the core area of ​​the Qi Xu Secret Realm. Your goal for this trip is to find a spirit plant to contract with," Elder Yue said.

Wood-type spirit beasts are rare, and since a suitable one couldn't be found for the time being, she could only make do with contracted spirit plants for now.

Shen Youqing understood, then asked, "Can I only contract with one person?"

Elder Yue narrowed his eyes.

Hua Yuan raised his hand and patted Shen Youqing's head, saying with a smile, "Little Youqing, what do you want to do?"

"The Grand Elder said that several spiritual plants have developed sentience, and I think... the more the better." Shen Youqing looked up at his beautiful master with an obedient expression.

Hua Yuan immediately laughed and gently patted Shen Youqing's head.

Elder Yue was not surprised at all.

"It's not impossible, as long as you can do it." Elder Yue said slowly, then added, "There's no rush for your natal contract; the patriarch is already keeping an eye out for it for you."

Shen Youqing responded.

Elder Yue gave a few more brief instructions and then left.

Shen Youqing got up to see the person off.
