Chapter 76: First Courtesy, Then Force - Shen Youqing

An hour later.

On their way to find Shen Qiuluo, the group encountered spiritual plants five times in a row.

Watching Shen Youqing engrossed in gathering spiritual plants, Shen Xingzhi wiped away non-existent beads of sweat from her forehead and asked with some puzzlement, "Where did that group of people go?"

Their group was not slow, and they did not encounter any spirit beasts along the way. It had been an hour, so why hadn't they found Shen Qiuluo and the others yet?

"I guess we've gone to the core area?" Chu Jianyan pondered before speaking. "When we came in, we were probably on the outer perimeter, but now the trees around us are getting denser and taller, which means we've been going further in."

The rewards from the Spirit Stones are so generous that no team can resist them.

Shen Qiuluo and his team were probably heading straight for the Spirit Stone.

Shen Xingzhi thought about it for a moment and felt that Chu Jianyan's words made sense.

Before long, Shen Youqing and Gu Xingluan had finished picking the spiritual plants.

After harvesting the spiritual plants, Shen Youqing continued searching for people.

As the sun was about to set, the dense, tall trees suddenly disappeared, and a magnificent and luxurious palace appeared in sight.

The group circled around to the main gate of the palace from the side, only to find the gate tightly closed.

Shen Qiuluo's group, who had arrived before them, turned around and looked over.

When Shen Qiuluo saw Shen Youqing, the look in her eyes gradually darkened.

She remembered her father's and master's favoritism. If it weren't for the many recording stones in the secret realm, she would definitely have found a way to get rid of Shen Youqing, this scourge!
"Sister."

"Sister."

……

Shen Qiuluo watched as her teammates, who had been cold and arrogant, suddenly became gentle and kind, her eyes darkening.

He used to be cold and distant towards her, but now he's become a docile dog.

Shen Youqing stepped forward, raised his hand in greeting, and said, "Greetings, everyone."

Looking at Shen Youqing, who had suddenly become dignified and proper, Xiao Ke felt somewhat helpless.

Is this what they call "courtesy before force"?

Shen Quelin glanced at Shen Youqing sideways but didn't say anything.

Unaware of what was going on, Chi Guyuan and the others saw Shen Youqing bow and greet them, and they all raised their hands in return.

Shen Qiulu hesitated for a moment, and just as she was about to raise her hand, Shen Youqing used her footwork to rush over through the flowers and trees.

Having anticipated this, Shen Qiuluo quickly retreated and dodged.

Before the others could react, Shen Youqing and Shen Qiuluo had already started fighting.

It wouldn't be accurate to say they fought, since Shen Qiuluo, who had just established his foundation, was no match for someone in the middle stage of foundation establishment.

Shen Qiuluo wanted to fight back, but Shen Youqing's fist, as big as a sandbag, was too intimidating, so she could only cover her head and run away.

Watching Shen Youqing chase after Shen Qiuluo and beat him, Shen Xingzhi glanced sideways at Shen Quelin.

If this isn't addressed, the sect leader and elders of the Qingyu Sect are watching from outside the water mirror.

Shen Quelin gave her a helpless look.

Try to think positively; at least it was just hitting someone.

Isn't this better than murder?
Shen Xingzhi withdrew her gaze and could only silently pray that the person did not die.

Seeing Shen Youqing's vicious look, like a dog eyeing a bone and refusing to let go, Chi Guyuan reacted and said, "What are you doing!"

As he spoke, Chi Guyuan took out a talisman and was about to make his move.

Xie Changyan drew his longsword and rushed over, his sword energy shattering the talisman that had flown into the air.

Seeing this, Chi Guyuan did not continue to attack, but asked in confusion, "Second Senior Brother."

Seeing that Chi Guyuan wanted an explanation, Xie Changyan said coldly, "Fighting is allowed in the secret realm."

"..." Chi Guyuan was speechless.

Second Senior Brother has really gone a bit crazy.

Seeing that her fifth junior brother Lu Ye wanted to help, Gu Xingluan coughed twice and said, "Don't interfere in what's between the girls." Having experienced it firsthand, she finally understood.

Sometimes it's not that Shen Youqing is arrogant, but that some people really deserve a beating.

Anyway, she liked Shen Youqing's tendency to take action rather than talk.

Lu Ye looked at his third senior sister, exchanged a few glances with her, and then stood still.

There must be a reason why Third Senior Sister said that!
Listen to your senior sister.

Ye Zhenzhou of Lingxiao Sect walked to Chu Jianyan's side and asked in a gentle voice, "Senior Sister, this is..."

“Young Master Shen has a beast-attracting fragrance on him. Before this, he had encountered Duanmu Ji, an inner disciple of the Qingyu Sect. Later, we encountered a Crimson-Eyed Gray-Scaled Serpent in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.” Chu Jianyan said in a relatively tactful way, “This junior sister of the Qingyu Sect and Duanmu Ji are cousins.”

That's enough said.

They all have brains; there's no need to spell it out.

Chi Guyuan hesitated, wanting to say something but unsure how to begin.

As my second senior brother said before, fighting is allowed in the secret realm. Shen Youqing didn't come out looking for trouble right away. In the current situation, it's just a fight, no matter what.

A clear look of disgust flashed across Ye Zhenzhou's eyes.

No wonder Shen Youqing chased after her and beat her up; she deserved it.
"Fortunately, she didn't come to our Lingxiao Sect," Ye Zhenzhou said, seemingly lowering his voice. "We are grateful for her not coming."

Upon first seeing Yan, she raised her hand to her forehead.

There are so many people!
Ye Zhenzhou's hushed voice reached everyone's ears.

The disciples of the other sects all pricked up their ears, eager to hear the gossip.

Under the somewhat helpless gaze of his senior sister, Ye Zhenzhou curled the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Xuan'an glanced at Ye Zhenzhou, his voice icy cold, "What happened?"

"Regarding that incident, Master and the elders had prepared the apprenticeship ceremony gifts, but what happened? They just said they wouldn't come." Ye Zhenzhou scoffed, "Who cares if she comes!"

Their Lingxiao Sect cannot afford to support such a powerful figure!
Jiang Xuan'an glanced at the two people chasing each other, then looked away and said coldly, "Shen Youqing is quite good."

Lin Jinyao and Xiao Ke instantly became alert and looked at the several disciples of Lingxiao Sect.

What do they want to do!
Junior Sister is from their Hehuan Sect!

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?" Yin Zhongyu's wicked voice rang out as he walked up and patted his junior brother's shoulder.

He knew his junior brother well; if it was just about changing sects, A-Zhou could tolerate it.

But he can't stand it anymore now, there must be a reason.

Ye Zhenzhou's face showed no disdain whatsoever. "Fourth Senior Brother, you have no idea. The way she looked at us, Lingxiao Sect, was as if we were some lowly, worthless thing. I..."

Receiving a signal from her senior sister, Yin Zhongyu silently reached out and covered Ye Zhenzhou's mouth.

Jiang Xuan'an's cold, sharp gaze fell on Shen Qiuluo, his large, well-defined hand already reaching for the hilt of the sword behind him.

The Lingxiao Sect cannot be slandered!
When Yan Jian first saw Jiang Xuan'an's appearance, she was completely bewildered.

"I suggest you don't go. Shen Youqing is already in a frenzy. If you go, she might beat you up too," Shen Quelin said coldly.

Jiang Xuan'an looked at the aggressive Shen Youqing, and after a while, he felt that these words might not be just to scare him, but were actually true.

Chu Jianyan quickly spoke up, "This is their business, let them fight it out first."

Jiang Xuan'an glanced at Chu Jianyan, then nodded.

After playing cat and mouse for a while, Shen Youqing sped up and ran, then flew up and kicked Shen Qiulu in the back.

"what!"

Shen Qiuluo fell flat on her face, with most of her body sinking into the soft ground.

Jiang Chenying and several teammates arrived just in time to witness this scene.

Since fighting within the secret realm was in accordance with the rules, Jiang Chenying didn't say anything.

Shen Youqing bent down, reached out, grabbed Shen Qiuluo's long hair, and forcefully lifted her head up.

Shen Qiulu screamed in pain continuously.
