Chapter 77 Why Did We Come Here?
"Duanmu Ji has been eliminated." The cold voice seemed frozen in place.

Looking at Shen Qiuluo's face covered in brown mud, Shen Youqing's eyes were cold and devoid of warmth.

Shen Qiulu's heart skipped a beat.

What did Shen Youqing find out?!

Neither she nor Shen Quelin were alchemists, so they shouldn't be that perceptive!

Even though Shen Qiuluo's face only showed pain and anger, Shen Youqing knew her too well.

Those subtle changes in expression immediately convinced Shen Youqing that she was the one who did it.

"Shen Qiuluo, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

The veins on the back of Shen Youqing's hand bulged. With a forceful tug, Shen Qiuluo's scream suddenly rose in pitch, and two lines of clear tears slid down, mixing with the mud on her face to form muddy water.

The cold words, as if ringing in her ears, exploded in Shen Qiuluo's heart, and fear and terror surged up instantly.

Shen Youqing is a madman!
Indeed, Shen Youqing is not a normal person.

If anyone makes her unhappy, she will find countless ways to make everyone unhappy.

Jiang Chenying didn't understand what was going on, so he didn't act impulsively. He looked at Xie Changyan and asked, "What's going on?"

Xie Changyan spoke coldly, "Fight."

?

Jiang Chenying glanced at Shen Qiuluo's disheveled appearance and questioned, "Isn't this a one-sided beating?"

Although Shen Youqing was also in a sorry state, it was obvious at a glance that her disheveled state was not caused by Shen Qiuluo.

"..." Xie Changyan paused for a moment, then said coldly, "That's fine too."

Jiang Chenying: ...

"Killing you will only result in a severe punishment for me." Shen Youqing raised his hand and grabbed Shen Qiuluo's neck, his fair and beautiful fingers like iron claws gripping the swan's neck.

Sensing the approach of death, Shen Qiuluo's tears streamed down her face. Glancing at her senior brothers not far away, her voice choked with fear of death, she cried out, "Save me, senior brothers, she's going to kill me..."

Jiang Chenying turned to look at Xie Changyan, who remained unmoved, her expression clearly saying, "You call this a fight?"
Xie Changyan glanced at Shen Youqing, who was cold and stern but showed little killing intent, then turned to Jiang Chenying and said coldly, "If you don't intend to kill, this is just bluffing."

With those claws gripping Shen Qiuluo's neck, isn't that murder?

Shen Youqing moved his hand away, then patted Shen Qiuluo's cheek, his tone suddenly becoming kind, "I won't kill you, I want you to see how Duanmu Ji dies."

Shen Qiuluo looked at Shen Youqing, who had suddenly become gentle, but instead of feeling relieved, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Shen Quelin is not Shen Youqing. He is the future head of the Shen family and the son his father values ​​most. Given his father's temperament... given the Duanmu family's meanness and selfishness...

If a member of a collateral branch could quell the anger of the young master of the Shen family, then death would be acceptable.

But Duanmu Ji is an inner disciple of the Qingyu Sect!
The Azure Jade Sect will certainly not sit idly by!
Thinking of this, Shen Qiuluo felt a little more at ease.

Jiang Chenying stared intently at Xie Changyan.

He asked, "Why are you bringing up inner disciples again?"

Chi Guyuan glanced at Xie Changyan and then told his senior brother the reason he had heard from Chu Jianyan.

“That doesn’t prove that Shen Qiuluo did it, does it?” Jiang Chenying said.

At this moment, without needing anyone else to speak, Shen Youqing looked up and said, "I didn't say I came here to seek revenge. I just came to have a chat with my dear sister."

Communication and feelings.

Seeing Shen Qiuluo's miserable and wretched appearance, Jiang Chenying was speechless.

“There’s a saying, ‘A slap delivered from afar is a small gift but carries great meaning.’” Shen Youqing loosened Shen Qiuluo’s hair. “I traveled thousands of miles to find her. That shows how sincere I am.”

"Snapped--"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Youqing straightened her arm and slapped Shen Qiulu across the face.

A slap delivered with full force leaves an echo.

Shen Qiuluo fell back to the ground, and half of her face swelled up instantly.

Her hands, bracing themselves on the mud, clenched tightly, her head bowed to hide the resentment in her eyes. Endure!
Her father no longer favored her; she had no leverage and had to endure it!
She'll pay back those slaps to that bitch Shen Youqing one day, tenfold!
Shen Youqing frowned, a hint of worry creeping onto her usually cool face. "You hit me and my hand hurts."

Jiang Chenying: ...

The rest:…

With everyone silent, Xiao Ke took a step and walked over.

Seeing Shen Youqing's fair palm with a hint of red, Xiao Ke said, "It is indeed red from being hit."

As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle.

Shen Youqing tried to pull her hand back, but he gently grabbed it. The white powder fell into her palm, and she felt a cool sensation.

Shen Quelin couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The powder that landed in his palm was instantly absorbed. When Xiao Ke withdrew his hand, Shen Youqing curled his fingers and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Xiao Ke didn't say anything, he just put the porcelain bottle away.

Jiang Chenying, who still possessed some humanity, walked over and looked at Shen Qiuluo, who was sitting on the ground silently weeping. Her cold voice rang out, "Can you get up?"

Shen Qiuluo concealed the resentment in her eyes, looked up, her eyes filled with tears, looking aggrieved and pitiful.

"Senior Brother, I've always been at the Second Precept Peak, and the Young Master is my brother... Ouch..." As she spoke, Shen Qiuluo pulled at her swollen cheek, causing her to gasp in pain.

Seeing Shen Qiuluo's aggrieved and restrained appearance, Jiang Chenying reached out and helped her up.

However, the cold words from Jiang Chenying were not what Shen Qiuluo wanted to hear, because Jiang Chenying said, "Shen Youqing said it was just a fight. You can't beat her, so stay away from her in the future."

Shen Qiulu looked at her aloof and cold senior brother, her reddened eyes welling up with tears.

Is the eldest brother showing favoritism towards Shen Youqing?
Admittedly, Jiang Chenying did not favor anyone; in fact, he was considering Shen Qiuluo's feelings when he said this.

After Shen Qiuluo stood up, Jiang Chenying let go of her hand.

Chi Guyuan stepped forward, poured out two pills, and handed them over.

Just as Shen Qiuluo was about to say thank you after taking the pill, Chi Guyuan's equally indifferent voice rang out, "You'd better stay away from her."

Shen Youqing, that troublemaker, is eloquent and capable of violence.

It's best for junior sister to stay away.

Shen Qiuluo's words of thanks stuck in her throat.

However, before she could shed tears and lament, there was a sudden movement at the tightly closed palace gate not far away.

Perhaps because it hadn't been opened for a long time, the heavy palace doors slowly opened with a sickening sound, drawing everyone's attention.

Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke, who were standing together, both looked over.

Just as the palace door opened a crack wide enough for one person to enter, a tremendous suction force suddenly pulled everyone present in.

The magnificent palace was dark and silent, and the sound of everyone breathing was amplified in the stillness.

"thorn"

The sound of candles being lit echoed in the dimly lit hall, and then the candles on both sides of the hall were instantly ignited, illuminating the room brightly.

Jiang Chenying, Xie Changyan, and Chi Guyuan raised their hands and bowed deeply to the front at almost the same time.

“A direct disciple of the Qingyu Sect pays respects to our ancestor, but we do not meet him.”

The crowd, realizing what was happening, raised their hands in a gesture of respect.

A while after everyone's greetings had subsided, a majestic voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

"Why are you here?"

A majestic voice echoed in the empty hall, spreading a silent pressure.

Under the oppressive force, they could barely breathe.

"For training and growth, and also for the Spirit Stones," Jiang Chenying replied.
