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

Chapter 85 Locusts crossing the border
Shen Youqing nodded, then waved his hand in refusal, saying, "Senior brother, you can keep it yourself."

With so many storage bags, if she were to accidentally lose even one, she would become a sinner.

Xiao Ke's deep, captivating peach blossom eyes stared straight at Shen Youqing, as if a thousand words were unspoken within them.

Shen Youqing silently shifted his gaze.

Lin Jinyao crossed her arms and looked at Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing with a somewhat ambiguous gaze. "Fifth Junior Brother, you're entrusting such an important thing to Junior Sister for safekeeping. Aren't you really afraid that Junior Sister will become the target of everyone's criticism?"

Shen Youqing gave her second senior sister an approving look, and then said to Xiao Ke, "I think second senior sister is right."

Amid Xiao Ke's disappointed and gloomy gaze, Shen Youqing spoke righteously and solemnly, "Senior brother, you know that I am only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and need to consolidate my realm. If I were to accidentally lose it, I would be committing a grave sin."

Chu Jianyan and Gu Xingluan exchanged a glance, and then openly stood aside to watch.

Looking at Shen Youqing's desperate attempt to refuse, Xiao Ke uttered a startling question: "Are you trying to distance yourself from me?"

!

Shen Youqing's eyes widened suddenly as if she were frightened; she looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and whose fur had stood on end.

Shen Quelin looked up alertly.

The people standing nearby immediately looked at the two with excitement and gossip.

Something happened between these two that they don't know about!
"Have……"

Xiao Ke had only uttered one word when Shen Youqing swiftly snatched the string of storage bags. "Not unfamiliar! I'll take them!"

Shen Quelin's sharp gaze fell upon Xiao Ke.

damn thing!
Xiao Ke's eyebrows relaxed, and his slightly bright peach blossom eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight.

Shen Youqing turned her head and saw an identical face. Startled, she said irritably, "Shen Quelin, what are you doing!"

Shen Quelin stared intently at Shen Youqing. "What are you doing?"

Something's not right between her and Xiao Ke!

"What are you doing?" Shen Youqing pushed Shen Quelin away irritably, then shook his hand dismissively.

Shen Quelin stared straight at Shen Youqing, his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes revealing a cold, sharp edge.

Shen Youqing glanced at Shen Quelin with disdain, then turned and walked over to stand with Chu Jianyan and the others.

Chu Jianyan looked at Shen Youqing with gentle eyes, "You weren't injured when you were traveling alone before, were you?"

"It's nothing," Shen Youqing replied obediently.

Gu Xingluan looked at Shen Youqing, curious but did not ask any questions.

After Xie Changyan and Ji Fuchuan returned, the group continued their search for other spiritual plants.

"The group I eliminated were inner disciples of the Qingyu Sect," Xiao Ke said.

Shen Xingzhi spoke up, "We just eliminated Ming Jixue."

Shen Youqing quietly followed along, arranging the spiritual plants in the storage bag.

Xiao Ke followed Shen Youqing at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, ignoring Shen Quelin's murderous gaze.

After walking for a while, Xiao Ke suddenly said to Shen Youqing, "I asked around before, and there are only nine days left."

Shen Youqing stopped in her tracks. "Half the time has passed?!"

Did she spend that long in the main hall?
Xiao Ke responded.

Shen Youqing pondered for a moment, then speculated, "Perhaps it's because we stayed in the cave for too long?"

Inside the grotto, there was no distinction between day and night, and she was so engrossed in drawing talismans that she didn't notice the passage of time at all.

“It’s possible.” Xiao Ke said, then spoke up, “After the alchemy was finished, Jiang Chenying disappeared, and I was sent out. The others should have been the same.”

"It seems Jiang Chenying has inherited the art of alchemy," Shen Youqing said happily.

Seeing Shen Youqing's relaxed expression and genuine happiness, Shen Xingzhi chuckled and said, "Why do I feel like you're even happier than Jiang Chenying?"

"Isn't it because I'm afraid Shen Qiuluo will get it?" Shen Youqing said frankly and openly, "As long as it's not her, I'm happy whoever gets it!"

Shen Xingzhi choked. As expected of this young lady.

"We've got a job." Xie Changyan's cold voice rang out as he raised his right hand and gripped the hilt of his sword.

A rustling sound came.

Parting the leaves, several familiar faces appeared before my eyes.

Shen Youqing used his speed to weave through the flowers and trees and charged straight ahead.

Seeing Shen Youqing charging towards her with his fist raised, Shen Qiulu cursed under her breath and turned to run away.

Before Chi Guyuan and Lu Ye could even make a move, they were surrounded by Shen Xingzhi and her eight companions, like turtles in a jar.

As for Shen Qiuluo, she was chased and fled by Shen Youqing, looking quite disheveled.

The elders outside the water mirror watched this scene expressionlessly.

Teams Two and Three are simply... Next time we go to the secret realm, we must write a rule that teams cannot cooperate with each other!

Shen Qiuluo knew all too well the tricks of that bitch Shen Youqing. In order to protect the spiritual plant she had finally found, she decisively crushed the token.

After watching Shen Qiuluo disappear, Shen Youqing clicked his tongue in displeasure.

After a fairly amicable conversation, Shen Xingzhi and her group saw off Chi Guyuan and his companions.

"Senior Brother!" Lin Jinyao's eyes lit up as she excitedly told them, "Let's go find Senior Brother!"

Shen Xingzhi chimed in, "Let's go, let's borrow some spiritual plants!"

borrow?
This is the first time I've seen bandits describe robbery so euphemistically.

A group of bandits went to find Liang Shimu with great enthusiasm.

Liang Shimu, who was digging for spiritual plants, felt a chill run down his spine.

Outside the water mirror.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the top two have already been decided." An elder's voice was somewhat complicated as he looked at the two groups of people walking together and couldn't help but shake his head.

Nine against five, and one of them is a healer. Which group could possibly win?
"Aren't they afraid of being ganged up on after they get out?" An elder frowned. "Why is Xie Changyan involved too?"

Their disciples, the direct disciples of the Azure Jade Sect, have been led astray!

"The Hehuan Sect really is..." An elder hesitated, swallowing his words, but the expression on his face said it all.

"Shen Youqing's disciple is full of cunning!"

"More than just cunning and arrogant! She's ruthless!" An elder's face darkened. "Look at Shen Qiuluo, she's like a mouse before a cat when she sees her!"

……

The nine people in the water mirror swarmed like locusts, robbing spirit beasts and gathering spirit plants wherever they went, or robbing disciples and stealing spirit plants.

After they robbed Liang Shimu, Lin Jinyao weighed the storage bag in her hand and exclaimed that her senior brother was very wealthy.

Liang Shimu was so angry that he held a grudge against Lin Jinyao.

As time passes, the secret realm ends in one day.

The two teams, whose scores had already been calculated once, recalculated their scores.

“There probably aren’t many teams left surviving in the secret realm.” Chu Jianyan sat to the side, pondering as she spoke. “We still haven’t encountered Second Junior Brother. He’s most likely been eliminated by other teams.”

Shen Youqing pondered.

Nine people sat in a circle.

"Come on, let's calculate the score again between our two teams, so we can control the score later," Shen Quelin said.

Shen Youqing glanced at it, then took an ordinary-looking storage bag and handed it to Shen Quelin.

The two exchanged a glance, and then went to their teammates to calculate the score.

"With so many points, are we tied for first place?" Shen Xingzhi asked Chu Jianyan. "You have Shen Xuan'an on your side, and I'm worried that something might go wrong with him."

“These are the extra five thousand points.” Shen Youqing took out a storage bag and said, “Jiang Xuan’an shouldn’t have that many spiritual plants.”
