Chapter 55 Destined
Shen Rou, He Lianqing, Song Shubai and Qi Yuer arrived in Dingcheng on the same day.

After settling down in the inn near the Great Secret Realm.

Shen Rou asked them if they wanted to go out for a walk.

After the loss she suffered the last time she interacted with Shen Rou, Qi Yuer was obviously stunned after hearing these words.

When she was hesitating to refuse, Shen Rou took her hand.

She acted like a good sister: "I haven't had time to congratulate Junior Sister Yu'er on her promotion to a direct disciple yet. It's perfect, let's go out and celebrate together."

"This... Senior Sister, you don't have to spend any money."

Feeling Shen Rou holding her hand, Qi Yuer felt her whole body tense up.

"What's the big deal? You're our junior sister now. After all, the competition is still two days away. Let's go shopping together. Third Brother, what do you think?"

Shen Rou said that Qi Yuer was her junior sister, but her tone and actions were very coquettish.

Holding Qi Yuer's hand and begging, at first glance, Qi Yuer, who was standing straight, seemed more like a senior sister.

And Shen Rou is their beloved little junior sister.

Song Shubai glanced at Qi Yuer lightly, which made her shiver.

After a moment, he looked at Shen Rou with a doting look.

He hummed softly, thought for a moment, and then added to Qi Yuer:
"Although Master promoted you to direct disciple just before departure, you don't have to worry. As long as you..."

Having said that, Song Shubai paused for a moment before continuing:

"Unlike the elder sister before, who betrayed the sect, we will all protect you."

Speaking of this, Qi Yuer was stunned, and the image of the person in the secret realm with sparks wrapped around his fingers appeared in his mind.

The figure of a woman with a bright smile on her face broke through the fog.

She glanced at the people in front of her with a complicated expression, feeling that they seemed to...

Too harsh.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuer didn't say anything.

Song Shubai didn't care and looked at Shen Rou gently.

"Junior sister is right. There are still two days before the sect competition. It would be nice to go out for a walk."

"Okay, let's go out together! I've never hung out with my seniors before!"

"It must be very interesting! Okay, Second Brother?"

Seeing the smile on Shen Rou's lips, Song Shubai couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth upwards.

When I turned around, I saw He Lianqing who was silent.

"Brother, Junior Sister is asking you a question."

He Lianqing came back to his senses, "Sorry, I didn't hear it just now."

Seeing him like this, Shen Rou's eyes flickered and she bit her lower lip lightly.

"Second Brother, are you...still thinking about Sister Si?"

Hearing this, He Lianqing's body stiffened and then he frowned.

"How is that possible! Junior sister, you're overthinking it."

"But...ever since we came back from that little secret realm together, you've been like this often..."

He Lianqing looked at Shen Rou's drooping face. The moon-white disciple uniform on her made her look even more adorable.

Involuntarily, Si Nian, dressed in green clothes, appeared in He Lianqing's mind.

Unlike the junior sister who needs to be protected at all times, the senior sister looks... more dazzling.

He shook his head, pushing all the thoughts out of his mind.

He met Shen Rou's gaze again and saw that she was looking at him with worry on her face.

The one who cares about me the most is my junior sister.

A warm feeling passed through He Lianqing's heart.

So he smiled at her and comforted her, "I wasn't thinking about her at all. I was just thinking about the opportunity you got in the secret realm..."

"Second senior brother." Before He Lianqing could finish, Song Shubai spoke first.

He glanced at the crowd coming and going, shook his head at He Lianqing, and whispered, "Many people talk a lot." "Don't let the cat out of the bag before the big competition."

He Lianqing was stunned, then nodded.

"Anyway, in this competition, you might end up facing off against... against her again. I'm worried about you..."

"Second Brother is worried that I will lose to Sister Si?"

Shen Rou looked at He Lianqing with a sweet smile.

"No, I'm just worried that she will cheat on you." He Lianqing shook his head.

"Don't worry, I'm not that weak! Although Sister Si used to be my senior sister, but..."

"But now, I am fighting for the Lingxiao Sect, and I will never lose!"

Looking at Shen Rou like this, He Lianqing said nothing more, but just scratched her nose lovingly.

He jokingly said, "Then our Lingxiao Sect will completely rely on you!"

Several people burst into laughter.

Qi Yuer watched this scene, and the strange feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger...

Is she too conservative?
Is this how senior and junior students get along?
Why does it look... so... ambiguous?
As they were talking, four young men in black tights walked into the inn.

The collar was sewn with dark thread into the shape of a yin-yang diagram, which made the boy's body look more upright.

Shen Rou looked over curiously, and at a glance, her eyes fell on the leading young man and she couldn't help but look away.

His skin was as pale as if he hadn't seen the sun for years, his brows were slightly frowned, and he looked like he didn't want anyone to come near him.

But the face... is really beautiful.

Her hair was tied up high with a red headband embroidered with runes.

There is a small mole at the corner of her eye, which makes her look even more charming, like a flower blooming in the bottomless darkness.

With a mysterious and fatal temptation.

"It seems like you are here to participate in the sect competition, right?"

The innkeeper greeted them warmly, and the attention of He Lianqing and others was also attracted by these words.

"Yes."

"That…"

"Lianxu Sect, four rooms."

The leading young man spoke briefly and to the point, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

The voice is very magnetic.

For some reason, Shen Rou felt her heart start to beat uncontrollably just by hearing the boy's voice.

It’s like... today’s meeting was guided by something.

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, checked it over, and then exclaimed.

Then he frowned, looked up again, and said apologetically:
"My fellow Daoist, I'm truly sorry, but we only have three rooms left. Could you please ask someone to stay with you for one night?"

When the young man heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly.

His pupils bulged, and he said sternly, "No! Absolutely not!"

The noise was quite loud and immediately attracted the attention of others.

The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed and thought to himself: This young Taoist looks cold, why does he have such a bad temper?
But they are people from the four major sects...it's not easy to offend them.

When I was hesitating and didn't know what to do.

A sweet and gentle female voice said, "This is the only inn within a ten-mile radius that's closest to the secret realm. Everyone here is here to participate in the sect competition. If you went somewhere else, you'd be too far away."

"If you don't mind, how about I make room for you?"

Shen Rou walked up to the young man with a smile on her face.

But the closer I got to him, the more my heart started beating like a deer.

She was so shocked that her hands and feet became stiff.
