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

Chapter 123 Elder Shen Er started cursing as soon as he opened his mouth.

Duanmu Rong walked over, bent down, and sat down.

Looking at Duanmu Rong, whose entire being screamed "I'm not someone to mess with," Shen Lin dared not mention Shen Qiuluo in front of her. He could only ask, "May I ask when you plan to return to the Shen family?"

"What are you going back for?" Duanmu Rong's eyes flashed with hostility. "What do you want to do?"

What is he planning to do?

The young master of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Jingyun, happened to be in Qianyu City. He was clearly afraid that this ancestor would do something!
Knowing that Shen Lin was worried that he would implicate the Shen family, Duanmu Rong said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't implicate the Shen family."

"Is that what I meant!" Shen Lin's tone became slightly harsher. "The Duanmu family isn't to be trifled with. It's not worth you throwing yourself into this mess for someone like that!"

Duanmu Rong didn't speak; she immediately looked at Yue Shihao's face.

Seeing her gaze, Yue Shihao said somewhat seriously, "I don't want you to ruin yourself for that kind of scumbag. It's not worth it."

Duanmu Rong pursed her lips into a straight line.

But... she's already made her move.

Seeing that Duanmu Rong had quieted down and seemed conflicted, Shen Lin turned to look at Yue Shihao and asked, unwilling to give up, "About Qiu Luo..."

"Why don't you go find Venerable Lin?" Yue Shihao interrupted Shen Lin, her eyes and brows revealing impatience.

Shen Lin fell silent after being rebuffed by a remark.

As for Elder Shen the Second, he sat quietly to one side.

"I understand." Duanmu Rong looked at Yue Shihao and then asked directly, "Shihao, you're not angry, are you?"

If Shi Hao felt uncomfortable, she immediately asked Shen Lin to leave!

"What are you angry about?" Yue Shihao asked back. Seeing Duanmu Rong glance at Shen Lin, she realized what he meant and said, "No, at most I just think he's an eyesore."

She had long since lost her feelings for Shen Lin and had come to terms with it. Besides, the reason she and Duanmu Rong became friends was not because of Shen Lin, but because Duanmu Rong herself was a very good person.

Shen Lin will not and cannot affect the relationship between them.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Shen Lin nodded obsequiously and dared not utter a word.

Duanmu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Duanmu Rong!"

An angry voice rang out, followed by the head of the Duanmu family striding in.

His sharp, furious gaze locked onto Duanmu Rong, and without saying a word, he attacked!

"presumptuous!"

Yue Shihao raised her hand and flicked it, and an orchid that appeared out of thin air swallowed the attack of the Duanmu family head in one gulp.

Before the head of the Duanmu family could make another move, Yue Shihao took the initiative.

She unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, sending the unsuspecting Duanmu family head staggering back several steps.

The Duanmu family head's expression was very unpleasant, but Yue Shihao's expression was even colder.

"Patriarch Duanmu, you're quite capable. Without saying a word, you rushed into the inn booked by my Yue family and attacked people. Are you trying to provoke my Yue family?"

Yue Shi's cold remark made the atmosphere even more tense.

Shen Lin, who had been temporarily ignored, glanced at Duanmu Rong and then remembered her sudden silence earlier.

!

So that's what they were waiting for him!

Shen Lin's blood pressure was rising rapidly.

When Elder Yue and Lin Jinran came out of the house, they saw that the atmosphere in the main hall below was tense and hostile.

Thinking of his son who had been poisoned and fallen unconscious, the head of the Duanmu family could hardly contain his temper. He spoke in a harsh tone, "Madam Yue, why don't you ask Duanmu Rong what good deeds he has done!" "What have I done?" Duanmu Rong's face was cold and sharp, and he immediately cursed, "Did I go to kill you?"

She was very discreet in poisoning Duanmu Jingyun; she didn't believe that the useless head of the Duanmu family could find evidence in such a short time!
This good-for-nothing came over yelling and shouting; he's just desperate.

"My son has been poisoned and fallen unconscious. Who else could have done this but you!" The head of the Duanmu family pointed at Duanmu Rong. "Hand over the antidote, and I'll spare your life!"

Shen Lin and Yue Shihao pressed down on Duanmu Rong's hands almost simultaneously, one on each side.

With his hands pinned down, Duanmu Rong was forced to behave.

"Patriarch Duanmu, you say she poisoned me, do you have any evidence?" Shen Lin's stern and indifferent voice rang out.

Seeing that Shen Lin was also protecting Duanmu Rong, the Duanmu family head's expression grew even more unfriendly. "If it's not her, then who is it! Family head Shen, don't be so foolish as to ruin the relationship between our two families!"

Aside from Duanmu Rong, who would dare to lay a hand on the young master of the Duanmu family!
"The Duanmu family head came here without any evidence. This is not only a provocation against the Yue family, but also against the Shen family." Shen Lin spoke forcefully, his tone threatening.

After he finished speaking, he gave Duanmu Rong a look that said, "Take it easy."

Although he was certain that Duanmu Rong was responsible, he could protect her as long as she wasn't caught red-handed.

"The younger one spews filth, and the older one does too." Lin Jinran cursed with a venomous tongue, "Like father, like son, that's for sure."

Elder Yue maintained a basic polite smile, remaining silent.

Although I cannot agree with him, I must say that Venerable Lin is good at scolding.

Just as the head of the Duanmu family was about to speak, he saw Lin Jinran's handsome and arrogant face. He choked on his words, his face turning ashen.

Shen Lin raised his hand to bow to Lin Jinran and pleaded, "I still need to trouble Venerable Lin to go and see what's wrong with Young Master Duanmu, so as to clear the name of this innocent man."

Lin Jinran readily agreed.

The inn next door.

After Lin Jinran finished her examination, she said to Elder Yue, who was standing to the side, "It's similar to the camellia tree's condition, except that it deteriorated much faster."

Seeing that the head of the Duanmu family was about to speak aggressively again, Elder Yue spoke first, "The camellia tree in Youqing was fighting with the mother insect, and the poison it received came from the mother insect."

In case the Duanmu family head didn't understand, Elder Yue invited the accompanying elders from the Qingyu Sect.

"Madam Rong has never appeared in Qiuzi Village," the accompanying elder said.

The head of the Duanmu family wanted to question it, but the other party was an elder of the Qingyu Sect, who was always fair and impartial.

"You must have conspired with Shen Youqing to poison my son!" The Duanmu family head's mind raced. His sharp gaze fell on Duanmu Rong. "Shen Youqing has a grudge against the Duanmu family! This poison was definitely given to you by Shen Youqing!"

Shen Lin held onto Duanmu Rong tightly, then gave Elder Shen a look.

"I think Patriarch Duanmu has lost his mind and is starting to make baseless accusations," Elder Shen said.

He looked the Duanmu family head up and down. "You spout such nonsense. I think it's not the young master Duanmu who needs to see Venerable Lin for a checkup, but you, the Duanmu family head!"

Hearing Elder Shen's scathing rebuke, Duanmu Rong felt much better.

"Patriarch Duanmu, don't be angry. Don't forget that you caused trouble and provoked the Yue family at their inn before. The Yue family hasn't been dealt with yet," Elder Shen continued to chime in. "Does Patriarch Duanmu want to offend the Shen family as well?"

The head of the Duanmu family was so angry with Elder Shen that he felt a pain in his chest and his face turned ashen.

Zhang Youli encountered this interesting scene as soon as he arrived.

"What is Youqing's status, and what is Madam Rong's status? With their awkward identities, they actually joined forces to poison Young Master Duanmu? Young Master Duanmu must have quite a lot of influence."

"The Duanmu family head has quite the nerve, always talking about killing this person or that person. How come I didn't know the Duanmu family was all-powerful in Zhongzhou City?"

Seeing the Duanmu family head's tightly clenched fist, Shen Lin coughed lightly, signaling him that that was enough.

Lin Jinran raised an eyebrow as she looked at the unremarkable Elder Shen.

You really can't judge a book by its cover.
