Chapter 127 Shen Youqing, are you crazy?!
After watching Shen Youqing go upstairs, Elder Shen looked at Shen Lin with some concern.

Is the homeowner alright?

"..." Shen Lin sighed heavily, his straight back bending considerably. "Second Elder, was I wrong?"

Elder Shen dared not speak, and kept his mouth shut.

Back in his room, Shen Youqing took out the ghost baby and camellia tree from the cloth bag.

The ghost and the flower looked at Shen Youqing sitting to one side, unusually quiet, not daring to cause any trouble.

Because they sensed that Shen Youqing's condition was not right.

—How did you become like this?
Shen Lin's words echoed in my mind.

Shen Youqing lowered his head wearily, his thoughts drifting back to his past life.

After a long while, Shen Youqing had to admit that she resented Shen Lin.

Because of Shen Lin's favoritism, Shen Qiuluo dared to covet the position of the young master of the Shen family. It was also because of this that she caused Shen Quelin to suffer a qi deviation and his cultivation to regress, ultimately leading to his brutal death at the hands of the demonic cultivators.

After Shen Quelin's death, her already strained relationship with the Shen family deteriorated rapidly, and her relationship with Shen Lin also reached a breaking point. She almost killed Shen Lin once.

Why was it "almost"? Because those old ancestors from the back mountain came out to stop us.

From that time until her death in battle, she never saw Shen Lin again.

The next time I saw Shen Lin was when I was reborn.

Shen Youqing raised her hand to support her cheek, and her gaze towards the window gradually turned cold.

So what if it turns out like this?

If being ruthless can protect Shen Quelin, then she wouldn't mind killing her father and relatives!
"Dong dong dong."

Coming to his senses, Shen Youqing suppressed his murderous aura and asked, "Who?"

"Jinjin, it's me."

Outside, the moon shone with a cool and elegant voice.

"Enter."

When Yue Shihao pushed open the door, she saw Shen Youqing sitting at the table, his hand supporting his cheek, a hint of sharpness and ruthlessness still lingering in his eyes and brows.

“Mother.” Shen Youqing lowered her hands and sat up straighter.

Looking at her young daughter, Yue Shihao felt a pang of heartache and guilt in her eyes. "Jinjin has suffered a lot of injustice."

"..." Shen Youqing didn't know how to respond, so she could only purse her bright red lips into a straight line.

Feeling wronged?
Actually, she didn't suffer much injustice; she just witnessed a lot of life and death separations.

Looking at Shen Youqing's slightly resistant expression, Yue Shihao couldn't help but sigh, "Jinjin..."

“Mother, I am not sad.” Shen Youqing’s eyes were calm and somewhat indifferent.

Shen Lin should be the one who is saddened, after all, Shen Qiuluo's fate is unknown.

Seemingly realizing that her tone was too harsh, Shen Youqing added, "I'm not that fragile. I was just thinking about Shen Quelin."

"Jinjin, I feel like you have a lot on your mind." Yue Shihao looked at Shen Youqing, her cool voice filled with heartache. "You've grown a lot."

She became calm, composed, and indifferent.

Looking at the silent Shen Youqing, Yue Shihao hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Jinjin, do you want to walk the path of ruthlessness?"

She didn't spend much time with Jinjin, but she could still notice the changes in Jinjin.

Especially in terms of emotions, it was as if overnight, Jinjin's feelings for many things became weak.

"...I have considered it," Shen Youqing answered truthfully.

Yue Shihao looked at her daughter, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

“However, the Path of Ruthlessness is not suitable for me.” Shen Youqing said in a gentle and respectful tone, “Mother, rest assured, I will not choose the Path of Ruthlessness.”

Seeing Shen Youqing like this, Yue Shihao suddenly felt discouraged.

Finally, Yue Shihao didn't say anything more; she got up and left.

Shen Youqing meditated in the room for a few weeks before preparing to check on Duanmu Jingyun. When Shen Youqing came downstairs, Shen Lin and the Second Elder were still sitting in the main hall.

Looking at the aloof and arrogant Shen Youqing, Shen Lin hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"Youqing, please save your sister."

Shen Youqing, who had already reached the entrance of the inn, did not stop for a moment.

Saving lives is impossible, but...

She left the inn and went straight to the inn next door.

When the grieving Duanmu family head saw Shen Youqing, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a savior.

Shen Youqing bowed to the Duanmu family head and said, "Does the Duanmu family head know which room Shen Qiuluo is in? I'll go check on her."

The head of the Duanmu family had no suspicions and assumed that Shen Lin had persuaded Shen Youqing. He said, "She is in the second room on the left on the third floor. My son is next door. I'll trouble Miss Shen."

Shen Youqing nodded slightly, and then walked upstairs.

"Squeak."

Shen Youqing pushed open the door.

The room was silent and empty. Shen Qiuluo, lying on the bed, frowned in pain, her face pale, and surrounded by ghostly energy.

A beauty is a beauty; even with such severe injuries, she exudes a fragile and vulnerable aura, making her all the more pitiful and heartbreaking.

Shen Youqing took out a long knife from his storage ring and strode forward. Then, with swift and decisive movements, he thrust the knife towards Shen Qiuluo's heart.

"clang--"

The spiritual energy that burst through the air knocked the long sword out of Shen Youqing's hand, and the long sword, which stabbed down hard, pierced through the bed board.

Seeing this, Shen Youqing quickly drew his knife and stabbed again.

"Shen Youqing! Are you crazy?!"

Shen Lin darted forward and grabbed Shen Youqing's arm.

He glanced at Shen Qiuluo, who was unconscious, and couldn't tell whether he felt more fear or relief.

Shen Youqing flicked his wrist, and the blade slashed directly at Shen Lin.

Shen Lin used his spiritual power to intercept the sharp blade, and when he heard someone coming, he snatched Shen Youqing's long sword and put it away.

Shen Youqing, having gone this far, decided to go all the way and reached out to snap Shen Qiuluo's neck.

Elder Shen Er gasped in fright, grabbing Shen Lin with one hand and stopping Shen Youqing with the other.

Upon noticing the commotion, Zhang Youli and Elder Helian rushed over. Seeing the situation inside, they were completely baffled.

"What's this?" Zhang Youli asked as he walked in, noticing the tense atmosphere inside.

Before he could even reach the bedside, Elder Shen Er used brute force to drag Shen Youqing over, his expression as steady as an old dog. "Sect Master Zhang, Youqing has come to check on Qiu Luo's condition."

is it?

Looking at these people, Zhang Youli had a feeling that things weren't so simple.

Shen Youqing struggled twice and finally managed to pull his arm out.

Elder Shen glared at Shen Youqing, who was full of bull-like strength.

Heaven knows what he felt when he was dragged along by the patriarch and saw Shen Youqing killing people with a knife!
If it had been even a second later!
That stubborn Qing is about to cause a huge disaster!
Shen Youqing stood to the side nonchalantly, his calm and composed demeanor showing no sign of guilt or fear after being caught.

"As Sect Leader Zhang knows, Youqing has a rather stubborn temper. That's why he got angry with the Patriarch after just a few words," said Elder Shen.

Zhang Youli looked at Shen Youqing and said, "If you are willing to lend a helping hand, I will give you a reward no less than that given by the Duanmu family head."

"Sect Leader Zhang, aren't you afraid that I might accidentally kill someone while treating them?" Shen Youqing revealed a graceful and gentle smile, seemingly friendly, but actually full of provocation.

Zhang Youli looked at the unrestrained and wicked Shen Youqing, his mind raced, and then he took a step and walked towards the bedside.

Elder Shen dared not let Zhang Youli come over, after all, there was such a big knife wound on the bed!
