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

Chapter 128 Making Up for the Losses
Before Elder Shen could come up with a solution, Shen Lin, having composed herself, turned to Sect Leader Zhang and said in a seemingly helpless tone, "Sect Leader Zhang, Youqing is a rather stubborn child, so let's not force her."

Seeing this, Zhang Youli had no choice but to stop.

However, he gave Shen Youqing a deep look, his gaze so sharp it seemed to see through everything.

Shen Youqing's expression remained unchanged. With her cool and composed demeanor, she raised her hand, gave a proper bow, and then left.

Zhang Youli said nothing, nodded to Shen Lin, and then left with Elder Helian.

After everyone left, Shen Lin was enveloped in a lingering sense of fear, and her hands and feet felt weak.

"Patriarch..." Elder Shen looked at Shen Lin with some concern.

Shen Lin waved his hand, "You stay here and keep watch, I'll go take a look."

Upon hearing this, Elder Shen looked at Shen Lin with some concern.

Shen Lin knew what Elder Shen was worried about, and he said wearily, "Just as she said, what can I do?"

Elder Shen moved his lips, but in the end said nothing.

Shen Lin came out of the house and went to the next room.

inside the house.

The head of the Duanmu family stood to the side watching, his eyes filled with barely concealed anxiety.

Shen Youqing stood by the bed and raised his hand to form a hand seal.

Seeing this, Shen Lin did not go in to disturb them.

After the two healing arrays were activated, Duanmu Jingyun's ghostly aura was almost completely gone, and his pale face regained some color.

Shen Youqing turned to the Duanmu family head and said, "Young Master Duanmu's body is not suitable for being completely cleansed at once. I will come again tomorrow to remove the remaining toxins and ghost energy."

Seeing that Duanmu Jingyun's brows had relaxed, the head of the Duanmu family breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Shen!"

Shen Youqing held out his hand. "Payment."

"I forgot, I forgot, please don't be offended, Miss Shen." The head of the Duanmu family said, hurriedly taking out a storage bag and handing it over, his tone gentle and polite, "Miss Shen, please check it."

Shen Youqing scanned the area with his divine sense and, after confirming that it was correct, said, "Young Master Duanmu will wake up in a while, but he will need to rest."

After giving his instructions, Shen Youqing bowed slightly to the head of the Duanmu family and left.

The head of the Duanmu family personally escorted Shen Youqing to the door.

Upon seeing Shen Lin at the door, the Duanmu family head nodded to him, but he was somewhat suspicious.

The head of the Shen family rushed in like a gust of wind and went straight upstairs. His shout sounded like he had a dispute with Miss Shen.

Shen Lin nodded to the head of the Duanmu family, and then followed Shen Youqing.

Once outside the inn, Shen Youqing turned to look at the person behind her. "What? Are you going to spy on me?"

"Are you crazy?!" Shen Lin said in a low voice.

Recalling what had just happened, Shen Lin was still shaken. He stared at Shen Youqing with a dark and angry gaze.

"How so?" Shen Youqing asked indifferently.

Amidst Shen Lin's furious expression, Shen Youqing spoke with unwavering confidence, "Sect Leader Zhang is upstairs. If Father is unhappy, he is free to expose me."

"You!" Shen Lin's hands, which were hanging in his sleeves, trembled. He wanted to slap Shen Youqing twice to wake her up, but because he was afraid of the Yue family, he could only hold back.

“Since Father has chosen to protect me, why come over and say such annoying things?” Shen Youqing said impatiently.

"You almost killed your sister!" Shen Lin roared angrily, his voice low.

If he hadn't reacted in time and had been even a step too slow, Shen Qiuluo would have been dead!

Did she ever consider the consequences of killing Shen Qiuluo?

Shen Youqing raised an eyebrow, her expression so self-righteous, "So?"

"You're ruining your future!" Shen Lin was furious with Shen Youqing. He didn't care about anything else and started yelling, "You don't just want to ruin yourself! You want to ruin the Shen family too, don't you?!"

"Really?" Shen Youqing tilted her head in confusion, then gave a smile that looked like she was having a heart attack. "Didn't Father cover for me? It's not that serious."

"Father, please stop provoking me." Shen Youqing's patience ran out. "You know I'm capable of anything."

Shen Lin was so angry that his vision blurred.

"Oh, and make up for the losses." Shen Youqing said this before turning to leave.

Shen Lin couldn't hold back any longer, "What the hell did you lose?!"

"The loss of Father's favoritism," Shen Youqing said matter-of-factly, then added with a blatant threat, "Fine, if Father doesn't want to, I'll go talk to Sect Leader Zhang right now." "Get out!!!"

……

Shen Youqing went to cultivate as soon as he returned to the inn.

It was already late at night when Jiang Chenying and her group returned to the inn.

Hearing the commotion, Shen Youqing came downstairs and saw a group of people in the lobby.

The fourteen people found a large table and sat down.

"Your mission..." Mu Feibai shook his head, "Compared to yours, our mission is not difficult at all."

The only difficulty is the Nascent Soul stage spirit beasts; as for the fish demons, they are much easier to deal with than Nascent Soul stage spirit beasts.

"It seems we've discovered something else," Shen Youqing said.

Xiao Ke responded, "According to what was said before, all the corpses in the village have disappeared."

Disappeared?
Shen Youqing fell into thought.

“We went to the Fox Fairy Temple and the Fox Demon Cave, and we made some discoveries in the Fox Demon Cave.” Jiang Chenying took out a storage bag and placed it on the table.

Shen Youqing tilted the storage bag by the bottom, and the contents of the bag instantly fell onto the table.

Seeing this, Jiang Chenying didn't bother to say anything.

Shen Youqing reached out and rummaged through the things, "There's quite a lot of stuff here."

"Something was also found in the village," Xie Changyan said coldly. "Besides the disappearance of the corpses, my third junior brother discovered a formation in Qiuzi Village."

Shen Youqing raised his hand and scratched his head.

Xiao Ke picked up the teapot, poured a cup of water, and placed it in Shen Youqing's hand.

Shen Youqing thanked him and took a sip of water from his teacup.

After pouring water for the other disciples, Xiao Ke poured himself a cup last.

Chi Guyuan briefly explained the formation.

Shen Youqing fell into deep thought.

When we get back, let's look through the lineage of our ancestors and see if we can find anything.

"The formation might be related to the corpse inside the coffin," Jiang Chenying speculated. "To avoid any accidents, we don't plan to stay overnight. We might go check again tomorrow."

"Okay," Shen Youqing said. "What time do you want to go tomorrow?"

"Chenshi (7-9 AM)," Jiang Chenying said.

Shen Youqing nodded.

After finishing their business, Jiang Chenying and the others went back to their rooms.

Before long, only Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke remained at the table.

Seeing that Xiao Ke had no intention of getting up and going back to his room, Shen Youqing asked, "Is there anything else you want to say, Senior Brother?"

"Shall we go get something to eat?" Xiao Ke asked.

Shen Youqing nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Seeing Shen Youqing's eagerness, Xiao Ke stood up and walked outside with her.

After having a late-night snack, the two strolled leisurely back to the inn.

As you turn from the main street onto the road to the inn, the surroundings instantly become quiet and deserted.

Xiao Ke lowered his eyes and glanced at Shen Youqing beside him.

Did something unpleasant happen to you today?

A clear, deep voice drifted into Shen Youqing's ears on the evening breeze.

Shen Youqing looked up and saw the words "How did you know?" clearly written in his eyes.

Xiao Ke pondered for a moment seriously, "Intuition?"

Under Shen Youqing's slightly suspicious gaze, Xiao Ke spoke slowly, "I can sense that you're not in a good mood. What's wrong?"

Shen Youqing truly hadn't expected Xiao Ke to be so perceptive.
