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

What are the rewards for Chapter 137?

Shen Youqing thought for a moment, then turned to Xiao Ke and asked, "When is the Hehuan Sect's grand competition? How is it conducted?"

The sect competitions of the five sects are all held at roughly the same time.

However, given the current situation, it seems she won't be able to return to participate in the sect competition.

"..." Xiao Ke's expression turned a little strange, and he looked at Shen Youqing hesitantly.

Shen Quelin asked in surprise, "You don't know?"

Even someone who isn't a disciple of the Hehuan Sect knows this, yet Shen Youqing, this Muggle, doesn't?
"Should I know?" Shen Youqing retorted with an air of self-righteousness.

Shen Quelin: ...

"What does the Hehuan Sect primarily cultivate?" Chu Jianyan asked gently.

Shen Youqing blinked. "Dual cultivation."

As soon as she finished speaking, she had a strange, uneasy feeling.

"The Hehuan Sect's sect competition is a bit different from the other four sects. The Hehuan Sect's competition is about dual cultivation." Before Chu Jianyan could finish speaking, Shen Youqing was completely petrified.

WTF? !
What does the Hehuan Sect compete in?
Wait, how can you even compare these? How can you even compare them?
Seeing Shen Youqing's dazed expression, Shen Quelin laughed, "I bet you a spirit stone that you'll definitely be last!"

"Get out!" Shen Youqing shouted, reaching out to Shen Quelin.

Because their fingers were intertwined, Shen Youqing could only move a limited distance, and after Shen Quelin dodged away, she could no longer reach him.

“As Fellow Daoist Chu said, the Hehuan Sect does indeed conduct competitions in this way. They generally assess the quality and quantity of dual cultivation within a certain timeframe.” Xiao Ke tugged at his arm, gently pulling Shen Youqing closer.

Shen Youqing looked at Xiao Ke, "Our sect... is it really like this??"

One has to admit, they truly live up to their name as the Hehuan Sect.

"Hmm." Xiao Ke nodded, then tentatively asked, "How about..."

Having anticipated what Xiao Ke was going to say, Shen Youqing quickly raised her hand and covered his mouth.

Seeing Shen Youqing's swift and practiced movements, Shen Quelin silently shifted his gaze to other places.

He was afraid he would beat the two men to death if he watched any longer.

"What's the reward?" Shen Youqing asked.

Xiao Ke pulled Shen Youqing's hand away, staring at her with a sharp gaze, "Why are you asking this?"

Could she be thinking of finding someone else to practice dual cultivation with?
"The rewards are very generous," Chu Jianyan said to Shen Youqing, ignoring Xiao Ke's unfriendly gaze, and continued, "The rewards from the Hehuan Sect are the most generous among the five sects."

Shen Youqing was somewhat tempted, but...

“…Never mind.” Shen Youqing waved his hand. “I might not be cut out for this.”

Xiao Ke, who was tense beside him, relaxed a lot.

Seeing Shen Youqing's willingness to give up, Xie Changting was somewhat surprised. "If Miss Shen doesn't intend to cultivate together, why is she going to the Hehuan Sect?"

If she doesn't practice dual cultivation, the Lingxiao Sect might be more suitable for her.

“She’s after freedom.” Chu Jianyan’s voice sounded somewhat resentful, then she said with great confusion, “But our Lingxiao Sect is also very free.”

It's hard to comment on Xie Changting.

"Do you want to come in last place?" Xiao Ke asked softly.

"Isn't Senior Brother always last place?" Shen Youqing raised an eyebrow, then silently raised his hand, which was interlocked with his own. "I remember Master saying that Senior Brother is disdainful of dual cultivation and is a cold person."

At first, she did believe it, but later... she couldn't believe it at all!
"Yes."

Warm fingertips gently caressed the back of Shen Youqing's hand. "In previous years, I was always last place, and Master was right, but that was before I met you."

After meeting Shen Youqing, he started thinking about how to bring her back...

"..." Shen Youqing really wanted to raise his hand and slap his mouth.

I'm so talkative!
Seeing Shen Youqing's somewhat annoyed expression, Chu Jianyan found it rather amusing.

"What was Shen Qiuluo doing here before?" Shen Quelin chose to change the subject.

As she spoke of this, the corners of Shen Youqing's mouth gradually turned up. Seeing Shen Youqing's eerie smile, Shen Quelin leaned back slightly and looked at her warily.

"Although it's not nice to talk about people behind their backs, I'm not a good person." After saying that, Shen Youqing revealed a mouthful of white teeth, "Shen Qiuluo went through all that trouble to come to Qingyu Sect, it turns out she had ulterior motives!"

"Huh?" Shen Quelin looked puzzled.

When the matter involved sects, Xie Changyan looked over and asked, "What ulterior motives?"

Shen Youqing glanced at Xie Changyan with a hint of sympathy, "I suggest you don't ask. It's better to stay ignorant."

After she finished speaking, she said to Shen Quelin, "I used to think that she was making such a fuss about coming to the Qingyu Sect because the Qingyu Sect was strict and serious about its disciples, but who knew..."

Shen Youqing was almost laughing to tears, and she raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Shen Quelin glanced at Xie Changyan, then looked at Shen Youqing.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, and Shen Quelin suddenly realized what was going on. Then he looked at Xie Changyan with a hint of sympathy.

Xie Changyan was truly bewildered; he turned to look at Xie Changting.

Xie Changting raised his hand and patted Xie Changyan on the shoulder, "What are your feelings for her?"

"Huh?" Xie Changyan was taken aback by the question. After realizing what was happening, he frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Could it be that she came to Qingyu Sect because of me?"

Shen Youqing turned his head and exchanged a glance with Shen Quelin.

As expected of a direct disciple, his mind works really fast!
Seeing the expression on Shen Youqing's face, Xie Changyan immediately knew that he had guessed correctly.

Seeing this, Xie Changting looked somewhat helpless.

It wasn't him who told them; rather, Changyan was too clever and guessed it himself.

"I feel nothing." Xie Changyan answered without hesitation, his already cold voice turning even colder. "To be honest, I feel a bit disgusted."

Xie Changting was not surprised.

How could he not know his brother?

Chang Yan was a bit cold and taciturn, but he wasn't exactly reserved.

If he truly liked someone, he wouldn't act this way.

Chu Jianyan looked at Xie Changyan with some surprise.

Xie Changyan did not offer any explanation.

……

The group started chatting, mainly Shen Youqing and Chu Jianyan, with Xie Changting and Shen Quelin occasionally chiming in, while Xiao Ke and Xie Changyan played the role of wooden figures.

After they had finished chatting, the group went their separate ways.

Back at his residence, Shen Youqing went inside to draw talismans.

Xiao Ke, who was turned away, was met with several taunts from Shen Quelin.

Xiao Ke glanced at Shen Quelin with a cold, calm gaze, then went back into the house without saying anything.

The next day.

Shen Youqing finished his body tempering and saw the last team returning after completing their mission.

Meng Qinian also came.

After all thirty-five people had arrived, Meng Qinian spoke, "I'm sure you all know that our sect's grand competition will be held in six months."

"This sect competition is rather special." Meng Qinian didn't keep you in suspense any longer. "You thirty-five people will compete separately. Shen Youqing and Shen Qiuluo, who are below the Golden Core stage, will compete in best-of-three matches. The rest will be divided into professions by drawing lots..."

Shen Qiulu had no interest in listening to the second half of the story. When she heard that she would have to play a best-of-three series against Shen Youqing, she was stunned.

Best of three... How could she possibly defeat that bitch Shen Youqing!

Unless it's for alchemy!
But that bitch Shen Youqing has a wood spirit root, so it's unfair to compete with her in alchemy!

Shen Qiulu crossed her hands, leaving many deep marks on the back of her hands from her neatly trimmed nails.
