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

Chapter 147 Natal Spirit Plant
Shen Quelin looked at the noble and elegant man and couldn't help but shudder.

From a young age, he knew that his cousin, though seemingly elegant and kind, was actually a black man at heart.

If I remember correctly, those who anger this cousin never have a good ending, except for Shen Youqing, of course.

"There's probably no chance of reconciliation between her and Jinjin," Yue Xunzhu said calmly. "If she's allowed to grow up, Jinjin will be in trouble."

Shen Quelin nodded, then propped his head up with his hand, looking somewhat troubled.

"The Shen family won't just give up on her like this." Shen Quelin's eyes turned colder. "Now that she's learned to be patient, if we keep attacking, I'm afraid..."

“We don’t need to do anything.” Yue Xunzhu put down her teacup, her words conveying a sense of confident assurance.

Seeing that Yue Xunzhu had everything under control, Shen Quelin said nothing more.

“Now we should be worried about Jinjin.” Yue Xunzhu looked at Shen Quelin. “At the sect conference a few months from now, she will be competing against a group of disciples who are in the mid-to-late stages of the Golden Core realm.”

The young masters of each family and the disciples of each clan are no pushovers!
If Jinjin had been even less lucky, she would have been last in the class.

“We can’t expect her to break through again in the next few months, can we?” Shen Quelin shook his head. “That’s unrealistic.”

Yue Xunzhu sighed with some sorrow.

According to the plan, Jinjin should have broken through to the Golden Core stage after the sect conference, but who knew that her enlightenment was as easy as drinking water!
This is even before she received the inheritance!
I can't even imagine if she received the inheritance, would she directly reach the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm?

"At worst, she'll come in last place. I believe she can accept that." Shen Quelin was resigned to his fate.

This isn't Foundation Establishment; above Golden Core, each level is vastly different. The actual gap is there. If Shen Youqing wants to win a challenge beyond his level, unless his opponent is an alchemist or a weapon maker, there's absolutely no chance!
"What are they muttering about?"

A crisp sound suddenly rang out at the courtyard gate.

Shen Quelin was so frightened that he shuddered and glared at Shen Youqing, who was swaggering at the door.

They appear and disappear mysteriously every day!
"Are you saying bad things about me?" Shen Youqing stepped through the courtyard gate, a ghost baby hanging from his leg.

Yue Xunzhu looked at the ragged girl and asked, "Early stage of Golden Core?"

"Hmph." Shen Youqing raised his head, his eyes and brows brimming with pride and arrogance. "Me! A genius! Isn't that perfectly normal?"

Shen Quelin glanced at it with a hint of disdain, then looked away.

"We're talking about your sect's competition," Shen Quelin said calmly. "You're most likely to be last."

Shen Youqing said "Oh", then waved his hand, "So what if I'm last? I'll go back and wash up first."

After saying that, Shen Youqing turned and left.

Seeing Shen Youqing leave so gracefully, Shen Quelin shook his head.

Seeing this, Yue Xunzhu was no longer worried.

Shen Youqing enjoyed a relaxing soak in the hot spring, and then changed into a brand new light green dress.

The white-trimmed, cross-collar long dress made Shen Youqing's shoulders appear slender and her waist graceful. Her thin and frail body looked like a sheet of paper, and paired with her elegant and aloof face, she seemed untouched by worldly affairs, cold and distant.

When Shen Quelin and Yue Xunzhu came over from the neighboring courtyard, they saw Shen Youqing eating in the flower hall.

"Oh, your hairstyle is quite nice." Shen Quelin looked at Shen Youqing, who had tied her hair into a single bun with a long hairpin, and couldn't hide his surprise.

“Spells and magic,” Shen Youqing uttered.

Shen Quelin's lips twitched.

"Since you can use magic to tie your hair up, there's no need to keep it so plain," Yue Xunzhu said gently.

Shen Youqing looked up at the two people beside her, her cheeks slightly bulging from the food, and nodded, not wanting to speak.

“Miss Shen, a direct disciple of the Qingyu Sect and Young Master Xie have come to visit.”

The maid spoke from outside the flower hall.

Shen Youqing responded, swallowed his food, and said, "Please come over."

The maid responded.

Not long after, Jiang Chenying and Xie Changting arrived at the flower hall.

Seeing that Shen Youqing was eating, the group was somewhat surprised.

She's in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, so she must have already practiced fasting, right?
"What's wrong?" Shen Youqing asked, then said, "Sit wherever you like."

The three sat down in the empty seat next to Yue Xunzhu. "There are less than thirty days left. It's time to set off back to the sect," Jiang Chenying's cold voice rang out. "We'll train our way back from Zhongzhou City, and the time will be just about right."

"Are you leaving soon?" Shen Youqing asked.

Jiang Chenying wanted to leave today, but if he remembered correctly, Shen Youqing should have just come out of the forbidden area.

“Miss Shen has just returned, why not give her two days to rest?” Xie Changting said unhurriedly. “We have plenty of time.”

Jiang Chenying responded.

"Thank you!" Shen Youqing smiled.

"We'll depart at 7 AM two days from now." After saying this, Jiang Chenying got up and left to continue her training.

The Yue family's training grounds were excellent, and he gained a great deal during this month.

After finishing their business, Xie Changting and his brother, along with Shen Quelin, left.

After finishing her meal with Shen Youqing, Yue Xunzhu also left.

Back in his room, Shen Youqing meditated and regulated his breathing.

Looking at the miniature branch at his dantian, Shen Youqing's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Oh, Your Honor, who would understand?
I went to the forbidden area and inexplicably gained a natal spiritual plant!
However, with a natal spiritual plant, the use of healing arrays becomes much easier.

After a week of meditation, Shen Youqing took the camellia tree out of the cloth bag.

Looking at the camellia tree that looked like it had been wilted by frost, Shen Youqing shook it.

Through the contract, Shen Youqing could sense that the little guy was very, very unhappy.

"Although I already have a natal contract, you are the first spiritual plant I ever contracted with." After saying this, Shen Youqing inexplicably felt like a fickle and heartless woman.

illusion!

After being coaxed by Shen Youqing, the wilted camellia tree stood up with one branch.

The ghost baby, who had been watching longingly from the side, silently extended its wicked little claws.

The camellia tree that had been snatched away was then brought to the mouth of the ghost baby.

"Bang!" Shen Youqing punched the ghost baby on the head, looking at the little guy who was about to cry, and said sternly with a straight face, "You can't eat it! This is a contracted spirit plant!"

"Mother, you're biased, you don't love me!" the ghost baby said, then began to whine pitifully.

Shen Youqing scooped up the ghost baby and comforted the child.

After soothing the child, Shen Youqing went to cultivate.

Two days later.

The group left the Yue family's residence and soon arrived at Zhongzhou City.

"Youqing?"

A cold, clear voice sounded from above, its deep, resonant tone carrying a hint of surprise.

Shen Youqing looked up and saw Xiao Ke leaning against the window on the third floor, looking down.

The man leaning against the window wore a light blue long robe, his posture upright like a bamboo shoot, his satin-black hair half-draped behind him, and a look of surprise shimmering in his deep, captivating peach blossom eyes.

Xiao Youqi heard the noise and looked up, then saw Xiao Ke's clothes disappear through the window.

"..." Xiao Youqi coldly withdrew his gaze and continued eating.

Watching Xiao Ke flip down from the windowsill with one hand, Shen Youqing said rather unromantically, "Senior brother, you can take the stairs."

Xiao Ke curved her beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly, her gaze captivating and alluring. "Their breakfast is quite good, would you like to try it?"

Shen Youqing's eyes lit up.

Xiao Ke raised his hand and bowed to Yue Xunzhu and the others.

The group returned the greetings.
