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

Chapter 148 If it's you, it's fine

Seeing Shen Youqing's eagerness to rush into the restaurant to find food, Shen Quelin asked, "You've already reached the Golden Core stage, why aren't you practicing abstaining from grains?"

"Food is essential for life; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal." Shen Youqing waved his hand, speaking with righteous indignation, "I can't cultivate without food!"

Shen Quelin's eyes were filled with silence.

Just admit you're craving something, don't make up so many excuses.

Yue Xunzhu looked at Shen Youqing with tender and doting eyes.

Xie Changting's gentle voice rang out, "The breakfast here is indeed quite good. Since you've come all this way, Changyan and Fellow Daoist Jiang can have a taste."

Jiang Chenying and Xie Changyan responded coldly.

Elder Shen, who was standing to the side, had no objections. His purpose in coming here was only to protect their safety, and he didn't care about anything else.

The group entered the restaurant and found it very lively, with the main hall already full.

Xiao Ke inquired with the innkeeper, then walked over to Shen Youqing and the others and said, "The private rooms are full, so I'm afraid you'll have to share a table with us."

Yue Xunzhu nodded slightly and said in a cool tone, "Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Ke didn't say anything, but gestured for them to go upstairs.

Xiao Youqi, who was drinking porridge in the private room, heard the door open, put down his porcelain bowl, and looked up.

Yue Xunzhu and the others entered one after another.

Shen Youqing, who was lagging behind, was tugged at by Xiao Ke's sleeve. Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, he didn't go in.

The two of them took a few steps to the side.

Xie Changyan, who was lagging behind, glanced to the side.

"A gift to celebrate the Core Formation stage." Xiao Ke stretched out his hand, revealing a storage ring in his palm. Thinking of the limited contents, he added, "There aren't many items. I'll add more in a couple of days."

"Do not……"

Xiao Ke directly pulled Shen Youqing's hand and placed the storage ring on it, giving her no chance to refuse.

Looking at that uncompromising expression, Shen Youqing muttered softly, "So domineering."

"What?" Xiao Ke pretended not to hear.

Shen Youqing gave him a slight smile and said, "Thank you, senior brother!"

After saying that, she hooked the ring and waved it at Xiao Ke.

Looking at Shen Youqing, who was smiling sweetly and had beautiful eyes, Xiao Ke softened his deep and indifferent peach blossom eyes and stared at her steadily.

I miss her terribly after not seeing her for two months.

Shen Youqing's attention was focused on the storage ring, so he ignored Xiao Ke's increasingly intense gaze.

Thinking that Xiao Ke had said there wasn't much, Shen Youqing curiously scanned it with his divine sense.

The next second, she was almost blinded by the mountain of spirit stones piled up in her storage ring!
Are all alchemists this wealthy?!
"No, you call this not much?" Shen Youqing held up the storage ring, his phoenix eyes widening slightly, his clear eyes filled with shock. "Senior brother, did you give me all the spirit stones you have on you?"

Was she too poor or was Xiao Ke too rich?
Looking at Shen Youqing's adorable appearance, Xiao Ke slightly curved his peach blossom eyes and said, "My entire fortune is more than this."

At this point, he suddenly realized and said, "You've reminded me. I'll get everything sorted out for you later."

what?
Shen Youqing's mind went blank for a moment.

"Sincerity." Xiao Ke looked at the dazed Shen Youqing, his clear and leisurely tone revealing seriousness. "When I say I like you and love you, I can't just say it, can I?"

He's not the kind of person who just talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.

Shen Youqing blinked.

so?
To show his sincerity, he was willing to give up all his wealth.

Isn't this a bit too much of a show of sincerity?

"Senior brother, listen to me." Shen Youqing composed himself, looking very serious. "You'll be badly scammed if you keep acting like this!"

If she were someone with ill intentions, she would have taken the money and run away, leaving Xiao Ke with nothing but loss.

Fifth Brother is really something, doesn't he understand the saying "don't flaunt your wealth"?
"Can you?" Xiao Ke asked in return, and before Shen Youqing could answer, he continued, "If it's you, it's fine."

It's just some money, isn't it? If this money can bring a smile to Qingqing's face, then he's made a profit!
"Huh?" Shen Youqing felt like his head was full of question marks.

It's alright?
Has your senior brother never been deceived in all his years?

"By the way, how did you end up with Young Master Xie and the others?" Before returning to the private room, Xiao Ke asked one last question.

"We met by chance in Qianyu City, and then went to the Crimson Feather Mountains together for training," Shen Youqing explained simply.

Xiao Ke asked the question casually, and after receiving Shen Youqing's answer, he turned and walked towards the private room.

When the two walked in one after the other, Yue Xunzhu and the others had already ordered their food and were sitting there drinking tea.

Under Yue Xunzhu's gaze, Shen Youqing felt inexplicably guilty.

But, as heaven and earth can bear witness, she and Xiao Ke only exchanged a few words!

Before long, a variety of exquisite breakfast dishes were served.

Shen Youqing picked up the porcelain bowl and lowered his head to eat the pork, shrimp and crab porridge.

The sweet and fresh shrimp and crab paired with tender slices of meat made Shen Youqing's eyes light up again and again.

good to eat!

The group of people at the table were not talkative, and they ate their breakfast quietly.

After Shen Youqing finished eating, he said something to Yue Xunzhu and then got up to leave.

downstairs.

Just as Shen Youqing was about to pay, a large hand reached out and grabbed her arm.

"I'll do it." Xiao Ke walked over and gently pulled Shen Youqing away.

Before Shen Youqing could say anything, a group of handsome cultivators walked in from outside, attracting her attention.

"Fairy Shen, the breakfast here is the best in the entire Central Continent! It's rare for you to grace us with your presence, so this meal is on me!" The man's voice, full of smiles, carried a hint of flattery.

“I’ve been here before. Their place isn’t cheap, so I’ll treat you.” A pretty, gentle voice rang out. “Don’t be shy with me.”

When Shen Youqing turned his head to look, Xiao Ke had already paid for the meal.

Among the group that had just entered, the one in the middle, surrounded by admirers, was none other than Shen Qiuluo.

Shen Qiuluo naturally spotted the handsome Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing at a glance.

This time, however, she didn't join them. Instead, she chatted and laughed with the group of cultivators around her as they went to find seats.

Seeing this, a thoughtful look flashed across Shen Youqing's eyes.

It seems like Shen Qiuluo has finally gotten her brain working.

"Should we wait here for them to come down?" Xiao Ke asked Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's wait for them here."

Xiao Ke responded.

Shen Qiuluo and her group arrived at just the right time; a table in the lobby happened to be available.

After they sat down, a beautiful woman in the crowd kept stealing glances at Xiao Ke not far away.

His face, sculpted with a knife and axe, was deep and three-dimensional, and his temperament was noble and aloof, like a fairy in a painting, making it impossible to look away.

"Qiu Luo..." Zhang Xunyu spoke softly, and when she saw Shen Qiu Luo looking at her gently, two blushes appeared on her cheeks. "You are a direct disciple of the Qingyu Sect. Do you know who is who?"

Seeing Zhang Xunyu's heart fluttering with spring fever, Shen Qiulu followed her shy and timid gaze.

Standing not far away, Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing would exchange a few words from time to time. Due to the height difference, the tall man would lower his head slightly to listen to their conversation, appearing very gentle and accommodating.

"The flute carving of the Hehuan Sect," Shen Qiuluo said to Zhang Xunyu.

Acacia sect?
Zhang Xunyu's face showed a hint of surprise and astonishment, then her eyes lit up.

The Hehuan Sect is wonderful! If she could spend a night with a man like that, she wouldn't lose out no matter what!
Besides... she likes this man.
