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

Chapter 166 If there wasn't something going on, who would believe it?

The group of people below the arena had already steered the conversation toward the Five Sects Tournament.

Although none of them said it outright, they all knew in their hearts that Shen Youqing would definitely be one of their formidable rivals at the Five Sects Conference in a few years.

Shen Youqing was unaware that they already considered him one of their formidable rivals.

Even after Qingya and Wen Shiyue finished their fight on the stage, the group of people below the stage were still chatting.

When Qingya arrived, he heard them talking about the Five Sects Conference.

"You lost?" Chu Jianyan looked at Qingya with some concern.

Qingya nodded. Seeing the concerned looks from his senior sister and fellow disciples, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a competition."

He doesn't care much about winning or losing; he'll fight if he can and admit defeat if he can't.

“That’s a good way of thinking,” Chu Jianyan said gently.

Qingya smiled and looked at Shen Youqing to the side.

Shen Youqing moved her gaze and saw Qingya looking at her. She asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

“I’m a little curious. You have contracted spirit plants and spirit beasts. What if they were to participate in the battle…” Qingya asked, voicing his doubts.

Shen Youqing was not as indifferent as him. Since she wanted to win, why didn't she release her spirit beasts or spirit plants?

“That would be an unfair victory,” Shen Youqing said frankly. “I do want to win, but I would prefer to make my opponent accept defeat wholeheartedly.”

Qingya understood, and looking at the frank and upright Shen Youqing, he said in a gentle voice, "I hope to have a chance to spar with Junior Sister Youqing."

Under Shen Youqing's surprised gaze, he added, "Spirit beast sparring."

Shen Youqing nodded in agreement.

"You'll have to wait in line to spar with Junior Sister Youqing from now on," Chu Jianyan joked.

Shen Youqing looked somewhat helpless.

"The eldest brother is going on stage," Lin Youran said.

All eyes turned to the arena.

Liang Shimu and Wen Shiyue on the arena have already released their spirit beasts to fight.

Lin Jinyao said confidently, "Without a doubt, Senior Brother will win this round."

Shen Youqing looked at it and nodded in agreement.

In less than half an hour, the outcome of the contest on the stage had been decided.

As soon as Liang Shimu came down, he was surrounded by his junior brothers and sisters who congratulated him.

"Just lucky, just lucky," Liang Shimu said modestly.

The disciples of Lingxiao Sect and Hehuan Sect were enjoying themselves immensely, while the elders over there were already calling on the weapon masters to compete.

The Hehuan Sect doesn't have a single weapon crafter, so they're out of the picture.

Seeing Liang Shimu and the other three discussing what to do next, Xiao Ke leaned down slightly and whispered in Shen Youqing's ear, "Would you like to get something to eat?"

After a morning of competition, Shen Youqing rubbed his empty stomach and answered without hesitation, "Yes!"

Seeing Shen Youqing's unwavering demeanor, a hint of a smile flickered in Xiao Ke's eyes. He took Shen Youqing's hand and turned to walk outside.

The two people walking against the flow of the crowd were particularly conspicuous, and many people looked at them with varying expressions.

"Heh." Yue Xunzhu gave a low, cold laugh.

This Second Young Master Xiao is truly...shameless!
They became increasingly blatant, taking advantage of Jinjin's indulgence to compete and snatch things, giving no one else even the slightest chance to get close to Jinjin.

Shen Quelin glanced at Yue Xunzhu, whose gaze was slightly cold, and couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude.

“With their…” Liang Shimu turned to his junior brothers and sisters and said, “If there’s nothing going on, who would believe it?”

Lin Youran scoffed, "I don't believe it."

The rumors have persisted until now, partly because the two parties involved have ignored them, and partly because they are just too lovey-dovey!
To be precise, it was the fifth junior brother who was being clingy.

"Anyone who believes that is a dog," Lin Jinyao blurted out. "Given their appearance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're newlyweds."

Liang Shimu took a breath and coughed twice to let Lin Jinyao tone it down, since her two brothers were still there!

Lin Jinyao glanced at Yue Xunzhu and Shen Quelin. Their expressions remained unchanged, revealing neither joy nor anger. However, she could sense that their emotions were not high.

May my fifth junior brother rest in peace.

Lin Jinyao silently mourned for her fifth junior brother for a second.

Back at Erjie Peak, Xiao Ke went to cook, while Shen Youqing casually found a place to sit down and meditate.

By the time she finished her meditation, the meal was ready.

Several talisman masters who had finished their competition came over together and found Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke eating.

The way they looked so relaxed and at ease gave off a strangely familiar vibe, like an old married couple.

Shen Youqing looked up at the people at the courtyard gate and said, "What is it? Come in and talk."

Chi Guyuan walked to the table and placed the storage bag he was holding on it. "The reward for first place in talisman drawing."

"Thank you." After expressing his gratitude, Shen Youqing casually asked, "Would you like something to eat?"

Apart from Chu Jianyan, the other three declined.

While eating, Chu Jianyan, who was sitting next to Shen Youqing, said, "The competition between weapon crafters and alchemists is long and a bit boring. We came here to spar with you."

The award ceremony took some time; otherwise, they would have arrived much earlier.

"Still fighting?" Shen Youqing gasped. Just when the others thought she was going to refuse, she said, "Could I use a healing array?"

Seeing that Tantai Ci and Chu Jianyan seemed to be about to give in, Chi Guyuan suggested, "I recommend interrupting them."

Once Shen Youqing uses the healing array, they will definitely be chased away in a chaotic frenzy.

This is not an exaggeration.

Shen Youqing glanced at Chi Guyuan with a longing look.

“Fellow Daoist Chi is right,” Fifth Lord’s indifferent and calm voice rang out.

Is it really necessary?!

Shen Youqing chewed the stir-fried pork fiercely in anger.

"I want to give it a try." Yan Chao smiled gently at Shen Youqing upon first meeting her.

She wanted to understand just how fast Junior Sister Youqing's movement technique really was!
Shen Youqing smiled brightly at Chu Jianyan.

Senior Sister Chu is indeed a good person!

Chi Guyuan did not speak again.

Xiao Ke sat quietly eating on the side, his manners refined and elegant. His presence wasn't particularly strong, but it couldn't be ignored either.

After the meal, Shen Youqing used his spiritual power to clean up the dishes before following them to the training ground for the competition.

Xiao Ke, who had been sitting in the past, sat under the shade of a tree and watched Shen Youqing on the arena.

As soon as the healing array lit up, Shen Youqing shot off like an arrow. Chu Jianyan's reaction wasn't slow, but she was almost sent off the arena.

After barely managing to avoid the wild goose at first sight, I felt a lingering sense of fear.

No wonder Chi Guyuan and Fifth Lord both interrupted Junior Sister Youqing's healing array. With the support of the healing array, her speed was simply terrifying!
"At her speed, perhaps only sword cultivators can keep up with her." Fifth Lord's indifferent voice rang out.

Chi Guyuan pondered, "Perhaps we'll only know after she fights the sword cultivator."

Looking at the situation on the arena, Tantai Ci secretly decided that he should be like Chi Guyuan and the others and absolutely not let Shen Youqing use the healing array!

……

When Shen Youqing finished his two sparring matches and came down from the arena, the man under the shade of the tree was gone.

"The weapon master competition has ended, and Fellow Daoist Xiao has gone to Shengwu Peak to participate in the competition," Chi Guyuan said.

Shen Youqing thought for a moment, then bowed to the group and said, "I'm going to Shengwu Peak to watch my fifth senior brother's match. How about we continue our sparring another day?"

Upon first meeting Yan, the four nodded and watched Shen Youqing leave before continuing their sparring.

When Shen Youqing arrived at Shengwu Peak, the first alchemy competition was almost over.

She slightly dispersed her pressure and walked down to the arena, her gaze immediately falling on the man refining pills on the arena.

Xiao Ke's movements as he refined elixirs were elegant and skillful, earnest yet composed, exuding charm.
