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

Chapter 169 It seems there will be no one to spar with tomorrow.

Xiao Youqi looked at Shen Youqing, who was openly plotting, and pondered for a moment.

If Shen Youqing obtained the Xuan Nu Diagram, what would she do?

They'll probably keep it tightly under wraps and won't reveal it unless it's absolutely necessary.

“Wealth should be hidden.” Xiao Ke said coldly, “She can’t imagine the allure of the Xuan Nu Diagram. Even with the protection of the Qingyu Sect and the Shen family, she will still suffer.”

Thinking about the constant stream of news that had been coming in lately, Xiao Youqi took a sip of tea.

"Brother, about the Shen family holding such a big banquet..." Xiao Ke looked at his brother.

Xiao Youqi said coldly, "I know."

Shen Youqing looked at the two brothers, then tilted his head to look at his older brother.

Yue Xunzhu raised her hand and patted Shen Youqing's head. "Someone's here."

As the gentle voice faded, several figures appeared at the courtyard gate, approaching from afar.

"Young Master Shen and Young Master Xie are sparring, so they can't draw talismans over there," Chu Jianyan said with some helplessness.

Those two reckless sword cultivators almost got caught in the crossfire, so they couldn't draw any more talismans at the training ground.

Knowing that Shen Youqing had returned, the group reached a consensus and came directly to find him.

Shen Youqing put down his teacup and stood up. "You came to draw talismans with me?"

Upon first seeing the wild goose, it nodded.

Shen Youqing went to an open space to set up a table, and Chu Jianyan and the others nodded to the three people in front of the table.

After the table was set up, several talisman masters began to arrange the paper, ink, and talisman brushes.

Yue Xunzhu got up and went over to take a look. She saw them drawing talismans and talking at the same time. After watching for a while, she prepared to leave.

Xiao Youqi called out to Yue Xunzhu, and the two of them went to finish the unfinished game of chess.

Xiao Ke, the only one with nothing to do, got up and quietly walked to Shen Youqing's side to watch her draw talismans.

As soon as Shen Youqing finished drawing a talisman, she looked up and saw the man two steps away. The distance was very close, but just enough not to interfere with her drawing the talisman.

Xiao Ke used his spiritual power to bring over a teacup, warmed the tea with his spiritual power, and then handed it over.

Shen Youqing took the teacup, drank the tea at the perfect temperature, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to prepare for tomorrow's alchemy?"

Xiao Ke placed the teacup in the corner, saying, "I'll accompany you to see the alchemical text in a while."

Shen Youqing didn't say anything; she put down her teacup and continued drawing talismans.

"Junior Sister Youqing, please give me your guidance," Chu Jianyan said. "This talisman is so difficult to draw neatly."

Shen Youqing leaned over, looked at the talisman in Chu Jianyan's hand, and then began to impart his experience.

Looking at Shen Youqing, who was speaking eloquently, Xiao Ke's eyes were filled with a kind of infatuation.

In less than a year, she went from zero in the art of talisman drawing to being able to communicate with these prodigies.

With talent and hard work, they have grown so brilliantly.

After finishing drawing the talisman in his hand, Chi Guyuan asked Shen Youqing, "Are you busy tomorrow?"

Shen Youqing said, "Let's go to Shengwu Peak to watch the alchemist competition."

After saying that, Shen Youqing asked curiously, "Jiang Chenying and Jing Liang are also going to have a competition, aren't you going?"

Chi Guyuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Go."

Fifth Lord and Tantai Ci finished drawing the talismans one after the other.

Hearing their conversation, Tantai Ci said, "It seems there will be no one to spar with tomorrow."

"I am a human being," Fifth Lord's indifferent voice rang out.

He didn't even go to watch the competition.

Tantai Ci coughed lightly.

"Take a break from work, why not relax for a day?" Chu Jianyan said gently. "Come back and exchange skills after watching the alchemist competition."

Tantai Ci thought for a moment and nodded.

Fifth Lord nodded.

Shen Youqing chatted with them for a while, then turned to the man beside her and said, "Go read a book."

Xiao Ke obediently turned and left to read a book at a stone table not far away.

When Shen Quelin and Xie Changting finished their sparring and came over, the courtyard was brightly lit.

Looking at the several talisman masters gathered around the table, Shen Quelin raised an eyebrow.

He could understand why Chi Guyuan and Chu Jianyan were here, but the young master of the Tantai family and the young master of the Fifth family were notoriously aloof, so why were they here as well?
Shen Youqing, without even looking up, said, "Shen Quelin, you better behave yourself. If you dare hit me, I'll beat you up." "Fine." Shen Quelin's speechless voice rang out. He walked up to Shen Youqing and took the talisman from her table.

Seeing this, Shen Youqing didn't bother to say anything.

Xie Changting walked over to Yue Xunzhu and Xiao Youqi, and seeing that their chess game was at a stalemate, he didn't rush to speak.

As Xiao Youqi pondered his move, Yue Xunzhu, relaxed and composed, looked up and asked, "It seems Young Master Xie has something to say?"

After saying that, Yue Xunzhu used her spiritual power to drag over a stool.

Xie Changting sat down, a gentle smile playing on his slightly upturned lips, his seemingly gentle eyes holding a deep gaze.

"I am fortunate to see the painting of the Mysterious Maiden today," Xie Changting's gentle voice rang out.

When the Xuan Nu Tu was mentioned, Xiao Youqi glanced sideways at Xie Changting, who seemed gentle but was unfathomable.

It seems that Young Master Xie has also become suspicious of this.

Yue Xunzhu was elegant and dignified, her expression unchanged.

Noticing someone approaching the courtyard gate, the group turned around and saw Xie Changyan standing there coldly.

Xie Changting raised his hand and beckoned.

Xie Changyan looked at the lively courtyard with some surprise.

He walked in, bowed, and greeted them. Then he stood behind Xie Changting and said, "I didn't get the spirit sword."

With the sword cultivator competition imminent, the Xie family found a long sword and handed it over to the older brother.

He wouldn't have known if he hadn't asked his father.

"I just got it yesterday, I forgot." Xie Changting coughed lightly, then took out a brand new longsword from his storage ring and handed it over. "Go try it out and see if it suits your hand."

"You're not allowed to try it in the yard!" Shen Youqing's voice came from outside.

Xie Changyan turned to look at the talismans on the table, sheathed his longsword, and coldly said, "Hmm."

Seeing Xie Changyan standing behind him, not intending to leave, Xie Changting said nothing.

"How was it?" Yue Xunzhu asked gracefully, continuing the previous topic.

Xie Changting looked at the two young masters; it seemed they knew something.

When the Xuan Nu painting was mentioned, Tantai Ci and the Fifth Prince also listened attentively.

Chu Jianyan and Chi Guyuan were both focused on the talismans, and they were talking to Shen Youqing.

"It seems I'm not the only one who thinks there's a problem," Xie Changting said gently.

Xie Changting, who was usually tactless, became blunt, which drew the attention of the young masters.

"I suggest you go and get involved," Shen Youqing said to Tantai Ci and Fifth Jun.

After thinking for a moment, the two put down their talisman brushes and went over.

Seeing the two young masters who brought their own stools, Yue Xunzhu looked up at Shen Youqing.

I have a feeling that these two young masters will be corrupted by Jinjin.

"Young Master Xie is very concerned about this matter," Xiao Youqi's cold voice rang out.

Xie Changting smiled and put it rather tactfully, "Changyan is a bit naive, I'm not comfortable with him."

More than anyone else, he hoped that Shen Qiuluo's Xuan Nu painting was fake.

Because once Shen Qiuluo obtains the true inheritance of the Mystic Maiden, the Xie family will definitely force Changyan to become her Daoist partner for their own benefit.

He didn't want the banquet to be unhappy.

Unfortunately, the investigation has made no progress during this period.

Shan Xie Changyan was completely cold.

Xiao Youqi took out the photo-recording stone.

After viewing the images captured on the photo stone, Xie Changting and the others fell into deep thought.

"It might be due to her cultivation level; the Mysterious Maiden Diagram isn't clear or complete," Fifth Lord's indifferent and calm voice rang out.

Tantai Ci pondered, "It does indeed look like a painting of the Mysterious Woman."

The inheritance of the Mysterious Woman is of great importance. When Shen Qiuluo revealed that she was carrying the Mysterious Woman's Diagram, he asked his family to send him historical records.

The Xuan Nu picture recorded in historical records is no different from this Xuan Nu picture.

"If it were so easy to tell, the Qingyu Sect would have figured it out long ago." Xie Changting's gentle tone was only superficial; beneath that gentleness lay a chill.

The atmosphere here is somewhat cold, somber, and quiet.
