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

Chapter 177 The Secret Realm Will Emerge in Three Days

Xie Changting's thoughts were not outwardly apparent. He looked at the noble and elegant Yue Xunzhu and said gently, "The scenery of the Yue family is beautiful. I wonder if Young Master Yue would invite me and Changyan to stay for half a month?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Yue Xunzhu's face.

Shen Quelin glanced at Shen Youqing, and the brother and sister quickly exchanged a look.

It seems to be because of Shen Qiuluo.

Given how much this young master Xie values ​​Xie Changyan, he would never allow Xie Changyan to attend the banquet at the Shen family's residence.

The best and simplest way to avoid attending a banquet is to have something else to do.

Xie Changting looked at Yue Xunzhu with a smile, patiently waiting for his answer.

“Of course.” Yue Xunzhu smiled. “When we go back, we will invite Young Master Xie and Second Young Master Xie.”

Xie Changting nodded.

We're all smart people, so there's no need to spell out the problem too clearly.

After a brief chat, Shen Youqing prepared to return to the training ground to continue drawing talismans.

However, she saw Xiao Ke at the gate as soon as she came out of Xie Changting's courtyard.

Judging from his posture, he was definitely there specifically to ambush someone.

"Aren't you refining pills?" Shen Youqing spoke first, not giving Xiao Ke a chance to speak first.

Instead of answering, Xiao Ke asked, "After the sect conference, we have a two-week break. Where do you plan to go?"

Shen Youqing looked at Xiao Ke, his eyes seeming to ask him why he was asking this.

"I want to go with you." Xiao Ke looked at Shen Youqing, his peach blossom eyes slightly curved. "Cultivation cannot be abandoned halfway."

That sounds so grand and dignified.

"The plan is to go to the Yue family's house," Shen Youqing said frankly as she walked towards the training ground. "But if something unexpected happens, then we'll have to do it another way."

Xiao Ke responded and followed closely behind Shen Youqing, saying little and acting like a little tail.

As they approached the training ground, Shen Youqing stopped and turned to look at the little tail behind him.

Under Xiao Ke's slightly expectant gaze, Shen Youqing asked, "Do you want to go to the Yue family?"

"want."

A clear, deep voice rang out without hesitation.

Shen Youqing looked at the man whose eyes were filled with a smile, responded, and went to draw the talisman.

……

Five days later.

The Qingyu Sect's sect conference is about to conclude, and the atmosphere throughout the sect has shifted from serious to relaxed, with almost all disciples looking forward to a two-week break.

Second Peak.

Zhang Youli looked at the group of disciples and young masters of aristocratic families and said solemnly, "You are free to do as you please for the next half month. You may go down the mountain or stay on the Second Precept Peak..."

After giving his instructions, Zhang Youli said, "The secret realm near Qiuzi Village will be revealed in three days. The realm is stable, but very dangerous. Those who are interested can go and try it, but remember to inform the elders before you go..."

Shen Youqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

We've found a place to go!

After Zhang Youli finished speaking, Shen Youqing raised his hand without hesitation, "Sect Leader Zhang, I want to go to the secret realm!"

It's perfect – I can gain experience without having to go back!
Jiang Chenying and the other four, along with Xiao Youqi, also bowed in unison to show their intention to go.

Seeing this, Zhang Youli said, "Those who want to go to the secret realm, please register here. The elders will lead the way."

Xie Changting looked at his younger brother who had gone to register, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes and brows.

This secret realm has appeared at just the right time!
Shen Qiuluo almost gritted her teeth to pieces when she saw her senior brothers eagerly registering.

The secret realm will be open for at least ten days, which means that the second senior brother and the others will definitely miss the banquet that the Shen family is holding for her!
This secret realm never appears earlier or later, but of all times! It's simply unbelievable!

No one knew about Shen Qiuluo's hidden resentment.

After registration closed, Zhang Youli gave them a few instructions and then went to find them a team leader.

Shen Xingzhi walked up to Shen Quelin and his sister and said, "Father sent word that you are not returning to the Shen family?" A cold look appeared between Shen Quelin's brows.

"What would I do if I went back?" Shen Youqing asked coldly, his arms crossed. "I'm afraid Father and those old fogies don't want me to go back."

Shen Xingzhi paused for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

"Shen Youqing." Jiang Chenying walked over, her voice cold. "If you have something to discuss, shall we move over?"

Shen Youqing turned her head to look at her, "Where are you going?"

"This way." Jiang Chenying raised her hand in invitation and turned to lead the way.

Seeing that Jiang Chenying was heading in the direction of his residence, Shen Youqing didn't say anything.

Xiao Youqi also left with Jiang Chenying and the others. The group of seven moved on, probably to talk about Qiuzi Village.

Jiang Chenying's residence was quite spacious, so Qi Bumian could fit two coffins in it.

"Are all the demonic artifacts on you?" Xiao Youqi asked Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing said, "The Nightmare Ring and that gray stone pendant are both with me."

After saying that, Shen Youqing handed over the two pendants.

Xiao Youqi didn't take it, and the others didn't try either. Seeing this, Shen Youqing had no choice but to put away the two magical artifacts.

“These two pendants might be the key items,” Xiao Youqi said as he bent down to search for the magical artifacts inside the coffin.

Shen Youqing fell into deep thought.

"Didn't you find anything with the Xiao family?" Xie Changyan's icy voice rang out.

Xiao Youqi answered without looking up, "The Xiao family has found out a lot of things, but my father didn't tell me."

"Is this to give you some experience?" Shen Youqing blurted out.

Xiao Youqi responded.

"Young Master Xie, Young Master Yue, Young Master Shen, and Fellow Daoist Xiao are also going to the secret realm this time." Chi Guyuan said thoughtfully, then said in surprise, "Not a single other person has signed up."

The first time they encountered a secret realm, the level of danger would be higher, but they were all direct disciples of various sects and young masters of various families, so it was impossible for them to be intimidated.

Seeing that Chi Guyuan seemed completely unaware, Shen Youqing asked in surprise, "Don't you know that the Shen family is going to hold a banquet for your junior sister?"

Shen Youqing's words immediately puzzled the four fellow disciples.

What kind of banquet?
How come they don't know?
Xiao Youqi stopped searching and looked up at his well-informed protégés, his cold voice filled with suspicion, "She didn't tell you?"

Jiang Chenying shook her head. "I don't know about this."

Perhaps because they were always cultivating, the junior sister couldn't find the time to inform them?

"Because of the Mysterious Maiden Diagram?" Jing Liang blurted out abruptly.

Shen Youqing nodded.

Jing Liang thought about it seriously for a while, and finally said, "We are going to the secret realm. I can only prepare more gifts for her later when I have time. It can be considered as a congratulatory gift and an apology."

His words drew agreement and support from his fellow students.

Shen Youqing stood with his arms crossed, saying, "This time in the secret realm should give us a chance to find out the origins of these two corpses."

"I wonder if they'll all stay together or split up within the secret realm," Jiang Chenying said coldly, glancing at Shen Youqing with a hint of unease.

Shen Youqing glared at him, "What are you looking at? I'm at the early stage of the Golden Core realm!"

"..." Jiang Chenying withdrew her gaze, realizing that her worries were unnecessary.

Instead of worrying about this troublemaker, we should worry about our fifth junior brother, after all, he is an alchemist.

“If we split up after entering the secret realm, Fifth Junior Brother will be in the most danger.” Jiang Chenying looked at Jing Liang. “The secret realm shouldn’t be limited to just our group. If there are other cultivators…”

Jing Liang asked directly, "Is Senior Brother afraid of attracting demonic cultivators?"

Jiang Chenying nodded, then looked at Shen Youqing.

Seeing that Jiang Chenying was really worried, Shen Youqing raised his hand, "How about we have a fight?"

Jiang Chenying nodded without hesitation.

Both the Nightmare Ring and the Gray Stone Pendant are on Shen Youqing. If any demonic cultivators infiltrate, Shen Youqing will be in the most danger!
