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

Chapter 178 Time Does Not Conflict

Fearing that the two might go to the training ground to spar before finishing their business, Xiao Youqi said, "Finish what you have to say first."

The two of them responded.

“There were demonic cultivators infiltrated into the Qi Xu Secret Realm before.” Xie Changyan’s voice was icy. “The situation at the Fox Fairy Temple can prove that Qiu Zi Village has been colluding with demonic cultivators for a long time. When the secret realm opens, demonic cultivators will definitely come.”

Xie Changyan's analysis was agreed upon by everyone.

"These two skeletons..." Qi Bumian looked at the others, seeking their opinions, "Should I keep them?"

Xiao Youqi's gaze fell on the two coffins.

“My suggestion is to give it to Shen Youqing,” Xiao Youqi’s cold voice rang out. “The Nightmare Ring and the Gray Stone Pendant are on her, as well as the ghost infant.”

Chi Guyuan looked at Shen Youqing, then said with some disapproval, "Isn't this too dangerous?"

Whether it's the skeleton, the Nightmare Ring, or the Gray Stone Pendant, they're all on Shen Youqing, making him a complete moving target.

"I'm fine," Shen Youqing said.

Whether you bring one or two, it makes no difference; at worst, you can just run away.

Just as Jiang Chenying was about to say something, he noticed someone outside and said in a cold voice, "Junior Sister is here."

Shen Youqing leaned against the coffin, her long eyelashes drooping to hide the expression in her eyes, but her aloof demeanor made her seem unapproachable.

Seeing that the others remained silent, Jiang Chenying opened the barrier and let the person in.

Seeing that her senior brothers were all there, Shen Qiuluo was slightly taken aback, then raised her hand to bow and greet them.

"What is it?" Jiang Chenying asked.

Shen Qiulu looked at the group of people, her smile just right, a little shy and a little girlishly playful. "My father just sent word that because I have received the Xuan Nu's inheritance, my family wants to hold a banquet for me. It will be held the day after tomorrow. I would like to invite a few of my senior brothers to attend the banquet."

the day after tomorrow?

This timing... was probably changed at the last minute when we went to Patriarch Shen.

Xiao Youqi glanced sideways at Shen Youqing.

Just then, Shen Youqing looked up, and their eyes met.

Shen Youqing straightened up slightly.

Xie Changyan didn't speak, but grew increasingly cold, his refusal quite obvious.

"There's no conflict in terms of timing," Qi Bumian said calmly. "After attending the banquet the day after tomorrow, I can go to Qianyu City the day after that and make it to the secret realm in time."

But that might be a bit rushed, so he planned to go to Qiuzi Village ahead of time to check the situation, just in case.

As Qi Bumian finished speaking, Shen Qiuluo revealed a faint smile.

"I just went to register with Master. I'll be going to the secret realm too," Shen Qiuluo said happily and expectantly. "It's alright for the senior brothers to go to Qiuzi Village after the banquet."

Jiang Chenying felt a headache coming on when she saw Shen Youqing standing to one side.

These two colleagues couldn't even imagine how many times he would have to break up the fights!
A strong urge to refuse quickly welled up inside me.

“We can go to the Shen family this afternoon. Zhongzhou City is always bustling. Tomorrow I’ll take a few senior brothers around, and after the banquet the day after tomorrow we’ll go to Qianyu City,” Shen Qiuluo said, explaining her plans.

Qi Bumian didn't say anything. He looked at his senior brothers, ready to hear their opinions.

Looking at Shen Qiuluo's well-arranged schedule, Shen Youqing turned his head and glanced at Xiao Youqi.

Xiao Youqi shifted his gaze to Jiang Chenying and the others, and said coldly, "I will definitely be going to Zhongzhou City tomorrow. I need to go back to the Xiao family."

Jiang Chenying responded and then looked at her fellow disciples.

"It won't interfere with our business," Jing Liang said calmly.

As long as it doesn't interfere with their trip to the secret realm, attending a banquet is fine.

“Then let’s go,” Qi Bumian said.

Chi Guyuan had no objection. "Isn't Shen Youqing also from the Shen family? We can continue the discussion after we get to the Shen family."

Jiang Chenying glanced at Xie Changyan, and seeing that he had no reaction, she turned her gaze to Shen Youqing. "Let's go, let's have a match."

They sparred before leaving, otherwise it would be difficult to make a move once they arrived at the Shen family's residence.

Shen Youqing packed up the coffin and left.

Shen Qiulu was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Xie Changyan's icy demeanor, Chi Guyuan, the third senior brother, spoke up, "We'll depart in an hour. Go back and pack your things."

Shen Qiulu didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave. Xiao Youqi said a few words and then left.

School grounds.

After Jiang Chenying and Shen Youqing had fought to a near-complete end, Jiang Chenying jumped off the arena first, then dodged the talisman that Shen Youqing threw at her.

Seeing the crater created by the explosion, Jiang Chenying sheathed his sword and coldly asked, "Was this intentional?"

"I couldn't stop!" Shen Youqing said matter-of-factly, then jumped off the arena.

Shen Quelin grabbed the person and pulled him over.

"What's going on?" Shen Quelin asked directly.

"Let's go back to the Shen family." Shen Youqing gave a faint smile.

Looking at Shen Youqing, whose eyes held no trace of a smile, Shen Quelin paused, "Don't go too far."

"How could that be?" Shen Youqing pulled his arm away and looked at Yue Xunzhu. "Brother, what are your plans?"

"Aren't you going to invite me?" Yue Xunzhu asked with a smile.

Shen Youqing shook his head.

"The Grand Elder is already waiting for us in Zhongzhou City," Yue Xunzhu said gently. "Let's go to Zhongzhou City first."

Shen Youqing nodded, then went back to pack his things.

Because she had just finished sparring with Jiang Chenying, by the time she finished packing her things and came out, everyone else was already waiting.

Seeing Shen Youqing carrying a cloth bag, Shen Quelin found it increasingly irritating and simply reached out to her, "Give me the bag."

Shen Youqing handed over the cloth bag.

The snow-white cat with purple eyes and the camellia in the cloth bag peeked out, and the ghost baby crawled out and hung on Shen Youqing's leg, showing its attitude with its actions.

Shen Quelin reached out and pressed the snow crystal purple-eyed cat and the camellia back down.

It was a bright sunny day, so Shen Youqing picked up the ghost baby, put it on his shoulder, and then opened an umbrella.

The group headed down the mountain. Shen Qiulu followed her senior brothers, chatting casually. The atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Once they reached the foot of the mountain, the group prepared to fly to Green Pine City on their swords.

Shen Youqing had just summoned his longsword when Xiao Ke walked over.

"Give me a ride," Xiao Ke said, looking at Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke tacitly agreed, and then stepped forward.

Yue Xunzhu and Shen Quelin glanced at each other but said nothing.

Knowing that Shen Qiuluo did not yet have a Golden Core, Xie Changting stood on Xie Changyan's sword with a clear sense of self-awareness.

Xie Changyan glanced at his brother but said nothing.

Finally, Jing Liang gave Shen Qiulu a ride.

The group quickly arrived at Green Pine City, and then took the teleportation array to Central Continent City.

As soon as Shen Youqing came out of the teleportation array, he saw Elder Yue and Elder Shen who had been waiting for a long time.

"Young Master, it is Qing." Elder Shen spoke gently, then called out to Shen Qiuluo in a lukewarm tone.

Elder Yue spoke slowly and deliberately, “Young Master, Youqing, Young Master Shen.”

Shen Youqing shook his head and then greeted the two elders.

The others then greeted the two elders.

After a brief greeting and pleasantries, Xiao Youqi asked Xiao Ke, "Are you going home or to the Shen family?"

Even though I know the answer, I still have to go through this process.

Seeing Shen Youqing's gaze, Xiao Ke said, "I'll go to the Shen family with Qingqing."

Shen Youqing turned his gaze away with a blank expression.

Qingqing?

The two elders looked at Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing. Although they did not show it on their faces, they were filled with a thousand thoughts in their hearts.
