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

Chapter 180 Changkang Garden

Jiang Chenying and the others looked at this unfathomable cultivator and already had some guesses in their minds.

This must be the ancestor of the Shen family.

I just don't know what this old ancestor came here for.

Upon seeing this ancestor approach, Shen Quelin instinctively shielded Shen Youqing behind him.

Seeing Shen Quelin's subconscious actions, the ancestor remained silent for a moment.

Shen Youqing stepped out from behind Shen Quelin and bowed, "Ancestor."

Seeing that Shen Youqing was still behaving himself, the old ancestor felt somewhat relieved.

"Here, take this." The ancestor didn't say much, but simply took out a jade slip and handed it over.

Shen Youqing reached out and took it, and after briefly probing with his divine sense, he knew what it was.

The foundation of the Shen family lies in a complete set of sword techniques.

Looking at Shen Youqing's indifferent expression, this ancestor was unsure whether she would throw it away again.

"Thank you, Ancestor." Shen Youqing raised his hand in a salute.

Seeing this, the old matriarch breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that there were outsiders present, she spoke tactfully, "We agree to what your father said before."

Just as Shen Lin said, Shen Qiuluo is not suitable for the position of family head. The other two children are a senior disciple of the sect and a closed-door disciple of a Venerable. After looking around, Shen Youqing is indeed the most suitable.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Youqing roughly understood what it was about.

“I think our ancestors know how to make the right choice.” Shen Youqing’s words were both direct and tactful. She glanced at Shen Quelin beside her, her meaning quite clear.

The old ancestor remained silent for a moment, then took out a storage ring and handed it to Shen Quelin. His attitude and meaning were clear enough.

Shen Youqing is crazy at heart. If the Shen family really falls into her hands... In order for the Shen family to prosper and continue to be passed down, they must protect Shen Quelin, the young master!
Ah, that's a truly flawless plan.

Shen Quelin accepted the items and bowed to the ancestor.

The woman waved her hand, turned around, and disappeared from the spot.

This ancestor arrived suddenly and left quickly.

Shen Quelin put away his storage ring and was about to say something when Shen Qiuluo arrived with several maids.

Seeing her senior brothers standing at the entrance of Shen Youqing's courtyard, Shen Qiulu smiled, a playful and beautiful smile, "Have you all settled in, senior brothers?"

Jiang Chenying nodded.

"If you have any complaints or needs, just let me know," Shen Qiuluo said with a smile, adopting the demeanor of a true host.

Jiang Chenying didn't speak, but Qi Bumian spoke up, "If there are any problems, we will contact Young Master Shen."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiuluo's smile faded slightly.

Shen Quelin walked to Shen Youqing's side and reached out to pat her head.

Shen Youqing tilted his head and glanced at it, then looked back at the courtyard.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked out of the courtyard. Her steps were light and agile. "Miss, don't worry, this old servant is here to guard this courtyard for you. I haven't let any cats or dogs in."

After she finished speaking, the woman glanced at Shen Qiuluo, who was not far away.

The implication of this veiled criticism couldn't be clearer.

Shen Qiulu's smile was about to fade, but she dared not say anything to the woman.

"Aunt Yue." Yue Xunzhu nodded slightly to the woman.

The woman referred to as Aunt Yue is named Yue Shi, and she is a shadow guard kept by the Yue family.

Lunar Eclipse bowed to Yue Xunzhu and Elder Yue, then looked at her master, Shen Youqing.

“Go in,” Shen Youqing said, then added, “put up a sign at the entrance that says… Dogs and Shen Qiuluo are not allowed to enter.”

Lunar Eclipse responded and turned to do it.

Shen Qiulu's barely composed expression almost crumbled.

Shen Youqing turned and went inside, while Shen Quelin followed two steps behind, beckoning the others to come in from the courtyard gate.

When Jiang Chenying and the others walked in, they discovered that there was a hidden world inside.

They hadn't visited any other courtyards, but Shen Youqing's courtyard could only be described with one word: luxurious. Even the most ordinary flower in the flowerbed was a spiritual plant of at least the third grade.

This kind of luxury is not the ostentatious kind, but the understated kind.

Everywhere you look, there is extravagance.

Thinking of the Yue family's Wan Hua Yuan (a type of brothel), Jiang Chenying seemed to understand Shen Youqing's status.

Whether it's the Shen family or the Yue family, she is unique.

When Yue Xunzhu walked in, she looked around and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad." Yue Xunzhu said with some satisfaction, "Jinjin wasn't wronged."

Shen Quelin came in from behind, followed by Xie Changyan who had rushed over.

“This courtyard was originally for Shen Quelin.” Shen Youqing looked around. “But I was in poor health, so my father gave it to me after careful consideration.”

Poor health?

Shen Youqing's words attracted several stares.

Xiao Ke walked over and grabbed Shen Youqing's wrist to examine it.

Shen Youqing tried to pull her wrist away, but seeing that Xiao Ke was holding it tightly, she had no choice but to give up.

“No wonder it’s called Changkang Garden.” Yue Xunzhu suddenly realized, then glanced at Xiao Ke’s tense and cold face before looking away.

Xiao Ke checked Shen Youqing over and only let go of her hand after confirming that there were no problems.

Although I let go, my worries haven't lessened at all.

“The Yue family has taken good care of her.” Seeing Xiao Ke’s still worried look, Shen Youqing said, “She was just a little weak when she was young, but she has recovered now.”

The reason she wasn't sent to the Qingyu Sect when she was young was because she was physically weak and they were afraid she would die there.

Xiao Ke didn't speak, he just looked at her quietly.

Shen Youqing ignored him, had a maid bring over some refreshments, and then released the two coffins.

Hearing Shen Youqing say that he had recovered, these people didn't say anything, but they felt a sense of relief.

"The problems in Qiuzi Village are nothing more than the desire for children, spiritual roots, and the oppression and abuse of women," Shen Youqing said, placing his hand on the coffin.

As the topic was shifted, Jiang Chenying spoke coldly, "If the secret realm reflects this situation, I'm afraid our level of danger is higher than Shen Youqing's."

Shen Youqing was, after all, a girl, but they were men. Their natural gender put them on the opposite side from those women.

"Take care, everyone," Shen Youqing said with considerable sympathy.

Too many innocent women have died in Qiuzi Village. Their resentment is heavier than that of ghosts. If this is really the case in the secret realm, then they... I can't even imagine how miserable they must be!

Shen Quelin waved his hand and joked, "At worst, I'll be your older sister."

At this moment, Shen Quelin had no idea that his joke would one day actually come true.

Shen Youqing rolled her eyes at her.

"If you're separated, reunite as soon as possible," Yue Xunzhu said calmly. "Jinjin and Fellow Daoist Jing are probably in the most danger."

“Fifth Senior Brother is also a possibility,” Shen Youqing said, raising his hand.

Xiao Ke, whose name was called, looked up but did not refute anything. He then moved to Shen Youqing's side and said, "I believe Qingqing will protect me."

Everyone:...

They really can't imitate Xiao Ke's style!

"..." Shen Youqing turned his head to look at the weak and helpless Xiao Ke, and patted him on the shoulder, "Good luck to you."

Xiao Ke immediately drooped his head, looking like a wronged big dog.

Based on her understanding of Xiao Ke, Shen Youqing remained unmoved and began to talk about Qiu Zi Village.

Xiao Ke watched Shen Youqing speak eloquently and secretly reached out to grab her soft hand.

Shen Youqing glanced at the person with a slightly warning look, then continued the conversation.

Jiang Chenying and the others had different opinions about Qiuzi Village. By the time they finished their conversation, it was already lunchtime.

Knowing that Shen Youqing wanted to eat, Jiang Chenying and the others did not disturb him and prepared to go back to meditate and regulate their breathing.
