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

Chapter 185 The host and guest enjoy themselves
“My daughter is timid and cowardly. I’ll believe you if you say she’s been bullied, but if you say she’s seducing people, ha.” The head of the Tantai family couldn’t help but sneer.

The head of the Duanmu family gave the head of the Tantai family an awkward smile, "This is child's play..."

The head of the Tantai family wasn't buying it.

Seeing that the matter had nothing to do with Shen Youqing, Shen Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the atmosphere between the two family heads gradually becoming awkward, Shen Lin didn't bother to stop them, since it had nothing to do with him anyway!
Taking advantage of this moment, Shen Quelin asked Shen Youqing in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Upon hearing this concerned inquiry, Shen Lin looked up sharply.

No!

This unfilial son doesn't look like anything's wrong at all!

The one who's in trouble is his father!

Shen Youqing looked at Shen Quelin as if he were an idiot.

Shen Quelin reached out and tidied the strands of hair that were tangled in Shen Youqing's hair. "It's alright."

"If you say any more, Father will be furious," Shen Youqing said in a low voice.

Shen Quelin glanced at his father and saw that his father's gaze was about to burn two holes in him, but he didn't care at all.

His father couldn't bear to do anything to him.

The Duanmu family head was rendered speechless by the Tantai family head's two sentences and had no choice but to call Duanmu Yuanyi's fiancé over.

Before long, the Duanmu family head's guards hurriedly arrived with a young man.

"Junior Mo Mingfei greets the head of the family."

The young man is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, with decent talent and appearance.

The head of the Tantai family looked at her critically for a while, and finally let out a cold laugh.

“Father, I didn’t.” Tantai Leyao stood beside the Tantai family head. Although she was timid and cowardly, she still wanted to defend herself.

The head of the Tantai family raised his hand and patted his daughter's head. "Father knows."

Upon hearing this, Tantai Leyao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at his timid and cowardly younger sister, Tantai Ci didn't know what to say.

Mo Mingfei, who was suddenly summoned, was completely bewildered, but his gaze kept drifting towards Tantai Leyao.

Duanmu Yuanyi saw Mo Mingfei's gaze and still dared to look at Tantai Leyao, his unfriendly eyes fixed on Tantai Leyao.

This vixen!
She even dared to seduce her fiancé in public!

Seeing this, what else did the head of the Tantai family not know?

This guy named Mo Mingfei likes Le Yao, but Le Yao is obviously indifferent. However, Duanmu Yuanyi blames Le Yao for the mistake.

Before the Tantai family head could speak, the Duanmu family head had already shouted at Duanmu Yuanyi, "Apologize!"

Duanmu Yuanyi trembled in fright. Under the stern gaze of the Duanmu family head, she turned to apologize to Tantai Leyao.

Seeing Duanmu Yuanyi's somewhat reluctant expression, the Tantai family head chuckled, "Family head Duanmu, isn't a verbal apology rather insincere?"

The head of the Duanmu family spoke up sensibly, "The compensation will be delivered later. Please forgive me, Miss Tantai."

Tantai Leyao responded softly.

Seeing that the matter had been largely resolved, Shen Lin spoke up at the opportune moment, "The banquet is about to begin, please proceed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lin raised his hand in invitation and took the lead towards the flower hall.

Shen Quelin and Shen Youqing followed side by side.

Seeing that Xiao Ke wanted to follow, Xiao Youqi reached out and grabbed his arm, reminding him with his eyes to restrain himself a little.

The flower hall is large enough to accommodate these guests without any problem.

When the group arrived at the flower hall, Shen Qiuluo, who had been dressed up again, also came over.

Shen Youqing walked to his seat and sat down.

After tidying herself up, Shen Qiuluo returned looking as radiant as ever. The slap mark on her face had disappeared, and her somewhat disheveled hair had been neatly combed back into place.

Seeing Shen Qiuluo as if nothing had happened, many people secretly admired her excellent attitude.

After Shen Qiuluo took her seat, uniformly dressed maids filed in carrying delicious dishes made of spiritual vegetables. The food on the table was exquisite and full of spiritual energy, clearly indicating its high value.

After the dishes were served, Shen Lin raised his wine glass and said a few words. As the elegant music played, everyone began to pick up their chopsticks.

After a few rounds of drinks, the conversation gradually turned to the inheritance of the Mysterious Woman.

Under the spotlight, Shen Qiuluo regained a great deal of her sense of superiority, and she looked at Shen Youqing with a sense of triumph.

Shen Youqing, who was sitting at his seat, was eating with his head down and was completely unaware of what was happening.

Seeing Shen Youqing eating intently, Shen Quelin muttered "heartless" to himself before looking away.

Shen Xingzhi's seat was right next to Shen Youqing's, and the two sisters were exactly the same, engrossed in their food.

Shen Lin saw this and ordered that more food be added to the dishes for the two sisters.

As for Shen Qiuluo, she was mindful of her status and would never imitate the starving ghost behavior of Shen Xingzhi and Shen Youqing.

"To be honest, we've never seen the Mysterious Maiden Painting before. Would Miss Shen be so kind as to show it to us?"

"Miss Shen is exceptionally talented, and now she has received the inheritance of the Mystic Maiden. She is destined to be the future leader of the righteous path!"

"At the Five Sects Conference in a few years, Miss Shen will definitely achieve a good ranking!"

……

One compliment after another reached Shen Qiuluo's ears.

Shen Qiuluo exhaled, her beautiful smile perfectly timed.

Looking at the poised and confident Shen Qiuluo, Shen Lin relaxed considerably, a look of gratified fatherly affection on his face.

The atmosphere in the flower hall was very pleasant.

When Shen Qiuluo revealed the Xuan Nu painting, the atmosphere in the flower hall became unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

"It really is a painting of the Mysterious Maiden!"

"It's a painting of the Mysterious Maiden!"

"Miss Shen's future is bright!"

……

Elder Yue glanced at his young master, then raised his wine cup to Shen Lin, "Congratulations, Patriarch Shen. However... I've heard that the birth of the Mysterious Maiden's inheritance is always accompanied by extraordinary celestial phenomena. Is this truly the Mysterious Maiden's inheritance?"

This question immediately plunged the atmosphere in the flower hall into a deathly silence.

Unfortunately, the person who spoke was the Grand Elder of the Yue family, who possessed both strength and status.

Faced with doubts and difficulties, Shen Qiuluo tried her best to maintain a smile on her face.

"I think Elder Yue is right. Without any innate phenomena, is this really the inheritance of the Mysterious Maiden?" Lin Jinran's somewhat arrogant voice rang out.

Lin Jinran glanced around, completely ignoring the stares he received, and said to himself, "Don't get it wrong, or you'll be disappointed!"

Compared to Elder Yue, Venerable Lin was even more direct and ruthless.

However, this Venerable Lin's mouth is notoriously sharp, and many people have gotten used to it.

Shen Qiulu was already feeling a bit embarrassed.

Damn the Yue family and Lingxiao Sect!
They must have deliberately come to embarrass me!

Shen Youqing looked up while chewing something, then looked away and focused on eating.

“There are indeed no unusual natural phenomena,” Meng Qinian’s calm and indifferent voice rang out. “However, so far our sect has not found anything amiss. Rest assured, our sect will continue to investigate.”

Shen Qiuluo didn't think her inheritance was fake; she sat there confidently and calmly.

With Meng Qinian speaking first, and Shen Qiuluo's confident and composed demeanor, many people were willing to believe that her Xuan Nu inheritance was real!

As for the lack of any innate extraordinary phenomena, perhaps Heaven has its own plans?
With Meng Qinian's assurance, Elder Yue and Lin Jinran said nothing more.

Putting aside the previous little incident, the banquet was generally well-received by both the hosts and guests.

After the banquet ended, the guests gradually left their seats.

Jiang Chenying and the others followed the maid back to their residence to wait for others.

Shen Youqing was caught by Xiao Ke just a few steps after leaving the flower hall.
