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

Chapter 189 An Abandoned Courtyard
at the same time.

Several people were gathered at the back gate of a temple.

"I've already inquired; that's Qiuzi Village over there," Qi Bumian pointed in a direction.

The men who had already gathered looked in the direction Qi Bumian was pointing.

Compared to Qiuzi Village outside the secret realm, Qiuzi Village here is much more vibrant.

Chi Guyuan shared the information he had gathered: "There's a happy occasion in the village today. The Zhang family's son is going to force himself on a girl from Qiuzi Village. The wedding procession has already entered the village, and given their pace, they'll rest at this temple for the night."

Jing Liang frowned slightly.

"Oh, right, there's another place here I've never heard of, Lianyun City." Qi Bumian's expression turned serious. "The Zhang family lives in Lianyun City."

Yue Xunzhu's face showed a hint of contemplation.

"Qiuzi Village definitely needs to be investigated," Xie Changting said in a gentle tone.

The whole thing started because of Qiuzi Village, so Qiuzi Village definitely needs to be thoroughly investigated.

“That girl should be saved too.” Jing Liang looked at the group. “I’ve investigated. The son of the Zhang family is a wicked man who is greedy for beauty and wants to force himself on this girl.”

"What happens after we rescue her?" Yue Xunzhu asked rationally. "If the bride disappears without a trace, we might alert the enemy."

If they could use spiritual power in the secret realm, everything would be fine, but since they can't use spiritual power now, they have to be extremely cautious in their actions!
“I’ll go,” Jing Liang volunteered, “I’ll take the bride’s place.”

"You're kidding me." Qi Bumian reached out and pulled his fifth junior brother aside. "You can't use spiritual power in the secret realm. You're practically powerless. I'm speechless."

Looking at the two brothers, Yue Xunzhu and Xie Changting ultimately preferred to let Qi Bumian go.

Qi Bumian is, after all, a physical cultivator. Even if he can't use spiritual power, his physique and strength are still there, and he has the ability to protect himself.

"It would be better if my fifth junior brother and I went to investigate Qiuzi Village," Chi Guyuan suggested.

Xie Changting looked at Yue Xunzhu, ready to hear his opinion.

"Young Master Xie, please go and investigate with those two." Yue Xunzhu said in an elegant and composed tone, "I will follow Fellow Daoist Qi in the shadows so that I can provide assistance at any time."

Xie Changting nodded.

The five quickly discussed their plan and waited for nightfall.

As darkness fell, the joyous sounds of music and celebration drew ever closer.

The Zhang family's wedding procession had already made arrangements with the temple, and the bridal sedan chair entered the temple and stopped in an open space.

"Pomegranate Girl, you'll have to make do in the sedan chair for the night," the matchmaker said to the bride inside.

The matchmaker wasn't annoyed that the bride didn't respond.

Jiang Chenying and Xie Changyan, dressed in coarse linen clothes and with soot smeared on their faces, were asked to leave to rest.

As night fell, the temple quieted down.

Qi Bumian climbed over the wall and rushed into the bridal sedan chair while the guards were changing shifts.

Shen Quelin, who was dozing off, felt someone rapidly approaching. As soon as he opened his eyes, a hand slashed at him.

Shen Quelin quickly raised his hand to block.

!

Something is wrong!
Qi Bumian's gaze sharpened.

As the red veil was pulled off by the well-defined fingers, Qi Bumian was dumbfounded.

Shen Youqing?!

Shen Quelin, who ripped off the red veil, looked at Qi Bumian, who was so close to him, and his lips twitched slightly.

What is this called?
The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple; people don't even recognize their own kind?
"What's going on?" Shen Quelin asked in a low voice.

The deep, magnetic voice made Qi Bumian's body tremble. He whispered to confirm the identity, "Young Master Shen?"

"Otherwise what?" Shen Quelin was somewhat speechless.

Who else could he be?
Qi Bumian withdrew his hand, squatted in the cramped bridal sedan chair, and whispered their plan.

After listening, Shen Quelin explained their plan.

Upon hearing that his two senior brothers were also there, Qi Bumian whispered, "I'll go find them and come back later."

Shen Quelin responded.

After an incense stick had burned, it wasn't Qi Bumian who arrived, but Yue Xunzhu.

Seeing the mockery in his cousin's eyes, Shen Quelin felt unusually embarrassed and annoyed.

"It's quite pretty," Yue Xunzhu said jokingly in a low voice.

Shen Quelin was utterly helpless. He shifted his body to the side, making room for someone to sit. "What do you mean?"

Yue Xunzhu became more serious and whispered their plan.

After listening, Shen Quelin seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

“I didn’t sense any spiritual energy within the secret realm, and the guards in the wedding procession didn’t show any spiritual energy fluctuations either. This must be a rule of the secret realm. In that case, we can wipe out the Zhang family in one fell swoop first,” Shen Quelin said in a low voice, revealing his thoughts.

If they follow the normal course of events, they will be in a very passive position.

Four sword cultivators were more than capable of taking down the Zhang family.

Since we have the capability, why not turn the tables and take the initiative into their hands?

Yue Xunzhu estimated their strength and said, "That's fine."

Shen Quelin nodded.

“Since spiritual power cannot be used in the secret realm, there is no need to worry too much about Jinjin,” Yue Xunzhu said in a low voice.

Jin Jin's physical abilities after body tempering are beyond the reach of ordinary people; most people can't beat her, especially since she also carries a ghost infant.

"Are you worried she'll cause a ruckus in the secret realm?" Shen Quelin asked in a low voice.

Yue Xunzhu fell silent.

……

Jun family.

Jun Su stood outside, pointing at the brightly lit house, and roared at the steward and guards beside him, "Am I the master or is she the master?!"

Disrupting the wedding ceremony is one thing!
Now they want to take the best room all to themselves?!

That was a house he had just had built, and he hadn't slept in it for even a day!
The steward, with a mournful face, said, "Madam is indeed the mistress of this manor... Master, please bear with her! None of our many guards can beat Madam!"

Those guards who had been severely beaten were still lying in bed. The doctor examined them and exclaimed that the beating was too harsh; if it had been any worse, they might have died.

That lady is like a demon; no one dares to mess with her!

Jun Su was so angry that he leaned back.

Where did this evil spirit come from?!

"Squeak-"

Jun Su shuddered, his wary and fearful gaze fixed on the door that had been opened.

Having changed out of her wedding gown and into a simple long dress, Shen Youqing stood at the doorway, looking at the group of people a few steps away. "What are you doing?"

"me……"

Seeing the man cowering so much he was practically curling up in a ball, Shen Youqing waved his hand. "Let's go."

Jun Su looked at this cold, aloof, and difficult-to-get-along-with woman.

His mind kept telling him that this was Miss Qiao Er, but he felt that this was not Miss Qiao Er.

Therefore, Jun Su asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Just as Shen Youqing was about to open his mouth to introduce himself, he suddenly found himself unable to speak.

It was as if something in the dark was stopping her.

"Who do you think I am?" Shen Youqing asked without changing his expression, then went back into the house and closed the door.

To avoid angering this living devil, the steward and guards quickly helped Jun Su leave.

inside the house.

Shen Youqing held the ghost baby, a thoughtful look in his eyes and brows.

Once you obtain an identity, you cannot reveal your true identity to others.

"Mother, things~" the ghost baby hugged Shen Youqing, reminding her.

Shen Youqing snapped out of her reverie and calmly replied, "No rush."

When the night was deep and quiet, the room was pitch black.

Shen Youqing, who had already gone to bed, got up, tossed the ghost baby onto her shoulder, and then quietly left through the window.

With the ghost baby guiding the way, Shen Youqing quickly found his destination.

An abandoned courtyard.
