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

Chapter 196 Pomegranate
Seeing this clueless group of people, Shen Youqing ignored them and bent down to carefully examine the first coffin.

"The materials used for the coffin... are actually quite easy to find." Shen Youqing looked up and saw that Shen Quelin was looking at him. He said, "There aren't many people who can afford to use this kind of wood."

Shen Quelin nodded.

“We can check the situation in Lianyun City and, while we’re at it, investigate the source of the timber,” Shen Youqing said. Just then, he saw Chi Guyuan squatting down beside the coffin.

After observing the situation outside the coffin, Chi Guyuan stood up and peered inside.

Seeing Chi Guyuan about to fall into the coffin, Jiang Chenying was ready to pull him back at any moment.

There are traces here.

Chi Guyuan's voice rang out from inside the coffin.

Before he finished speaking, the area around the coffin was filled with people, and Shen Youqing, who couldn't squeeze in, watched from a few steps away.

Xie Changyan reached out and pulled his junior brother up, asking in a cold voice, "What?"

After Chi Guyuan steadied himself, he spoke to them, “It’s a mark that looks like a fingernail scratch, and it looks like a pomegranate.”

"Pomegranate? What a coincidence? The girl I'm marrying in place of is also named Pomegranate?" Shen Quelin said without thinking, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly froze.

Pomegranate?

Shen Youqing turned her head to look at Shen Quelin, who was dressed in red, and her mind raced. "If you hadn't been a substitute bride, then it would have been Shiliu who married into the Zhang family. She could indeed buy these expensive timbers after marrying into the Zhang family."

At this point, Shen Youqing gave Chi Guyuan a thumbs up, "You've found a very important clue!"

Looking at Shen Youqing's delighted expression and sincere praise, Chi Guyuan said in a relaxed tone, "It's good that you were able to help."

Jiang Chenying raised her hand and patted her third junior brother on the shoulder, "Let's go to Qiuzi Village!"

Several people nodded.

"Let's split into three groups," Yue Xunzhu suggested. "I'll stay here. Jinjin hasn't been to Qiuzi Village yet, and the Zhang family needs people too."

Xie Changting glanced at his younger brother with a gentle and warm gaze, "My suggestion is to have a sword cultivator take the two talisman masters to Qiuzi Village."

"I'll go," Xie Changyan said to Jiang Chenying, turning his head. "Lianyun City needs you more, Senior Brother."

Jiang Chenying had no objections.

“I want to go.” Jun Su stared intently at Shen Youqing.

Looking at the sickly man, Shen Youqing refused, "You should take good care of yourself."

Jun Su's face was filled with disappointment and sadness.

Unmoved, Shen Youqing, Xie Changyan, and Chi Guyuan hurriedly left.

Qiuzi Village.

Looking at the somewhat naive young girl, Shen Youqing's gaze darkened.

When the family of three saw Xie Changyan return, they asked him questions with a mix of nervousness and worry.

Xie Changyan said a few words briefly, and after receiving their gazes, he could only resign himself to trying to extract information.

After leaving Shiliu's house, the three of them went to the back mountain of Qiuzi Village.

Following their memory, the three found a desolate mountain.

Chi Guyuan looked around and said in a cold voice, "There's a problem with the feng shui here."

Although Xie Changyan couldn't pinpoint the problem, he could sense that the place gave off an uncomfortable feeling.

“That’s the Jun family’s place.” Shen Youqing pointed to a location.

Chi Guyuan walked to Shen Youqing's side, looked in the direction she was pointing, and then looked back before saying, "This further confirms that the second coffin belongs to Miss Qiao Er."

Shen Youqing responded.

“This place has been transformed into an ominous place,” Chi Guyuan said to his second senior brother.

Xie Changyan nodded.

"The Shiliu family, the Zhang family," Shen Youqing pointed out the two locations respectively.

Chi Guyuan did some calculations and looked at Shen Youqing, "They are all inauspicious positions."

Thinking of that somewhat naive but sincere little girl, Shen Youqing fell into deep thought.

What exactly did she go through to become the way she was later?

Xie Changyan frowned slightly. "Is it really her?"

Chi Guyuan nodded.

"That's enough." Shen Youqing said unhurriedly, "The most important person is still Miss Qiao, isn't she?" The one in charge of all this is Qiao Jiusheng, not Shiliu.

Xie Changyan and Chi Guyuan thought about it for a moment and felt that Shen Youqing's words made sense.

When they returned to Lianyun City, Chi Guyuan and Shen Youqing went to the Jun family, while Xie Changyan went to the Zhang family.

Shen Youqing and Chi Guyuan discussed talismans and feng shui along the way.

"Qingqing?"

A familiar voice rang out, and Shen Youqing looked up sharply. Seeing Xiao Youqi and Xiao Ke a few steps away, his eyes lit up.

Seeing the little girl's surprised face, Xiao Ke was both astonished and delighted.

"Senior Brother! Young Master Xiao!"

Shen Youqing walked up with a bright smile, "You two have come at the perfect time!"

Seeing Shen Youqing's overly solicitous behavior, Xiao Youqi's cold eyes held a hint of wariness.

"Let's go, let's go back and talk!"

Shen Youqing raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Having just entered the city, Xiao Youqi asked Shen Youqing, "Do you have a place to stay?"

Shen Youqing nodded.

Jun family.

Standing at the entrance, Xiao Youqi looked at the magnificent main gate with a suspicious gaze at Shen Youqing.

Don't tell him that Shen Youqing lives here.

“I’m currently staying here.” Shen Youqing led the two brothers inside. “Things are a bit complicated, I’ll tell you later.”

Xiao Ke vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Upon arriving at the main courtyard, Jun Su and Yue Xunzhu were playing chess at a stone table, and their relationship seemed quite harmonious.

"Jin Jin."

"lady."

The two players who were playing chess both looked over and their eyes fell on Shen Youqing.

lady?

Xiao Ke's joy at finding Shen Youqing vanished instantly, his gloomy and fierce gaze fixed on the sickly man.

Looking at Xiao Ke's fierce and cold demeanor, Xiao Youqi took two steps back.

Xiao Er looked like a ferocious beast that had discovered its territory had been invaded, its fangs and claws suddenly bared, ready to tear the intruder apart.

Simply put, he's going crazy.

Shen Youqing noticed Xiao Ke's violent nature without even turning around.

"Senior brother."

The two light-hearted words were like a collar around the neck of a ferocious beast, instantly turning the beast from a fierce and ruthless moment into a pitiful and aggrieved one, as it retracted its fangs and claws.

Yue Xunzhu watched this scene with a cold look in her eyes.

"Qingqing." Xiao Ke walked to Shen Youqing's side, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed his warm chest against her back.

Shen Youqing raised his hand and patted Xiao Ke's arm, signaling him to let go.

Xiao Ke lowered his head and rested it on Shen Youqing's shoulder, "Qingqing..."

Shen Youqing raised her hand and covered Xiao Ke's mouth, "We don't need to stand here and talk."

Xiao Ke followed Shen Youqing inside step by step.

Xiao Youqi didn't even glance at Xiao Ke, followed Chi Guyuan into the courtyard, and then nodded to Yue Xunzhu.

Yue Xunzhu nodded, then said to Xiao Youqi, "This is Jun Su, the head of the Jun family."

Xiao Youqi nodded slightly to Jun Su, and Jun Su also nodded politely in return.

"My current identity is Miss Qiao the Second..." Shen Youqing quickly explained the situation.

After hearing this, Xiao Ke was so overwhelmed by a bitter feeling that almost drowned out his reason.

What makes this Jun Su so special?!
Seeing Xiao Er already consumed by jealousy, Xiao Youqi looked at Shen Youqing and gave her a meaningful look.
