Chapter 223 She's notoriously vengeful.

When Xiao Ke and Jing Liang arrived, Shen Youqing was still drawing talismans.

Shen Xingzhi and Shen Quelin had already gone back to meditate and regulate their breathing, leaving only her and Xie Changyan here.

"Finished refining the pills?" Shen Youqing asked without looking up.

Xiao Ke responded, feeling that the temperature around him had not yet dissipated. He took a few steps back and stood five steps away from Shen Youqing.

Jing Liang walked over and took a look. Seeing Shen Youqing drawing talismans so earnestly, he was somewhat surprised.

After all, her turtle-like talisman was truly unforgettable.

Now she draws talismans honestly, which is quite unlike her.

After finishing the last few drawings, Shen Youqing tossed aside the talisman brush and stretched.

Xie Changyan left after verifying that everything was correct.

Seeing that the two seemed to have something to say, Jing Liang left.

While packing his things, Shen Youqing asked, "Do you know about this?"

Xiao Ke responded.

"My brother told me that it's good that the matter has been resolved." Xiao Ke walked to Shen Youqing's side, and then she handed him a stack of talismans.

"Huh?" Xiao Ke was puzzled.

Shen Youqing turned his head to look, "Here, you can use it."

She has been drawing talismans almost non-stop during this period, and there are so many finished talismans in her storage ring.

I'll send some talismans to my senior brothers and sisters later.

Talismans can be used and sold, and for her now, they are the perfect gift!
Xiao Ke reached out and took the talisman, storing it in his storage ring. "What would you like to eat?"

"Aren't you tired?" Shen Youqing looked at Xiao Ke after putting away his things, noticing the weariness in his eyes. "Let me find some food from my storage ring to fill my stomach."

I bought a lot of food in Qingsong City before. Time was frozen inside the storage ring, so it looked the same when I took it out as when I put it in.

"Okay," Xiao Ke replied.

When the two returned to the courtyard from the training ground, the courtyard was bustling with activity.

Shen Youqing took out several dishes from his storage ring, and the two sat down at the stone table, eating while listening to Liang Shimu and the others gossip.

Xiao Youqi walked over to Xiao Ke and said, "The matter has become common knowledge."

Xiao Ke responded.

Since this matter has nothing to do with Qingqing anymore, let's make a huge fuss about it!
"I'm afraid we might not be able to find out." Although Xiao Youqi did not name names, everyone in the courtyard knew who he was talking about.

Lin Youran stopped gossiping and instead craned her neck to ask, "Why can't we find anything?"

Surely the material couldn't have just appeared out of thin air?

"It's too clean." Yue Xunzhu's cool voice rang out. "The material is as if it appeared out of thin air. Neither the Yue family nor the Xiao family has found anything so far. I'm afraid the Qingyu Sect will also let it go in the end."

“No.” Shen Youqing’s voice rang out with some certainty. “In the end, there will definitely be a scapegoat for this.”

If the investigation by the Punishment Hall is allowed to continue, Xia Zhirou will likely be pushed out by Shen Qiuluo to be a scapegoat.

Xia Zhirou is not the type to sit idly by and wait for her fate.

Yue Xunzhu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Seeing his older brother's somewhat surprised expression, Shen Youqing asked, "Shall we bet?"

"What have you set your sights on this time?" Yue Xunzhu asked, somewhat amused.

Shen Youqing's eyes crinkled into a smile. "We'll see when the time comes."

Yue Xunzhu looked at Shen Youqing with some helplessness, but finally agreed.

"Tell me your thoughts," Yue Xunzhu said. Her mysterious manner suggested that Jinjin had discovered something they didn't yet know.

Shen Youqing raised the bowl in his hand, indicating that she should eat first.

The moon seeks the bamboo and nods.

After the meal, Xiao Ke went to clear the dishes, while Shen Youqing said, "If the Criminal Investigation Department investigates further, Xia Zhirou will definitely become Shen Qiuluo's scapegoat."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Youran and the others had already surrounded him.

"Xia Zhirou?" Lin Jinyao frowned. "What does this have to do with her?"

Aren't they just innocent, unlucky people?

“This was definitely something she and Shen Qiuluo planned together,” Shen Youqing said with certainty.

These people didn't quite understand Shen Youqing's certainty.

Shen Qiulu did this because she had a long-standing grudge against her junior sister. What was Xia Zhirou trying to gain by doing this?
Junior Sister has the support of the Shen and Yue families!
"What was her reason for attacking you?" Shen Quelin asked, focusing on the key point.

Xia Zhirou and Shen Youqing had no enmity whatsoever, so what was Xia Zhirou's reason for doing this?
Shen Youqing coughed twice and said under the curious gazes of everyone, "You might not believe it, but she likes Chi Guyuan."

Everyone:?
"How did you know?" Shen Quelin asked instinctively. "Aren't you a blockhead? When did you become so perceptive?"

Shen Quelin's three consecutive questions immediately annoyed Shen Youqing.

As Shen Youqing made his move, Shen Quelin immediately flashed behind Yue Xunzhu.

Yue Xunzhu was both annoyed and amused at being used as a shield.

"What does it have to do with you that she likes Chi Guyuan?" Liang Shimu asked, not quite understanding. "If you said she likes Fifth Junior Brother, then I could understand."

Xiao Ke, who had just come out of the kitchen, looked at Liang Shimu with a cold gaze upon hearing this.

Liang Shimu silently made a shushing gesture.

Lin Jinyao scratched her head, thinking about it and finding it utterly absurd. "You don't even like Chi Guyuan, so why is Xia Zhirou targeting you?"

I don’t understand, I really don’t understand!
"..." Lin Youran rolled her eyes. "We know that Chi Guyuan and Junior Sister are often together to spar and exchange talismans, but does Xia Zhirou know that?"

Lin Jinyao raised her doubts, "Even if she doesn't know, doesn't she have eyes? Except for Fifth Junior Brother, Junior Sister treats everyone else the same."

“Then there’s a problem with Chi Guyuan.” Lin Youran said without hesitation. “Perhaps Chi Guyuan’s attitude towards Junior Sister has made Xia Zhirou feel threatened.”

"May I ask you, what sense of crisis could Xia Zhirou possibly feel from his attitude of chasing after me and hitting me?" Shen Youqing couldn't help but ask.

Thinking of Shen Youqing's disheveled appearance on the arena, everyone fell silent.

Seeing Shen Youqing's resentful expression, the group felt both sorry for her and wanted to laugh.

However, they couldn't find a reasonable explanation for Xia Zhirou's reasons for the time being.

“She’s sick,” Shen Quelin concluded. “Like Shen Qiuluo, she’s mentally ill.”

Shen Quelin's statement was echoed by Lin Youran and a few others.

That explanation makes sense!
"Whether this will happen as Shen Youqing said, we'll find out when the time comes," Shen Quelin said coldly, arms crossed.

"Since she dared to do this, she must have been prepared to bear the consequences," Yue Xunzhu said calmly.

Shen Youqing tilted her head.

"To be honest, if it weren't for my fourth senior brother discovering the difference in latitude and longitude, I would have had a hard time extricating myself from this matter." Shen Youqing took a sip of tea from the teacup and continued, "Their scheme was indeed perfect."

To this day, she still doesn't know where that piece of material came from.

Shen Qiuluo and Xia Zhirou are quite capable.

"What do you want to do?" Shen Quelin asked.

Before Shen Youqing could answer, the others looked at Shen Quelin with curiosity.

Why would Young Master Shen ask that question?
“She’s notoriously vengeful,” Shen Quelin said, pointing at Shen Youqing. “If she didn’t get revenge, she wouldn’t be Shen Youqing.”
