Chapter 279 Why didn't you ask him for help?
When they reached the fork in the road, Shen Wuye smiled at Shen Youqing and then headed towards the Shen family's encampment.

Although Shen Youqing was puzzled by Shen Wuye's strange attitude, she did not press him for details.

When they arrived at the Yue family's place, Yue Xunzhu had already arrived.

"Brother!" Shen Youqing skipped over in a few steps. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Yue Xunzhu took out a plain white flowerpot and handed it over.

A tender shoot has sprouted from the flowerpot.

"It's sprouted?!" Shen Youqing took the flowerpot, her eyes lighting up instantly. She looked at Yue Xunzhu with eyes full of emotion and joy, "Brother, how can you be so kind!"

Looking at the little girl who was so happy she was about to jump for joy, Yue Xunzhu's gaze softened. "Who told me to be your brother?"

Shen Youqing placed the flowerpot in her hand into the green branch entwined flower bracelet.

Looking at the little girl whose eyes and brows were beaming with joy, Yue Xunzhu said, "There's something I need to tell you."

"About my brother?" Shen Youqing tilted his head to look at Yue Xunzhu. Seeing his surprised expression, he smiled smugly and said, "I'm so clever!"

Yue Xunzhu raised her hand and tapped her forehead, then spoke gently, "The reason Shen Wuye's birth mother was imprisoned was because she killed one of the Shen family head's children, and the reason your aunt had a difficult childbirth was because she poisoned her."

Shen Youqing nodded. "I know."

“Although Shen Wuye was taken away and raised by Venerable Yunyi from a young age, she is his birth mother. It’s not hard to guarantee that he has ulterior motives.” Yue Xunzhu directly voiced her concerns. “You should always be more careful.”

Shen Youqing stated bluntly, "I don't trust anyone in the Shen family except for Shen Quelin."

"Then you still want to participate in the aristocratic family conference as a descendant of the Shen family?" Yue Xunzhu asked quietly.

Seeing his brother's accusing expression, Shen Youqing couldn't help but cough twice guiltily.

"We can't let Shen Quelin fight alone, can we?" Shen Youqing said, his tone neither confident nor assertive.

Yue Xunzhu snorted lightly, "So you're willing to let me fight alone?"

If he can't bear to beat Jinjin, wouldn't he also be willing to beat Shen Quelin?
We need to think of a way to give Shen Quelin a good beating.

Having been exposed to the Hehuan Sect all along, Shen Youqing had mastered the art of acting cute quite easily. She tugged at Yue Xunzhu's sleeve and said coquettishly, "The Yue family also has Sister Ruoshui. If you and Sister Ruoshui join forces, you will be invincible!"

When her troublesome younger sister was mentioned, Yue Xunzhu's gentle expression softened.

Seeing Shen Youqing pursing his lips and acting honestly, Yue Xunzhu sighed, "You know what happened; Ruoshui hasn't gotten over it yet."

"..." Shen Youqing hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Forget it, I won't say anything more about how rude she was.

"Say what you want to say, it's just the two of us here." Yue Xunzhu flicked Shen Youqing's head with her finger, her tone gentle, "If only Ruoshui could be like you."

Shen Youqing raised his hand and stroked his chin. "Sister Ruoshui closed herself off because of that bastard's emotional trauma. I didn't quite understand before, but now, I just think Sister Ruoshui is pretty... stupid."

Yue Xunzhu raised an eyebrow.

“She’s a woman of heaven! What man can’t she find if she wants one?” Shen Youqing said, spreading his hands.

At this point, Shen Youqing became much more serious. "We can't let Sister Ruoshui continue to be so dejected. She's already wasted so many years of her cultivation!"

"..." Yue Xunzhu tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Look, look! If you didn't know better, you'd think Jinjin was the older sister.

Under Shen Youqing's accusing gaze, Yue Xunzhu slightly suppressed her smile, "What you said makes sense."

She has every man she could want, and her emotional wounds have healed considerably over the years.

If I were to neglect my cultivation for the sake of a man, that would be absolutely unacceptable!
Shen Youqing proudly raised her head, "My eldest senior brother is gentle and considerate, and my fourth senior brother is docile and shy. They should be able to help Sister Ruoshui get over her heartbreak!"

"Where's your fifth senior brother?" Yue Xunzhu couldn't help but tease.

Shen Youqing waved his hand, "With his temper, let's just forget about it!"

Once Fifth Senior Brother opens his mouth, I'm afraid he'll make Sister Ruoshui even more withdrawn in just three sentences!

"Knowing what kind of person Young Master Xiao is, you still indulge him." Yue Xunzhu shook her head slightly, then said, "But he is willing to go all out, dancing whenever he wants."

Although I still don't quite like Xiao Er, I don't really object to him. After all, not everyone can dance in front of everyone just to make Bo Jinjin happy.

"You're not used to it, are you?" Shen Youqing asked.

When it's time to take action, she won't hesitate to do so.

Yue Xunzhu was too lazy to talk to her about this heart-wrenching topic, so she waved her hand and said, "I'll go fetch Ruoshui. You go and tell Fellow Daoist Liang."

It's something that Liang Shimu would probably not refuse, as it's mutually beneficial.

Shen Youqing nodded.

When she returned to the square, Lingxiao Sect and Qingyu Sect were competing for second place on the arena.

"Senior Brother." Shen Youqing walked to Liang Shimu's side and called out.

Liang Shimu looked down and then bent down to ask, "What's wrong?"

"Is there something I need to discuss in private?" Shen Youqing said in a low voice.

Liang Shimu nodded, and then left with Shen Youqing under Xiao Ke's watchful gaze.

In a secluded spot, Shen Youqing quickly spoke.

"You want me to help Miss Yue get over her heartbreak?" Liang Shimu gasped. "Junior Sister, you know how much of a womanizer I am. Are you sure?"

Isn't this just making Miss Nazuki jump from one fire pit into another?

Shen Youqing coughed twice, "Let's make friends first, chat and comfort each other. It's not good for Sister Ruoshui to be immersed in that failed relationship."

Liang Shimu pointed to his face and said, "What if she takes a liking to me?"

“…” Shen Youqing choked up.

This was a turn of events she had never imagined.

Looking at her handsome senior brother, Shen Youqing asked hesitantly, "Then senior brother will give in?"

Liang Shimu: ?

Is she really my junior sister?

"The Yue family will not treat you unfairly!" Shen Youqing said seriously.

Liang Shimu glared at his junior sister with annoyance, "Go away, go play somewhere else."

"Senior Brother, please!" Shen Youqing pleaded, clasping his hands together. "You're incredibly good at charming girls, and you're sweet-talking, gentle, and considerate. Please help me out!"

"..." Liang Shimu silently turned his eyes away, keeping a straight face and pretending to be unmoved.

In fact, he was eager to agree.

Shen Youqing was exactly his type; her pleading expression was simply irresistible!

"Fine, fine, fine." Liang Shimu, defeated by Shen Youqing's gaze, waved his hand helplessly. "I'll help you, I'll help you."

Shen Youqing revealed a bright and happy smile.

"Qingqing."

A clear, crisp voice rang out a few steps away.

The man's voice was tinged with danger. Shen Youqing looked past Liang Shimu and saw him a few steps away.

Liang Shimu glanced back at his fifth junior brother, and seeing his deep gaze, turned to Shen Youqing and said, "Why don't you ask him for help?"

Wouldn't Xiao Ke's face be more useful?
Almost everyone would like to see him standing there!

"..." Shen Youqing's lips twitched. "Senior Brother, I want Sister Ruoshui to come out, not to become more closed off!"

Liang Shimu chuckled and turned to leave.

Looking at the man whose peach blossom eyes held a deep, dangerous glint, Shen Youqing knew that he was jealous again.
