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

Chapter 288 You Won't Agree

Shen Quelin looked up at the people on the arena, his sharp features softening with joy.

On the high platform, Hua Yuan and the Shen, Yue, and Xiao families were dealing with the congratulations from other Venerable Ones.

They were just as impressive as the six people on the stage, attracting countless admiring and adoring glances.

Chu Jianyan and the others were genuinely happy for them.

Seeing the four disciples' generous and sincere congratulations, Yue Ruoshui's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity.

Shen Qiulu bit her lip tightly as she looked at Shen Youqing on the arena. Her lips, which were already pale, became even paler.

Being attracted to the spirited Shen Youqing is as easy as drinking water.

Seeing the gazes of those around her unconsciously falling on Shen Youqing, Shen Qiuluo felt so angry she wanted to grind her teeth to powder.

Zhang Xunyu noticed that her brother was also attracted to Shen Youqing, and her eyes suddenly darkened. She muttered "vixen" under her breath.

"Autumn falls."

A concerned voice rang in her ears, and Shen Qiuluo came back to her senses to see Yinglian's eyes full of worry.

Shen Qiulu gave an awkward smile, "Yinglian..."

Before she could finish speaking, tears began to fall.

With tears streaming down her face, Shen Qiuluo looked pitiful.

The group of people who had been drawn to Shen Youqing snapped out of their daze and, seeing Shen Qiuluo's pitiful and fragile appearance, secretly cursed themselves for their weak will and for being attracted to that vicious woman.

"Qingyu Sect and Lingxiao Sect, please step forward!"

"The Azure Dragon Sword Sect and the Five Elements Sect, please step forward!"

The first place winner has been determined, but the second and fourth place winners haven't been announced yet.

That's enough of the celebration, it's time for the game.

The six people jumped off the arena. Lin Youran held Shen Youqing's hand, a bright smile on her beautiful face.

"Junior Sister, you are really amazing!"

Shen Youqing looked at his fellow disciples and said, "This is not my achievement alone; it is the result of our joint efforts."

Even if she were incredibly talented, she couldn't win without the combined efforts of her senior brothers and sisters.

Xiao Ke, who had been holding back until now, could no longer bear it. He reached out and hooked his arm around Shen Youqing's waist, pulling her into his embrace.

"...Fifth Junior Brother!" Lin Youran's happy smile turned into a forced one. "Don't you think you've gone too far? You're nobody to Junior Sister! What right do you have to monopolize her?"

Lin Youran's words hit Xiao Ke right where it hurt.

The arms wrapped around her waist tightened slightly, as if silently expressing her dissatisfaction.

Shen Youqing patted Xiao Ke's arm.

"It's all based on Qingqing's willingness." Xiao Ke's cold voice rang out.

Under Lin Youran's fierce gaze, his expression was full of provocation, arrogant and deserving of a beating.

Yue Xunzhu looked away, not wanting to see Xiao Ke's lifeless appearance.

Yue Ruoshui stared at this scene with slightly wide eyes.

Xiao Ke wrapped his arms around Shen Youqing's waist from behind, and the girl looked tiny in his tall and broad embrace. The two were very close and intimate.

Has Jinjin's temper improved as well?
Thinking of Shen Youqing's bad temper, Yue Ruoshui looked at Xiao Ke with some curiosity.

"Junior Sister, look at him!" Lin Youran turned her head and complained to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing coughed twice and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Third Senior Sister, don't be angry."

Lin Youran turned her head and grabbed Lin Jinyao's arm, sobbing and wailing, "My dear sister! How could my lovely and obedient junior sister be blinded by lust!"

"..." Considering Lin Youran's ability to generate spirit stones, Lin Jinyao held back. She said coolly, "To be fair, with Fifth Junior Brother's face, isn't it normal for him to be blinded by lust?"

Lin Youran decisively released Lin Jinyao's arm, "Don't come to me if you need spirit stones in the future."

"No!" Lin Jinyao grabbed her younger sister's shoulder. "Let's talk this out! Don't joke around with spirit stones!"

Liang Shimu and Yang Yousheng stood by, arms crossed, watching the spectacle.

Xiao Ke lowered his head slightly, and his chin rested on Shen Youqing's head.

With a heavy head, Shen Youqing spoke softly, "Is it appropriate?" Xiao Ke hummed in agreement.

“Jinjin…” Yue Ruoshui’s voice rang out, filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Seeing the astonishment and curiosity in Yue Ruoshui's eyes, Shen Youqing asked knowingly, "Sister Ruoshui, what's wrong?"

“You…” Yue Ruoshui looked at the two who were so close, and her expression became more serious. “Jinjin, I want to ask you what your relationship is with Young Master Xiao?”

"Senior brother and sister?" Shen Youqing grabbed the arm around her waist, making a prediction.

The man, unable to move his arm, gently touched Shen Youqing's head twice with his chin to express his dissatisfaction.

Shen Youqing clicked her tongue, and the man behind her immediately became obedient.

“But you…” Yue Ruoshui paused, unable to find the right words for a moment.

Shen Youqing smiled and said, "Sister Ruoshui, I won't consider these things until my cultivation reaches the Integration Stage."

Moon Weak Water: ?

Seeing her younger sister's bewildered expression, Yue Xunzhu reached out and patted her head.

Back then, he and Que Lin were like that too.

"Jinjin..." Yue Ruoshui found her voice, which was somewhat ethereal and filled with shock, "Are you going to walk the path of ruthlessness?"

Combination period?
She is still three major realms away from the Integration Stage: Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, and Out-of-Body Stage!

The fastest cultivator to reach the Integration Stage to date is over five thousand years old.

If Jinjin wanted to refuse Young Master Xiao, she could have just said so directly; there was no need to do this!

“…I cannot leave because my six senses are not pure,” Shen Youqing said frankly.

Yue Ruoshui choked for a moment, and after a long while, she asked, "What if you reach the Integration Stage?"

Shen Youqing spoke frankly, "If Senior Brother hasn't changed his mind by then, then we'll become Daoist partners."

Looking at the two so intimately connected, Yue Ruoshui pondered for a long time before asking Shen Youqing, "Jinjin, haven't you thought about arranging a marriage contract first?"

Shen Youqing did not answer Yue Ruoshui's question immediately; she turned her head slightly to look at the man behind her.

Xiao Ke moved his head away before asking, "You want to ask why I didn't bring this up?"

Shen Youqing responded.

"You won't agree." The clear, pleasant voice carried a hint of frustration.

Is it that he doesn't want to talk about it?

Qingqing would never agree to that.

Since that's the case, why bring it up? It only causes trouble for Qingqing and annoys you.

Shen Youqing raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose.

Xiao Ke really understood my thoughts perfectly!

“Sister Ruoshui, feelings are the most fickle thing.” Shen Youqing said to Yue Ruoshui, “It is true that you love each other deeply right now, but no one knows what the future holds. This marriage certificate can only tie the interests of both families together.”

Xiao Ke's feelings at this moment are undeniable, but no one knows what the future holds.

Therefore, she had to leave herself and Xiao Ke a way out.

Whoever it is, if they really fall in love with someone else in the future, it won't escalate into something too ugly.

Yue Ruoshui couldn't help but think of her own marriage.

Indeed, Jinjin makes a good point. A marriage contract can only bind the interests of two families, not their feelings.

Xiao Ke seemed to have caught something, his eyes suddenly lighting up, "Qingqing, you love me?"

"What?" Shen Youqing was caught off guard by Xiao Ke's train of thought.

Xiao Ke wrapped his arm around her waist and turned her around. "You just said that you are truly in love right now!"

"..." Shen Youqing silently pulled away the arm around her waist.

Some people really only listen to what they like!

Yue Ruoshui watched in silence.
