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

Chapter 320 You are Xiao Ke, just Xiao Ke

Leaning against the bedpost, Xiao Ke looked down at Shen Youqing, his peach blossom eyes gradually rippling with emotion.

Shen Youqing, who had woken up but hadn't gotten up, rolled over and lay on her side, her long, black hair cascading down the bed.

"Qingqing, there's something else I want to tell you." Xiao Ke looked away.

Shen Youqing responded.

“I have a connection to the Guardian Realm.” Xiao Ke unconsciously rubbed his fingertips to ease his tension. “I don’t know if I’m a Realm Spirit, but…”

Shen Youqing stared at the man whose fingertips were grinding together, and slowly spoke, "But you are very likely to be a World Spirit?"

"Ah."

Looking at Xiao Ke's fingertips, which had turned slightly white from being crushed, Shen Youqing rested her head on her arm and began to ponder.

The room fell silent. Xiao Ke glanced at her and saw that she had her eyelids lowered.

Thick, curled eyelashes cast a small shadow on her pale, flawless face, making it difficult to discern the expression in her eyes.

"Qingqing, I am not a person of great righteousness." The straight back that had been leaning against the bedpost bent with dejection. "I am neither a cultivator who cares about all living beings, nor someone who would help the strong and bully the weak."

They lacked neither the courage and determination to sacrifice for the common people, nor the noble sense of righteousness to protect them.

Is he really a guardian spirit of the realm, given his self-centeredness and selfishness?

"I can see that you're quite lost, Senior Brother." Shen Youqing looked up at the somewhat dejected man, his tone unconsciously softening. "You don't know what to do next either."

Xiao Ke responded.

Suddenly, a heavy burden was placed on his shoulders, but he lacked the strength to shoulder it.

The responsibility turned into pressure, making him feel somewhat depressed.

“You are Xiao Ke, just Xiao Ke.” Shen Youqing sat up, leaned over and touched his drooping head.

Isn't her current senior brother just like the one who was chosen by the Xuan Nu's inheritance back then?
Feeling lost, helpless, and unsure of what to do.

Xiao Ke grabbed Shen Youqing's wrist and held it in his hand. "The Guardian Realm has encountered problems, but I don't know how to repair it."

Being a spirit is not an honor, but a heavy responsibility.

As a spirit of the realm, he had to stabilize and protect the realm, but he had no idea how to do it!
That part of the spirit's memory doesn't exist, nor does his.

Shen Youqing gently patted Xiao Ke's arm to soothe his emotions, "The existence of the Guardian Realm is out of Heaven's compassion and love for all living beings, but if you want to maintain peace in the cultivation world, this is not just your business, it is the business of all cultivators in the entire cultivation world!"

"Qingqing, I'm very scared."

The true inheritance of the Mysterious Maiden is in Qingqing. If the Guardian Realm really disappears, will Qingqing sacrifice herself for the cultivation world?

Shen Youqing could easily read Xiao Ke's unease. She asked softly, "Are you afraid that the protective barrier will shatter completely, and that I will sacrifice myself because of it?"

Xiao Ke didn't speak, but tightened his grip on Shen Youqing's wrist slightly.

Shen Youqing flicked her wrist and tickled his palm with her fingertips.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Shen Youqing said confidently. "I'll cultivate diligently, then I'll slaughter all the demonic cultivators and solve the problem at its root!"

Under Shen Youqing's comforting words, Xiao Ke's tense and suppressed emotions were greatly relieved.

"I'll go with you, let's kill all the demonic cultivators together!" Xiao Ke grabbed Shen Youqing's mischievous hand and said helplessly, "Qingqing, it itches."

Shen Youqing raised an eyebrow, her expression clearly saying, 'I did it on purpose, what can you do about it?'

Just as Xiao Ke was about to retaliate with some mischief, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Shen Youqing withdrew her hand and was about to lift the covers to get out of bed.

"Okay, you get up first," Xiao Ke said as he got up to open the door.

Shen Youqing quickly got up, tidied the bedding with her fingers, and then smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes.

As she walked around the screen to the outer room, Xiao Ke happened to bring the people outside in.

"Fellow Daoist Shen!" Lin Shujing's eyes lit up the moment she saw Shen Youqing, her voice filled with excitement and joy.

I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect Shen Youqing to actually come back!
This is wonderful!
"Fellow Daoist Lin." Shen Youqing raised his hand in return.

Lin Shujing's heart finally settled down, and she couldn't hide her joy as she said, "It's good that you're back!"

As for Xiao Ke beside her, Lin Shujing had long forgotten about him; she could only see Shen Youqing now.

Xiao Ke walked to the table, poured a glass of water, warmed it with his spiritual power, and handed it to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing took it and then said to Lin Shujing, "Let's talk while sitting down."

Lin Shujing waved her hand, politely declining, before stating the purpose of her visit: "I have come here on important business; An Yarou wants to see you."

An Ya Rou wants to see her?

Why don't you just come over directly?
Noticing Shen Youqing's suspicion, Xiao Ke whispered to her, "Fifth Qing is over here."

Given the awkward relationship between the Yue family and the Fifth Qing's lineage, An Ya Rou couldn't directly approach Qing Qing.

But An Ya Rou insisted on seeing Qing Qing, probably because she had something important to tell her.

Could it be about the incident where Shen Quelin encountered danger?
Having some suspicions, Xiao Ke feared that Shen Youqing wouldn't go, so he said, "They helped you conceal your affair with Jun Su."

Upon hearing this, Shen Youqing's face showed surprise.

Seeing Shen Youqing's surprised expression, Lin Shujing said, "Fellow Daoist Shen saved us, we can't just turn around and harm you, can we?"

That's the Demon Lord! Not some Demon King or Demon General!
There are many righteous cultivators in the cultivation world, but human nature is inherently evil, so they dare not gamble and cannot afford to gamble!
Indeed, their concerns were not superfluous.

"Thank you." Shen Youqing nodded slightly in thanks.

Lin Shujing waved her hand, "Don't flatter us, you're our savior!"

In any case, it's good that Shen Youqing is back safe and sound!

Shen Youqing finished the warm water in his cup in one gulp, put the cup on the table, and said, "Shall we go?"

"Come this way." Lin Shujing gestured for them to come this way.

After watching the two leave, Xiao Ke prepared to go find Lin Jinran to continue seeking advice on alchemy.

Here.

Just as Shen Youqing arrived at Lin Shujing's residence, An Yarou came out of the house.

Lin Shujing took the initiative to invite An Yarou.

An Ya Rou deliberately acted as if she couldn't refuse, and walked over somewhat reluctantly.

inside the house.

As the soundproof barrier rose, An Ya Rou's expression immediately turned to joy.

"Miss Shen, you're finally back!" Rou Rou's voice was excited and happy.

Shen Youqing nodded slightly, looking at An Yarou whose complexion was still relatively rosy, and asked, "Will you be alright like this?"

Putting aside some issues of political stance, she quite admires Anya Rou's skills and temperament.

"No." Looking at Shen Youqing's decent spirits, An Yarou seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

To avoid arousing Fifth Master's suspicion over time, An Ya Rou didn't waste any words. She deftly took out a storage bag and handed it over, saying, "Miss Shen, give this to Young Master Yue or Young Master Shen. They know what to do."

Shen Youqing responded with a "Understood".

"I have to go." After saying that, An Ya Rou looked at Lin Shu Jing and nodded to express her gratitude.

Lin Shujing smiled and then dispelled the barrier.

Once the barrier disappeared, An Ya Rou suddenly squeezed out a few tears, looked aggrieved, opened the door, and quickly went out.

Shen Youqing and Lin Shujing exchanged a glance.

To be honest, Anya Rou's acting skills are superb.
