Chapter 338 What did I gain from kidnapping her?
Xiao Ke was not satisfied with Shen Youqing's answer. He lowered his head and buried it in Shen Youqing's shoulder, without saying a word.

He tilted his head slightly, half of his face pressed against Shen Youqing's neck, his warm breath falling on her fair skin.

"Are you sulking?" Shen Youqing slightly turned her head away.

Xiao Ke grunted an "Mmm," his deep, resonant voice sounding so self-righteous.

Shen Youqing raised her hand and pinched the back of his neck, directly stopping his head from rubbing against her neck.

Xiao Ke was forced to behave himself.

After a short while, Shen Youqing asked casually, "Senior brother, have you hugged enough?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke knew that Shen Youqing's patience was about to run out, so he wisely let go of her hand.

Shen Youqing sat on the stool, looking at him with a serious gaze, "Jun Su has already set his sights on you, so you must be careful from now on."

Jun Su might not kill her, but he will definitely kill his senior brother.

In comparison, the senior brother's situation was more dangerous.

Xiao Ke walked over, bent down, and sat down to one side. "I know."

Jun Su truly wished he could get rid of him as soon as possible, partly because he had gained some affection from Qing Qing, and partly because of his relationship with the Guardian Realm.

In short, he must now find a way to protect himself!

After giving his instructions, Shen Youqing immediately dismissed him, saying, "Go."

Xiao Ke, who hadn't even warmed the stool, stared quietly at Shen Youqing, his eyes filled with blatant condemnation.

Shen Youqing remained unmoved and asked, "Are all twenty matches finished?"

While I'm worried, other things need to be considered separately!

"No."

Seeing the man's frustrated expression, Shen Youqing raised her hand to invite him to join her.

Xiao Ke didn't say anything, but he secretly made a mental note of it for her.

Yue Hehua, who was not far from the courtyard, was somewhat suspicious when she saw Xiao Ke come out.

So fast?
Shouldn't we cherish this moment a little longer?
Xiao Ke stepped forward and bowed to Yue Hehua, saying, "Thank you for your help, Master Yue."

Yue Hehua waved her hand, exchanged a few words with Yue Shihao, and then left.

After watching Yue Hehua leave with Xiao Ke, Yue Shihao walked into the courtyard and saw Shen Youqing sitting there cracking melon seeds.

Look at him, acting like nothing's wrong!
Yue Shihao sat to the side, looking at Shen Youqing's calm and composed demeanor, and said in a softer voice, "Jinjin, you're too carefree."

“Being afraid won’t solve anything.” Shen Youqing beckoned, and the three of them, including Shi Yuexunzhu, came over to sit down.

The three of them came up and sat down to one side, looking at the girl who looked perfectly normal. They were both relieved by her easygoing nature and worried about her situation.

"This can be considered a good thing." Shen Quelin pondered and said, "The Demon Lord's surprise attack on Yiming Mountain was only to kill Shen Youqing, and the matter of Shen Youqing's affair with the Demon Lord is directly exposed."

“Indeed,” Shen Wuye echoed. “If we don’t say anything, who will know… It’s easy to talk to Sect Leader Hua, but what about Sect Leader Kong…”

Seeing Shen Wuye's hesitant expression, Yue Xunzhu's gentle voice rang out, "No."

You can't? You can't do what?
“First of all, Sect Leader Kong greatly admires Shen Youqing; secondly, Sect Leader Kong is not the kind of person who talks too much,” Shen Quelin analyzed.

Listening to Shen Quelin's logical analysis, Shen Wuye nodded thoughtfully.

In the eyes of those venerable ones, the Qing dynasty would certainly be welcomed.

Not only is she talented, but she also cultivates diligently and has a righteous mind. There is almost no need to worry about her being troubled by love or falling into demonic ways.

If we were to nitpick, the only thing that comes to mind is his temper.

“Then that’s settled.” Yue Xunzhu stood up. “I’ll handle this.”

Shen Quelin and his sister, without any suspicion, nodded.

After Yue Xunzhu left, Yue Shihao, being an elder, didn't want to stay and spoil the mood.

After Yue Shihao left, Shen Quelin looked at Shen Youqing and then at Shen Wuye.

The mother's attitude was already very clear; she was wary of her brother.

"What about the Fifth Young Master's lineage?" Shen Youqing steered the conversation toward serious matters. Shen Quelin didn't interrupt, and followed her lead, saying, "I'll go talk to the Fifth Young Master later."

The Fifth Family is under the control of that lineage, and the Fifth Lord, as the young master, wields considerable power.

Eliminating a competitor would surely be something Fifth Lord would be very happy about.

Shen Youqing nodded.

"I'm leaving now." Shen Quelin got up and left.

Although Shen Wuye had a lot to say, he chose to leave.

We should go and surrender to the young master, otherwise, if the young master says a few words to Youqing, all our previous efforts will be in vain.

The courtyard suddenly became quiet.

Shen Youqing ate and drank for a while before going back to his room to rest.

evening.

The knocking woke Shen Youqing from her sleep.

She got dressed, tied her hair up with her fingers, and walked out.

When Shen Youqing opened the door, he saw many people standing in the courtyard.

Shen Lin spoke first, "Youqing, what have you been doing all afternoon?"

Seeing that his attitude was acceptable, Shen Youqing said, "Go to sleep."

Shen Quelin walked over to Shen Youqing and whispered to her, "Shen Qiuluo has disappeared."

Shen Qiuluo has disappeared?

Shen Youqing's face lit up instantly, her voice trembling with barely concealed joy, "Which kind soul will do it!"

Shen Lin: ...

Zhang Youli: ...

Could she tone it down a little?
This makes her seem like the mastermind behind everything!
Meng Qinian looked at Shen Youqing expressionlessly.

As expected of Shen Youqing!

"..." Shen Quelin rolled his eyes at Shen Youqing speechlessly, then said seriously, "This is not a joke."

Shen Youqing slightly suppressed his joy.

"So Father suspects me?" Shen Youqing turned to look at Shen Lin, his tone icy. "Does Father have any evidence pointing to me?"

Shen Lin shook his head.

"You're asking me this without any evidence?" Shen Youqing narrowed his eyes, his aura becoming noticeably colder.

Shen Lin looked at this rebellious son calmly.

Zhang Youli understood Shen Youqing's temperament, and he said, "You know the current situation. It's hard to explain what happened between you and the Demon Lord. Shen Qiuluo disappeared, and countless people immediately suspected that you were behind it."

???

Shen Youqing couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Am I some kind of despicable person? Or am I just bored? What would I want from kidnapping her? Murder for money? I admit to murder, I did want to kill her! But I don't admit to murder for money..."

Meng Qinian was not the only one who came with Zhang Youli and Shen Lin; there were also sect leaders and family heads from other sects and aristocratic families.

Shen Youqing's mouth never allows him to suffer injustice.

Seeing the increasingly grim expressions on the faces of the sect leaders and family heads, Shen Quelin could only reach out and cover Shen Youqing's mouth to prevent her from being attacked by the group.

With his mouth covered, Shen Youqing scratched Shen Quelin.

Shen Quelin could only endure it and dared not let go.

Zhang Youli spoke in a stern voice, "Are you sure you've been at the Yue family's residence all afternoon?"

Some people just need to be taught a lesson by Shen Youqing's sharp tongue.

Shen Lin felt that Zhang Youli's words were a provocation...

Once she realized what was happening, Shen Lin glanced at Zhang Youli sideways, then stood with her hands behind her back and ignored the matter.
