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

Chapter 389 All Alive

Seeing that Shen Youqing was lost in thought and hadn't touched her chopsticks, Shen Quelin tapped the table with his finger to remind her to eat quickly.

Unable to figure it out, Shen Youqing came back to her senses and continued eating with her head down.

"The situation is unclear, so don't act rashly," Shen Quelin cautioned worriedly. "I'll take care of everything."

Shen Youqing nodded.

The next day.

When Shen Youqing got up, it was already broad daylight outside.

It looks like it should be around Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

When Shen Quelin returned from outside, he saw Shen Youqing sitting in front of the dressing table, with a nanny standing behind her combing her hair.

Shen Quelin stepped forward and said, "I'll do it."

The old woman dared not say anything more, handed over the comb, and then stepped aside.

"My sister-in-law sent someone to tell us to come over for breakfast." Shen Quelin skillfully tied her hair up. "My second brother and fourth sister are both going."

Shen Youqing nodded.

Before long, a beautiful wado bun was finished.

Shen Quelin selected some hairpins and pearl flowers from her dressing case to adorn her hair.

Shen Youqing looked in the bronze mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

Flower Hall.

When the brother and sister arrived, only Jiang Chenying and Wei Ningguang were inside.

"Sit down," Wei Ningguang said first, pointing to the empty seat next to her.

Shen Youqing sat down and then spoke very politely, "Big brother, sister-in-law."

Jiang Chenying and Wei Ningguang: "..."

They just know!
Shen Quelin couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He sat down next to Jiang Chenying and greeted her, "Big brother, sister-in-law."

"Third brother, third sister-in-law," Wei Ningguang said with a forced smile.

Shen Quelin and Shen Youqing instantly froze, their faces expressionless.

Jiang Chenying did not speak.

When Jiang Xuan'an brought in a woman whose face he didn't recognize, the four people at the table all looked at her.

"This is Jiang Hanying, my younger sister," Jiang Xuan'an introduced.

Jiang Hanying, holding Jiang Xuan'an's arm, smiled politely at the four of them and said, "I am the fourth young lady of the Jiang family, and he is my husband."

Jiang Xuan'an, who remained cold and aloof, did not speak, his expression unchanged.

?

Good heavens!
Shen Youqing and Wei Ningguang looked at each other in bewilderment.

How many pairs of siblings have become husband and wife?

Does this secret realm have some kind of peculiarity?

Yue Xunzhu arrived late, followed by Yue Ruoshui and An Yarou.

An Ya Rou, dressed as a maid, supported the "frail" Yue Ruo Shui.

Yue Xunzhu sat down next to Shen Quelin and looked at Shen Youqing, who was standing to the side. "Jinjin."

"Second Brother," Shen Youqing called out, then looked at Yue Ruoshui and said, "Second Sister-in-law."

Yue Ruoshui: "..."

Just as expected!

"..." Yue Xunzhu looked at Shen Youqing's teasing expression and finally shook her head helplessly.

Jiang Chenying, as the head of the family, said, "Please sit down."

An Yarou consciously stood behind Yue Ruoshui.

A group of maids filed in, and the table was soon filled with all sorts of breakfast dishes.

After the maids left, the group ate and talked.

“After breakfast, I’ll take my second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, and fourth sister out to investigate,” Wei Ningguang said first.

Shen Youqing coughed as she was choked by the word "Third Sister-in-law".

The Moon Weak Water on the other side was not to be outdone.

Yue Xunzhu sighed helplessly, "Sister-in-law, how did you become so badly influenced by Jinjin?"

Wei Ningguang chuckled, "Second brother, you're not to be outdone either."

Yue Xunzhu lowered her head and took a sip of minced meat porridge.

Jiang Chenying's cold voice rang out, "I and a few others searched the Jiang family's residence."

Wei Ningguang nodded.

Jiang Xuan'an listened quietly to Jiang Hanying, occasionally putting some of her favorite dishes on her plate.

Jiang Hanying quietly lowered her head and began to eat. After breakfast, Wei Ningguang took Shen Youqing and the others out, while Jiang Chenying called Shen Quelin and the others to the study.

A rolling sound rang out as the carriage rolled over the bluestone slabs on the road.

A carriage bearing the Jiang family totem stopped in front of the teahouse.

Wei Ningguang and her group of five came down one after another and asked for a private room after entering the teahouse.

Elegant room.

Apart from Anya Rou, the other maids were waiting outside.

“They are all living people.” Wei Ningguang’s low voice carried a hint of solemnity.

Whether they were the guards and maids of the Jiang family, or the pedestrians on the road and the customers in the teahouse, they all had a different aura, an aura unique to living people.

Yue Ruoshui and Jiang Hanying's expressions also became more serious.

There couldn't possibly be that many living people inside the secret realm!

This secret realm is truly bizarre!

“This doesn’t seem like the situation in Qiu Zi Village’s secret realm.” Shen Youqing’s cold voice rang out. “Truly worthy of being a secret realm with the Chaos Pearl.”

Living people everywhere, unusable spiritual power, and a jumbled mess of identities and relationships.

This secret realm is so interesting!

Shen Youqing leaned slightly to the side in her chair, looking as if she was lost in thought.

The others remained silent, and the room fell quiet.

By the time they left the teahouse, they had obtained a lot of useful information.

The Jiang family home, study.

When Wei Ningguang and his group returned, Jiang Chenying and the others were each reading a book.

“The Jiang family is like the city lords in Shuicheng. Also, there are no records of the Chaos Pearl here,” Jiang Chenying said without looking up.

Wei Ningguang spoke after sitting down, "We discussed it and finally reached a consensus."

Jiang Chenying shifted her gaze from the books to the group of people.

“We might not be in the secret realm,” Wei Ningguang said slowly and seriously.

?

Not in the secret realm?
"It's no exaggeration to say that almost everyone in Water City is alive," Shen Youqing said. "Although the city is weathered, each person exudes a unique aura of life."

Shen Quelin and the other two, who were flipping through books nearby, all looked up at the same time.

"All living people?" Jiang Xuan'an frowned. "I've never heard of a town with living people in a secret realm."

The moon seeks bamboo, its eyes revealing deep thoughts.

“It’s not Lianyun City,” Shen Youqing said again. “It’s a real living person.”

Shen Quelin fell into deep thought.

This is getting stranger and stranger.

"The people here also know about the existence of the cultivation world. It is said that cultivators will come to recruit disciples in a few days," Jiang Hanying said slowly.

"The mortal realm?" Jiang Chenying asked subconsciously, then suddenly realized, "You mean we were teleported to the mortal realm?"

“Isn’t it highly likely?” Wei Ningguang said in a deep voice.

Yue Xunzhu shook her head and said gently and elegantly, "I think we are still in the secret realm, and everything we are seeing now may be an illusion."

"What kind of illusion could be so realistic?" Yue Ruoshui asked in return.

“The Chaos Pearl is a divine object, and its power is immeasurable,” Yue Xunzhu said.

After thinking for a while, Yue Ruoshui felt that her brother's words made sense.

“Illusions always have flaws.” Shen Quelin put down the book in his hand. “Why don’t you try to find them?”

"No."

A clear, cold voice rang out, directly rejecting the illusion's conjecture.

Everyone in the room looked over.

Shen Youqing took out several talismans from his sleeve.

"It's been verified." With that, Shen Youqing placed the talisman on the table. "You can verify it if you don't believe me."

"Without spiritual power, one cannot open a mustard seed space." Jiang Chenying looked at the talismans and asked in confusion, "How did you open the mustard seed space?"

“She bought talisman paper and cinnabar and drew it on the spot,” Wei Ningguang said.

?

Jiang Chenying was stunned, completely surprised that this could be done.

"Doesn't drawing talismans require spiritual power?" Jiang Xuan'an asked.

Shen Youqing nodded, but she didn't say anything. She just tossed out a talisman.

The talisman paper that flew into the air spontaneously combusted.
