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

Chapter 390 Exchange of Identity
The spontaneously combusting talisman plunged the study into silence.

“If it’s within a secret realm, and there’s no spiritual power under the rules, the talisman can’t spontaneously combust,” Wei Ningguang’s serious voice rang out.

“Spiritual power cannot be used within the secret realm, and we cannot sense its presence.” Jiang Chenying looked at the pile of talisman ash on the ground. “Logically speaking, a spirit-finding talisman should not spontaneously combust.”

Could this secret realm be similar to the one in Qiuzi Village?

"The first secret realm in Qiuzi Village was like that too," Yue Xunzhu said thoughtfully. "Perhaps this secret realm is the same?"

"How do you explain the living?" Shen Youqing asked.

The moon seeks bamboo, lost in thought.

"If that's the case, your speculation isn't without merit," Jiang Xuan'an's icy voice rang out. "A city full of living people, and spirit-seeking talismans that spontaneously combusted."

Wei Ningguang nodded and said, "The mortal realm is not without spiritual power, but the spiritual power is too thin."

Jiang Xuan'an fell into thought.

"Suppose, suppose we really are in the mortal realm, then may I ask what we are here for?" Shen Quelin raised his hand. "We are here to find the Chaos Pearl, not to sightsee."

"The Chaos Pearl can't possibly be in the mortal realm, can it?" Yue Ruoshui blurted out.

Shen Youqing raised his hand and nodded his forehead, without saying a word.

"What useful information have you obtained?" Wei Ningguang asked.

Jiang Chenying remained silent.

Wei Ningguang looked at him, somewhat puzzled.

"A Hundred Flowers Banquet will be held in Shuicheng in half a month," Jiang Xuan'an said. "Now that it is spring and summer, a Hundred Flowers Lady will be selected at that time."

Wei Ningguang said, "That must be quite lively."

I'll invite my junior sister Qing and the others to join in the fun.

Shen Quelin's lips curled up. "Sister-in-law, this is to choose a concubine for my elder brother."

"..." Wei Ningguang looked at Jiang Chenying's somewhat lifeless expression and chuckled.

This secret realm is so much fun!
Jiang Chenying: ...

Shen Youqing leaned against the armrest and looked over, his tone teasing, "Is Big Brother so promiscuous?"

Jiang Chenying glanced coldly at Shen Youqing, too lazy to even say anything.

"According to the current information, my sister-in-law has been married for five years but has not yet conceived a child. My brother and sister-in-law's relationship is not very good. This Hundred Flowers Banquet was specially organized for my brother by several other families." After Shen Quelin finished speaking, his teasing gaze fell on the two of them.

Wei Ningguang and Jiang Chenying were unsure what expression to make for a moment.

“My relationship with…Madam is so-so.” After saying this, Yue Xunzhu raised her hand to her forehead. “Madam is in poor health, and we have been sleeping in separate rooms for many years.”

Yue Ruoshui had a blank, wooden face.

This is absolutely absurd!

Heaven and earth bear witness, she had absolutely no improper thoughts towards her brother!
"Jinjin, can we switch?" Yue Ruoshui poked Shen Youqing's arm. "I really can't!"

"Huh?" Shen Youqing didn't react for a moment.

“You go be the second wife, and I’ll be the third wife,” Yue Ruoshui said. “Brother and sister really… I really have a feeling that we’re about to commit incest.”

Shen Youqing turned to the side and teased, "Sister Ruoshui, you can just say you're afraid of your brother."

"How can I not be afraid?" Yue Ruoshui glanced at Shen Youqing, then said in a low voice, "Don't you think my brother is the kind of refined scoundrel with a belly full of bad intentions? He really looks like the kind of person who would... you know."

Shen Youqing's lips twitched.

Yue Xunzhu: ...

He hasn't left yet.

Shen Quelin pressed his lips down hard to avoid being held a grudge.

"Are you afraid of me or not?" Shen Youqing asked in a low voice.

Yue Ruoshui spoke in a low voice, "You're the only one in the entire Yue family who isn't afraid of him."

She and her brother have a very good relationship, but she also has a certain amount of awe towards him.

Jinjin is different. She is simply bold and fearless. In addition, she was raised by her older brother, so he naturally spoils and indulges her more.

Shen Youqing remained silent.

"Sister Ruoshui, are you sure?" Shen Quelin coughed twice. "Shen Youqing and I don't have separate rooms." Yue Ruoshui was so shocked she almost jumped up, her voice suddenly rising, "You two?!"

“I’ll sleep on the bed and he’ll sleep on the couch.” Shen Youqing patted Yue Ruoshui’s shoulder and said calmly, “The Third Young Master and the Third Young Mistress have just gotten married, they can’t sleep in separate rooms, can they?”

"..." Yue Ruoshui glanced at her brother's gentle and elegant appearance, then turned to Shen Quelin and said, "Okay."

This time, it was Shen Quelin's turn to remain silent.

“Okay, let’s give it a try,” Jiang Chenying said abruptly.

Yue Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief.

"My relationship with the Fourth Miss..." Jiang Xuan paused, then said in a cold voice, "I am the son-in-law that the Fourth Miss forcibly took back."

Jiang Hanying smiled shyly.

"I also took it by force," Yue Xunzhu smiled slightly. "I was lustful at first sight and forcibly took a sickly beauty with me."

"Excellent." Shen Youqing clapped his hands.

Yue Xunzhu sighed helplessly.

“There might be problems at the Hundred Flowers Banquet in half a month, but before that, we need to thoroughly understand Shuicheng.” Jiang Chenying said in a serious voice, “Our identities may have other uses, and my suggestion is to play our current identities well before we fully understand Shuicheng.”

Jiang Chenying's suggestion was unanimously approved.

"I'll switch identities with Sister Ruoshui and see if there are any clues," Shen Youqing said.

Jiang Chenying nodded.

This could also be a breakthrough point.

After finishing their business, the group dispersed and prepared to return to their respective courtyards.

Yue Xunzhu walked up to Shen Youqing and extended her hand, "Let's go."

Shen Youqing stood up and patted Yue Xunzhu's arm. "The second young mistress, who was forcibly taken back, probably won't have a good look on you."

The brother and sister walked outside while talking.

The distance from the study to their residence was quite far, and the two encountered many maids along the way, who all greeted them.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam."

The repeated greetings did not elicit any surprise from Shen Youqing and Yue Xunzhu.

Main house.

The brother and sister sat on the daybed, with no maidservants attending to them.

"It's already set up..." Yue Xunzhu spoke first.

Shen Youqing squinted as he pondered, "I'm more inclined to believe that the Chaos Pearl tampered with it."

She possessed the Mysterious Maiden Diagram, so she understood the power of divine objects better than anyone else.

Tampering with memories is a very simple thing for divine objects.

“If, as you say, this is the mortal realm…” Yue Xunzhu’s eyes flickered slightly, “I’ll go and investigate further.”

Even the largest secret realm has its limits, but the mortal realm is quite large!
Shen Youqing nodded.

Just as Yue Xunzhu got up to leave, she suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at Shen Youqing, "Together."

Shen Youqing got up and followed.

The brother and sister left the Jiang family in a horse-drawn carriage.

Book Garden.

Shen Youqing took the veil handed to him by the maid and was about to put it on his head when his hand suddenly went empty.

Yue Xunzhu took the curtain and, avoiding her hair bun, put it on.

The white veils hanging down all around Shen Youqing's face were not unusual.

As the two stepped into the bookstore, the manager warmly greeted them, "Young Master Jiang! Rare guests! What brings you and your wife here?"

"Do you have any travelogues?" A clear, crisp voice came from behind the white veil.

"The Second Young Madam still enjoys travelogues so much. We just received a batch of new books at our bookstore," the shopkeeper said, gesturing for the customers to enter.
