Chapter 395 is like a persistent ghost.
The blatant warning prompted Yunwaixue to give Xuezhongyun a meaningful look.

Xue Zhongyun remained silent with a cold expression.

Yun Waixue turned her head and said to Shen Youqing in a calm voice, "He really doesn't know. How could he possibly know such a confidential matter?"

With a clang, Shen Youqing threw the dagger on the table, his cold voice sounding cruel, "Xue Zhongyun, exchange the Chaos Pearl for Yunwaixue."

Xue Zhongyun was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the dagger on the table, his killing intent rising.

Shen Youqing raised his hand and patted it.

The next second, countless archers appeared on the courtyard wall, and countless sharp arrows were aimed at Yun Waixue and her companion.

Xue Zhongyun wasn't confident he could hit the bullseye with one strike, and besides, if he killed Shen Youqing, he and Xue Zhongyun probably wouldn't be able to leave the Jiang family.

"You!" Yun Waixue pointed at Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing raised an eyebrow, his cold face tinged with mockery, "Are you really that insecure about Xue Zhongyun?"

Yun Waixue gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "You're absolutely insane!"

"Excellent."

Shen Youqing propped his cheek up, looking lazy and nonchalant.

Yun Waixue turned to look at her lover beside her, her gaze suddenly becoming complicated.

Would he really exchange himself for a divine object like the Chaos Pearl?
Xue Zhongyun raised her hand and touched Yun Waixue's cheek with a tender gesture, "Take care of yourself."

Yunwaixue nodded vigorously.

"Wait for me." After saying that, Xue Zhongyun turned around and walked out without hesitation.

As Xue Zhongyun left, the archers on the wall disappeared at Shen Youqing's command.

"Quiet." Shen Youqing picked up the dagger on the table and then had two maids take Yun Waixue away.

Yun Waixue, who tried to struggle, was half-dragged and half-pulled away by two old women who covered her mouth.

Just as Shen Youqing was about to go back to sleep, a maid rushed in from outside, "Second Madam, a young man who claims to be surnamed Xiao wants to see you."

Xiao Youqi?
"please."

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a maid brought in a tall and slender man.

"Clear!"

The moment she saw Shen Youqing, the light in her peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickened his pace, passing the maids as he walked towards Shen Youqing.

The maid's eyes widened.

Just as he walked over to hug Shen Youqing, there was a "plop" sound.

Caught off guard, the man staggered back two steps, staring in disbelief at the dagger piercing his abdomen.

Shen Youqing looked at that injured and incredulous expression, a fleeting look of disgust in her eyes.

When Yue Xunzhu returned from the study, she saw a familiar figure.

Xiao Ke?

With a startled heart, Yue Xunzhu quickened his pace and walked up. When he saw that incomparably handsome face, he was stunned for a moment.

"Drag it!"

Shen Youqing's lowered brows were filled with an unyielding ferocity. "Strip his face!"

The maid was so frightened that she trembled, her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground, her body shaking.

Two guards went up and dragged the man away.

Shen Youqing, exuding a fierce aura, was like a ferocious beast that had been provoked, his sharp eyes filled with disgust and murderous intent.

Yue Xunzhu sighed almost imperceptibly. He walked over and gently patted Shen Youqing's back, as if coaxing a child.

Shen Youqing lowered her eyelids and said, "Brother, I'm fine."

Yue Xunzhu raised his hand and patted her head. After dismissing the maids in the courtyard, he spoke, "Jinjin, you're prone to developing inner demons if you act like this."

"No." Shen Youqing turned around and sat down on the stool, her voice flat and even. "Let me have some peace and quiet."

She hated that face; it only reminded her of her senior brother, who had truly died in her arms.

Yue Xunzhu walked up and stood behind Shen Youqing, patting her back gently. "Jinjin, when did you fall in love with him?"

Shen Youqing nestled in his arms, recalling the not-so-long past, "It was probably every time I indulged him and let him take advantage of me."

For her, the xiao was different from the very beginning. After a while, Yue Xunzhu heard a soft voice say, "I miss him a little."

Yue Xunzhu looked down at him, her eyes filled with heartache.

The man with the sculpted face ruined Shen Youqing's mood, and she didn't go to the flower hall for lunch or dinner.

After dinner, Shen Quelin arrived decisively, and then saw Shen Youqing brewing tea under the flowering trees in the courtyard.

He seemed completely at ease, as if nothing had happened.

"Something really has happened." Shen Quelin sat down on the stool. "Tell me about it?"

Shen Youqing poured a cup of tea from the teapot and handed it over.

"There's a miser who won't even come to see me in my dreams." The flat voice spoke as if it were nothing important.

Shen Quelin's outstretched hand nearly knocked over the teacup. He steadied himself and looked over.

Shen Youqing's face was half hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see her expression, but Shen Quelin could sense that something was wrong with her emotions.

"you……"

Shen Youqing picked up his teacup, lowered his eyes, and sipped the tea.

Shen Quelin's fingers touched the inside of the cup, feeling the temperature. "You've really fallen for it completely."

"Yes," Shen Youqing admitted frankly.

Shen Quelin looked at her, unsure of what to say.

"It's nothing." Shen Youqing put down his teacup. "What are your plans?"

"I'm going to train the troops." Shen Quelin felt it was absurd after saying that, "I never thought I would be able to experience training troops in my lifetime."

He has to thank the Shen family for their education, which has enabled him to learn a lot of things; he may not be an expert, but he can certainly get the hang of them.

Shen Youqing asked with some curiosity, "Why isn't it my brother?"

“Isn’t this a waste of talent?” Shen Quelin said.

"Wouldn't it be the same if you went?" Shen Youqing retorted. "But Jiang Xuan'an isn't suitable either, so it really can only be you."

Shen Quelin picked up his teacup and took a sip of hot tea.

"Got it." Shen Youqing said immediately.

"Cough cough cough..."

Shen Quelin, realizing what was happening, choked on a mouthful of tea and coughed incessantly.

She found the Chaos Pearl?!

When did this happen?
So fast?
Shen Youqing gently lifted his teacup and drank the tea.

After coughing for a while, Shen Quelin leaned closer and whispered, "That thing?"

Shen Youqing nodded.

"What a wonderful surprise!" Shen Quelin leaned back and sat up straight. "Can I tell you?"

“Brother, you can do it,” Shen Youqing said.

The fewer people who know about the Chaos Pearl, the better, but Jiang Chenying has learned a lot from Zhang Youli, and it is necessary to inform him about this matter.

Shen Quelin nodded.

"Damn it!" Wei Ningguang strode in, cursing, followed by Yue Ruoshui and Jiang Hanying.

Aside from Jiang Hanying's fair complexion, both Wei Ningguang and Yue Ruoshui were fiery tempers.

The brother and sister looked over together.

"Shen Qiuluo has come knocking on our door!" Wei Ningguang sat down with an air of authority, so angry that she forgot her elegant and composed demeanor as the matriarch of the household. "She's like a persistent ghost!"

Seeing that Wei Ningguang looked like she was about to slam her fist on the table, Shen Youqing poured her a cup of tea and brought it over to calm her down.

Yue Ruoshui looked gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Shen Quelin remained calm. "Sister-in-law, when did your relationship with her become so bad?"

Did he miss something while trying to break through the tribulation?

"She shamelessly asked for the Five Elements Sect's Mars Eight-Cornered Lamp!" Wei Ningguang said with disgust. "Master intended to give the Mars Eight-Cornered Lamp to Fourth Junior Sister for self-defense, but now that Sect Leader Zhang has asked, Master has no choice but to give it to her!"

The Yinghuo Octagonal Lamp?
That's an eighth-grade magic weapon.

Shen Qiulu really knows how to ask for an exorbitant amount.
