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

Chapter 402 Obtaining the Chaos Pearl

The next day.

When Yue Xunzhu came over to knock on the door and call someone to have breakfast, she noticed that Shen Youqing had a lot of red blood vessels in his eyes.

It looks like he hasn't slept all night again.

"Jinjin." Yue Xunzhu raised her hand and touched Shen Youqing's head. "Didn't you sleep well again last night? Was the illusion very serious?"

Shen Youqing blinked.

"It's alright." Shen Youqing pulled Yue Xunzhu's hand away. "Let's go."

Yue Xunzhu grabbed Shen Youqing's arm and, under her questioning gaze, said, "Jinjin, you haven't combed your hair."

Shen Youqing responded with an "Oh".

Flower Hall.

When the brother and sister arrived, Wei Ningguang, who had been delayed by something, had just arrived as well.

Seeing that Shen Youqing looked listless, she asked with concern, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Shen Youqing nodded.

Under Wei Ningguang's worried gaze, Shen Youqing waved his hand, "I'll go back and catch up on my sleep after breakfast."

Wei Ningguang didn't ask any more questions and nodded.

Jiang Chenying was about to speak when she saw Shen Youqing come in, but seeing that she looked listless, she swallowed her words.

After breakfast, Shen Youqing went back to catch up on sleep, while Jiang Chenying called for Wei Ningguang to leave.

study.

When Shen Qiuluo was invited over, Wei Ningguang was sitting to the side selecting jewelry.

All kinds of headdresses are luxurious and expensive.

Seeing Shen Qiuluo standing at the door without coming in, Wei Ningguang's eyes flickered slightly, and then she smiled and said, "Since you're here, why don't you come in?"

Jiang Chenying held the documents without even looking up.

Looking at Wei Ningguang's seemingly defiant and boastful face, Shen Qiulu felt a cold sneer in her heart.

"Big brother, sister-in-law."

The voice of Yue Ruoshui rang out from behind.

Shen Qiuluo turned around and saw Yue Ruoshui and Jiang Hanying standing three steps away.

Jiang Hanying smiled slightly at Shen Qiuluo, "Miss Shen."

"What are you doing blocking this way?" Yue Ruoshui's cold voice carried a hint of hostility. "Get out of the way."

Shen Qiuluo, like a punching bag, dared not utter a sound and silently hid to the side.

"These are some jewelry pieces that the housekeeper just brought over. Your sister-in-law has been thinking of you all, so come and choose some," Jiang Chenying said without looking up.

"I think your second sister-in-law might like this. Come and take a look." Wei Ningguang smiled and waved, then her smile faded slightly as she said to Shen Qiuluo, "Since you are the head of the family's guests, you should also pick out a set."

Shen Qiulu walked in somewhat hesitantly, "No, no need."

Yue Ruoshui looked at the headdress that Wei Ningguang was pointing to; the silver cloisonné embellished with jade was indeed suitable for Jinjin.

“I think this would suit Second Sister-in-law too,” Jiang Hanying said, pointing to a set of gold and red headdresses.

Yue Ruoshui looked over, pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

Wei Ningguang waved his hand and ordered the maid to send the two sets of jewelry to Shen Youqing.

The three chatted and laughed as they made their selections for a while, until Wei Ningguang seemed to remember Shen Qiuluo standing to the side.

"Take a look," Wei Ningguang said. "Don't you like anything?"

Shen Qiuluo, of course, looked down on these vulgar things, and she timidly refused.

"Master, Madam, Third Young Mistress, Fourth Miss." The steward walked in carrying a brocade box. He opened the box, and inside was a pearl hairpin.

The lustrous and full pearls are very beautiful.

The Xuan Nu Diagram within Shen Qiuluo's body, which had been dormant, suddenly stirred.

Chaos Pearl?
Shen Qiuluo's gaze fell subtly on the pearl hairpin, her eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and determination.

Jiang Chenying, who was holding the document, had been staring at Shen Qiuluo without her noticing. She took in her expression.

"This old servant just went over and found a hairpin that was left behind." The steward presented the hairpin to Wei Ningguang.

Wei Ningguang picked up the pearl hairpin and examined it. "The pearl is indeed nice, but the workmanship is just average."

Yue Ruoshui glanced at it and then looked away. Jiang Hanying noticed out of the corner of her eye that Shen Qiuluo was staring intently at the pearl hairpin.

She glanced slightly at Jiang Chenying, and then at Wei Ningguang.

Jiang Hanying glanced around quickly and said with a smile, "I see that Miss Shen likes this pearl hairpin. Why don't you give it to her, sister-in-law?"

Wei Ningguang had already been informed by Jiang Chenying, and she was thinking of what excuse to use to give the hairpin to Shen Qiuluo when Jiang Hanying spoke up.

“Sure.” Wei Ningguang handed over the pearl hairpin.

Jiang Hanying took the hairpin and handed it to Shen Qiuluo with a friendly smile.

Shen Qiulu tentatively took the hairpin from Jiang Hanying's hand, "Thank you, Madam."

The Mysterious Maiden Diagram within her body grew increasingly restless, as if it wanted her to immediately recognize it as her master by dripping her blood. Shen Qiuluo couldn't help but clench her hairpin tightly.

As Shen Qiuluo emerged from the study, she hid the pearl hairpin in her sleeve, as if afraid it would be snatched away.

After Yue Ruoshui and Jiang Hanying left, Wei Ningguang looked up at Jiang Chenying.

Jiang Chenying asked her with her eyes what was wrong.

"Judging from Shen Qiuluo's reaction just now, it should be the real Chaos Pearl," Wei Ningguang said.

Jiang Chenying coldly asked, "Do you think Shen Youqing would hand over the real Chaos Pearl to Shen Qiuluo?"

“No.” Wei Ningguang answered without hesitation.

Shen Youqing never hid his dislike for Shen Qiuluo from the very beginning.

How could she possibly give such a divine object to Shen Qiuluo?
"How could she have a fake Chaos Pearl?" Wei Ningguang raised her hand to rub her chin, an absurd guess popping into her mind, "Could the real Chaos Pearl be in her hands?"

Jiang Chenying spoke up, "I don't know."

Wei Ningguang thought for a moment but didn't ask.

Just make sure Shen Qiuluo and the demonic cultivators don't get their hands on the real Chaos Pearl.

As for whether the real Chaos Pearl is in Shen Youqing's hands, there's a saying, what's it again? It's an unspoken understanding.

Shen Qiuluo had just returned to the West Garden when she was invited to Jun Su's room by two unfamiliar guards.

Jun Su had just finished drinking his medicine and placed the bowl on the table.

"Where's the stuff?"

Greed overcame fear, and Shen Qiuluo gripped the pearl hairpin tightly in her hand. "I don't know what the city lord said."

Jun Su raised his eyes and gave him a look.

"what--"

With Shen Qiuluo's screams, she was pinned to the ground by guards who had her arms pinned behind her back, and the pearl hairpin in her hand was naturally taken away.

The pearl hairpin ended up in Jun Su's hands.

The ordinary hairpin made Jun Su begin to question its authenticity.

Jun Su held up the pearl hairpin and played with it. "Jiang Chenying called you over and just gave you the Chaos Pearl like that?"

Sweating profusely from the pain, Shen Qiuluo spoke in a trembling voice, "It's...it's true!"

"Oh?"

“The Mysterious Maiden Diagram and the Chaos Pearl resonate with each other; I can tell. They just think it's an ordinary pearl.” Shen Qiuluo gasped twice after speaking, “It hurts…”

Jun Su lowered his eyes to examine the hairpin in his hand, then spread his five fingers.

Wisps of yin energy enveloped the pearl hairpin.

After a moment, Jun Su, sensing the repulsion, withdrew his Yin energy and looked at Shen Qiuluo.

When the pearl hairpin fell into Jun Su's hands, Shen Qiuluo had already given up hope of getting the Chaos Pearl back.

But when she saw the pearl hairpin being thrown in front of her, a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart.

"contract."

As Jun Su's voice faded, the guard released Shen Qiuluo's arm.

Ignoring her aching arm, Shen Qiulu quickly grabbed the pearl hairpin, then pricked her finger and dripped blood onto it.

A powerful force surged into his dantian and merged with the Mysterious Maiden Diagram.

Her arm, which had been twisted painfully, recovered quickly, and Shen Qiuluo's eyes blazed with ecstatic joy.

The Chaos Pearl is hers now!
Shen! Yes! Qing!
So what if I lose my spiritual root and innate sword bone? She is destined to be trampled under my feet for the rest of her life!
