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

Chapter 406 She hoped Xiao Ke could live

The three siblings laughed and joked for a while. Shen Youqing ate breakfast on the side, while Yue Ruoshui, unwilling to give up, played chess with Yue Xunzhu, determined to win a game.

Not long after Shen Youqing finished breakfast, it was lunchtime, and the three of them went to the flower hall to eat together.

Liang Shimu was absent due to other commitments, but Lin Youran arrived carrying a fluffy white fox.

The little fox pounced on Shen Youqing as soon as it saw him.

Shen Youqing caught the little fox steadily, gave it a couple of rubs, and watched the little guy whimpering and rubbing against her affectionately, using a familiar and gentle touch.

Lin Youran shook her head at the sight.

In her arms, he was a cold and aloof person who didn't like to talk to anyone, but as soon as he was in his junior sister's hands, he would whine and act cute.

The snow-white cat with purple eyes in the space meowed twice and then went to cultivate.

It's alright, a fox that already has an owner won't try to steal its owner.

"It seems like it will work." Jiang Chenying handed the prepared lotus root and pork rib soup to Wei Ningguang.

Wei Ningguang took a sip of hot soup, feeling much more alive. She looked at the fox in Shen Youqing's hand and asked, "How's its fighting ability?"

Lin Youran shook her head, then directed Lin Jinyao to serve her soup.

Having succumbed to the elixir, Lin Jinyao served her a bowl of soup, and then casually served Shen Youqing a bowl as well.

“We haven’t been able to find out anything about the Chaos Pearl.” Lin Youran took a sip of hot soup from her bowl.

Shen Youqing placed the little fox on his lap and began to drink the soup.

Jiang Chenying's cold voice rang out, "I saw Jun Su this morning, and he's going back this afternoon."

This news is both good and bad.

Jun Su's return means Shen Youqing will be safer, but it also means they haven't reached an agreement, and Qingmeng City might be besiege.

Shen Youqing took a sip of soup.

"I don't know where the others are, the situation is bound to get chaotic," Wei Ningguang said worriedly.

"Trust them, and you'll definitely be able to protect yourself," Chu Jianyan said.

Wei Ningguang thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

After dinner, Shen Youqing and the others prepared to go out for a stroll.

Lin Jinyao raised her hand and touched Lin Youran's face. "You look so radiant after just a few days!"

"..." Lin Youran glanced at Lin Jinyao, "How about we switch identities? I can't take it anymore."

Ever since Yang Yousheng became a mistress, he has been using all sorts of tricks. One of them is enough, but then there's Liang Shimu, who seems to thrive on chaos.

Lin Jinyao refused without hesitation, saying, "Control yourself."

Lin Youran rolled her eyes at her.

There was no way to resist the handsome looks of the eldest and fourth junior brothers.

I can only feel sorry for her back.

Jiang Hanying was somewhat experienced, and while she wasn't shy, she was also a little curious.

Yue Ruoshui, on the other hand, was used to it; after all, she had a younger sister who was a direct disciple of the Hehuan Sect!

A group of people walked out chatting and laughing, but...

Jun Su came towards them, followed by two guards.

Shen Youqing looked up and met Jun Su's gloomy gaze, and the relaxed atmosphere vanished instantly.

Lin Jinyao and Lin Youran stepped forward simultaneously to block Shen Youqing.

Yue Ruoshui pulled Shen Youqing behind her.

Chu Jianyan and Jiang Hanying stood silently on either side of Shen Youqing, their protective stance obvious.

Looking at the people surrounding him, Shen Youqing couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart.

Jun Su stood a few steps away, watching this scene with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"It's alright, let's go." Shen Youqing patted Yue Ruoshui's arm to reassure her.

Yue Ruoshui turned her head and looked at Shen Youqing, saying, "Didn't you make a promise to play chess with your second brother?"

Knowing that Yue Ruoshui didn't want her to go out, Shen Youqing didn't refuse. She nodded and said, "Then let's go."

Lin Jinyao and the others wholeheartedly agreed with this.

residence.

Yue Xunzhu sat in front of the chessboard, seemingly playing against himself. Hearing a noise at the courtyard gate, he looked up and saw the group of people who were supposed to be out shopping standing there.

"Why didn't you go shopping?" Yue Xunzhu asked, gesturing for a maid waiting in the distance to prepare tea.

Shen Youqing walked in and sat opposite the chessboard. "I ran into Jun Su. My third sister-in-law and the others were worried about me, so I came back."

Yue Xunzhu responded.

"Brother, wanna play chess?" Shen Youqing picked up a black piece. "The kind with stakes."

"What do you want to bet on?" Yue Xunzhu asked, starting to tidy up the chessboard, preparing to play chess with Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing's eyes crinkled into a smile. "If I win, I want three top-grade wood-type spirit stones."

Yue Xunzhu nodded in agreement, "If I win... you can give me whatever you want."

"Second Brother, you can just say you don't lack anything." Yue Ruoshui stood behind Shen Youqing, encouraging her, "Kill them all without leaving a single one alive!"

"Third sister-in-law, you really overestimate me," Shen Youqing said helplessly.

Her chess skills were taught by her brother.

In chess, she certainly doesn't have the ability to surpass her teacher.

Yue Ruoshui glanced at Yue Xunzhu, looking at her brother's gentle and composed demeanor, and whispered, "If you act cute and unreasonable, your second brother will definitely let you off the hook."

Shen Youqing shook his head helplessly.

It seems Sister Ruoshui was utterly annihilated and is holding a grudge.

"You go first," Yue Xunzhu said.

Shen Youqing responded.

Once the game began, the brother and sister remained silent, as did the others watching from the sidelines.

The battles on the chessboard are fought without gunpowder, yet they are exceptionally intense.

These two siblings are a perfect match.

Jiang Hanying prided herself on her chess skills, but she wasn't confident she could win against these two siblings.

An hour later.

Yue Xunzhu won by one move.

Shen Youqing rolled up his sleeves and took off the green branch and flower bracelet.

When she took off the bracelet, she placed a restriction on it in the name of its owner.

There would still be entanglements between her and Jun Su, so she couldn't and dared not take Xiao Ke on any risks.

This space is Xiao Ke's hope for resurrection; she hopes Xiao Ke can live.

Yue Xunzhu's gaze shifted from the table to Shen Youqing's face. Seeing her pained expression, she said, "If you can't bear to part with it, then wear it. Besides, I won't need a bracelet anyway."

"I'll mortgage it first, and I'll redeem it when I get back," Shen Youqing said.

Yue Xunzhu smiled helplessly, took the bracelet and put it away.

"This bracelet is quite beautiful, but it doesn't show any spiritual energy fluctuations," Yue Ruoshui said to Shen Youqing. "Is it a magic artifact?"

Shen Youqing nodded. "I just like it to look good."

"Then let's not redeem it, it's worthless." Yue Ruoshui raised her hand and put it on Shen Youqing's shoulder, "Let Second Brother lose money!"

Shen Youqing said quietly, "It's alright, I'll redeem it with a spirit stone later."

Seeing his two younger sisters loudly plotting in front of him, Yue Xunzhu felt helpless yet indulgent.

"Jun Su should be setting off soon." Yue Xunzhu glanced at the sky, then said to Shen Youqing and the others, "I heard there's a lantern festival tonight, aren't we going to go see it?"

Shen Youqing and the others exchanged glances, then got up and left.

They came out in the afternoon, and it was evening soon after they started shopping.

By the time we came out of the restaurant after having dinner, it was already dark.

Exquisite and beautiful lanterns can be seen everywhere on the bustling streets.

"There are so many cultivators," Lin Youran said softly.

Lin Jinyao, standing next to her, could barely hear her. She looked around and whispered, "Quite a few cultivators have died in the past few days."

Lin Youran couldn't help but shake her head.

Things may seem peaceful on the surface, but crises are actually everywhere.

How many cultivators would be able to react and integrate into the community, turning themselves from high-ranking figures into ordinary people?
