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

Chapter 415 Once Out, There's No Going Back

The journey wasn't too difficult.

Chi Guyuan spoke slowly about his experience in drawing talismans, and Jiang Hanying listened attentively, raising her doubts and questions when she didn't understand something.

Shen Youqing would occasionally chime in with a few words.

Jiang Hanying was like a dried-up sponge, frantically absorbing the experience of her two personal disciples.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar, growing ever closer.

Sitting on the side, Chi Guyuan leaned out most of his body to look back.

The moon was bright and clear tonight, its light like silver frost falling. He thought he saw... Shen Quelin?!
“Your brother.” Chi Guyuan turned his head back to look at Shen Youqing. “He looks like Young Master Shen.”

Shen Youqing couldn't help but pull on the reins.

Shen Quelin, riding his horse, caught up in no time. Seeing Shen Youqing sitting there driving the carriage, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally caught up with you!"

Jiang Hanying looked at Shen Quelin with some shock.

The mortal realm is vast, and there are many places to go after leaving the south gate of Qingmeng City. Xinghe City is just one of the routes, and there are many other places to go after leaving Xinghe City.

How did he choose this route from so many options?
Chi Guyuan jumped down from the carriage and said to Shen Quelin, "I'll ride a horse."

Shen Quelin responded, dismounted, and handed the riding whip to Chi Guyuan.

Chi Guyuan took the riding whip and mounted his horse.

Shen Quelin sat to one side, took a few breaths, and said, "You guys run pretty fast."

Looking at the young man in his smart attire, Shen Youqing asked as he drove the carriage, "Weren't you leading troops into battle?"

"With your older brothers, do you think they're just decorations?" Shen Quelin shifted his position, then leaned on Shen Youqing's shoulder and closed his eyes to rest.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Jiang Hanying asked, "Third Brother, are you so sure we'll come this way?"

"Of course," Shen Quelin replied lazily, his voice brimming with confidence.

Jiang Hanying was very curious.

Shen Youqing turned his head to look at Jiang Hanying, "Twins have a telepathic connection."

With her around, Shen Quelin could easily guess what route she would take, and vice versa.

Jiang Hanying looked at the brother and sister in surprise.

“My cousin, that heartless bastard, led his troops in a night raid on Qingmeng City. Jun Su is temporarily unable to spare the time.” Shen Quelin closed his eyes, trying to clear his tense nerves. “I’ll send a message back later.”

Shen Youqing raised his hand and touched Shen Quelin's head, then said with disgust, "You smell like sweat."

?

Shen Quelin, who was nearly shaken to death on horseback, didn't have the energy to fight back; he decided to remember this grudge first.

With a playful remark, Shen Youqing pressed down on the camellia tree on his arm, which seemed ready to burst into bloom, and asked, "How are you going to contact my older brother and the others?"

"I have a brilliant plan," Shen Quelin said, keeping everyone in suspense.

Shen Youqing released his hand.

After catching the furtive camellia tree, Shen Quelin opened his eyes and looked at the ever-cheeky camellia tree, exclaiming with surprise and delight, "It's developed intelligence too?"

Shen Youqing responded.

Shen Quelin gently patted a flower bud. "It's fine."

The camellia tree swayed its branches gently, as if responding to Shen Quelin.

Shen Youqing spoke slowly and deliberately, "We are going to the City of No Knowledge, and from there we will return to the Immortal Cultivation Realm."

"Smuggling?" Shen Quelin said.

Shen Youqing rolled her eyes. "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."

Shen Quelin closed his eyes and continued to doze off.

After a moment of silence, Shen Quelin finally spoke, "Before I came to find you, my sister-in-law sent me the latest news: Shen Qiuluo is not at the Jiang residence."

"Ran?"

Shen Quelin simply said, "I don't know."

They might have run away, or they might have gone to find Jun Su; who knows?

Shen Qiuluo has already obtained the Chaos Pearl. Her next step will either be to pester Xie Changyan or to come looking for her.

“I don’t think she’ll let me off so easily.” Shen Youqing shrugged and told Shen Quelin not to go to sleep yet. “Go and send a message now, asking Xie Changyan to come find us.”

Shen Quelin reluctantly sat up straight and whistled.

A moment later, a gyrfalcon landed on Shen Quelin's arm. Shen Quelin stuffed the small note into the bamboo tube, tossed his arm, and watched the gyrfalcon disappear into the night.

Chi Guyuan, on horseback, asked with some curiosity, "Why did you send my second senior brother here?"

"A honey trap," Shen Youqing said frankly.

Chi Guyuan was stunned for a moment, and then his lips twitched as he realized what was happening.

She really doesn't let a single one escape!
"To be honest, I don't know where Fifth Junior Brother is." Chi Guyuan's eyes showed a hint of worry.

"The area of ​​the secret realm is only so big; it's either in Qingmeng City or Shuicheng," Shen Youqing said slowly. "We'll stay in the town for a day tomorrow; Xie Changyan should be able to catch up."

The gyrfalcon is very fast; a day is enough for Xie Changyan to catch up.

Chi Guyuan responded.

The next day.

Before dawn, the group arrived at the town.

However, as soon as they entered the town, they saw two familiar faces on the street.

Xiao Youqi and Yin Yinghuai.

Shen Youqing's mind went blank for a moment. "What are you two doing here?"

Is the secret realm not limited to Water City and Qingmeng City?
"You came from Qingmeng City," Xiao Youqi's cold voice rang out. "And what are you doing here?"

Why do they look like they're fleeing a disaster?

"You also escaped from Qingmeng City." Chi Guyuan looked at the two of them with surprise. "You were in Qingmeng City?"

Are they really fleeing?

Xiao Youqi didn't say anything more.

Yin Zhongyu, inside the carriage, lifted the curtain and peeked out, saying, "We were captured by Jun Su as soon as we arrived in Qingmeng City, but we just escaped."

Looking at his sleepy-eyed younger brother, Yin Yinghuai said calmly, "Young Master Xiao and I are nearby. We killed the demonic cultivators and disguised ourselves to hide. We just arrived here a couple of days ago."

"Shall we go up here?" Shen Youqing invited.

Xiao Youqi waved his hand in refusal, "The inn isn't far from here, let's just go there."

Shen Youqing nodded.

When they arrived at the inn, Yin Yinghuai had already bought the rooms. He handed them the keys and said, "You guys go and rest first, we'll talk this afternoon."

The group of people handed out the keys and went to rest.

Shen Youqing wasn't sleepy at all. She stayed in the room for a while before preparing to go out for some fresh air.

Xiao Youqi and Yin Yinghuai did not leave the inn; they found a quiet spot in the lobby to sit.

Seeing Shen Youqing come down, Xiao Youqi asked, "Didn't you go to rest?"

"not sleepy."

Shen Youqing walked over and sat down to one side.

“We tried, but we can’t get back to Qingmeng City.” Xiao Youqi poured a cup of tea and handed it over. “We can get out but not get in, so it must be the barrier of the secret realm.”

Ordinary people could come and go without any problem, but he and Yin Yinghuai could not enter, as if an invisible barrier was blocking them.

Shen Youqing took the teacup, thanked him, and took a sip. "Secret Realm Rules?"

Xiao Youqi didn't care about any of that; he looked at Shen Youqing.

Her purpose in coming here is to obtain the Chaos Pearl.

If she hadn't obtained the Chaos Pearl before this, things would have been troublesome.

Understanding the meaning in Xiao Youqi's eyes, Shen Youqing nodded.

As long as I get it, that's fine.

Xiao Youqi took a sip of hot tea.

"We plan to go back to the cultivation world from the City of No Knowledge next. What about you?" Shen Youqing asked.

Yin Yinghuai slightly raised her eyes to look at Shen Youqing, her thoughts already on their own.

“I’ll go back,” Xiao Youqi said.

Having obtained the Chaos Pearl, Shen Youqing needed to return to the cultivation world before the demonic cultivators could react.

Yin Yinghuai said calmly, "Me too."

Shen Youqing nodded, and then explained the rest of the journey.
