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

Chapter 424 But I Like You

Xie Changting didn't know the answer to this question either.

Aside from his talent, background, and looks, Changyan is nothing special.

To this day, he still doesn't know what Shen Qiuluo sees in Changyan.

The Xie family head was extremely worried. Seeing his son standing calmly beside him, he said irritably, "Xie Changting, if you keep gloating, I'll arrange a marriage for you right now."

Shen Qiuluo is currently enjoying immense prestige. If he were to refuse, not only would others not agree, but even the Xie family's clan members and the old ancestors in the back mountains would not agree.

Worry!

Xie Changting pointed to himself, then said with a smile, "Father, which family's daughter have you taken a fancy to?"

Speaking of this, the Xie family head thought about it seriously, "Yue Ruoshui from the Yue family is a very good girl. She is a good match in terms of both talent and background. However, I am most optimistic about Miss Shen the most."

Shen Youqing is a capable and courageous girl, but unfortunately, she was won over by Xiao Er of the Xiao family at a very young age.

Xie Changting sat up straight, about to speak, when his father said, "If it's Miss Shen the Second, you're not good enough for her."

My biological father.

“I know what Changyan is thinking.” The Xie family head sighed again. “Others may not be able to see it, but do you think we can’t?”

For example, back in the secret realm, they just gave away a whole bottle of Grade 6 Rejuvenation Pills without a second thought.

Don't forget, all sword cultivators basically share a common flaw: stinginess.

But Changyan was not stingy with Miss Shen; on the contrary, he was so generous that it frightened his father.

Xie Changting was the one who sighed.

"Xiao Er fought and snatched, and Chang Yan, that wooden stake, had no chance at all. In addition, Xiao Er died protecting Miss Shen. Alas..." Xie Changting sighed deeply after he finished speaking.

"In the end, it's the demonic cultivators who are truly hateful," Xie said. "Let's tell Changyan about this."

"say what?"

Xie Changyan strode in from outside, carrying a long sword on his back. Seeing the looks in his father's and brother's eyes, he bowed and asked, "What did you say?"

Xie Changting pointed to the post next to him, "Shen Qiuluo wants to become your Daoist partner."

Xie Changyan: ?

He strode up, took the post, and unfolded it.

Watching the post turn to dust in Xie Changyan's hands, the Xie family head sighed, "Changyan, you know the current situation. The clan and the ancestors of the back mountain will not refuse."

Xie Changyan turned to look at his father, "I'm going to ask Shen Qiuluo."

What is she after? What does she see in me?
"I'll go with you," Xie Changting said.

He was simply afraid that his younger brother might get angry and kill someone.

Shen family.

When the maid came to inform her, Shen Qiulu was soaking in the hot spring.

Upon learning that Xie Changyan wanted to see her, she was overjoyed and dressed up carefully before going to meet the guest.

However, seeing Xie Changyan standing at the courtyard gate without coming in, Shen Qiuluo's joy faded slightly.

"Why isn't Second Senior Brother coming in?" Shen Qiuluo said, glancing at the maid beside her. "No manners."

Several maids knelt down with a thud.

"Men and women are different." Xie Changyan's icy voice rang out. "Miss Shen, I've only come here today to ask what you see in me?"

Shen Qiulu gazed at the icy man, her thoughts drifting away.

Pulling herself back to reality, Shen Qiulu looked at Xie Changyan's cold and somewhat resistant expression and said softly, "Second Senior Brother, don't you remember?"

Xie Changyan frowned slightly, feeling both impatient and somewhat confused.

What should he remember?
"I ran away to train and encountered danger, and it was my second senior brother who saved me." Shen Qiulu looked at Xie Changyan with admiration and tenderness in her eyes. "Second senior brother, although I no longer have spiritual roots, I am now worthy of you."

Xie Changyan quickly took two steps back, his attitude of refusal and resistance obvious. "I never saved you."

The cold voice was very firm.

Seeing the hurt look on Shen Qiuluo's face, Xie Changyan said coldly, "I'm certain I haven't seen you before you joined the Qingyu Sect. You've definitely mistaken me for someone else!"

He is a sword cultivator, not a Buddhist cultivator!
It's absolutely impossible for him to do something like saving people out of kindness, unless it's a mission given by the sect.

Xie Changting, standing a few steps away, felt a slight jolt in his heart.

It seems he... betrayed his own brother?

Xie Changting glanced at his younger brother with a guilty conscience.

Just then, Xie Changyan turned around and saw his brother's somewhat guilty and uneasy eyes. He narrowed his eyes.

He seems to know the reason!
When he was young, his older brother was a bit of a rascal. Because the two brothers were born of the same mother and looked very similar, he would sometimes sneak out to travel under his own name to avoid trouble.

"Brother."

The cold tone made Xie Changting detect a hint of gritted teeth.

"Cough cough..." Xie Changting coughed lightly, "She is, after all, a young lady from the Shen family. I saved her on a whim when I went out for a walk to clear my head."

Unexpectedly, Shen Qiuluo fell in love with Changyan because of this.

Xie Changyan quickly retreated, betraying his own brother, "Miss Shen, the one who saved you is him, go find him."

Xie Changting could only feel helpless about his younger brother's actions.

Seeing Xie Changyan turn to leave, Shen Qiuluo rushed forward, her voice trembling with anxiety, "But I like you!"

Even if Xie Changyan hadn't saved her, she would still like him!
This affection wasn't unfounded, but she couldn't express it!

In her past life, when Shen Youqing's admirers came to humiliate her, it was Xie Changyan who coldly scolded them away.

Later, he even helped her secretly several times.

For her, who was almost abandoned by everyone, falling in love with Xie Changyan, who was like a lifeline, was as easy as drinking water.

But Xie Changyan only has eyes for that bitch Shen Youqing!
She didn't get Xie Changyan in her past life, but she's determined to get him in this one!

Xie Changyan dodged to the side, and then had to stop and look at Shen Qiuluo.

"I will prepare a gift of thanks for Young Master Xie, but Second Senior Brother, even if you didn't save me, I still love you!" Shen Qiulu looked at Xie Changyan with eyes full of love and sorrow. "Look at me, okay?"

"No." Xie Changyan coldly and bluntly rejected him, "I don't like you, not now, and never in the future."

Watching Xie Changyan turn and leave, Shen Qiuluo's face turned pale, and her eyes filled with tears.

Xie Changting turned around and followed his younger brother.

The two brothers left quickly, leaving Shen Qiulu standing there dejectedly.

The maid kneeling to one side was so frightened that she wished she could just disappear.

"Hehe." Shen Qiuluo suddenly chuckled softly, her eyes filled with madness and stubbornness. "Xie Changyan, you can only be mine in this life!"

……

After leaving the Shen family, Xie Changting silently raised his hand and patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

"I'll go tell my master that I'm going to the Heavenly Mystery Sect." Xie Changyan turned to Xie Changting. "Shen Qiuluo isn't the kind of person who gives up easily. The Xie family will consider my options once I reach the Nascent Soul stage."

The Xie family is only considering making him a Daoist partner with Shen Qiuluo because his value is not high enough. Once his value is high enough, the Xie family will naturally refuse!
Xie Changting nodded, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Xie Changyan waved his hand, clearly not taking it to heart.

After leaving Zhongzhou City, Xie Changyan went to his sect to find his master.

Upon learning that Xie Changyan was being entangled with Shen Qiuluo, Zhang Youli felt somewhat sorry for his unlucky disciple.

In his past life, Xie Changyan's reprimand of the admirers stemmed from his desire to prevent them from using Shen Youqing's name to bully others.
As for subtle help, it mostly happened by chance while doing tasks.

To put it bluntly, Xie Changyan was just an unlucky guy.
