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

Chapter 455: As long as the goal is achieved in the end.
Looking at the clan elders with their silent expressions, Shen Youqing tilted his head.

"Is there a problem?" The pleasant, melodious voice was cold and tinged with doubt and confusion.

Given the vast difference in cultivation levels, even if those clan elders had problems, they dared not speak up.

"I'm being presumptuous, young master, do you have any plans to impart your cultivation insights?" Elder Shen rubbed his hands together, looking at Shen Youqing with an expectant expression.

Shen Youqing said, "I don't have any special tricks, it's just body tempering and cultivation."

Seeing Elder Shen's blank expression, Shen Quelin's slightly helpless voice rang out, "Third Elder, Shen Youqing has the Mysterious Maiden Diagram and the Chaos Pearl, but her cultivation insights are of no reference value."

Elder Shen San finally understood what was going on after hearing this.

Don't you ever experience a plateau?

Shen Youqing shook his head.

The clan elders remained silent, their faces revealing deep envy.

Elder Shen spoke up to bring the topic back on track, "There are very few experts at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Even if they don't fear the young master's strength, they still have to be wary of the Shen family. I don't think they would be that stupid."

"Hope," Shen Youqing said.

The allure of these three divine items is extraordinary; anyone would be tempted by them.

With cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage being so powerful, they might not necessarily give up.

Upon hearing this, Elder Shen couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow and pity for those powerful figures.

Cultivation is not easy, so don't come here to die.

Shen Lin had long given up on stopping Shen Youqing. He only said, "The Shen family's defensive array can't withstand your meddling. No, the entire Zhongzhou City can't withstand your meddling. Do whatever you want, but the premise is that you stay away from Zhongzhou City."

All eight families are in Zhongzhou City, and he doesn't want the other seven families to come knocking on his door because of Shen Youqing alone.

Shen Youqing nodded.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Shen Lin rejected Shen Youqing's bad idea, saying, "It's unrealistic to kill all those who are denouncing us, but we can kill some of them as a warning to others."

Demonic cultivators have already invaded the cultivation world, yet they still have the leisure to block the gate of the Shen family and demand an explanation. The existence of such people is a waste of resources.

If it weren't for the Shen family's crumbling reputation, he would actually agree with Shen Youqing's approach.

The clan elders present all nodded in agreement.

Upon seeing this, Shen Quelin couldn't help but think that the quick-acting heart medicine might not be needed.

"The Demon Realm's offensive is fierce, and the news of the massacre will inevitably cause panic among the people. The Shen family and the Qingyu Sect will also be pushed to the forefront of the storm."

As Shen Lin spoke, he looked at the two siblings and said, "The Qingyu Sect has a high reputation, so the Shen family will inevitably suffer more insults and condemnations."

Just as Shen Youqing was about to speak, Shen Lin raised his hand and waved, "Shut up first."

"Why?"

Shen Lin scoffed, "You always talk about fighting or killing the moment you open your mouth."

For some reason, he always had the illusion that Shen Youqing could ruin the cultivation world.

“Father, tell me, isn’t this method more effective?” Shen Youqing argued.

It works fast, but your reputation will be ruined even faster!

Shen Lin spoke softly, "Sometimes I really want to wonder if you're some kind of heretical cultivator."

While the demons were massacring cities over there, she killed them all over here!
If things continue like this, the extinction of cultivators will not be a problem.

"Then just consider me an evil cultivator," Shen Youqing said, spreading his hands. "Anyway, after a while, people will inevitably question whether I've gone astray."

Her cultivation speed was abnormal to begin with, so it's understandable that she was suspected of practicing evil arts.

Shen Lin asked, "How do you intend to resolve this matter?"

"Show them evil?" Shen Youqing raised a hand to scratch his cheek, his indifferent voice extremely casual. "Since they've already listed the charges against me, wouldn't it be......"

Shen Lin raised his hand again to interrupt Shen Youqing, "Shen Youqing, I'm begging you! Can you please tone it down a bit in this situation? You come from a prestigious family and are a disciple of the Five Sects! You are a proper cultivator, not a rogue cultivator without a sect!"

Shen Lin felt his heart weakening. There was a reason he disliked Shen Youqing!

"No."

These two words sounded so cold and heartless to Shen Lin.

Looking at Shen Lin, who was taking a deep breath, Shen Quelin's gaze fell on the bottle of quick-acting heart medicine.

The father might need it.

Shen Youqing calmly and composedly spoke about the important matter, "As for Huajian City, if all else fails, I will go there. However, I don't know if Huajian City will disappear altogether."

With her fighting prowess, she'd definitely fight Jun Su to the death if they met.

Shen Lin couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Shen Youqing! You are now the young master of the Shen family! Our Shen family is a legitimate and righteous family, not an evil one!"

"That's not important, as long as the goal is achieved in the end."

Shen Youqing waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

Shen Lin leaned back in his chair, his face showing even more weariness.

"We don't need you to help with Huajian City! You better behave yourself and go with Xiao Er to the Xiao family!" Shen Lin changed the subject and directly passed this hot potato to the Xiao family.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!
"Me, the young master of the Shen family, running off to the Xiao family?" Shen Youqing pointed at himself and said, "Father, don't you think that's absurd?"

Although it's a bit absurd, at least the Shen family won't be in trouble!

"It's alright, there won't be any problems with the Shen family for now, and even if there are, they won't need you," Shen Lin said bluntly. "Just stay put for now!"

In short, now is not the time for Shen Youqing to make a move.

Shen Quelin turned to look at Shen Youqing, "Why don't you take some time to visit the Lingxiao Sect?"

The Heart-Binding Gu is ultimately a hidden danger and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Shen Youqing nodded.

Shen Lin waved his hand impatiently and said, "There's nothing for you to do here, go ahead."

Shen Youqing didn't linger and got up to leave.

Back at Changkang Garden, Shen Youqing followed Xiao Ke's scent to the main house. She went around the screen and into the inner room, where she saw the man sleeping on the bed.

The room was filled with the faint scent of incense, the faint fragrance of camellias emanating from Shen Youqing.

Perhaps because of the familiar smell, Xiao Ke slept quite soundly.

Shen Youqing leaned against the bedpost, holding an ancient book recording runes and studying it.

Sunset West Mountain.

When Xiao Ke woke up, he saw Shen Youqing sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down attentively at a book.

Her sleek, three-dimensional profile exudes a cool and aloof charm, her aura is restrained and serene, and her long, slightly drooping eyelashes cast a shadow on her face, making her look captivatingly focused.

Xiao Ke stared at it intently for a while before lifting the covers and getting out of bed.

As Xiao Ke was putting on his shoes, Shen Youqing, without looking up, said, "Choose one: the Xiao family or the Lingxiao Sect."

"Lingxiao Sect".

The matter of the Heart-Connecting Gu must be resolved as soon as possible!

Shen Youqing closed the book and looked up to see Xiao Ke taking the outer robe from the side and putting it on.

The man with his long hair down looked less cold and stern. His sleepy eyes were relaxed and languid. His good mood after a good night's sleep softened his coldness and made him look much gentler.

"I'll tell Master Kong," Shen Youqing said, standing up and walking outside. "Shen Quelin and the others are coming over for dinner."

Xiao Ke reached out and wrapped his arm around Shen Youqing's wrist, gently pulling her closer. "Help me comb my hair first."

Knowing he couldn't escape, Shen Youqing pressed the man down onto the stool in front of the dressing table, and then combed his hair with a comb.

The crane-shaped jade hairpin tied a portion of her dark hair behind her head, adding a touch of elegance and gentleness to her half-loose hairstyle.
