Chapter 16 Why are you eating it!
Xiao Ke met Shen Youqing's gaze, and her figure was reflected in those affectionate and deep peach blossom eyes.

Once Shen Youqing looked away, Xiao Ke asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Shen Youqing thought for a moment, but in the end, she didn't tell Xiao Ke about Fei Xuwan's matter.

Fifth Senior Brother felt disgusted and resistant towards that woman. If he knew, he would probably feel guilty and ashamed. Anyway, I didn't suffer any loss, so I won't tell Fifth Senior Brother about that little thing.

After walking a few steps, Shen Youqing suddenly thought of something.

"Fifth Senior Brother, how did you know about the sect reshuffle?" Shen Youqing's clear eyes were full of curiosity.

Given my father's temperament, this matter would definitely have been suppressed. How did Fifth Senior Brother find out?
“I come from the Xiao family,” Xiao Ke replied.

Shen Youqing didn't react for a moment.

“The Xiao family of Zhongzhou.” Xiao Ke raised his hand and gently tapped Shen Youqing’s head with his finger. “My uncle is a direct descendant of the Shen family.”

Shen Youqing began to think seriously.

"Who cares?" Shen Youqing said in despair, unable to remember anything.

The relationships between the several prominent families in Zhongzhou are a tangled mess; going back three generations, they are all related by blood.

Looking at Shen Youqing's appearance, Xiao Ke slowly said, "The two girls of the Shen family were found to have top-grade spiritual roots at birth. The five sects drew lots, and the Qingyu Sect drew Shen Youqing, while the Lingxiao Sect drew Shen Qiuluo."

Shen Youqing glanced at Xiao Ke, then stepped over the tangled branches and continued walking.

"Shen Qiuluo's request to switch sects was suppressed, but those who need to know know it." Xiao Ke said calmly, "Lingxiao Sect dislikes her very much. The sect leader of Lingxiao Sect even said that he was grateful to Shen Qiuluo for not leaving."

Shen Youqing responded with an "Ah?"

That's exactly what I wanted to hear!
That sect leader of the Lingxiao Sect must be quite a remarkable person.

"It's no wonder the Lingxiao Sect Master acted this way. That sect master prepared a lot for Shen Qiuluo, but she and the Shen family head cried and made a scene, insisting on going to the Qingyu Sect. This move completely trampled on the Lingxiao Sect's reputation. The fact that the Lingxiao Sect didn't expose this is already incredibly magnanimous," Xiao Ke said calmly.

Shen Youqing, who was oblivious to everything else, was amazed.

So that's how Shen Qiulu switched sects.

There were clearly better methods, but she chose the worst one.

It has to be said that Shen Qiuluo is very good at offending people!

However, given that the Lingxiao Sect Master had prepared so much for Shen Qiuluo, why would Shen Qiuluo say that the Lingxiao Sect Master was not a responsible master?

Could it be that Shen Qiuluo did something?
That's most likely the case.

"Speaking of which, I'm afraid the Lingxiao Sect has grown to dislike me as well." Shen Youqing rubbed the snow crystal purple-eyed cat in his arms and pondered, "I need to find some time to go to the Lingxiao Sect to apologize."

She didn't do a decent job either.

Xiao Ke was silent for a moment, then said, "No."

Shen Youqing's eyes were full of surprise.

Xiao Ke paused for a moment, but finally chose to tell the truth, "The Lingxiao Sect unanimously believes that you came to the Hehuan Sect because you were wronged. The Lingxiao Sect Master is preparing to discuss with my master about taking you back."

Shen Youqing: ?

WTF? !
No, she clearly came to the Hehuan Sect with great joy, how could she have gone there after being wronged?

Don't be too outrageous!

"Huh?" Shen Youqing was completely bewildered. "What have I been wronged about? I haven't been wronged at all!"

"They think that you brought up the Hehuan Sect to blackmail Patriarch Shen into not changing sects," Xiao Ke said calmly.

Shen Youqing: ...

Seeing Shen Youqing speechless, Xiao Ke slowly said, "Once you've come to the Hehuan Sect, your master won't let you leave."

He wouldn't let Shen Youqing leave either.

"I'm not leaving. I really like the Hehuan Sect!" Shen Youqing said solemnly. "If I have the chance, I will explain things to the Lingxiao Sect Master and apologize as well."

"This isn't your fault," Xiao Ke's voice was deep and magnetic. "It's your freedom to choose which sect to join."

Just as Shen Youqing was about to say something, the camellia flower on her hair suddenly flew off.

A moment later, a camellia with a white bud came over. The red camellia swayed its fully bloomed double-petaled flower, as if showing off its achievement.

"White camellia?" Shen Youqing picked up the wilted, seemingly dead white camellia from his body, then said to the camellia, "So, I've made a contract with it?"

Before the words were even finished, the red double-petaled camellia opened its flower center, revealing sharp thorns, and devoured the white camellia.

Before Shen Youqing's fist could even land, the white camellia was gone.

"..." Shen Youqing slapped the double-petaled camellia flower. "Why would you eat it?"

She was thinking of contracting a few more spiritual plants, but well, she'll just contract the air for now!

The camellia drooped its petals pitifully, as if pleading with Shen Youqing through a contract, "Master, if only you had one of me!"

Shen Youqing felt even more helpless because of his aggrieved yet domineering attitude.

This isn't a camellia, it's clearly a hibiscus!

"You're not allowed to eat those spiritual plants. I want to form a contract with them." Shen Youqing patted the camellia petals and spoke seriously.

The camellia remained silent, but it was already secretly plotting how to devour those spiritual plants.

Seeing Shen Youqing's helpless expression, Xiao Ke spoke in a cold voice, "Is this camellia disobedient?"

“Absolutely, it’s incredibly domineering,” Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke complained. “I was just about to contract that white camellia, and it just ate it whole.”

Xiao Ke seemed to be considering Shen Youqing's feelings, "Should we change to a different spiritual plant?"

Upon hearing this, the camellia that was devouring the white camellia immediately revealed a ring of sharp thorns towards Xiao Ke.

“Indeed unruly and wild.” Xiao Ke looked at Shen Youqing with a worried gaze, his cold tone revealing a hint of seriousness. “His wild nature is hard to tame; I’m afraid he might turn against his master.”

Upon hearing this, the camellia immediately nuzzled against Shen Youqing, demonstrating with its actions that it would not devour its master.

Xiao Ke's eyes turned cold for a moment.

An eyesore.

"Never mind, let's keep it for now." Shen Youqing patted the bright red petals. "Let's go find the Jade Marrow Fungus first."

Camellias entwined in Shen Youqing's hair, pointing the way.

Xiao Ke glanced at the camellia that looked like an ornament.

"Don't worry, senior brother." Shen Youqing mistakenly thought that Xiao Ke was worried that the camellia would devour its master, so he immediately said, "It's just a bit domineering and doesn't want me to form a contract with other spiritual plants. Otherwise, it's very obedient."

"It's not a life-bound contract, so such domineering behavior is not good." A cold and clear voice rang out, "My suggestion is to deal with it as soon as possible."

The camellia, which had already developed sentience, really wanted to gnaw on the flute.

But it dared not, for fear of being punished by its owner.

The aggrieved camellia could only express its grievances by sticking close to Shen Youqing.

"Let's take a look first," Shen Youqing said.

Xiao Ke said no more.

Guided by the camellia, the two soon spotted the chalcedony fungus growing in a crevice in the rock.

The pure white chalcedony fungus grows in the damp, shady crevices of rocks.

"I'll go pick them." With that, Xiao Ke left.

As soon as he approached the damp rocks, the snakes lurking in the crevices quickly emerged.

The snake's brightly colored body looks extremely venomous.

With a flick of his wrist, the fireball landed precisely on the snake.

The camellia that had been on Shen Youqing's head fell to the ground and grew, its roots silently spreading through the soil before suddenly bursting out and piercing the bodies of many snakes.

It will be the third watch today, and the third watch tomorrow.
Thank you for your generous donations, everyone!

The male lead is a bit of a yandere, obsessive, and love-struck fool; he falls in love with Qingqing at first sight.
