Chapter 42 The Yue Family
Shen Quelin looked at Yue Xunzhu with a complicated expression.

If he understood correctly, his cousin was saying that Xiao Ke seduced Shen Youqing by using his good looks?

Looking at Yue Xunzhu's elegant, noble, and aloof demeanor, Shen Quelin muttered to himself, "My cousin's cursing is really vulgar."

Here.

After having dinner, Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke took a walk before returning.

When the two returned to the inn, it was already late at night. Shen Quelin, who had been waiting all night, stared intently at Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke.

"What are you doing here?" Shen Youqing asked, then added, "Where's my cousin?"

"My uncle needs to speak with him," Shen Quelin replied, then glanced at Xiao Ke with displeasure before asking Shen Youqing, "Does a meal take this long?"

"We took a walk after dinner." Shen Youqing glanced at Xiao Ke, who had suddenly fallen silent behind him, and then his slightly probing gaze fell on Shen Quelin.

Why did she feel that Shen Quelin disliked her fifth senior brother so much?

If Shen Quelin knew what Shen Youqing was thinking at this moment, he would definitely say, "So you're not blind after all; you can see that."

"Jinjin." Yue Xunzhu's voice came from upstairs.

Shen Youqing looked up.

Yue Xunzhu looked at Shen Youqing in the main hall and spoke gently, "Father wants us to use the teleportation array to return to the Yue family tomorrow."

Shen Youqing nodded.

Yue Xunzhu glanced at Xiao Ke but didn't say anything. She simply told Shen Youqing, "Go back and rest early."

"I understand," Shen Youqing replied obediently.

Yue Xunzhu turned and left, and Shen Youqing also went upstairs to her room to rest.

The next day.

The group set off at dawn, used a teleportation array to reach Zhongzhou, and then headed towards the Yue family.

After returning to her room last night, Shen Youqing did not check the items on the stall. She tidied up her storage ring and then set aside some good items as gifts to give to the Yue family head.

On the way, Shen Youqing checked the small gift he was about to give to the head of the Yue family once again.

Yue family.

Contrary to Chu Jianyan's initial imagination of grandeur and luxury, the Yue family was located in the mountains, far from Zhongzhou City.

At the entrance of the front gate stands a large stone with the two powerful characters "Yue Family" carved on it.

The entrance to the mountain gate is surrounded by all kinds of trees, of varying heights, with different shades of green, full of vitality.

When Yan Dong first saw him, he looked around with surprise in his eyes.

As the group passed through the front gate, the temperature suddenly dropped, becoming refreshing and comfortable, followed by a surge of rich wood-elemental spiritual energy.

Shen Youqing took a deep breath, her brows and eyes relaxing.

"Such rich wood elemental energy!" Chu Jianyan exclaimed in amazement. "This is simply a holy land for cultivating wood-type spiritual roots!"

As a wood-type spiritual root, Chu Jianyan instantly fell in love with the Yue family. The rich wood spiritual power floated around her body. If she hadn't had enough self-control, she probably would have already sat down and started cultivating.

Xiao Ke didn't feel much; if he had to say, he just felt that this place was easy to calm down.

"Senior Sister Chu has an excellent wood spirit root, so she might be suitable to become a healer. Would Senior Sister Chu like to consider coming to the Yue family?" Shen Youqing asked with a smile.

Chu Jianyan shook her head and refused without hesitation, "Lingxiao Sect raised me, that's my home."

The Yue family is good, but nothing beats a good home.

Shen Youqing shrugged and said to Yue Xunzhu with a hint of regret, "Failed to poach members from the Lingxiao Sect!"

Yue Xunzhu shook her head slightly.

The group did not walk up; instead, they went to the teleportation array at the front of the mountain and used it to ascend.

The elegant and grand residence is situated on a hilltop, surrounded by trees and flowers.

As the host, Yue Xunzhu led the way.

"Little Lord."

"Great Elder!"

"Miss Shen, Young Master Shen."

...Many cultivators they encountered along the way greeted them.

Chu Jianyan glanced at him and inexplicably felt that Shen Youqing's status in the Yue family was higher than that of the young master of the Shen family.

main hall.

Elder Yue bowed to the man in the main seat, then found a chair and sat down.

Shen Youqing stepped forward, raised his hand, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Uncle."

Shen Quelin and the others came up and bowed to greet each other in turn.

The man in the main seat was about thirty or forty years old, with a handsome face and an introverted demeanor that gave him an air of unfathomable mystery.

Majestic, elegant, and mysterious.

Yue family head Yue Hehua waved his hand, indicating that the younger generation did not need to be polite.

"So polite?" Yue Hehua teased with a smile, then said to Shen Youqing, "Sit down."

Shen Youqing took out a storage bag and handed it over.

Seeing Shen Youqing's beaming face, Yue Hehua used her spiritual power to grab the storage bag.

Yue Hehua raised an eyebrow as he scanned the storage bag with his divine sense. After Shen Youqing sat down, he said, "You kidnapped someone?"

No wonder Shen Lin looked so strange when he saw me before; it turns out he had already been ripped off by Jin Jin.

that's nice!

The bond between uncle and nephew is so strong that it can break even metal.

Shen Youqing's face hardened. "I didn't steal anyone! Do I look like that kind of person?! Uncle, you're spreading rumors!"

Seeing the little girl pretending to be angry with a straight face, Yue Hehua was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Alright, alright, Uncle was wrong. Our Jinjin has grown up and knows how to be considerate of Uncle."

"Of course!" Shen Youqing raised her head slightly, her proud little expression vividly displayed.

"Uncle has received your heartfelt gift. Please keep these things for yourself." Yue Hehua used her spiritual power to send the storage bag to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing blinked.

It's reasonable to suspect that her uncle looked down on her meager earnings.

"Go back and rest. I'll give you a lesson later," Yue Hehua said to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing nodded, got up, took the storage bag, and left.

Yue Hehua suppressed the gentle and loving expression on her face, and her tone became distant, "The guest rooms for the two young friends have been prepared, and a maid will escort you there."

Upon first meeting Yan and Xiao Ke, they nodded in acknowledgment.

Seeing Yue Hehua's gaze fall on him, Shen Quelin spoke up, "Uncle, I plan to go to the Hehuan Sect with Shen Youqing next."

Elder Shen, who was standing to the side, glanced silently at his young master.

Well then, as for the patriarch... I hope he has good fortune.

"Hmm," Yue Hehua responded, her expression somewhat indifferent.

Seeing this, Chu Jianyan and Xiao Ke suggested going to rest.

After the two left, Shen Quelin looked at Yue Hehua and said in a cold and clear voice, "I was in seclusion when the sect transfer was announced. I left an hour early to see Shen Youqing off, but Shen Youqing had already gone to the Hehuan Sect."

Yue Hehua's cold expression softened slightly.

Yue Xunzhu, who was standing to the side, had already picked up her teacup and started drinking tea.

"Regardless, this matter has wronged Jinjin." Yue Hehua stated her position first, then continued, "That Shen Qiuluo..."

Mentioning this name made Yue Hehua feel as if his mouth had been stained, and a hint of coldness appeared between his brows.

"Your mother must be blind to have fallen for your father." Yue Hehua made no attempt to hide her disdain for Shen Lin.

Shen Quelin didn't quite understand before, but now that he has Xiao Ke, he can understand his uncle's feelings of disdain very well.

"What exactly is the situation with Shen Qiuluo?" Yue Xunzhu asked, seemingly on behalf of his father.

Given Jinjin's proud temperament, she would never provoke trouble. Her uncle has many children, and the others get along well with Jinjin.
