19: Yun Qingyao wants Shen Jinhuan to lose everything again

Yun Qingyao was like a spoiled child.

What she obtained easily, she took for granted, disdaining those who were good to her.

But what she couldn't get, she would desire, and then use every possible method to obtain it.

Jiang Ning would not indulge the female lead, but he also didn't want to offend her.

Facing the subtly manipulative Yun Qingyao, Jiang Ning chose to remain silent.

He continued to meticulously and gently comb Shen Jinhuan's hair.

Then, he took out the young girl's previous Wooden Hairpin, twisted it twice to the left and twice to the right, pinning half of Shen Jinhuan's hair behind her head.

The other half flowed down her back, following the pinned hair.

In this world, not all female cultivators who don't have their hair fully pinned up are single.

But those who have all their hair pinned up must be female cultivators who have found a Dao Companion.

Shen Jinhuan's heart leaped with joy.

It had been a year.

She finally had that feeling, a feeling that belonged to her, that would never be snatched away by anyone.

Especially since the person trying to snatch her things was Yun Qingyao.

Before, anything she possessed, even a small pet she had casually picked up,

As long as Yun Qingyao said, "So cute," someone would snatch it from her and present it to Yun Qingyao as if offering a treasure.

Yet, this feeling of being favored was given by the man who had abused her the most deeply.

Shen Jinhuan's emotions were somewhat complex.

My obedient Disciple's mood isn't good... Jiang Ning's heart sank.

Glancing at Yun Qingyao, who was still awkwardly sitting on the stone stool, Jiang Ning sighed.

"Young Sect Master."

"Sixth Elder, you can just call me Qing Yao!"

Jiang Ning didn't respond to that.

"I still have some matters to attend to here, so I cannot entertain the Young Sect Master..."

"It's fine!"

Yun Qingyao was determined to win back Sixth Elder's favor.

"If Sixth Elder is busy, I can go wander around the mountain. It's been a long time since I've wandered around Sixth Elder's mountain, and it's also been a long time since I've seen my fellow Disciples."

With that, Yun Qingyao stood up.

"Then, Sixth Elder, Qing Yao won't disturb you anymore."

She quickly departed.

After slowly walking out of Jiang Ning's sight, pretending to be generous,

Yun Qingyao gnashed her teeth, drew the Spirit Sword Qiong Yu had chosen for her, and cleanly sliced a mountain rock into two halves with a single strike.

"Shen Jinhuan!"

Yun Qingyao's face was distorted with rage.

"Young Sect Master!"

Suddenly, two Utility Disciples ascended the mountain from below.

Yun Qingyao's expression changed.

"Hello, everyone!"

The Utility Disciples said with a smile, "We didn't expect the Young Sect Master to visit. Does Sixth Elder know? Should we inform Sixth Elder?"

Recently, the Utility Disciples of Sixth Peak had also been quite prosperous.

Sixth Elder's reputation was soaring, and many Disciples would give them Spirit Stones to inquire about news.

"No need."

Yun Qingyao shook her head, "I just visited Sixth Elder. Sixth Elder seems very busy, so I came out to wander around by myself."

"How can an Elder let the Young Sect Master wander around this mountain alone?"

"Perhaps Sixth Elder is being pestered by Junior Sister Shen."

Yun Qingyao's tone was full of grievance.

In the eyes of the two Utility Disciples, it was as if their own parents had been wronged.

They became anxious.

One Disciple whispered, "Shen Jinhuan must have used some method to regain Sixth Elder's favor.

Young Sect Master, please don't be sad. Let me vent your anger for you!"

"Ah?" Yun Qingyao hastily waved her hand, "No, no, Junior Sister Shen didn't do it on purpose. We are all fellow Disciples, let's not fight among ourselves!"

The other Utility Disciple was very indignant.

"The Young Sect Master is kind-hearted and always thinks of others, but unfortunately, some people don't appreciate it at all.

If you ask me, as the Young Sect Master, you should have taught Shen Jinhuan a lesson long ago."

"Really, there's no need!" Yun Qingyao said with a smile, "You two go quickly and get busy, don't get punished because of me. Also, thank you for comforting me.

I feel much better.

Take these two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones as my thank-you gift!"

"Young Sect Master, we can't accept this."

"It's fine, if you consider me the Young Sect Master, then take them. I'm going to other places now!"

Yun Qingyao stuffed the two Mid-Grade Spirit Stones into their arms and hurried away.

The two Utility Disciples angrily exchanged words.

"The Young Sect Master is truly kind. Compared to her, Shen Jinhuan is nothing."

"Exactly. Last time I went to Sixth Elder's place, Shen Jinhuan saw me and looked as if she wanted to hit me, completely ignoring me."

"Me too!"

"Since we've taken the Young Sect Master's Spirit Stones, we must vent some anger for her!"

"What do you plan to do?"

"You don't know, what Sixth Elder hates most is a loud noise in the surrounding environment when he's cultivating."

"Good idea!"

Having thought of a plan, the two immediately went to execute it.

Yun Qingyao watched silently from the side.

She sneered.

In the small courtyard.

After her hair was styled, Shen Jinhuan resumed practicing Azure Wave Nine Stack in the courtyard.

She noticed that Yun Qingyao's Qi and blood were becoming increasingly vigorous and contained.

The last time she came, she only felt that Yun Qingyao could draw Qi into her body at any moment if she wished.

But today, she could barely perceive the surging Qi and blood from Yun Qingyao.

Containing Qi is more difficult than releasing it.

She had to speed up, she had to catch up to Yun Qingyao's pace, and tell everyone in the Bixiao Sect that even with a year's difference, she could still surpass her.

At that time, everyone would have to admit that she was the Genius of the Bixiao Sect, even more of a Genius than Yun Qingyao.

She would return all those humiliations and pains!

Shen Jinhuan's fists moved with a powerful whoosh.

At this moment, Jiang Ning was in the side room, preparing a medicinal bath for Shen Jinhuan.

Just then, two Utility Disciples walked in.

They observed for a moment, didn't see Jiang Ning, and thought he must either be cultivating or doing Alchemy.

The two exchanged glances.

They entered the small courtyard together.

They stealthily approached Shen Jinhuan, and as her Qi and blood surged, they suddenly threw a piece of broken stone.

Shen Jinhuan tried to dodge, but collided with the other Utility Disciple.

She crashed directly into the stone table in the courtyard.

Boom!

The stone table collapsed, emitting a loud rumble.

The two Utility Disciples exchanged a triumphant smile.

They immediately shouted.

"Senior Sister Shen, are you alright! How did you suddenly crash into the table!"

Yun Qingyao, hiding outside, curled her lips into a smile.

Not bad, they actually have some brains.

They knew how to use Sixth Elder's taboo to make Shen Jinhuan lose favor again!

The door burst open with a bang.

Jiang Ning, looking tense, quickly walked out.

The Utility Disciples and Yun Qingyao watched Shen Jinhuan with amusement.

Shen Jinhuan, she's finished!

Judging by Sixth Elder's expression, he's likely to give Shen Jinhuan a beating. Whether she can regain his favor after that remains to be seen!

Shen Jinhuan stared in astonishment at the two Utility Disciples.

When she was mistreated, these two often bullied her under the pretext of "venting anger for Yun Qingyao."

Now that she had gained Jiang Ning's attention, she didn't expect these two to still dare to cause trouble!

Shen Jinhuan looked at Jiang Ning, who was walking towards her with a serious expression.

Her nerves were taut.

It's over.

Shen Jinhuan, who had been beaten many times for making noise,

Knew too well what Jiang Ning hated.
