9: My junior sister is actually the vicious female supporting role?

“It was just a lost competition; it’s not that easy for one’s Dao Heart to collapse,” Shen Qing waved his hand.

“Is that so? But I don’t think that person looks like someone with a firm Dao Heart,” Ning Zhenzhen said, not giving it much thought.

Anyway, it was just a small commotion; she didn’t care whether that Ye-something was dead or alive.

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother, you haven’t asked me about this time… ”

Ning Zhenzhen sat down opposite Shen Qing, then got up and moved to sit beside Shen Qing, leaning in until her face was almost touching his.

Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Qing interrupted her: “Did you encounter anything interesting on your trip down the mountain this time?”

“Oh, I wasn’t finished yet!” Ning Zhenzhen slumped onto Shen Qing’s shoulder as if deflated, then added, “It’s nothing much, just that a good sister I haven’t seen in a long time has returned.”

He might not even know her good sister, so Shen Qing didn’t speak, waiting for Ning Zhenzhen to continue, and at the same time, he cast an Investigation Technique.

【Name: Ning Zhenzhen】

【Cultivation: Spirit Vein Realm Eighth Heaven】

【Special: Villainous Female Supporting Character】

【Description: Believes the Son of Destiny, Lin Yi, is unworthy of her good sister, Jiang Wanqing. Looks down on Lin Yi and obstructs his pursuit of Jiang Wanqing in every possible way. Has already incurred his resentment and may be in life-threatening danger.】

Under the Investigation Technique, Ning Zhenzhen had a faint golden light of destiny around her, but within it lurked black death qi.

Villainous Female Supporting Character?

Life-threatening danger?

Shen Qing frowned.

These were not good terms.

Shen Qing asked, “What is your good sister’s name?”

“Jiang Wanqing, the Eldest Young Lady of the Jiang Family. Senior Brother, do you want to meet her?” Ning Zhenzhen suddenly became interested.

Hearing this, Shen Qing’s expression became strange.

The description of Ning Zhenzhen clearly stated that his Junior Sister looked down on the Son of Destiny, Lin Yi, yet as soon as he asked for a name, Ning Zhenzhen was already planning to introduce the person to him.

Double standards.

However, he liked it.

But, Villainous Female Supporting Character?

Shen Qing really couldn’t imagine Ning Zhenzhen being villainous.

“Alright, when the time comes, I’ll accompany you down the mountain to meet your good sister.”

“Really?” Ning Zhenzhen asked, “It’s a deal, no backing out!”

“Then I’ll continue. Wanqing apprenticed with the Medical Immortal, who lived in seclusion a few years ago, to study medical arts and identify spiritual herbs. However, the Medical Immortal was unwilling to impart the most crucial Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, only teaching it to a disciple named Lin Yi.

“This Lin Yi, I heard, was uneducated and useless before, no different from those village ruffians. I don’t know what the Medical Immortal saw in him to let him inherit the Dao Seeking lineage.

“Oh, right, he also likes Wanqing. I saw him two years ago when I went to visit Wanqing. He clung to Wanqing like a piece of dog-skin plaster, it was disgusting.”

Ning Zhenzhen made no secret of her disgust for Lin Yi.

Shen Qing asked, “Has Jiang Wanqing now completed her apprenticeship?”

Ning Zhenzhen: “Yes, she has two Senior Sisters who finished before her. Now, only that Lin Yi is still on the mountain where the Medical Immortal resides, but I heard he’ll be done soon too, perhaps in a little over a month?”

She wasn’t very clear on the specifics; it was all hearsay.

“Junior Sister, if you go to find this Jiang Wanqing next time, remember to call me.”

“Okay, okay!” Ning Zhenzhen shook her head, smiling, “With me around, Senior Brother will definitely win the beauty’s heart!”

Shen Qing tapped her head.

Compared to winning the beauty’s heart, he was more afraid that Ning Zhenzhen would get killed by that Lin Yi if she went again.

Life-threatening danger must be guarded against.

He was confident that with him present, Ning Zhenzhen would not be in danger.

Shen Qing had some impression of this so-called Medical Immortal; ‘Immortal’ was a self-proclamation, but in reality, the other party’s realm couldn’t even be called a half-immortal.

Moreover, since Lin Yi was going to complete his apprenticeship and descend the mountain, this Medical Immortal couldn’t possibly follow him forever.

After the Outer Sect Grand Competition ends, he can leave the Star Sect and make a trip… These days, Shen Qing had been guiding Ye Qinghe in cultivation, being dragged around by his Junior Sister, and teasing his Senior Sister. It was a pity his Master was still in secluded cultivation.

Since he was going to accompany his Junior Sister to leave the Star Sect, he planned to borrow his Master’s Natal Magical Treasure to take with them.

Zhao Mingyue’s Natal Magical Treasure was a sword, a sword that already had a Sword Spirit.

Shen Qing had already planned it out: if a conflict arose, and if the opponent’s cultivation was higher than his, he would unleash the Magical Treasure. Forget Lin Yi; even Lin Yi’s Master would have to flee.

Having connections should be utilized, after all.

And so, a month later.

The Outer Sect Grand Competition.

Shen Qing sat with the Outer Sect elders. Among the core elders’ direct disciples, he was the only one who came.

So, Shen Qing joined in the fun, sitting with the elders, listening to them chat about which disciples had performed outstandingly recently.

The Outer Sect had elders responsible for teaching, and also managing Outer Sect affairs, for example, the medicinal garden had an elder specifically in charge of it.

Of course, elders didn’t do everything personally; below them were Outer Sect deacons, and deacons in turn managed numerous Outer Sect disciples, layer by layer.

“I wonder if we’ll find any promising talents this time.”

“Isn’t there a disciple who has shown remarkable talent in alchemy recently?”

“You mean that Young Master Ye, Ye Chen?”

“Didn’t he refine a top-grade waste pill during his gamble with Junior Martial Nephew Shen a few days ago, raising suspicions of cheating?”

“But his recent performance cannot be faked, and besides, the cheating incident may not even be true. In my opinion, it was most likely an abnormal performance.”

Hearing these words, Shen Qing was not surprised in the slightest.

Not having such a performance would be strange.

After all, there was now a remnant soul of a Dao Seeking Realm alchemist inside Ye Chen’s body.

Moreover, this was the Protagonist, a person of great destiny.

“Junior Martial Nephew Shen, what do you think?” an Outer Sect elder looked at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing smiled slightly: “I trust the judgment of all the elders.”

Below them was the Martial Arts Arena for the Grand Competition, surrounded by deacons and numerous disciples.

Shen Qing quickly found Ye Chen, who stood proudly among the crowd, just standing quietly, unlike the other disciples around him, who were either nervous or excited.

“Ye Chen, I heard you’ve also reached the Spirit Vein Realm?”

At this moment, someone surrounded by many disciples stepped forward, intending to slap Ye Chen’s shoulder.

Ye Chen dodged to the side, avoiding the slap.

“Oh, I wonder what methods he used. Is his foundation stable? I heard you even cheated in your gamble with Senior Brother Shen?”

The person surrounded by disciples ‘tsk-tsked’ twice: “Truly a tiger father’s dog son.”

“You, surnamed Chu, don’t be so arrogant. We’ll meet on the Martial Arts Arena.”

Ye Chen looked at him coldly.

Chu Xuan seemed to hear something amusing and chuckled: “You? With cultivation that was raised by God knows what kind of medicine, are you even worthy of saying that to me?

“If we meet on the Martial Arts Arena, ten moves. If I can’t defeat you in ten moves, I’ll admit defeat myself.”

Shen Qing watched this scene with interest.

According to the elders nearby, this person was named Chu Xuan, from the Chu Family. The Chu Family and the Ye Family were in the same area, and their relationship had always been poor, so his taunts were perfectly normal at this time.

However, if nothing unexpected happened, Ye Chen might not even need ten moves to defeat him.

But what if there was an accident?

He was sitting here not just to watch an Outer Sect Grand Competition.

Ye Chen seemed to notice his gaze, looked up, and their eyes met. Shen Qing smiled slightly, like a Senior Brother encouraging his Junior Brother.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen did not acknowledge him as a good Senior Brother.
