The Masked Strength of the Sect's Trash chapter 50

Chapter 50 Second Senior Brother, you got her pregnant?

"Xia Yu from Shuangyue Valley?"

The four of them were surprised.

Xiao Yi temporarily forgot her nausea and exclaimed, "It’s Senior Sister from Shuangyue Valley!"

After saying this, she glanced at Ji Yan.

Her senior brother was the eldest disciple of Lingxiao Sect. If Xia Yu was here, she was probably looking for Ji Yan.

Lu Shaoqing, with a mischievous grin, leaned in closer to Ji Yan and teased, "Did you get her pregnant?"

"Who would’ve thought? You look so proper, but it seems spring has come for you."

"When did you two start this?"

"Or are you planning to dodge responsibility now that she's here?"

"Who knew you were such a scumbag?"

Ji Yan’s eyes narrowed as he glared at Lu Shaoqing. "Say one more word, and I’ll deal with you today."

Lu Shaoqing quickly changed his tune. "Right, Xia Yu must be here for something important, right?"

"Aren’t you going to go out and see her?"

"A distinguished guest has arrived. As the eldest disciple, shouldn’t you go out and greet her?"

Ji Yan shot him a glance. "Not interested. I’m going to cultivate."

Lu Shaoqing took two more steps closer, staring intently at Ji Yan.

Ji Yan looked at him expressionlessly.

After a moment, Ji Yan coldly asked, "What do you want?"

"You’re feeling guilty," Lu Shaoqing said. "I can see it in your eyes."

"Are you sure you haven’t wronged her in some way?"

"Clang!"

A long sword was unsheathed.

Xiao Yi quickly intervened, "Senior Brother, you should go out and see her."

"You can’t let Master go, can you?"

Xia Yu was the head disciple of Shuangyue Valley, and her status didn’t match that of Shao Cheng. There was no way Shao Cheng would go out to greet a junior. The only suitable person was Ji Yan, the eldest disciple of Lingxiao Sect.

Ji Yan looked at Lu Shaoqing. "You go."

Lu Shaoqing immediately turned his back on Ji Yan and reclined on the bench.

"Do I look like an idiot? Why should I go greet her when I’m not the one who got her pregnant…"

"Clang!"

The long sword was drawn again, revealing a sliver of its blade.

Xiao Yi pleaded, "Senior Brother, you can’t expect me to go, can you?"

Ji Yan glanced around. Their master was still deeply lost in self-doubt and wouldn’t snap out of it anytime soon. As for Lu Shaoqing, there was no hope of relying on him. He was already lying back on the bench like a lazy fish.

After weighing his options, Ji Yan realized he was the only suitable person to go.

With no other choice, he stepped outside.

Xiao Yi, like a curious child, followed closely behind.

It wasn’t long before Xiao Yi came skipping back. "Second Senior Brother, Xia Yu is here to see you!"

"See me?"

Lu Shaoqing was surprised.

"Why would she want to see me?"

"I don’t even know her."

Lu Shaoqing had only heard of Xia Yu as the most beautiful woman in Qizhou, but he had never met her. He couldn’t think of any reason why she would be looking for him.

Xiao Yi’s gossip-loving spirit ignited. "Second Senior Brother, could it be that you’ve had some history with Xia Yu?"

"And now you’re trying to deny it?"

Lu Shaoqing unceremoniously knocked her on the head. "Looking for a beating? Do you think your Second Senior Brother is that kind of person?"

Xiao Yi, rubbing her head, screamed internally, If you’re not that kind of person, then who is?

As the two of them talked, Ji Yan brought Xia Yu and her companions into the room.

Xia Yu, accompanied by Bian Rourou and Fang Xiao, entered together.

Bian Rourou was stunned when she saw Lu Shaoqing. "It’s you?"

Lu Shaoqing, curious, asked, "Who are you?"

Bian Rourou was so angry she could spit blood. The mere thought of her previous encounter with Lu Shaoqing made her fury rise again.

Fang Xiao was puzzled. "Senior Sister, do you know Young Master Lu?"

"Senior Sister, he’s the awful guy I told you about!"

"The one who had the nerve to pretend to be a disciple of Guiyuan Pavilion."

She pointed at Lu Shaoqing, ready to unleash a torrent of scolding.

I’ll make sure he knows not to mess with me!

But Xia Yu cut her off with a firm, "Silence!"

"Show your respect to Uncle Shao."

The three of them paid their respects to Shao Cheng.

At that moment, Shao Cheng temporarily snapped out of his self-doubt. He glanced longingly at the table full of dishes before smiling at Xia Yu, "Niece Xia Yu, are you here to see Ji Yan?"

Xia Yu shook her head. "Uncle Shao, I’m here to see Young Master Lu."

Xiao Yi excitedly tugged at Lu Shaoqing.

"See, Second Senior Brother, Xia Yu really is here for you."

Lu Shaoqing impatiently swatted her hand away.

Lu Shaoqing, puzzled, asked, "Senior Sister Xia Yu, are you sure you’re looking for me?"

He pointed at Ji Yan and said, "Not this guy?"

"If he’s done something wrong to you, just say the word. I’ll have Master deal with him."

As he looked at Xia Yu, even Lu Shaoqing couldn’t help but admit that she was indeed worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in Qizhou.

Dressed in pure white, she was like the goddess Chang’e, radiant and untouchable, inspiring reverence rather than desire.

Xia Yu, in turn, studied Lu Shaoqing.

Lu Shaoqing was different from Ji Yan. Ji Yan’s gaze was sharp, and his presence was like an unsheathed sword, naturally exuding a sense of pressure.

As for Lu Shaoqing, though his appearance was also striking—sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, with long hair casually tied back with a simple blue ribbon—he had a carefree, unruly demeanor.

He sat on the bench with one foot propped up, completely lacking any proper posture.

Even in the presence of the most beautiful woman in Qizhou, he remained nonchalant, showing no intention of impressing her.

However, Xia Yu occasionally caught a glimpse of a sly gleam in his eyes, revealing that he wasn’t as carefree as he appeared.

Xia Yu smiled gently, and it felt like a spring breeze had swept through the room.

"In that case, I’ll be so bold as to call you Junior Brother."

"I’ve heard Senior Brother Ji Yan mention that Junior Brother Lu’s strength is on par with his. I’ve come today to ask for your help, Junior Brother."

Fang Xiao grew nervous, subtly clutching her clothes.

This was her idea. She had told Xia Yu about that night’s events, but she didn’t want Lu Shaoqing to know. She didn’t want him to misunderstand her.

Lu Shaoqing shot a glare at Ji Yan. "You sold me out just to flirt with her?"

"Are you crazy?"

The reason he had been lying low all this time was to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Hardly anyone in Lingxiao Sect knew how strong he really was.

Xia Yu was taken aback. Was this how they spoke to each other?

Ji Yan replied, "I’m doing you a favor."

Lu Shaoqing was annoyed. "Who needs such a hollow favor? A single spirit stone would be more useful."

Shao Cheng scolded, "Stop embarrassing yourselves in front of guests."

He rebuked his two disciples, then turned to Xia Yu. "Niece Xia Yu, if you need help, you can ask Ji Yan."

He knew his disciples well, and Xia Yu was likely wasting her time seeking help from Lu Shaoqing.

Xia Yu explained, "There’s a secret realm, but we’re short on people. I’d like to ask Junior Brother Lu for his assistance."

Upon hearing about the secret realm, everyone understood.

Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t enter secret realms.

Lu Shaoqing glanced at Ji Yan. "Serves you right for breaking through so quickly. Now you can’t even flirt properly."
