My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 375 - 55: Fifth Senior Brother [Second Update]

Gu Qingqing paused her eating motion for a moment, listened closely, and indeed heard footsteps approaching. She quickly put away her food, looked around, found a sturdy tree, jumped up, and used branches and leaves to hide herself.

Not long after she hid in the tree, a figure appeared by the stream.

The person wore a dark blue round-collared brocade robe with wide sleeves, embroidered with many stars in golden thread on the hem. The entire attire somewhat resembled a starry sky pattern. She remembered this was the attire of the Star Sect, and just like the Direct Disciple Robe of the Langya Immortal Sect, the darker colored attire with more stars also belonged to the Star Sect’s Direct Disciple Robe.

He turned around, and Gu Qingqing saw his appearance clearly, and was so shocked that she couldn’t help exclaiming.

"Fifth Brother!"

Her voice revealed her location. Rong Ye on the ground quickly looked toward the spot where she was, and upon seeing her appearance, the cold demeanor on his face swiftly vanished, turning into delight.

"Geng Geng!"

Rong Ye didn’t expect to meet Gu Qingqing in the Secret Realm and couldn’t help but step forward.

Gu Qingqing descended from the tree, stopped in front of Rong Ye, her face also full of surprise and joy.

"Fifth Brother, I missed you so much." As she spoke, she opened her arms and hugged Rong Ye directly.

Rong Ye hurriedly embraced Gu Qingqing, gently patting her back.

"I missed you too." In front of Gu Qingqing, he always couldn’t help but soften his tone. After such a long separation, he was overjoyed at this reunion.

After hugging Rong Ye for a while, Gu Qingqing felt her emotions stabilize a bit, then released him and carefully examined him, "Fifth Brother, you’re wearing the attire of a Star Sect disciple. Did you join the Star Sect after ascending to the Immortal Realm?"

"That’s right. After my ascension, the city I arrived at was close to the Star Sect. At that time I couldn’t find you guys, so I cultivated there while accumulating strength to make it easier to find you or for you to find me. As you know, our belongings from the Sub-immortal Realm are useless in the Immortal Realm. To live comfortably here, I drew a lot of talismans to make money. Somehow, I caught the attention of the Sect Master of the Star Sect, who said we had a master-disciple affinity and asked if I wanted to become his disciple. Thinking that the Star Sect is one of the four major Immortal Sects, which should make finding you easier, I agreed." Rong Ye nodded and briefly recounted his experiences after ascending.

"Indeed, wherever our senior brothers go, they’re always outstanding." Hearing that the Star Sect’s Sect Master personally requested for Rong Ye to become a disciple made Gu Qingqing proud of him. Remembering how Si Lin and Yue Zhao were also doing well in Tianqi City, she felt that her senior brothers were indeed the best, excelling wherever they went!

Rong Ye loved hearing Gu Qingqing praise him. He immediately revealed a deservedly proud smile, gently patting Gu Qingqing’s head, "Your attire is of the Langya Immortal Sect, isn’t it? Did you join the Langya Immortal Sect?"

"Yes, just after Ah Wu, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and I ascended, we encountered each other and participated in the Langya Immortal Sect’s entrance test. Now I am a disciple of Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, and Ah Wu and the others have become Direct Disciples of the Peak Masters of Langya Immortal Sect. Not long ago, we even met Eldest Brother and Second Brother in Tianqi City, who are also doing well there." Gu Qingqing quickly relayed their side of the story to Rong Ye.

Before entering the Secret Realm, she was thinking about how only the Fifth Brother was left to meet, planning to try her luck elsewhere after exiting the realm, hoping to find him. Unexpectedly, on the first day in the Secret Realm, she encountered Rong Ye!

"It seems our Geng Geng is doing great too!" Rong Ye ruffled Gu Qingqing’s hair, giving her generous praise.

Gu Qingqing lifted her chin slightly, revealing a proud expression identical to Rong Ye’s earlier, causing them both to laugh.

They exchanged more stories about what they had encountered since arriving in the Immortal Realm. Knowing that the other was doing well in their respective sects, they were relieved.

Since they had encountered each other in the Secret Realm and were already close, it was natural to continue together.

Gu Qingqing took out the half-eaten food, and gave one to Rong Ye, who in return took out a stack of talismans, stuffing them all to Gu Qingqing like he used to.

"I’ve been saving these for you, and recently, I’ve improved in cultivation. I’ll draw more for you when I get out." Rong Ye said while handing them over.

Gu Qingqing was long used to Rong Ye and the others occasionally giving her things and accepted them without refusal, checking the talismans to find they were all quite useful. She immediately stored them away, then showed Rong Ye a sweet smile, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Seeing Gu Qingqing’s smile, Rong Ye couldn’t help but smile too.

After resting for a while and feeling their energy restored, they chose a direction and continued walking out.

...

Nan Hua had been walking on the grassland for an hour, finally arriving at a riverbank, where he saw a flock of prairie sheep. The prairie sheep had cultivation levels similar to the High-level Heavenly Immortal Realm, were herbivorous spirit beasts, generally docile and unlikely to attack humans unprovoked. They always moved in groups, making them hard to deal with, so most people wouldn’t easily provoke them.

After he approached, the prairie sheep merely glanced at him, determining he posed no threat, and ignored him.

Having washed his hands and face by the river and eaten a bit, Nan Hua was feeling somewhat fatigued and thought of resting there. However, just fifteen minutes into sitting, the nearby sheep flock became restless.

He quickly stood up and looked around, spotting a pack of Wind Wolves not far away.

The cultivation of the Wind Wolves was similar to the prairie sheep’s, both at the High-level Heavenly Immortal Realm. They also moved in packs and were ferocious by nature. Judging by their appearance, they seemed to be hunting for food, and sensing the disturbance in the sheep flock, the Wind Wolves charged forward swiftly.

With no cover available on the grassland, Nan Hua had no place to hide. He squinted, counting the Wind Wolves and finding there were quite a few, about seventeen or eighteen in number. The most troublesome part was that among them was a Wolf King with a cultivation level at the Low-level True Immortal Realm, just like his own.

It seemed an intense battle was inevitable. Fortunately, the nearby prairie sheep might draw some of the Wind Wolves’ attention, helping to share the burden of the attack.

The Wind Wolves dashed forward rapidly, with not only sharp claws but also the ability to unleash Wind Blades from their mouths. Still some distance from the sheep flock, all the Wind Wolves opened their mouths wide, shooting dozens of Wind Blades towards the flock.
