My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 420 - 100: [Second Update]

Wen Xiyue, Leng Yan, and Helian Shen have been meticulously trained by their families for many years, so their resilience was commendable. They didn’t resort to harming Jun Wu for securing first place, but they felt the pressure and diligently applied themselves.

After leaving the plaza, Wen Xiyue intended to go home directly, but Helian Shen stopped her. He approached Wen Xiyue with a cheerful grin, proposing to treat her to a meal. Wen Xiyue initially refused, but Helian Shen somehow persuaded Leng Yan. With Leng Yan going, Wen Xiyue felt it wouldn’t be right not to join, so she accompanied Helian Shen to the restaurant.

Coincidentally, the place they went was the same place Gu Qingqing and the others chose, leading to a chance meeting between the two groups at the restaurant entrance.

The entire Zhonglan City had come to know that the three of them lost to a previously unknown man. Those who had just seen Jun Wu and the others head to the restaurant stopped to witness the encounter, and soon, the surroundings were filled with onlookers.

Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu hadn’t expected to encounter Leng Yan and the others at the entrance. Both groups stood at the doorway, where the order of entry felt somewhat awkward.

"You’re Mr. Jun, aren’t you? I’m Helian Shen. Since we’ve met, why don’t we join together?" Helian Shen approached Jun Wu and Gu Qingqing with a cheerful suggestion.

Jun Wu did not respond immediately and instead looked at Gu Qingqing.

"Then let’s go together," Gu Qingqing, curious about Leng Yan and the others, accepted Helian Shen’s invite, now that he’d extended it.

With Gu Qingqing agreeing, Jun Wu had no objections, and the five entered the restaurant together.

The onlookers, who had anticipated a clash or at least an argument between the two groups, were surprised and somewhat disappointed, realizing there was no drama to observe.

Jun Wu had reserved a seat the previous day, but Helian Shen had his personal suite in the restaurant, which was preferable to sitting in the main hall, so they proceeded to the suite together.

After settling in, the five began to introduce themselves.

"Mr. Jun, this is Miss Wen Xiyue from the Wen family, and this is Mr. Leng Yan from the Leng family. How should we address this lady?" Helian Shen turned a curious gaze to Gu Qingqing.

"This is my wife, surname Gu, given name Qingqing," Jun Wu’s expression was tender when introducing Gu Qingqing, his gaze soft and fixed on her, showing his deep regard.

Hearing this, Helian Shen and the others were slightly taken aback.

Originally thinking that Gu Qingqing might be Jun Wu’s sister or junior disciple, or at most a couple, they were surprised to learn she was his Dao partner!

Given their youthful appearance, it was astonishing that Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu were already married. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Where are you from, Mr. Jun? Judging by your appearance, you must be from a major sect, correct?" Helian Shen inquired curiously towards Jun Wu.

It was evident Jun Wu and Gu Qingqing were not ordinary individuals—for neither common families nor sects could nurture people with such distinguished manners. Especially with their presence even standing next to them, one would merely become backdrops.

"We are disciples of the Langya Immortal Sect, simply passing through Zhonglan City upon hearing about the Artifact Refining Tournament, wishing to observe." Jun Wu only mentioned their sect, not revealing they were personal disciples of the Sect Master and Peak Master; as disciples of Langya Immortal Sect, it wasn’t something to hide and could prevent certain troubles!

Indeed, upon learning they were disciples of Langya Immortal Sect, the trio was astonished.

Langya Immortal Sect’s recruitment requirements among the four major sects were known to be the highest, even above Star Palace, which primarily sought individuals with special talents, though rare, still numerous, inherently demanding. However, Langya Immortal Sect’s requirements were even stricter, demanding exceptional talent to become a disciple.

Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu being from Langya Immortal Sect indeed indicated their prowess.

Leng Yan’s personality was exceedingly detached, indifferent towards both people and food, as if unconcerned, whereas Wen Xiyue, though not as extreme as Leng Yan, focused sincerely on Artifact Refining Technique. As such, the discussion at the table naturally veered towards these topics.

Jun Wu’s Artifact Refining was initiated by Si Lin, largely taught by him, and he had consulted masters across the Sub-immortal Realm, making him not only proficient in refining but adept in all related aspects.

Though Gu Qingqing wasn’t as skilled in Artifact Refining as Jun Wu, during her time in Xuantian Continent, she had learned from her senior martial brothers, gaining pieces of expertise, including Artifact Refining. Moreover, during her time in the Sub-immortal Realm, Si Lin often talked about these matters, allowing her to contribute to the conversation, surprising the trio.

The meal lasted for more than an hour, leaving both Helian Shen’s trio and Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu quite pleased.

"I thoroughly enjoyed this meal; meeting a friend like Mr. Jun is truly a great fortune in life," Helian Shen, seeing Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu to the door, commented brightly towards Jun Wu.

This time, his words were heartfelt rather than mere politeness, genuinely impressed by Jun Wu and Gu Qingqing.

Jun Wu, the heir apparent of Yunlan Sacred Land, was well-versed across various fields, not needing mastery but understanding, making him incredibly knowledgeable. Normally reserved, he would speak insightfully and respectfully during conversations, earning admiration.

Jun Wu intended to learn more about Artifact Refining from Helian Shen’s group, given they had backing from three master refiners, each exceedingly accomplished, surpassing Jun Wu in refinement prowess.

"Mr. Shen flatters me," Jun Wu replied with a slight shake of his head, a barely perceptible smile, speaking genially.

"It’s unfortunate that Mr. Jun must leave after the tournament; otherwise, I would relish discussing matters with you," Helian Shen enjoyed conversing with Jun Wu, feeling his insights beneficial to his refinement technique development, sensing prolonged interaction might unveil advancements for his technique!

"Mr. Shen is too kind; we will take our leave, wishing Mr. Shen safe travels," Jun Wu, having a favorable impression of Helian Shen, rarely spoke so much.
