My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 428 - 108: [Second Update]

Shangguan Yuan and the Wen Family maintained a traditional role division where the husband handled external affairs while the wife managed the household. Usually, matters like these were handled by the Wen Family, which was one reason he specifically invited them this time. After all, the Wen Family had been quite busy lately because of their children’s wedding. If it weren’t important, he certainly wouldn’t have asked them over.

"Do you know what Junior Brother Lou and the others prefer? Is there anything they particularly dislike?" The Wen Family was adept at handling such matters, but they still needed to inquire about Lou Mingyu and Gu Qingqing’s preferences to tailor their arrangements appropriately and avoid any faux pas.

Shangguan Yuan hadn’t had much interaction with Lou Mingyu and the others, so naturally, he wasn’t sure and could only shake his head.

"In that case, leave it to me. You don’t need to worry about it," Wen Family frowned slightly and then told Shangguan Yuan.

"Alright, I’ll leave it to you then, my dear." Shangguan Yuan patted on Wen’s hand that was placed on the table, then stood up, gave a couple more instructions, and left.

Just as he said, he was very confident in the Wen Family’s ability to handle matters.

And indeed, the Wen Family did not disappoint Shangguan Yuan. By the time they all had dinner together in the evening, the dishes prepared by the Wen Family were impressive.

Shangguan Yuan introduced Gu Qingqing and the other two to his family. Besides his soon-to-be-married son, he had another son and a daughter. The son getting married was the eldest, the second was also a son, and the daughter was the youngest, now six years old, resembling the Wen Family more; she was adorably cute and kept staring at Gu Qingqing during the meal.

"Hey, little one, why are you staring at me?" Gu Qingqing asked, smiling softly at the little girl beside her.

"Because you look pretty," the little girl, though a bit shy, clearly had taken a liking to Gu Qingqing. Her face flushed as she spoke, making her seem even more adorable.

Her words made Gu Qingqing very happy. After all, who doesn’t like being complimented, especially women who enjoy being told they’re beautiful. Besides, children usually speak the truth.

"Thank you, you’re also very cute," Gu Qingqing replied, smiling even brighter at her, finding the little girl quite interesting.

The little girl blushed even more, pleased yet embarrassed by Gu Qingqing’s compliment. She hid behind her older brother but couldn’t resist peeking out to look at Gu Qingqing, which was amusing to watch.

Amused by the little girl, Gu Qing decided on impulse. Reaching into her storage space, she brought out a small bell and handed it to the girl.

"You’re very cute; this is for you to play with." The small bell was a defense Immortal Artifact given to her by an elder when she took her vows. Although not exceptionally high in level, it was particularly beautiful, and Gu Qingqing had cherished it. Seeing the little girl so adorable, she couldn’t resist offering it as a gift.

The little girl obviously loved the small bell too, her eyes glued to it the moment Gu Qingqing revealed it. Hearing that Gu Qingqing intended to give it to her, she was initially overjoyed but then cautiously looked towards the Wen Family.

The Wen Family also turned their gaze this way. Given their acumen, they could easily spot that the small bell in Gu Qingqing’s hand was no ordinary item. It was evident Gu Qingqing, a disciple of Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, only dealt with the finest. Surprisingly, she wished to present such an item to their daughter. Seeing their daughter’s sparkling eyes, they hesitated briefly.

"Sister-in-law, this is a little gift from me to the young ones. The other two also have their own, so please don’t feel obliged." Noticing the Wen Family’s hesitation, Gu Qingqing promptly explained.

Saying this, she simultaneously retrieved two other items from her storage space—a seventh-rank Immortal dagger and a seventh-rank Immortal treasure sword. These treasures were sourced from Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s personal vault, prepared in advance for Gu Qingqing to hand over.

The original gift for the little girl was something else, but upon seeing her cuteness, Gu Qingqing had changed it to the bell.

Realizing each child was receiving a gift, the Wen Family no longer hesitated, nodding in approval towards the little girl.

The little girl’s eyes lit up immediately, turned, and happily accepted the small bell from Gu Qingqing’s hand, playing with it gleefully.

Gu Qingqing then handed the other two items to Shangguan Yuan’s other children, retracted her hands, and focused on eating.

Lou Mingyu wasn’t much of a talker, and while Gu Qingqing was chatty, she didn’t know Shangguan Yuan well, so there wasn’t much to discuss. The meal didn’t last particularly long, and after eating, the trio returned to their lodgings.

In the following days, Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu roamed around Luobei City while Lou Mingyu stayed at the residence and didn’t go out.

Soon enough, the day of Shangguan Fei’s wedding had arrived.

The weather was fortuitously perfect that day, neither too hot nor too cold. Eager to join the fun, Gu Qingqing dragged Jun Wu to the main hall early in the morning. They had a small breakfast before following the groom to escort the bride.

Weddings in Luobei City were rather traditional, with many customs differing from Gu Qingqing’s experience in the Sub-immortal Realm, offering her quite an eye-opener.

Once the couple had arrived in the main hall, they completed all ceremonial steps under everyone’s witness, and upon the ceremony’s completion, everyone shared their joy for the couple.

Just as the couple was about to retire to their room for the second half of the ceremony, the sky suddenly darkened.

This unusual scene caused the expressions of everyone present to shift, and as Gu Qingqing stood in the courtyard, she quickly looked up at the sky.

In the sky, a blood-red Array appeared suddenly, with a diameter of about a hundred meters and complex patterns on it. A single glance could make someone feel dizzy, and those with lower cultivation would faint if they looked longer, suffering injuries to their Divine Soul.

This Array was evidently very powerful yet carried an ominous aura, offering feelings of oppression and fear, foreboding that whatever was inside the Array was unsafe.

Gu Qingqing exchanged a tense glance with Jun Wu as they both raised their heads, fixating on the Array with great concern.

The blood-red lines on the Array lit up in an instant, emitting a blinding light. Gu Qingqing instinctively shielded her eyes to prevent injury.

Once the light dimmed, a terrifying pressure engulfed the area. Those with weaker cultivation fell to their knees instantly. Even Gu Qingqing and her companions felt their immortal power stalling under the pressure, as if burdened by a mountain, struggling to breathe.

Just as Lou Mingyu was getting ready to swing a sword at the Array, the Array suddenly split open, and a gigantic arm reached out from within.
