My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 450 - 130: [First Update]
"Since you say it’s a misunderstanding, then go explain it to him properly on the side. Now clear the way; we need to pass through." Gu Qingqing, not wanting to argue with Song Xinrong, looked at her and spoke indifferently.
Song Xinrong glanced at the people around and realized that making a fuss would only be detrimental to her. She could only pull Mu Xingqi to the side and watch Gu Qingqing and the others walk past her.
"Junior Sister Song, why are you pulling me? They treated you this way, why won’t you let me seek justice for you?" Mu Xingqi, being tugged by Song Xinrong, did not dare to use force and could only look at her in confusion.
"Senior Brother Mu, I’m sorry. It’s because I’m too weak. I just... just don’t want Senior Sister Gu and the others to dislike me." Song Xinrong lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly, and her shoulders quivered, looking very upset.
Seeing Song Xinrong like this, the anger that had just risen in Mu Xingqi instantly disappeared, leaving only a slow-growing heartache. He even regretted speaking so loudly to Song Xinrong, feeling that he shouldn’t have done so. Knowing that Junior Sister Song was such a kind person, he still got angry with her due to those bad people, which was utterly unforgivable.
"Junior Sister Song, d-don’t cry. I won’t look for them anymore. How about I take you somewhere else to stroll around?" Pitifully, he had never coaxed a girl before, let alone someone he liked so much standing in front of him. He had no idea what to do; he thought of pulling Song Xinrong into his arms to comfort her, but feared she would reject him, leaving him not knowing where to place his hands.
"Senior Brother Mu, you’re not angry with me?" Song Xinrong raised her head, her eyes red like a little deer, looking up at Mu Xingqi nervously and cautiously, as if worried he might be angry.
Seeing Song Xinrong like that, how could Mu Xingqi still be angry? He just felt an immense heartache.
"I’m not angry," he shook his head hastily upon seeing Song Xinrong’s smile, a beauty that struck his heart, "Junior Sister Song, don’t be upset. Let me take you somewhere else to relax."
He had already decided in his heart to seek justice for Song Xinrong alone. Song Xinrong was so kind; if he told her, she would surely worry and speak well of her fellow sect members, which he had already observed. Those people had no sense of camaraderie towards Junior Sister Song and were not worthy of her kindness!
"Alright." Song Xinrong understood the principle of moderation and went along with Mu Xingqi, leaving together.
...
"I always thought that girl surnamed Song wasn’t right in the head, but now I see that she’s not only not in the right mind, but she’s also way too full of herself. Look at that fool’s appearance earlier; he must’ve been incited by her, captivated by her beauty and trying to show off in front of her. I don’t even know what kind of feng shui blessing Bihai Heavenly Palace receives, drawing disciples who seem not too bright." Seeing Mu Xingqi reminded Nan Hua of another disciple from Bihai Heavenly Palace he encountered in the Secret Realm before, leaving him speechless.
"It seems she’s always been jealous of Geng Geng, which is why she tarnishes Geng Geng in front of others. We should be cautious of such people; if she dares harm Geng Geng later, we should find a way to deal with it and eliminate future troubles." Yue Zhao’s smile remained, though his tone was filled with killing intent.
"Exactly," Si Lin nodded in agreement, "Geng Geng, stay away from her usually; if she dares harm you, strike back without hesitation." He advised worriedly.
In their eyes, Gu Qingqing’s safety was paramount. Song Xinrong harbored enmity toward Gu Qingqing, with a possible intent to harm her. If she dared act, they would show no mercy.
"I know, Senior Brother. You guys don’t have to worry. I’m not a child anymore and can take care of myself. Besides, aren’t you all here with me?" Gu Qingqing nodded, entwining her arm with Jun Wu’s, glancing at Si Lin and the others with a playful yet proud demeanor.
Si Lin and the others exchanged glances, agreeing. After all, Gu Qingqing spent most of her time with them, and the possibility of encountering Song Xinrong alone was slim. Besides, Song Xinrong’s cultivation wasn’t as high as Gu Qingqing’s; she wasn’t a match for Gu Qingqing. If she wanted to strike at Gu Qingqing, she’d have to find others, but not everyone was as brainless as Mu Xingqi to dare offend Gu Qingqing!
"Where on earth does this woman get the confidence to think everyone has to like her? In terms of looks, let alone Geng Geng, there are plenty of people in the Star Sect who are more attractive than her!" Rong Ye hadn’t interacted much with Song Xinrong before, but he’d seen many girls like her. Just one look and he could guess her thoughts, feeling speechless at such self-satisfied people.
"Why bother with her? If she dares to strike at Geng Geng, just cut her down." Jun Wu was very displeased with Song Xinrong’s repeated attempts to smear Gu Qingqing, his tone indifferent.
Hearing her words, Rong Ye gave a thumbs up.
"Impressive," Rong Ye praised Jun Wu, "Exactly, if she really dares to act, just cut her down. Why consider so much?"
Si Lin and the others exchanged looks and nodded in agreement with Jun Wu and Rong Ye’s suggestions.
As they talked, they had already reached the restaurant entrance. The scene not far away earlier had been witnessed by many at the restaurant, who then looked covertly at Gu Qingqing’s group, whispering among themselves. Had Gu Qingqing and her companions not already been accustomed to being observed by others, they might have felt very uncomfortable at that moment.
Although they had run into Song Xinrong earlier, which was a bit disgusting, it didn’t affect Gu Qingqing and the others’ mood. They still enjoyed a lovely meal before returning to the inn.
In the following days, they didn’t see Song Xinrong again, and Gu Qingqing and her companions directly put her out of their minds.
They stayed in Yuwan City for nine days, and on the morning of the tenth day, a golden gate appeared over the Red Cloud Sea. The gate was about three meters high and looked very exquisite and beautiful. At the same time, the concentration of Immortal Qi around the Red Cloud Sea was much higher than before.
Those who wanted to enter the Secret Realm gathered on the shore, watching the gate in mid-air.
"After the gate opens, we can enter the Lingyun Secret Realm," Rong Ye said as he looked at the gate in mid-air, speaking to the others.
Hearing this, Gu Qingqing and the others nodded and then looked at the gate in mid-air.
It wasn’t until noon that a golden light flashed, and the gate slowly opened. Through the gate, they could catch a glimpse of a corner of the Secret Realm. The inside wasn’t very clear, but they could feel a much denser Immortal Qi than outside.
Just this alone made the Secret Realm worth a visit for them.
"The Secret Realm usually opens for one month. Be careful when you go inside and don’t forget you all belong to the same sect!" Peak Master Rong’s words echoed in the ears of the Langya Immortal Sect disciples, making them unconsciously tense, "Alright, now go into the Secret Realm!"
Gu Qingqing and her group did not go in first. The first to enter were the Loose Cultivators. Since the Secret Realm opened for a limited time, they couldn’t afford to waste time. Seeing that the others present weren’t entering, they took the lead and walked through the golden gate.
A ripple-like light passed over their bodies, and then their figures disappeared at the door, completely invisible from the outside.
After waiting for about half an hour, Gu Qingqing and the rest entered the Secret Realm together.
As she passed through the gate, Gu Qingqing felt as if something lightly touched her, and then she felt the world spinning. She instinctively closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was beside a waterfall.
Beside the waterfall was a deep pool, where a small deer was drinking water. When it saw Gu Qingqing appear out of nowhere, it was stunned for a moment, blinked, and then locked eyes with Gu Qingqing. As if suddenly awakened, it turned and ran deep into the forest, disappearing in a blink.
Gu Qingqing was startled by the deer’s reaction. Once she realized the deer ran away because it was scared of her, she felt both amused and helpless.
"Little Yu, do you think I am that scary?" After entering the Secret Realm, Gu Qingqing released Little Yu, stroked its fur to feel more at ease, and asked with a hint of amusement.
"Geng Geng is certainly not scary. Geng Geng is the best person in the world." The boy’s voice came from Little Yu’s mouth. It felt very comfortable being stroked by Gu Qingqing, rolled in her arms, and said with great satisfaction.
"That’s more like it." Gu Qingqing’s lips lifted slightly, very satisfied with Little Yu’s answer.
Little Yu had formed a contract with her, and whenever either party’s cultivation improved, so would the other’s. Now, Little Yu’s cultivation was even higher than hers, reaching the Golden Immortal Middle Stage.
Previously, Little Yu stayed in its own space to cultivate, but upon learning that Gu Qingqing was entering the Secret Realm, it specifically came out to gain more battle experience, hoping to cultivate faster. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"According to Master, this Secret Realm should be large. We don’t know where we are, nor where Senior Brother is. Let’s find a direction and leave here first," she looked around and then spoke to Little Yu, "Little Yu, come, you choose a direction."
As everything here was unfamiliar to her, any direction would be the same. So she allowed Little Yu to make the choice.
Little Yu hesitated a moment with its chubby paw before finally pointing straight ahead, "Let’s go in this direction."
"Alright, let’s set off." Gu Qingqing naturally had no objections, holding Little Yu as they headed straight forward.
...
When Jun Wu opened his eyes, he found himself in mid-air, rapidly falling. He quickly circulated his immortal power to steady himself and stop descending. At the same time, he looked around to figure out where he was.
However, as soon as he glanced around, a roar came from below. He looked down to see a mature Fire Cloud Beast glaring at him with eyes like a predator.
