My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 460 - 140: [First Update]

Suddenly being grabbed by Mu Xingqi, Song Xinrong almost threw Mu Xingqi’s hand away. Fortunately, she remembered her current persona and pretended to be startled, glancing at Mu Xingqi and shyly pulling her hand back.

Mu Xingqi was just too excited earlier. Seeing Song Xinrong seemed a bit scared, he quickly released her hand and looked at her apologetically.

"Junior Sister Song, don’t misunderstand, I was just too excited, I didn’t mean to take liberties with you." Mu Xingqi nervously watched Song Xinrong, fearing she would take him as a lecher and ignore him.

"I, I know," Song Xinrong glanced at Mu Xingqi, speaking softly, "Senior Brother Mu, I didn’t blame you, but you shouldn’t do this again."

Seeing Song Xinrong pityingly forgiving him, Mu Xingqi felt his heart melt completely. If he could, he would pull Song Xinrong into his arms and confess his feelings, letting her understand how much he liked her.

But he couldn’t yet, the Secret Realm was full of dangers, not the right time!

Thinking like this, Mu Xingqi restrained his hands and softly looked at Song Xinrong, "I understand, Junior Sister Song, I’ll be more careful."

Seeing the love in Mu Xingqi’s eyes, Song Xinrong nodded and then looked down bashfully, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.

The two rested here for a while, talked a bit, and then left.

After confirming they had gone far, Gu Qingqing and Su Xi dropped to the ground from the tree.

"Geng Geng, that girl called Song Xinrong just now, is she from your sect? She’s so cunning, earlier when my cousin and I were eating at the restaurant, we overheard her badmouthing you, saying you bullied her. Only those men would believe her, she’s just too wicked!" Su Xi had a very bad impression of Song Xinrong, even before knowing Gu Qingqing, she thought Song Xinrong was too scheming, badmouthing others behind their backs.

Now that she and Gu Qingqing were friends, she disliked Song Xinrong even more.

Thinking of how such a good person as Gu Qingqing was misunderstood because of Song Xinrong, Su Xi couldn’t help but feel indignant for Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing had heard about Song Xinrong badmouthing her behind her back, but she didn’t care. She had seen many people like Song Xinrong in the Sub-immortal Realm and Xuantian Continent and understood their mindset. If Gu Qingqing paid attention to her, Song Xinrong would definitely escalate, which would be too troublesome for Gu Qingqing.

Anyway, the people Song Xinrong drew in basically couldn’t reach Gu Qingqing, nor would they clash with her, at most like Mu Xingqi before, completely no match for her.

"Just ignore her. If she really harms me, I’ll deal with her. Don’t worry." Seeing Su Xi so indignant, she couldn’t help but find it amusing. She, the main person involved, wasn’t bothered, yet Su Xi was so concerned.

Seeing Gu Qingqing so calm, Su Xi realized she was being a bit too hasty and looked at Gu Qingqing a bit embarrassedly, "That’s right, Geng Geng, you don’t need to bother with such people. I don’t think she’s sincere with that man either. When he finds out he’s been deceived, she won’t end well."

"Mm." Gu Qingqing nodded, glancing in the direction Song Xinrong and Mu Xingqi left, frowning a little, "Only, we were planning to go that way next, now it seems we should take a different path."

Though not afraid of Song Xinrong, Gu Qingqing also disliked encountering her because it meant getting entangled in troubles. Since Song Xinrong and Mu Xingqi had gone that way, she naturally wouldn’t continue down that path.

"Indeed, it’s better not to walk the same path as those whose minds aren’t right." Su Xi agreed wholeheartedly and nodded.

Thus, the two chose a direction different from where Song Xinrong and Mu Xingqi had gone and left.

In the following half-day, the two encountered several Immortal Rank four or five grade Immortal Flowers and Herbs, reaping plentifully, but didn’t encounter anyone else, not even a few spirit beasts.

By nighttime, like the previous night, they found a tree hollow, and with the bedding and array plate provided by Gu Qingqing, they spent a comfortable night.

...

Nan Hua, after killing the four-tailed fire fox and picking the Red Flame Fruit, encountered four Peak of Taiyi True Immortal Realm spirit beasts but didn’t come across any Immortal Flowers and Herbs. By night, he found a cave to rest for the night and continued his journey the next day.

His luck was truly not great, as he hardly encountered any good treasures on his journey, but spirit beasts came in abundance. Moreover, the ones he encountered on the second day were mostly at the Golden Immortal Realm. If it weren’t for his improved mastery of Array after previous training sessions, despite only having a low-level Golden Immortal Realm cultivation, he could battle high-level Golden Immortal Realm spirit beasts and humans alike using Array techniques. Otherwise, he might not have managed.

Even so, Nan Hua couldn’t help but complain, feeling that this Secret Realm journey was quite arduous, and he began to miss the times when Gu Qingqing was by his side.

As Senior Brothers to Gu Qingqing, they had long noticed that Gu Qingqing’s luck was far better than others. When Gu Qingqing was present, they seemed to find the desired herbs or items more easily.

This was also the reason why, back on the Xuantian Continent, they all enjoyed going out to train with Gu Qingqing.

As evening approached, he was looking for a place to spend the night, only to coincidentally run into two disciples from the Bihai Heavenly Palace. Of course, he remained hidden, and the two Bihai Heavenly Palace disciples initially didn’t notice his presence.

Because of some earlier incidents, especially the matter where Mu Xingqi had confronted Gu Qingqing in front of the restaurant not too long ago, Nan Hua had a poor impression of the Bihai Heavenly Palace’s disciples, even feeling a bit of disdain, thinking most of them were brainless and peculiar.

Among these two disciples was Zhao Feihai, whom Song Xinrong knew. Back in Yuwan City, Zhao Feihai had basically become Song Xinrong’s lapdog, following her every command, deeply infatuated. Even now, in the Secret Realm, he hadn’t forgotten to worry about Song Xinrong.

"I wonder how Junior Sister Song is doing? Will she run into those unmanageable spirit beasts? Or maybe her Senior Sister? Her Senior Sister is so malicious, always bullying her. Will she suffer grievances?" Zhao Feihai now looked completely different from his usual profligate self, even a bit melancholy. When mentioning Song Xinrong’s world, there was a hint of disgust in his tone, yet full of worry for Song Xinrong.

"I don’t think so. You mentioned that the Secret Realm is vast, how could something that coincidental happen?" The disciple accompanying Zhao Feihai, Wang Xi, was usually one of his followers. Hearing Zhao Feihai’s words, a flicker of speechlessness crossed his eyes, but he still braced himself to comfort the Zhao Feihai, who seemed different from usual.

Wang Xi thought Song Xinrong was indeed very beautiful, but her means weren’t particularly clever. Unlike Zhao Feihai, Wang Xi had seen many women like Song Xinrong, some even more cunning. Therefore, he didn’t like Song Xinrong as much as he appeared to, thinking Song Xinrong was somewhat absurd, and Zhao Feihai, who was infatuated with her, was even more ridiculous.

"It better be so. Previously, when Junior Sister Song was bullied by her Senior Sister, I couldn’t help her. Once we’re out of the Secret Realm, I’ll go to our master and ask him to stand up for Junior Sister Song. We must make the Sect Master of the Langya Immortal Sect punish that woman surnamed Gu!" Zhao Feihai said viciously.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi couldn’t help but roll his eyes where Zhao Feihai couldn’t see.

He felt that since Zhao Feihai knew Song Xinrong, he had turned into a fool.

Setting aside whether what Song Xinrong said was true, Zhao Feihai’s master was just an elder in the Bihai Heavenly Palace. How could he dare manage the affairs of the Langya Immortal Sect’s Sect Master? Moreover, he had heard that the Senior Sister Gu defamed by Song Xinrong was in fact the beloved disciple of the Langya Immortal Sect’s Sect Master, and even the newly joined Immortal Venerable had a very close relationship with Gu Qingqing.

Moreover, in his view, Song Xinrong’s claims that Gu Qingqing bullied her were likely made up. Looking at how Gu Qingqing behaved, it was clear she didn’t pay any attention to Song Xinrong, so how could she possibly trouble Song Xinrong?

"Senior Brother Zhao, no matter how you see it, it’s an internal matter of the Langya Immortal Sect. If we rashly intervene, it might spark their displeasure. Now, with two Immortal Venerables in the Langya Immortal Sect, their status in the Immortal Realm is unique, not something we can provoke lightly. If we anger Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, even the elder can’t protect us!" Even though he didn’t really believe in the matter, Wang Xi was worried Zhao Feihai might foolishly report it to the elder. At worst, Zhao Feihai would just receive a scolding, but it certainly wouldn’t be good for him!

Zhao Feihai’s face stiffened. At this moment, clear-headedness finally returned as he realized the current strength of the Langya Immortal Sect, feeling frustrated that he couldn’t avenge Song Xinrong.

"Do you think Immortal Venerable Hao Lan might be senile? Accepting a woman with such a venomous heart as a disciple, instead of someone as kind-hearted as Junior Sister Song? Junior Sister Song is too pitiful." Zhao Feihai always considered Wang Xi as one of his own, so he openly complained in front of him.

Wang Xi just wanted to warn Zhao Feihai not to disparage Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, as the status was too high. If someone heard them, neither would come out without trouble.

Yet, unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Zhao Feihai was sent flying by a gust of palm wind.

"Who?" Wang Xi drew his sword and cautiously watched his surroundings.

The response was Zhao Feihai being kicked up into the air and a golden formation.

The Array directly immobilized Wang Xi, making it impossible for him to break free, as he helplessly watched from inside the Array while Zhao Feihai was thrashed about like a sandbag.

Nan Hua was furious at this moment; he immobilized Wang Xi because Wang Xi hadn’t spoken ill of Gu Qingqing, whereas Zhao Feihai wasn’t so lucky.
