My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 469 - 149: [Second Update]

The woman who appeared in front of Gu Qingqing and the others was beautiful, with a rather cool demeanor, completely different from Su Xi’s adorable charm. She looked at Su Xi with a cool expression; although she sounded displeased, her eyes showed a hint of amusement.

After entering the Secret Realm, Su Yan was most worried about her cousin Su Xi. She knew Su Xi’s personality too well. Because she was so well-protected, Su Xi’s nature was still a bit naive. This kind of personality was not a problem outside, as they were there to protect her, but in the Secret Realm, it was quite problematic.

Not to mention the dangers of the Secret Realm, the malicious human hearts—it was easy for Su Xi, being so straightforward and generous, to be taken advantage of or bullied by those with ill intentions. Su Yan was worried all the time and deeply regretted her initial softness, agreeing to let Su Xi enter the Secret Realm.

If something were to happen to Su Xi in the Secret Realm, she would carry the blame!

At this moment, seeing Su Xi standing prettily in front of her, clean from head to toe, and still with a naive appearance, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cousin, how come you’re here?" After a brief shock, Su Xi immediately ran happily to Su Yan’s side, curiously asking her.

"Of course, I heard you talking bad about me, which is why I came here on purpose," Su Yan said playfully, seeing Su Xi’s expression.

Upon hearing this, Su Xi’s expression froze briefly; then her gaze wandered, completely avoiding eye contact with Su Yan.

"I—I didn’t talk bad about you," she turned her head, explaining awkwardly, "Who in the family doesn’t know that cousin’s luck is bad? I was just stating the truth."

At that moment, Su Xi was almost righteous, completely different from her initial guilty and embarrassed demeanor.

"You ah, still righteous even when talking bad about me," Su Yan laughed in exasperation at Su Xi’s attitude, poking her nose.

"Oh," Su Xi hugged Su Yan’s arm coquettishly, "Cousin, we’ve just reconnected, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let me introduce my friends to you."

With that, Su Xi ran towards Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye, linking arms with Gu Qingqing. "This is Gu Qingqing, my newly made good friend. Let me tell you, she’s really nice and incredibly lucky."

Seeing Su Xi’s admiring gaze towards Gu Qingqing, Su Yan felt a bit jealous; Su Xi had only ever looked at her like that before.

She had already noticed Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye, recognizing their identities, but didn’t expect Su Xi to be walking with them. Moreover, Su Xi seemed to like Gu Qingqing very much, displaying an exuberance when mentioning Gu Qingqing that she had never seen before.

"Star Sect, Su Yan." Su Yan maintained her aloof demeanor when facing outsiders, nodding politely at Gu Qingqing.

"Langya Immortal Sect, Gu Qingqing." Gu Qingqing also nodded at Su Yan, stating her own identity.

"And this is Brother Rong Ye, Brother Rong is our Sect Master’s disciple and Gu Qingqing’s fifth senior brother. His talismans are very powerful." Su Xi was a bit more reserved when facing Rong Ye, given his seeming unapproachability, although he was gentle in front of Gu Qingqing, it was only in front of her.

"Su Yan pays respects to Brother Rong." Su Yan had seen Rong Ye before, but, like Su Xi, only from a distance. Upon closer contact, she understood why the Sect Master insisted on taking Rong Ye as a disciple.

Still, she hadn’t expected Rong Ye to be brother and sister with Gu Qingqing. Rong Ye’s aloof image in the Star Sect was deeply imprinted in people’s minds, and Su Yan couldn’t quite imagine Rong Ye walking together with Su Xi!

"It’s fine. Would you like to join us?" Rong Ye looked at Su Yan and asked.

Su Yan was actually not in a good state; it seemed she had just gone through a fierce battle. Her clothes were dirty, there were quite a few wounds, and her face looked a bit pale, indicating other untreated injuries.

"Is it okay?" Su Yan looked at Su Xi, then at Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye, ultimately deciding to follow her heart and asked.

"Of course." Gu Qingqing replied without hesitation.

If it were someone else, Gu Qingqing would likely disagree, but Su Yan was Su Xi’s cousin, and from the things Su Xi mentioned daily, it was clear Su Yan was not a scheming person, so Gu Qingqing naturally wouldn’t refuse to travel with her.

Thus, their group gained another member.

After walking together with Gu Qingqing and the others for a little over half an hour, Su Yan witnessed Gu Qingqing’s good fortune when they encountered a cluster of Snowy Kite Flowers.

The Snowy Kite Flower is a sixth-grade Spirit Flower, one of the main ingredients for refining Snow Soul Pill. The Snow Soul Pill is quite useful for cultivators in the Golden Immortal Realm; consuming it can increase a small realm. As cultivation grows higher, increasing it becomes harder, and elixirs capable of enhancing cultivation are challenging to refine; hence the Snow Soul Pill is widely circulated among cultivators. Such a large cluster of Snowy Kite Flowers could refine dozens of Snow Soul Pills, each valued at fifty thousand immortal coins, making the Snowy Kite Flower highly sought after in the Immortal Realm.

At this moment, Su Yan hadn’t realized the extent of Gu Qingqing’s luck.

After picking the Snowy Kite Flowers, they continued walking. Almost an hour later, they came across four or five stalks of Heavenly Star Grass, which made Su Xi extremely happy.

"Haha, your luck, Qingqing, is simply extraordinary. We practically stumbled upon Heavenly Star Grass; it’s amazing. By the time we leave the Secret Realm, we’ll all be rich." Su Xi smiled brightly at Gu Qingqing.

"It’s just about okay." Not wanting to appear too boastful, Gu Qingqing pursed her lips modestly.

Upon hearing this, Su Yan took another look at Gu Qingqing.

It felt saddening to say, she had been in the Secret Realm for seven or eight days, had encountered various spirit beasts but only a couple of herbs. She always deemed that normal, knowing that, even if the Secret Realm was rich in resources, it couldn’t be overflowing with treasures everywhere.

But now, following behind Gu Qingqing and the others for less than half a day, they had encountered two kinds of Immortal Flowers and Herbs, forcing Su Yan to pay serious attention.

"Cousin, let me tell you, Qingqing’s luck really is good. Since I’ve been walking with her, almost every day we encounter one to three kinds of herbs. This journey has yielded quite a harvest. If you don’t believe it, I’ll show you." Su Xi was proud mentioning Gu Qingqing, afraid Su Yan wouldn’t believe and quickly opened her Storage Bag to show Su Yan.

Su Yan was fairly clear about Su Xi’s situation; with her skills, she absolutely couldn’t have found so many treasures, which only proved Gu Qingqing was, indeed, as Su Xi said—extremely lucky!
