My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 472 - 182: [First Update]

After dealing with a low-level Golden Immortal Realm White-striped Silver Tiger, Si Lin found a place to wash up and then sat by the stream to rest.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard footsteps. His first reaction was to jump onto a nearby tree to hide, but his ears twitched, recognizing the sound as somewhat familiar. He hesitated for a moment and decided to stay put.

The footsteps and voices grew closer. Si Lin turned his head and just saw Gu Qingqing, Rong Ye, Su Yan, and Su Xi walking over, his expression slightly moved.

On the other side, Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye were originally chatting. When their gaze landed on Si Lin not far away, both of them froze. After confirming that the person not far away was indeed Si Lin, they became somewhat excited.

"Senior brother, is it really you?" Gu Qingqing didn’t rush towards Si Lin immediately but hesitantly asked.

"Yes." Si Lin nodded and raised the hand holding the Dragon Capturing Sword.

Gu Qingqing also saw the Dragon Capturing Sword in Si Lin’s hand. There was only one Dragon Capturing Sword in the world, and Si Lin would never give his sword to someone else. The person in front of her was definitely Si Lin!

Realizing this, Gu Qingqing immediately ran towards Si Lin joyfully.

Her speed was fast. Too happy and eager, she even used her Step Technique, arriving in front of Si Lin in the blink of an eye, happily throwing herself into Si Lin’s arms.

"Senior brother, I missed you so much." Gu Qingqing hugged Si Lin, rubbing her head against his chest with actions full of reliance.

Si Lin didn’t speak, just like before, gently patting Gu Qingqing’s head, his expression extremely gentle.

"Senior brother." Rong Ye also looked at Si Lin with excitement.

"Yes." Si Lin nodded towards Rong Ye and patted Gu Qingqing’s back.

Gu Qingqing calmed down quickly, pulled out from Si Lin’s arms, and held onto his sleeve.

"Senior brother, how have you been lately? Did you get hurt anywhere?" Gu Qingqing examined Si Lin and asked concernedly.

"I’m fine, no injuries. How about you?" Si Lin was glad that he had treated his wounds properly each time, so when he met Gu Qingqing, there were no injuries on him, otherwise Gu Qingqing would definitely be upset.

"I’m fine too. I met up with fifth senior brother quite early, and as you know, I have good luck, so nothing much happened." Gu Qingqing had already examined Si Lin up and down, finding no injuries or traces of medicinal smell on him, indicating that Si Lin really was unhurt, which made her very satisfied. Then she shared her own situation.

While Gu Qingqing was examining Si Lin, Si Lin was also examining Gu Qingqing. Similarly, he found no injuries on her, feeling relieved in his heart. However, "Geng Geng, your cultivation?"

He discovered that Gu Qingqing’s cultivation had increased, and the speed of improvement seemed rather fast.

"I am now at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Realm. I had a little fortuitous encounter, which enhanced my cultivation quite a bit." Gu Qingqing’s eyes twinkled and she smiled as she spoke to Si Lin.

Regarding the situation with the Qilin Tree, Gu Qingqing temporarily couldn’t tell Si Lin, so she vaguely glossed over it.

Having known Gu Qingqing for many years, Si Lin was quite clear about her little habits and naturally detected that she was hiding something. However, he had always respected her wishes, and since she didn’t want to talk about it, he wouldn’t force her.

"Improving your cultivation is a good thing, but be careful." He couldn’t help but remind her.

Gu Qingqing certainly wouldn’t go against Si Lin. Knowing he had her best interests at heart, she quickly nodded.

"Senior brother, let me introduce you. These are disciples of the Star Palace: this is Su Yan, and this is Su Yan’s cousin, Su Xi." Gu Qingqing shifted focus, noticing Su Xi and Su Yan standing quietly and waiting for them to catch up and quickly introduced them to Si Lin. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Hello!" Si Lin glanced at Gu Qingqing, seeing the unwavering smile on her lips, and greeted the two graciously.

Su Yan and Su Xi greeted Si Lin in return, noting Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye, and internally marveled at how impressive Gu Qingqing’s senior brothers were, all so dashingly handsome.

Finally reunited, Gu Qingqing had a lot to say to Si Lin. Holding onto Si Lin’s arm, she chattered away, while Si Lin, with a doting look, listened attentively to everything she said, offering sincere advice when she asked.

Rong Ye occasionally interjected a few words, while Su Yan and Su Xi, although unable to join in, were able to chat among themselves.

The five of them didn’t mention continuing forward but rather sat by the creek, chatting for an hour and a half.

"Geng Geng’s luck is indeed good." Si Lin commented after hearing about Gu Qingqing’s story and seeing what she’d gained in that time.

"Senior brother, if you stick with me, your luck will improve too." Gu Qingqing pulled on Si Lin’s sleeve, saying with a cheerful smile.

Si Lin, aware of Gu Qingqing’s incredible luck, didn’t refuse and nodded.

So, from four people, Gu Qingqing and the others became a group of five.

...

Jun Wu and Nan Hua encountered several groups of other sects and Langya Immortal Sect disciples on the way, but they tried to avoid contact with them and continued searching for traces of Gu Qingqing and the others.

"It feels like we’ve covered half the forest, yet still no news of Geng Geng and the others. It’s really frustrating." Nan Hua said, sitting on a rock, flipping his fan with a somewhat frustrated look.

Since entering the Secret Realm, they hadn’t stopped looking for Gu Qingqing and the others. It seemed like they had traversed half the forest, encountering many teams on the way, yet none included Gu Qingqing. Both Nan Hua and Jun Wu felt extremely frustrated.

"This forest is only so big. As long as Geng Geng and the others are still here, we’re bound to find them!" Jun Wu said earnestly, looking at the stream.

Nan Hua nodded, agreeing with Jun Wu’s reasoning. Of course, he understood, he just didn’t want to dwell on it.

After resting for a bit, they stood up, ready to continue on their journey. Suddenly, Jun Wu touched his forehead, frowning, looking quite in pain.

"Jun Wu, are you okay?" Nan Hua said, taking quick steps to Jun Wu’s side, asking with concern.

"I’m fine." Jun Wu shook his head, still looking unwell. "My head suddenly hurts, and there’s a voice telling me to head south."

"Why go south?" Nan Hua was puzzled. "Is there something there? Plus, how can there be a voice talking in your head? Are you alright?"
