My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 487 - 167: [Second Update]

"I regained my memory thirteen years ago. Since then, I’ve traveled around the entire Immortal Realm but couldn’t find any trace of you. So, I opened an inn in Shuiyou City and waited for you there," Hua Yanxi briefly described her situation.

"Shuiyou City?" Wen Guiyun’s heart stirred. He immediately recalled how, before the Outer Heaven Demon arrived, the two of them had already planned to settle down in Shuiyou City because they both liked the atmosphere there.

"Yes," Hua Yanxi nodded slightly, "The atmosphere of Shuiyou City was so nice. It calmed me a lot, and not long ago, I even met a rather interesting little fellow. It was because of that little fellow that I left Shuiyou City. That little fellow happens to be a disciple of the Langya Immortal Sect."

Thinking of Gu Qingqing, Hua Yanxi couldn’t help but smile. She had a very good impression of Gu Qingqing, feeling that Gu Qingqing was truly delightful.

"Little fellow? A disciple of the Langya Immortal Sect?" As he listened to Hua Yanxi’s description, a light suddenly flashed in Wen Guiyun’s mind. "Could it be Qingqing you met? Her full name is Gu Qingqing."

"Yes, it’s her," Hua Yanxi nodded, then curiously looked at Wen Guiyun. "She seemed quite famous in the Langya Immortal Sect, didn’t she?"

"She is a disciple I took in while in the Lower Realm," Wen Guiyun explained, realizing that his reunion with Hua Yanxi was thanks to Gu Qingqing, made him smile. Once again, he felt taking Gu Qingqing as a disciple was indeed the right decision. "Qingqing is indeed a good child."

"So, she’s your disciple?" Hua Yanxi was a bit surprised, but then she understood. "No wonder I sometimes felt a sense of familiarity from her. Now it seems it was because of you."

Gu Qingqing was Wen Guiyun’s disciple, and even as an individual, it was inevitable that her mannerisms would resemble Wen Guiyun’s to some extent. Hua Yanxi, as Wen Guiyun’s partner, was naturally very familiar with him, which is why she felt so at ease with Gu Qingqing.

Wen Guiyun thought about it too. Indeed, Gu Qingqing did resemble him in some ways.

"It seems we should thank Qingqing this time. If it weren’t for her, you and I might have taken a while longer to reunite," Wen Guiyun joked with a smile.

"We should indeed thank her, but that girl doesn’t seem to lack anything," Hua Yanxi thought back to when she first met Gu Qingqing, she seemed to have been raised with great care, lacking nothing.

"No matter, as long as the sentiment is there," Wen Guiyun knew Gu Qingqing well enough to understand that she indeed lacked nothing.

Not to mention Wen Guiyun himself, even Immortal Venerable Hao Lan treated Gu Qingqing like a treasure after taking her as a disciple, providing her with whatever she needed. Moreover, Si Lin and the others utterly spoiled her; if circumstances allowed, they might even try to pluck the moon from the sky if she requested it!

So, as long as their affection was there, what they gave her hardly mattered!

"Is Little Qingqing in the sect now?" Hua Yanxi immediately asked.

"She and her senior brothers have gone out." Wen Guiyun shook his head and explained.

Hua Yanxi immediately showed some regret. "Looks like we have to wait for her to come back."

"Mm." Wen Guiyun nodded and embraced Hua Yanxi back into his arms.

...

Gu Qingqing was unaware that her master and Hua Yanxi had been previously romantically linked in Shuiyou City. She was traveling with Si Lin and the others for five days now. Along the way, they had only descended from the Flying Boat once when encountering the Ghost Clan, after which they continued flying in the sky. Of course, they also encountered some spirit beasts, but their cultivation was not high, and they easily dealt with them.

On the sixth day, they found a small town and descended again.

This small town was called Qingshi Town, and because it was quite close to the Northern Ice Field, the temperature here was not high. People with high cultivation could naturally use their cultivation to resist the cold, but those with low cultivation couldn’t, as it consumed a lot of immortal power. Therefore, you could see people wearing rather thick clothes.

With their level of cultivation, this bit of cold was nothing, so they were still in their previous clothes.

After leaving the Langya Immortal Sect, they changed out of their disciple robes into their own clothes.

Though the town was small, it was quite bustling, and most of the passing cultivators were above the Taiyi True Immortal Realm in cultivation.

Since entering the town, Gu Qingqing had felt a sense of unease, like there was a gaze full of malice fixed on her. Yet, when she looked around, she couldn’t find anything unusual. The people around her came and went, and no one seemed to be fixated on her, but that gaze was ever-present, making her frown and appear somewhat agitated.

"Qingqing, what’s wrong?" Jun Wu, who had always been by Gu Qingqing’s side, naturally noticed her unease and asked with concern.

Si Lin and the others, hearing Jun Wu’s words, immediately looked towards Gu Qingqing.

"Do any of you sense anything off?" Gu Qingqing glanced around and asked Jun Wu and the others in a low voice.

The group exchanged glances, looked around, then turned back to Gu Qingqing with somewhat confused shakes of their heads.

"There’s nothing off," Nan Hua said as he glanced around, then lowered his voice, "Qingqing, did you feel something wrong?"

"Since we entered here, I’ve felt something watching me, and it’s not with good intentions. But I can’t pinpoint the source of the gaze." Gu Qingqing frowned, quietly sharing her feelings.

Si Lin and the others didn’t have this sense, but Gu Qingqing would not speak lightly, indicating that the town’s surface peace was deceiving. Something hidden wanted to harm them!

"Everyone, stay alert. Since something here intends harm against us, we should leave quickly," Nan Hua advised before suggesting.

They had only descended to stretch their legs a bit because staying cooped up in the Flying Boat was tiresome. But since the town was unsafe, it was better to leave swiftly to avoid encountering something bad.

Gu Qingqing and her companions exchanged glances, agreeing with Nan Hua. While they wanted to relax, encountering something too formidable would be troublesome; better to leave before getting into trouble.

Thus, they abandoned their plan to spend the night in the town, sped up, and aimed to leave as quickly as possible. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The thing lurking in the dark seemed to sense their intention. Just as they walked a few dozen meters, everyone around them suddenly turned and surrounded them.
