My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 497 - 177: [Second Update]

When he mentioned the last point, the boy’s voice was very light. He pursed his lips and his eyes flickered, seeming a bit embarrassed.

The room fell silent for a moment, and a trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of Gu Qingqing and the others.

"By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, what’s your name?" Yue Zhao broke the silence in the room, softly asking the boy beside him.

The boy was startled for a moment, "I, my surname is Chi, and my name is Lanting."

"Chi Lanting, it’s a nice name. It seems your parents must have had high expectations for you." Yue Zhao softly recited the name Chi Lan Ting, speaking with a sense of admiration.

This should have been a compliment, but who knew it would bring tears to Chi Lan Ting’s eyes, his tears swirling in his eyes, "When I was captured, my parents died protecting me!"

He lowered his head, his voice choked with emotion, his body trembling slightly, and his shoulders heaving as he appeared very sorrowful.

Yue Zhao paused for a moment, then hesitantly reached out and patted Chi Lan Ting on the shoulder. Feeling Chi Lan Ting’s body shake for a moment, Yue Zhao halted his actions, then gently patted again.

"My condolences!" he whispered, "Were the ones who killed your parents the same people who captured you?"

"Yes!" Chi Lan Ting still kept his head down, sobbing quietly.

Upon hearing this, Si Lin and the others were filled with anger and loathed those human traffickers they had not yet met.

"Rest assured, we will definitely deal with those traffickers and avenge your parents!" Gu Qingqing released Jun Wu’s hand, looked at Chi Lan Ting, who seemed pitiful, and promised.

"That’s right, those beasts should be minced into pieces, we will definitely keep our word!" Nan Hua put away his fan, speaking with equal fury.

It had been a long time since he had felt this kind of anger. He was not inherently kind-hearted, and he had killed before, but he could guarantee that he only killed those who deserved it and had never killed an innocent person.

But those traffickers were different. Without even seeing their acts, it was imaginable how abominable and cruel they were. There was no need to show any mercy towards such people!

Although the others did not speak, their thoughts were the same as Gu Qingqing and Nan Hua. They had all decided that when they encountered those traffickers, they would not show any mercy!

Chi Lan Ting quickly raised his head, glanced at Gu Qingqing, and then at the others. Seeing them filled with righteous indignation, his eyes immediately shone brightly.

He had just seen Nan Hua’s array, which was very powerful, making a living person like him disappear in front of others without being discovered, indicating that Nan Hua’s cultivation was not low. Those with him, like Gu Qingqing and the others, should also have considerable cultivation.

The main thing was, he noticed that after he mentioned the cultivation level of the leader of that organization, Gu Qingqing and the others visibly relaxed, proving they were not afraid of that organization’s people.

He naturally hoped that Gu Qingqing and the others could defeat those people from the organization, so that the captured people could also be rescued.

"I’ll guide you. Even though I was in a hurry when I escaped, I’ve had a good memory since I was young, and I remembered the way I came out." Trying to make himself seem more useful, Chi Lan Ting quickly said.

"Alright, then thank you." Yue Zhao’s eyes flashed, his smile still gentle as he softly spoke to Chi Lan Ting.

Chi Lan Ting quickly waved his hand, indicating it was no trouble.

"When do we head up the mountain?" Gu Qingqing asked Si Lin.

"I doubt tonight will be peaceful, so let’s head up the mountain tonight. The sooner we settle this, the sooner we can rest." Si Lin thought for a moment, then said.

Although they had just showcased some skill outside, which would definitely intimidate those with ill intentions towards them, the forces in Dragon Taming Town were very complex. Surely, some factions, relying on those with higher cultivation backing them, would take action against them. Instead of wasting time dealing with those people, it would be better to head to the traffickers’ base as soon as possible, which would also reduce the suffering for those who were captured!

No one had any objections to Si Lin’s decision. Their anger at the human traffickers was at its peak, and they couldn’t wait to deal with them immediately. Waiting was not an option!

Thus, after a brief rest, Mu Chen applied medicine to Chi Lan Ting’s wounds. The medicine he carried was top-grade, and although Chi Lan Ting’s injuries looked severe, they healed and scabbed over shortly after application. It seemed the scabs would fall off soon, fully healing.

It was Chi Lan Ting’s first time seeing medicine so effective, leaving him very happy and more trusting of Gu Qingqing and the others.

About an hour passed, and it was deep into the night. Dragon Taming Town had quieted considerably. Gu Qingqing and the others finally left the inn with Chi Lan Ting, departing the town, and heading towards Dragon Taming Mountain.

The location of the cave where Chi Lan Ting was held wasn’t too deep. Although it was nighttime, and they couldn’t see the surroundings clearly, making the search difficult, it took about half an hour to find the place.

Chi Lan Ting had mentioned earlier that there were many people guarding outside the cave. Although they saw no one from a distance, Gu Qingqing and the others didn’t approach rashly.

Their cultivation was higher than those people, so they naturally sensed something was off at the entrance and exchanged glances, spreading out.

Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu followed the aura to a guard. Jun Wu reached out, and silver light flew from his hand, circled the guard, and the guard silently fell to the ground.

Soon after, the two continued searching for traces of the guards.

On the other side, Nan Hua and Mu Chen each dealt with a guard. Si Lin’s Dragon Capturing Sword silently killed quite a few guards. Yue Zhao and Chi Lan Ting stood in place, Yue Zhao protecting Chi Lan Ting without going to kill the guards.

Soon, Gu Qingqing and the others returned to them.

"Alright, the guards outside have been dealt with, let’s head in now." Nan Hua shook his fan, threw an array around Chi Lan Ting, encircling him, "As long as you stay within this circle, nobody outside can see you or harm you immediately. Just remember not to step out of the array."

With Chi Lan Ting’s cultivation, entering the cave would be impossible, and having Yue Zhao stay outside would be a waste. So Nan Hua gave Chi Lan Ting an array.

Chi Lan Ting was sensible, not insisting on going in, instead nodding and obediently staying inside the array.

"Alright, let’s go in." Si Lin waved his hand, leading the way into the cave first.

Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu quickly followed Si Lin’s steps, one by one entering the cave.
