My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 501 - 181: [First Update]

Si Lin nodded to Yue Zhao, glanced at the corpses on the ground, said nothing, and walked to Yue Zhao’s side.

"How are things going on Gu Qingqing’s side?" He glanced at the Lanting protected by the Array Plate and asked Yue Zhao.

"It should be almost done as well." Yue Zhao glanced outside and speculated.

Si Lin was about to speak when he saw Gu Qingqing and the others walking in from outside. His gaze swept over them, and seeing that none of them were injured, he sighed a bit in relief.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, are you okay?" As soon as Gu Qingqing saw Si Lin and Yue Zhao, she quickly ran over and, like Si Lin just did, scanned them with her eyes.

"We’re fine." Si Lin shook his head.

Yue Zhao also shook his head, indicating he was fine.

Seeing this, Gu Qingqing also breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried about Si Lin handling Qian Yishan alone, but now that she saw he was unharmed, she was reassured.

"All the guards outside have been dealt with, not one was left!" Nan Hua walked up to Si Lin and reported to him.

They had agreed before coming that with an organization like this, the people inside were unlikely to be innocent, so they hadn’t planned to spare anyone from the start. Therefore, while Si Lin and Yue Zhao went to Qian Yishan’s courtyard, Gu Qingqing and the others went to other places to find more people. Since it was nighttime, most of those people were in the house and were dealt with by Gu Qingqing and the others.

Upon hearing this, Si Lin nodded.

"Next, it’s this courtyard." Yue Zhao glanced around, curled his lips into a perfect smile, but his eyes were icy cold.

The others also glanced at the courtyard but said nothing.

Nan Hua put away the Array Plate protecting Lanting, and each of them set fire to the courtyard before leaving.

After Gu Qingqing and the others left, Nan Hua went up into the air alone. He held over a dozen blank talismans in his hand, which floated before him. As he moved, golden spiritual patterns appeared on the talismans, which shone with a golden light.

With a wave of Nan Hua’s hand, the talismans scattered and covered the entire courtyard.

"Rise!" With a low command from Nan Hua, a semi-transparent light shield enveloped the whole courtyard, meant to prevent the flames from affecting other areas.

The Array would disperse on its own once the flames extinguished.

Having finished their tasks, Gu Qingqing and her group hurried back to the inn.

Returning to her room, Gu Qingqing habitually took out a Luminous Pearl and placed it on the table. Then she noticed that someone had broken into her room. After thinking about it, she figured it was probably those who had been targeting them earlier, intending a night attack. But coincidentally, they had just gone out to deal with the Blood Spirit organization, missing each other.

Originally, if they hadn’t encountered Lanting, Gu Qingqing and the others were prepared to wait in the room for those people to come to them. Now that the opportunity had passed, she didn’t care and took out some talismans to place on the door and windows before going to bed with Jun Wushang.

Having slept late the night before, Gu Qingqing naturally woke up late the next day. Once she was ready, she and Jun Wu went downstairs, where Si Lin and the others were already having breakfast in the hall.

The hall was lively with people discussing something. As Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu sat down at Si Lin’s table, they heard a conversation from the next table.

"Did you hear? Last night, a mansion in the east part of town was burned down. Everyone inside is probably dead. I heard there’s an Array outside, so no one can get in. Who knows what they did to deserve such retaliation?"

"Of course, I’ve heard. And I also heard that Blood Spirit people lived in that mansion. They probably committed too many atrocities and got silenced for it. Besides that, there’s also a place in Dragon Taming Mountain that collapsed. People escaping from there said it was a Blood Spirit base."

"It turns out to be Blood Spirit’s territory. Isn’t the Blood Spirit leader Blood Demon at the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak level? How did he get wiped out?"

"Well, you said it yourself, just the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak. There’s still Immortal Emperor and Immortal Venerable above that level. He probably picked the wrong enemy and got silenced!"

"The town is in a panic now; those guys are scared stiff, worried they’ll be next."

"Isn’t that great? They’ll behave for a while, and life will be easier for us!"

"..."

Upon hearing that they were discussing the annihilation of Blood Spirit, Gu Qingqing felt indifferent. After all, the Blood Spirit people deserved it, and they were merely enacting divine retribution.

"Gu Qingqing, what do you plan to do with Chi Lan?" Yue Zhao put down his bowl and asked Gu Qingqing.

Since Chi Lan hadn’t woken up yet and wasn’t sitting with them, Yue Zhao decided to ask Gu Qingqing.

"Second Senior Brother, what do you think we should do with him? After all, we barely know him. Maybe we should ask where he’d like to go, give him some celestial coins and elixirs, and part ways, because we still have things to find." Although Gu Qingqing found Chi Lan rather pitiable, they weren’t on a leisure trip; they had a mission and naturally couldn’t bring Chi Lan along; it was better to separate.

"That’s fine. His talent seems promising. If he’s interested in becoming a disciple, he could join Langya Immortal Sect." Yue Zhao nodded, agreeing with Gu Qingqing.

"It would be great if he could join the Immortal Sect, but isn’t it not the time for the sect to take in disciples recently?" Nan Hua said after swallowing his porridge.

"Although it’s not the time for recruiting, there are special cases. He could start as an Outer Disciple and join the selection next time. With his talent, he should be able to join the sect." Being a disciple of Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, Gu Qingqing was familiar with the recruitment rules of Langya Immortal Sect and knew that Chi Lan could first join as an Outer Disciple.

"That’s good, then we can discuss it with him when he comes down." Nan Hua nodded, thinking this was fine.

The others naturally had no objections, and after Chi Lan came down, Yue Zhao told Chi Lan about it.

"I know I’m weak, but I still want to stay with you, benefactors. Can you take me with you? I can serve tea and water, just don’t leave me behind." Chi Lan looked at Gu Qingqing and the others cautiously, eyes reddened and pleading.

The youth with tear-filled eyes looked utterly pitiful. Although Gu Qingqing and the others frowned, they didn’t agree.

"Where we are going is extremely dangerous. Even we can’t guarantee our safety, so we can’t take you along into danger. Do you have any other thoughts?"
