My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 80 - 32: Finally Able to Speak (First Update)
"It’s all your fault, if it weren’t for you, our Yi Family wouldn’t have perished! I’m going to kill you!" Yi Qin shouted as he charged at Na Yan, his expression maniacal.
Na Qi stood right beside Na Yan. Seeing Yi Qin’s madness, he naturally couldn’t let him approach his father. When Yi Qin rushed over, Na Qi directly kicked Yi Qin, and this kick wasn’t held back at all, making Yi Qin spit out a mouthful of blood.
But Na Qi didn’t stop there. He followed Yi Qin and punched him in the stomach. Yi Qin curled up in pain, only to be kicked again by Na Qi, this time in the leg, making him a ragdoll getting kicked around.
By the time Na Qi stopped, Yi Qin was beaten black and blue, curled up on the ground, wailing, unable to stand, clearly seriously injured.
On the other side, Si Lin swiftly dealt with the One-Eyed Giant before the Heavenly Dao noticed. After it fell, Rong Ye stepped forward in time and threw several Fire Talismans, burning its body to ashes.
Meanwhile, a chain-like rune flew out from its body and towards Gu Qingqing’s forehead.
Gu Qingqing closed her eyes, feeling those runes entering her body and going to the location of the seal. The energy accumulated previously made the seal as thin as paper but still incredibly strong, impossible to pierce through. She thought this time would be no different, but to her surprise, after the runes joined in, the seal melted away like snow disappearing!
A massive memory exploded in her mind, and she saw a flash of white before losing consciousness.
Yue Zhao stood beside Gu Qingqing, knowing she would rest for a while after absorbing those runes. Given how she had absorbed so many runes before without any change to the seal, they didn’t think much of it this time either.
Who would have known, just in the blink of an eye, Gu Qingqing would faint!
If it weren’t for Yue Zhao’s quick reflexes, she might have fallen directly to the ground.
"Qingqing!" The others were shocked by this and quickly gathered around Gu Qingqing.
"Mu Chen, quickly check on Qingqing." Yue Zhao picked up Gu Qingqing and called Mu Chen over.
The others hurriedly made way. Mu Chen came to Gu Qingqing’s side, placed his hand on her pulse, and his frown quickly relaxed.
"The pulse shows that Qingqing is fine; she just fainted," Mu Chen quickly reassured as everyone stared at him.
"Then why did she faint? She’s never done this before!" Rong Ye frowned at Gu Qingqing with concern and asked.
"It’s the seal!" Si Lin remained the calmest, suppressing his excitement and stated.
Upon hearing this, the others were initially stunned. Once they understood Si Lin’s meaning, they became excited, knowing that until Gu Qingqing woke up, their guesses were meaningless, so they had to hold back.
"Let’s take Qingqing back first. The Yi Family’s issue has long persisted and should be resolved directly." Yue Zhao glanced at Zhuo Tingqiu and said.
"Don’t worry, Brother Yue, I know what to do." Zhuo Tingqiu looked at Na Yan’s side, nodding.
Yue Zhao trusted Zhuo Tingqiu’s abilities and directly took Gu Qingqing back to the house, leaving Zhuo Tingqiu to handle the aftermath.
That night was thrilling for the people of Bi Qiu City. The next morning, they woke up to find that the sky of Bi Qiu City had changed.
The Yi Family, which had been domineering in Bi Qiu City for decades, disappeared overnight. Moreover, the City Lord Mansion announced Yi Qin’s crimes, stating that he had secretly summoned the Demon Clan and almost destroyed Bi Qiu City, leading to the Yi Family’s expulsion from the city, while the Na Family became the city’s first family!
...
When Gu Qingqing woke up, she found her room full of people; Si Lin and the others hadn’t returned to their rooms but stayed in hers.
Seeing the vaguely familiar bed canopy, she hesitated for a moment before sitting up. Si Lin and the others immediately gathered around her.
"Little Qingqing, how are you feeling?" Rong Ye, the most anxious one, asked carefully, watching Gu Qingqing.
Though the others didn’t speak, they all looked at Gu Qingqing with wide eyes, filled with expectation and tension.
Gu Qingqing felt a warmth rise in her heart. She looked at Rong Ye, then at Si Lin and the others, her mouth opening, "Bro...ther..."
Her voice, unlike the ethereal and mysterious tone heard before, now sounded fitting for a girl her age.
Because it was her first time speaking, she spoke very slowly, but Si Lin and the others weren’t bothered; instead, they were extremely excited.
"Oh my god, Little Qingqing can finally speak, fantastic!" Rong Ye jumped up in excitement, the joy surpassing even that of winning dozens of battles, making him almost want to cry.
"Very good." Si Lin patted Gu Qingqing’s head, his face unusually smiling in praise.
"Little Qingqing’s voice is so lovely." Yue Zhao, standing beside, also smiled broadly, praising without hesitation.
Nan Hua and Mu Chen also looked at Gu Qingqing with admiration and excitement.
Zhuo Tingqiu and Yun Ran were squeezed outside, unable to speak, but they also felt happy for Gu Qingqing.
They had known Gu Qingqing for so long, and Gu Qingqing’s inability to speak had almost become a mental burden for all of them. Now that Gu Qingqing could speak, how could they not be happy?
"Little Qingqing, can you call out once more?" Rong Ye, excited for a moment, looked at Gu Qingqing and asked expectantly.
Gu Qingqing touched her throat and shook her head.
[Brother, I still can’t completely control my voice. It will take some more time.] Gu Qingqing explained using sign language.
After fainting yesterday, many memories appeared in her mind, including the use of the Word Spirit Technique and how to control her Power of Word Spirit so she could speak like a normal person. She still couldn’t fully control the Power of Word Spirit, and just being able to speak was already her best effort!
Upon hearing this, although Rong Ye and the others were a bit disappointed, they could at least see hope now, which was much better than before, and that bit of disappointment was insignificant.
To celebrate Gu Qingqing being able to speak, Nan Hua, known for cooking the best food, made many delicacies to reward Gu Qingqing, who ate happily.
The matter with the Yi Family was resolved, and they received the punishment they deserved. Gu Qingqing also broke the seal, and finally, in Bi Qiu City, they had some gains. They stayed for one more day and set off early the next morning.
Heading south from Bi Qiu City, the second city they passed in the Great Tang Dynasty was Xingnan City, famous for producing a material for Artifact Refining called Nanli Stone. One of the five noble families, the Nalan Family, resided in Xingnan City.
It took Gu Qingqing and the others two days to reach Xingnan City. Unlike Bi Qiu City, Xingnan City was a large city, about twice the size of Bi Qiu City, with a much larger population and far more prosperity.
Here, the buildings were similarly mostly circular. Ordinary people lived in two-story houses, while wealthy families resided in estates.
Wen Guiyun also had an estate here, and he had hired someone to manage it. After they arrived in Luonan City, Yue Zhao led them to this estate. After showing the steward the documents and the key, they were welcomed into the estate.
This time, all of them stayed in a large three-story house. Gu Qingqing and her senior brothers lived on the third floor, Zhuo Tingqiu, Yun Ran, and Hua Shiyu stayed on the second floor, and the guards and such were accommodated on the first floor.
...
Spirit Hidden Mountain.
Ever since Gu Qingqing and the others left the mountain, Spirit Hidden Mountain, which had been lively for a while because of Gu Qingqing, became quiet once again. At first, Wen Guiyun felt a bit unaccustomed but eventually immersed himself in cultivation.
One day, the Mountain Protection Array of Spirit Hidden Mountain fluctuated slightly. Sensing it, Wen Guiyun awoke from his cultivation, and his Spiritual Sense instantly covered the entire Spirit Hidden Mountain. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw the visitor.
He stood up, went to the main peak hall, opened the hall doors, and waited for the visitor.
The visitor was a boy around ten years old, about 1.5 meters tall, dressed in a black robe with silver patterns, and had fair skin. Despite his young age, signs of handsome features could already be seen.
He looked around, his expression appearing a bit sentimental and nostalgic, and not knowing what he thought of, his lips curled slightly into a very gentle smile. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
He traversed the five peaks, excluding the main peak, without finding the person he wanted. Pressing his lips together, he finally arrived at the main peak and was a bit surprised to find the hall door wide open. Upon entering, he saw Wen Guiyun standing with a composed demeanor, waiting for him.
"Jun Wu greets Master Wen!" Indeed, the boy was Jun Wu, who left five years ago.
"Young Master Jun, there’s no need for such formality." Wen Guiyun flicked his hand, and a gentle force lifted Jun Wu up.
"Master Wen, may I ask where Gu Qingqing is at the moment?" Jun Wu didn’t hold back when facing Wen Guiyun, directly asking the question he most wanted to know.
"The Immortal Secret Realm has appeared. Gu Qingqing and her senior brothers have gone down the mountain for training." Wen Guiyun already knew Jun Wu was looking for Gu Qingqing when he saw him, so he wasn’t surprised by the question and answered directly.
Upon hearing this, Jun Wu fell silent for a moment.
"Does Master Wen know where they are right now?" He had come specifically for Gu Qingqing and naturally couldn’t give up.
Wen Guiyun raised an eyebrow, "Yue Zhao calculated that the Secret Realm would appear in the south. I just received news that they have already arrived in Xingnan City of the Great Tang Dynasty. If Young Master Jun wishes to pursue, you may head in that direction."
Knowing that Gu Qingqing had been thinking of Jun Wu, Wen Guiyun ultimately did not hide anything and informed Jun Wu of Gu Qingqing and the others’ whereabouts.
"Thank you, Master Wen. I will go after Gu Qingqing and the others. I will visit Master Wen another day. Goodbye!" Jun Wu didn’t want to waste any time upon receiving news of Gu Qingqing, so he bid farewell to Wen Guiyun.
Wen Guiyun paused for a moment, then simply waved his hand, allowing Jun Wu to leave.
Jun Wu bowed again, turned, and quickly left.
