My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 308 - 176: Discussing Marriage [Second Update]

Chapter 308: Chapter 176: Discussing Marriage [Second Update]

When Wen Guiyun and the others returned, they went to Gu Qingqing’s courtyard first. Upon seeing Gu Qingqing asleep, they were a bit worried. Wen Guiyun specifically checked her pulse to confirm that her injuries weren’t too severe, which relieved them somewhat.

He fed Gu Qingqing an elixir to restore her Spiritual Power and heal her wounds before standing up.

"Master, how is Geng Geng?" Si Lin and the others immediately asked with concern.

"It’s just a minor injury, not too serious. She’ll feel much better after taking medicine and getting some sleep." Wen Guiyun glanced at Gu Qingqing and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Si Lin and the others finally relaxed.

"That’s good, then let Geng Geng rest well, and we won’t disturb her." Yue Zhao glanced at Gu Qingqing’s still pale face and said in a low voice.

The others naturally had no objections and nodded one after another before leaving Gu Qingqing’s room one by one, leaving only Jun Wu to take care of her.

After leaving Gu Qingqing’s courtyard, Wen Guiyun told Si Lin and the others to go back first, saying there would be a grand banquet in the evening, and that they must attend. Si Lin and the others readily agreed and parted ways with Wen Guiyun.

Upon returning to his own courtyard, Wen Guiyun unexpectedly found Jun Yutian waiting at the door, and he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

"Having just experienced a great battle, why aren’t you resting? What are you doing here with me?" he asked as he walked.

"Naturally, it’s something important." Jun Yutian followed Wen Guiyun into the room and said matter-of-factly.

"Oh? What’s so important?" Wen Guiyun turned around, looking at Jun Yutian, unusually curious.

"Of course, it’s about my son and your disciple’s marriage. Now that we have killed the sect leaders of the four major Demon Path sects, the Demon Path is no longer a threat. If you agree to my son and your disciple’s marriage, wouldn’t it be a double joy?" Jun Yutian couldn’t help but praise his own cleverness, as he knew that Wen Guiyun must be in a good mood now, hence his visit.

Wen Guiyun’s face changed, and he looked at Jun Yutian with dangerous eyes, "Didn’t I say before that there’s no rush for this matter?"

He didn’t want Geng Geng to marry early; she’s still young.

"It’s not like I’m asking them to get married immediately, just to settle the engagement first. You know my son only likes Geng Geng, and Geng Geng also has a good impression of Ah Wu. Wouldn’t it be better for both to be engaged?" Seeing Wen Guiyun displeased, Jun Yutian quickly said.

Wen Guiyun paused his action of pouring water as he pondered, thinking of how Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu interacted. The two were indeed fond of each other, and Gu Qingqing seemed accustomed to Jun Wu’s presence, making him hesitate.

"Rest assured, it’s only an engagement. We can postpone the wedding date as much as possible. It’s just my son likes Geng Geng so much and is afraid she will be taken by someone else, he keeps urging me, I’m really helpless." Jun Yutian felt he was sacrificing too much for his son’s marriage; he had never been so humble before.

Wen Guiyun gave him a sideways glance, surprised at Jun Yutian’s humility; knowing how domineering Jun Yutian was, it was rare to see him make such concessions for Jun Wu’s marriage, showing that Jun Wu really liked Gu Qingqing, otherwise, Jun Yutian would never do this!

"I need to discuss this matter with Geng Geng and them, but most importantly, I need to ask Geng Geng’s opinion." Wen Guiyun hesitated for a moment and said to Jun Yutian.

Upon hearing this, Jun Yutian’s eyes lit up. He knew this was a good sign, knowing that last time Wen Guiyun outright rejected him without hesitation, but now he said he would discuss it with others, meaning there was hope.

"Right, we should ask for Geng Geng’s opinion." Jun Yutian quickly echoed.

Afterwards, Wen Guiyun and Jun Yutian chatted about how to deal with the remaining forces of the Demon Path before Jun Yutian took his leave, and Wen Guiyun sat alone in the room for a while before calling Si Lin and his five senior brothers over.

"Master, what do you need us for?" Rong Ye, upon entering Wen Guiyun’s room and seeing everyone was there, couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"I’ve called you here to discuss Jun Wu and Geng Geng’s matter. Today, Jun Yutian came to propose again; this isn’t his first time. As your master, I want to hear your opinions—what do you think about Geng Geng marrying Jun Wu?" Wen Guiyun poured himself a cup of tea, his gaze sweeping over Si Lin and the others as he asked.

Si Lin and the others were stunned, then looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Master, to be honest, if it were before, I would naturally disagree with this matter. But after spending time with Jun Wu, I consider myself quite observant, and Jun Wu is someone worth entrusting one’s life to. Furthermore, looking across the entire Sub-immortal Realm, only Jun Wu is worthy of Geng Geng among her peers. So I think Geng Geng marrying Jun Wu is acceptable." Rong Ye, who originally brought Gu Qingqing back to the sect, had the deepest affection for her and always treated her like a little sister. He had been dissatisfied with Jun Wu but was now objective about the matter.

His words left Si Lin and the others a bit surprised, but they shared similar thoughts with Rong Ye. If it had been in the past, they naturally would disagree with Gu Qingqing marrying Jun Wu, but now they felt Jun Wu was quite a suitable partner.

"Master, my opinion is quite similar to Rong Ye’s. Gu Qingqing really likes Jun Wu, so I believe she definitely wants to marry him. If we don’t agree, she might be hurt," Si Lin pursed his lips and said to Wen Guiyun.

"Indeed, Master, our opinions on this matter aren’t that important. What matters is who Gu Qingqing likes. As long as she likes him, he is suitable. If he treats her poorly in the future, aren’t we here to support her? I don’t believe he’d dare to bully her!" Nan Hua fanned himself, raising an eyebrow as he spoke.

"Third Senior Brother is right. The most important thing is who Gu Qingqing likes. If she agrees, then I also agree," Mu Chen glanced at Nan Hua and said.

"Saint Master Jun can mention this matter many times even after being initially refused by you, Master. It shows that Jun Wu really likes Gu Qingqing. Otherwise, given the Saint Master’s temperament, he might have given up immediately after being refused. Since Gu Qingqing also likes him, letting her marry him isn’t unacceptable," Yue Zhao glanced at Wen Guiyun and said slowly.

After the five of them shared their thoughts, they all focused their gaze on Wen Guiyun, waiting for him to speak.

Wen Guiyun did not immediately speak. Instead, he held his teacup, frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Once Gu Qingqing wakes up, I’ll ask her opinion. If she is willing, then I, as her master, will agree to the marriage and settle their engagement first. If she’s unwilling, then never mind."

In the end, he respected Gu Qingqing’s opinion. As long as Gu Qingqing agreed, he had no objections. If she was unwilling, he would not agree no matter what he said!

Si Lin and the others glanced at each other, nodding in agreement with Wen Guiyun’s decision.

...

In the evening, under the instruction of Wen Guiyun, Bai Guanlin, and Jun Yutian, they held a grand banquet at Yuqiu Pass. Almost everyone who survived the battle against the Demon Path attended. The place was lively until dawn.

The next morning, Gu Qingqing woke up to the crisp sound of birds. Upon seeing the slightly familiar bed canopy, she knew Jun Wu must have brought her back to his room. Remembering her previous injury, she quickly checked her condition, finding that her injuries had healed, the previously depleted Spiritual Power had been replenished, and she felt even more energized, almost as if she was on the brink of advancing to Half-step Immortal Rank!

After dressing, she got off the bed, intending to leave when the door opened from outside, and Jun Wu walked in with a basin of water.

"Geng Geng, you’re awake. Wash your face first." He set the basin down and said to Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing nodded, approached the basin, and with Jun Wu’s help, washed up. Then, he led her to the table, clapped his hands, and a maid brought in a tray with porridge and a few side dishes.

"I made porridge for you and prepared a few side dishes. Eat a bit first." Jun Wu gently pushed back her hair and said tenderly.

Gu Qingqing nodded and started eating breakfast once the porridge and side dishes were set.

"Ah Wu, have you eaten yet?" she asked Jun Wu after swallowing her porridge.

"Not yet," Jun Wu’s eyes twinkled as he replied.

"Then eat with me." Although she knew that at Jun Wu’s level, skipping meals wouldn’t matter, Gu Qingqing was used to three meals a day and wanted him to eat too.

Jun Wu looked slightly troubled at Gu Qingqing’s chopsticks, "I only had the maid bring over one pair of chopsticks."

Hearing this, Gu Qingqing paused, her gaze falling on the chopsticks in her hand. Understanding Jun Wu’s hint, her face flushed red, avoiding eye contact with him in her shyness, though her hands continued moving.

"If you don’t mind, you can, you can use mine." She offered him the chopsticks, turning her head shyly.

Seeing her blushing cheeks and flushed earlobes, Jun Wu’s eyes glinted with a hint of amusement, "How could I mind something that’s Gu Qingqing’s?"

He naturally took the chopsticks from her, picked up some food for himself, and smiled, "Hmm, quite tasty."

Gu Qingqing dared not look at Jun Wu. Hearing his words, her face grew even redder.

"Geng Geng, open your mouth." Jun Wu picked up a piece of food and brought it to her mouth, saying so.

Gu Qingqing instinctively opened her mouth, and Jun Wu fed her the food. Realizing what she had done, her face turned as red as a ripe tomato, incredibly alluring!
