My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 309 - 177: I Agree [Update 3]

Seeing Gu Qingqing’s shy appearance, Jun Wu rarely let out a low chuckle. His voice was rather deep, and now because he was laughing, it sounded even more charming to Gu Qingqing’s ears, making her cheeks even redder.

"Geng Geng," Jun Wu gently called to Gu Qingqing, putting down his chopsticks.

"Hmm?" Gu Qingqing instinctively turned her head to look at Jun Wu.

Jun Wu suddenly leaned forward, and before Gu Qingqing could react, he had already kissed her lips. Gu Qingqing could only passively endure it, unable to help but close her eyes.

Jun Wu’s kissing skills had matured a lot compared to before. In comparison, Gu Qingqing had hardly made any progress, being kissed into a complete disarray, her body softening. If Jun Wu hadn’t been holding her, she would have slid off the chair.

Only when she felt like she was about to suffocate did Jun Wu let her go.

Her eyes were now glistening with moisture, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red. Her alluring lips were slightly swollen, and because she was panting, her mouth was slightly open, revealing her white teeth and pink tongue. She couldn’t see herself, so she naturally didn’t know how enticing she looked at this moment.

Jun Wu glanced at her, and his gaze darkened, his throat tightening. Without thinking, he pressed down again to kiss her lips once more.

This time the kiss was much gentler compared to just now, yet it was even more intoxicating. Gu Qingqing’s body, still not fully recovered, became even softer, collapsing into Jun Wu’s arms.

After a long while, Jun Wu released Gu Qingqing again, holding her in his arms, not daring to look at her face for fear that he might not be able to resist doing something that would hurt her. At the same time, he took this opportunity to calm the excitement within him.

And Gu Qingqing, leaning against Jun Wu’s chest, breathed lightly, thinking in her heart that Jun Wu’s kissing skills were indeed getting better and better. She didn’t dislike it at all; in fact, she kind of liked it. Indeed, she had changed!

Once both had calmed their emotions, Jun Wu let go of Gu Qingqing, fed her a bowl of porridge, and then took her outside.

...

At this moment, in Wen Guiyun’s study, Wen Guiyun, Bai Guanlin, and Jun Yutian were there, discussing yesterday’s events.

When Gong Tianhai was about to self-destruct in Wen Guiyun’s arms, that brief pause did not go unnoticed. Both Bai Guanlin and Jun Yutian sensed it and heard that mysterious and ethereal voice. They came today to figure out that matter.

"Master Wen, I have no ill intentions towards your disciple, I’m just curious whether she knows the legendary Word Spirit Technique?" Bai Guanlin put down his teacup, stopped beating around the bush, and directly asked Wen Guiyun.

Wen Guiyun’s eyes flickered as he looked at Bai Guanlin and Jun Yutian. "Yes, Geng Geng does indeed know the Word Spirit Technique; it’s her talent."

Initially, he didn’t want Gu Qingqing to expose her Power of Word Spirit because he was afraid that her low cultivation would make her vulnerable to others’ harm. But now, Gu Qingqing’s cultivation was not weak, and Jun Wu liked her very much, so they were practically allies with Yunlan Sacred Land. The only thing to watch out for was the White Tiger Sacred Land, which was also a part of the Three Holy Lands, but Wen Guiyun was confident he could protect Gu Qingqing. Furthermore, many people saw Gu Qingqing speak yesterday, and there’s no point in hiding it anymore, so he might as well admit it.

Hearing this, both Jun Yutian and Bai Guanlin were a bit surprised. Although Jun Yutian was Jun Wu’s father, Jun Wu knew that Gu Qingqing’s ability to use Word Spirit Technique was confidential and couldn’t be disclosed to others, so he hadn’t mentioned it in front of Jun Yutian, leaving Jun Yutian in the dark until now.

"It’s really the legendary Word Spirit Technique," Bai Guanlin’s eyes flickered, looking at Wen Guiyun with sudden envy. "Master Wen sure is lucky; every disciple you’ve taken is a dragon among men, and now you even have someone who knows the legendary Word Spirit Technique!"

Bai Guanlin had always envied Wen Guiyun for taking in disciples like Si Lin because each one had strong talents and excelled in their respective difficult fields. It’s believed that there aren’t many Sect Masters in the Sub-immortal Realm who do not envy Wen Guiyun.

Now that he knew Wen Guiyun had taken a disciple who knew the Word Spirit Technique, Bai Guanlin couldn’t help but feel incredibly envious, almost turning green with jealousy.

"I do think I’m lucky." Facing Bai Guanlin’s praise, Wen Guiyun accepted it without any modesty.

For his thick-skinned response, Bai Guanlin’s expression froze for a moment, while Jun Yutian rolled his eyes at him without reservation.

"You just keep showing off, haven’t you heard that you can’t be too arrogant, or you’ll get beaten up?" Jun Yutian ground his teeth, saying to Wen Guiyun.

"Oh, someone has to be able to beat me first!" Wen Guiyun glanced at Jun Yutian, responding lightly.

His response directly infuriated Jun Yutian, who gritted his teeth. If it were someone else daring to speak to him like that, he would have already hit them. The problem was that he couldn’t beat Wen Guiyun, so he had to endure it, which made him feel extremely aggrieved.

"Many people saw it this time, so I’m not hiding it anymore. But I don’t want Geng Geng’s matters to be widely publicized, so I hope the two Saint Masters can help," Wen Guiyun, seeing the situation, thanked the two with a hand gesture.

Bai Guanlin and Jun Yutian exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat satisfied.

"No problem, Geng Geng is eventually going to be the Holy Son’s Wife of our Yunlan Sacred Land. We’re all one family, so I definitely wouldn’t harm Geng Geng," Jun Yutian assured with a wave of his hand.

"Rest assured, Master Wen, I’m not the type of person to do that," Bai Guanlin said with a smile, glancing at Jun Yutian.

"Thank you, two Saint Masters," Wen Guiyun said, conveniently ignoring the first half of Jun Yutian’s sentence.

Both Jun Yutian and Bai Guanlin waved their hands before the three of them moved on from the topic.

After Bai Guanlin and Jun Yutian left Wen Guiyun’s study, Wen Guiyun stood by the window for a while before calling Gu Qingqing over.

"Master, did you call for me?" Gu Qingqing knocked and entered, asking Wen Guiyun.

"Take a seat," Wen Guiyun pointed to a chair not far away. Once Gu Qingqing sat down, he continued, "How’s your body feeling? Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable?"

"I’m fine now, Master. Everything is going well, and I feel it won’t be long before I break through to the Half-step Immortal Rank," Gu Qingqing said, not hiding her feelings from Wen Guiyun and directly sharing her current state.

"Oh?" Wen Guiyun was somewhat surprised. If he remembered correctly, it had only been a year since Gu Qingqing advanced to the ninth rank. However, considering Gu Qingqing’s fast cultivation pace, he was relieved. "No need to rush; just go with the flow. Don’t put pressure on yourself."

He was worried that Gu Qingqing might feel anxious because Si Lin and the others had advanced to the Half-step Immortal Rank, so he couldn’t help but advise her.

"Don’t worry, Master, I understand. I won’t do anything reckless," Gu Qingqing replied, understanding Wen Guiyun’s concerns.

"As long as you understand." Wen Guiyun patted Gu Qingqing’s shoulder with great satisfaction. "The reason I called you here is to ask for your opinion."

Hearing this, Gu Qingqing looked at Wen Guiyun with curiosity.

"Yesterday, Saint Master Jun mentioned the marriage between you and Jun Wu. I want to ask for your opinion once more. Although Jun Wu has good qualities in many aspects, the most important thing is your willingness. If you agree, I’ll consent to Saint Master Jun’s proposal and exchange engagement letters between our two families to settle your marriage. If you don’t agree, I’ll reject him," Wen Guiyun said gently, looking at Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing hadn’t expected that Wen Guiyun called her to discuss her marriage, and she felt a bit shy. After hearing Wen Guiyun’s words, she was also touched. She always knew that Wen Guiyun and the others cared deeply for her, which made her very grateful for saving Rong Ye, allowing her to meet Wen Guiyun and the others!

After some thought, Jun Wu’s image appeared in her mind. She realized she wasn’t averse to being with Jun Wu. Though still a bit shy, she nodded, "Master, I am willing to marry Ah Wu!"

Jun Wu had always been good to her since they were young, and now even better. Moreover, she liked Jun Wu. Being able to be with someone she loves and to become husband and wife seemed like a very beautiful thing, so Gu Qingqing naturally didn’t want to refuse.

After Wen Guiyun finished speaking, he kept a close eye on Gu Qingqing’s reaction. Seeing her with a sweet smile and her cheeks flushed red, yet still saying she was willing, it could only mean she truly wanted to marry Jun Wu.

This realization made Wen Guiyun, who always treated Gu Qingqing like his own daughter, feel heartbroken. The feeling of his cherished cabbage being taken away resurfaced, and he regretted bringing up the marriage. Yet, in the end, he remained rational, closed his eyes to suppress the urge to eliminate Jun Wu, and then opened them to look at Gu Qingqing.

"Since you’re willing, I’ll agree to Saint Master Jun’s proposal and settle your marriage. As for the wedding date, I’ll discuss it further with Saint Master Jun. Hopefully, it can be postponed for a few more years. I don’t want you to marry so young; you’re still too young." Wen Guiyun felt that even if Gu Qingqing married at one hundred, it would be too soon in his heart.

Though Gu Qingqing agreed to the marriage, she didn’t intend to marry immediately. Hearing Wen Guiyun suggest postponing it for a few years, she nodded, though she wondered how Jun Wu, eager to marry her as soon as possible, would feel about this news.

"That’s settled then. There’s another matter concerning your Power of Word Spirit. Yesterday, your use of it was witnessed by others, and keeping it secret has become pointless. So when Saint Master Bai and the others asked earlier, I admitted to it. The Word Spirit Technique is only legendary, so for now, stay at Hua Yun Villa. Once I handle things here, we’ll return to Lingxi Sacred Land, and there will be no more concerns." Wen Guiyun hoped Gu Qingqing could mentally prepare and not be affected by others’ gossip.

"I understand, Master." Gu Qingqing had foreseen the consequences when she used the Power of Word Spirit yesterday, but to her, saving Wen Guiyun was worth any consequence, so she wasn’t bothered. Hearing Wen Guiyun’s concern reassured her that she made the right choice yesterday!

"As long as you know. There’s nothing else, so go and play," Wen Guiyun dismissed her with a wave.

"Disciple takes her leave." Gu Qingqing rose, bowed, and left.

After leaving Wen Guiyun’s courtyard, Gu Qingqing bumped into Rong Ye at the gate, who invited her to his courtyard.

"Geng Geng, what did Master want?" Rong Ye asked when they reached the courtyard.

Thinking of what Wen Guiyun discussed with her, Gu Qingqing blushed. "It’s nothing."

"Did Master ask about you and Jun Wu?" Rong Ye, despite his usual carefree attitude, noticed Gu Qingqing’s unnatural expression and asked directly.

"How did you know, Fifth Brother?" Gu Qingqing looked up in surprise.

"Master called us over yesterday to discuss it. We all thought it should be up to you. Master said he’d ask for your opinion, so I guessed it when I saw you leaving his courtyard. Looks like I was right," Rong Ye said proudly.

"Master asked all of you?" Gu Qingqing was surprised, but knowing how much her senior brothers cared for her, she realized they would be unhappy if Master hadn’t asked them. "Then, Fifth Brother, do you agree with my marriage to Ah Wu?"

Gu Qingqing asked carefully, looking at Rong Ye.

Rong Ye glanced at her, "It doesn’t matter if I agree or not; I’m not the one marrying Jun Wu. What matters is your opinion. If you agree, so do I. If you don’t, I’ll oppose it. Ultimately, we and Master are your support. If Jun Wu dares to bully you, we’ll help teach him a lesson!"

"Big Brother, you’re so good." Gu Qingqing hugged Rong Ye, hiding her tears from him.

She was ever grateful for fate’s arrangement, allowing her to meet Rong Ye and the others, who were her closest people in this world and her benefactors!

Since growing up, it was the first time Gu Qingqing was so close to Rong Ye, leaving him unsure of what to do, with his hands awkwardly raised and a slightly stupefied expression.

"Of course, it’s only right. You were brought back by me, and you’re my lifesaver. Who else should I be good to if not you?" Rong Ye said, lowering his hands and awkwardly patting Gu Qingqing’s back in comfort.

"Hmm, I was brought back by you, so you have to be good to me forever, Big Brother!" Gu Qingqing nodded in Rong Ye’s arms, coquettishly insisting.

"Of course, I’ll always protect you!" Rong Ye promised without hesitation.

Hearing this, Gu Qingqing’s lips curled into a slight smile as she withdrew from his embrace.

"Fifth Brother, I am willing to marry Ah Wu. I believe he won’t disappoint me!" She looked at Rong Ye with a sweet smile, demonstrating her trust in Jun Wu.
