My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 325 - 5: Ye Wanwan

Gu Qingqing originally thought that someone was trying to steal her prey, so when she looked over, her eyes were very fierce, but she was a bit taken aback when she saw it was a girl slightly older than her.

The girl’s appearance was rather delicate, and although she was older than Gu Qingqing, she appeared somewhat naive, like a pampered young lady, especially since she was frightened by Gu Qingqing’s gaze, looking completely flustered, not at all like someone who could kill the Illusion Deer in one move.

Seeing her like this, Gu Qingqing was momentarily stunned, her expression softened a bit: "Miss, why did you step in and take my prey?"

Hearing this, Ye Wanwan, who was intimidated by her gaze, was momentarily stunned, then looked at the Illusion Deer on the ground, then at Gu Qingqing, and realized she had misunderstood, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, "Sorry, I thought the Illusion Deer was going to hurt you, so I wanted to help you and killed it!"

Gu Qingqing raised an eyebrow, recalling the scene carefully, finding it normal for the other party to misunderstand, she just didn’t expect this lady to be truly naive, and kind-hearted.

"No problem, since it wasn’t intentional on the lady’s part, I won’t pursue it. I’ll take this Illusion Deer then." Since the other party had no ill intentions, Gu Qingqing didn’t intend to waste any more time, she said, and was ready to take the Illusion Deer and leave.

She had just put away the Illusion Deer and was about to leave when she heard a faint voice from behind, turning her head in confusion, "Miss, do you have anything else?"

"My name is Ye Wanwan, I, I’m lost," Ye Wanwan said with great courage, looking at Gu Qingqing’s calm expression, "Can you take me out? Don’t worry, I will compensate you!"

Gu Qingqing, filled with wonder at Ye Wanwan’s gaze, now truly curious about her identity, what kind of family could raise such a naive daughter? Even for her, ever since she was taken in as Wen Guiyun’s disciple, Wen Guiyun and the others have always pampered her, but they never shied away from teaching her things, even taking her around for firsthand experiences.

She could understand Wen Guiyun’s intentions, to let her live well on her own and have a better foothold in the world, so she couldn’t fathom how the girl in front of her could be so naive?

If it were someone else, wouldn’t this girl have been terribly deceived?

In the Sunset Mountain Range, there are all sorts of people, and here people live on the edge of a knife, tricking young girls is nothing, they won’t feel guilty at all.

"Miss, hasn’t your family taught you not to trust strangers easily when you’re outside?" Watching the other party looking expectantly at her, Gu Qingqing couldn’t help but hold her head, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll deceive you, or harm you?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanwan was momentarily stunned, her body trembled slightly, then she looked at Gu Qingqing and said firmly: "My intuition is very accurate, it tells me you’re a good person!"

Gu Qingqing: "..."

She was really defeated by this girl, seeing her so naive, since the other party inadvertently helped her earlier, she decided to do a good deed for the day and lead her out.

"Where’s your home?" she asked, walking up to Ye Wanwan.

"My home is in Purple Sunset City." Seeing Gu Qingqing like this, Ye Wanwan knew she had agreed, her eyes brightened, and she immediately replied.

Gu Qingqing raised an eyebrow, surprised that Ye Wanwan was also from Purple Sunset City. She recalled hearing people chatting on the street before, mentioning that there were three major families in Purple Sunset City: the Bai Family, the Ye Family, and the Sheng Family. Looking at Ye Wanwan’s attire, she wondered if Ye Wanwan might be from the Ye Family?

Though she was curious, she didn’t ask, "Follow me, I’ll take you out, remember to pay, one hundred immortality coins."

"Okay, okay." Ye Wanwan didn’t hesitate to agree upon hearing that Gu Qingqing was willing to lead her out.

Gu Qingqing shook her head and led Ye Wanwan out of the Sunset Mountain Range.

The place wasn’t far from Purple Sunset City, after walking for over half an hour, they exited the Sunset Mountain Range, and after walking for another quarter of an hour, they saw the city gates of Purple Sunset City, and Ye Wanwan, apparently recognizing the gates, immediately seemed much happier.

At that time, a group of people was standing at the city gate, led by a man about twenty-five or six years old. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with a jade crown on his head, wearing a green round-neck brocade robe, his features were rugged, and he was frowning as he looked at the passersby, as if searching for someone.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on Gu Qingqing and Ye Wanwan walking in their direction, his eyes lit up, and he immediately moved towards them.

Ye Wanwan also saw him, she was momentarily stunned, her steps halted, and she directly hid behind Gu Qingqing, as if doing so would make her less visible to him, not realizing that her actions had long been spotted by the other party, and Gu Qingqing was also momentarily stunned by her sudden action, and after seeing the man approaching in the distance, she guessed the general situation after a little thought.

"Ye Wanwan, is that young master coming over looking for you?" Gu Qingqing slightly turned her head and asked Ye Wanwan behind her.

"No, no, let’s go quickly." Ye Wanwan didn’t dare lift her head, hiding behind Gu Qingqing, hoping her second brother wouldn’t spot her.

"Wanwan, aren’t you coming out? What are you hiding for?" Stopping a short distance from Ye Wanwan and Gu Qingqing, Ye Tingshen looked at Ye Wanwan and said coolly.

Ye Wanwan shrank her neck, lowered her head, looking like she was attempting to deceive herself.

Gu Qingqing raised an eyebrow and stepped aside, exposing Ye Wanwan.

"Hey, Geng Geng!" Ye Wanwan hadn’t expected Gu Qingqing to directly step aside, exposing her in front of Ye Tingshen. She tried to call for Gu Qingqing but was directly met with Ye Tingshen’s eyes, choking back her words and shrinking back. Knowing she can’t escape, she obediently walked up to Ye Tingshen and called, "Second brother."

"You still know I’m your second brother?" Although seeing Ye Wanwan return safely, Ye Tingshen breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking that Ye Wanwan dared to leave home alone, his anger couldn’t subside, "You dare to run off alone, you’ve got quite the nerve?"

"Second Brother, I didn’t mean it, I just, I just thought, thought about going to help find herbs." Ye Wanwan looked at Ye Tingshen, her feet shuffling on the ground as she quietly defended herself.

Hearing this, Ye Tingshen glanced at her, wanting to say more, but then thought that her intentions were to help. Although it backfired, her heart was in the right place. He also remembered that she understood nothing and must have suffered in the Sunset Mountain Range, and with a sigh, he walked over to Ye Wanwan and patted her head.

"You," he sighed, "We can handle Third Brother’s matter. Why did you need to go to the Sunset Mountain Range to find herbs? You don’t understand anything, and if something happened, Third Brother would be worried sick."

"Second Brother," Ye Wanwan looked up at Ye Tingshen, "I won’t do it again."

"Good that you know." Ye Tingshen glared at her and said.

Ye Wanwan quickly nodded, almost swearing she wouldn’t do it again.

Seeing the two reconcile, Gu Qingqing prepared to leave. When she had told Ye Wanwan to ask for a reward before, it was just talk, and she didn’t really mean it. Now that Ye Wanwan had reached Purple Sunset City and reunited with her family, it was time for Gu Qingqing to make her exit.

"Geng Geng, wait a moment." Ye Wanwan caught a glimpse of Gu Qingqing preparing to leave, hurriedly called out, and then ran to her side to pull on her sleeve. "Second Brother, it’s thanks to Geng Geng that I got out of the Sunset Mountain Range." She smiled brightly at Ye Tingshen.

Ye Tingshen had noticed Gu Qingqing earlier. Although she was wearing a veil, her eyes were beautiful enough that it wasn’t hard to imagine her looks, and her demeanor suggested she wasn’t an ordinary person. But Ye Tingshen was more concerned about Ye Wanwan, so he hadn’t paid much attention to Gu Qingqing. Now hearing what Ye Wanwan said, he couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Gu Qingqing.

"Thank you, Miss, for helping my sister. If you have any requests, feel free to tell me. As long as it’s not against our principles, I can help you achieve it." He bowed slightly to Gu Qingqing, speaking with great courtesy.

Gu Qingqing didn’t expect Ye Wanwan to stop her, nor did she expect Ye Tingshen to be so solemn. She looked at Ye Wanwan, her lips tilting with a slight smile. "No problem, Wanwan also helped me. Bringing her out of the Sunset Mountain Range was just a small effort. Young Master Ye, there’s no need to be so polite."

Now she could be certain that the other party was indeed one of the three major families in Purple Sunset City, the Ye Family. Hearing rumors that the Ye Family’s situation wasn’t good, she didn’t plan to get involved, so maintaining distance was the best choice.

Hearing her words, Ye Tingshen was somewhat surprised. He hadn’t anticipated Gu Qingqing’s calm refusal to his offer. She must have guessed his identity but still declined, meaning she either truly didn’t care or was after something bigger.

Whichever it was, it piqued Ye Tingshen’s interest. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Geng Geng, didn’t we agree I’d give you immortality coins? I have them, so you don’t need to worry." Ye Wanwan, hearing Gu Qingqing’s words, became anxious and hurriedly attempted to retrieve immortal coins from her storage space for Gu Qingqing, who stopped her.

"No need, I was joking before. Now that you’re out of Purple Sunset City and reunited with your family, I should leave, as I have things to handle." Since she had returned to Purple Sunset City, she needed to deal with the Illusion Deer she had previously killed, making her trip worthwhile.

Ye Wanwan didn’t want Gu Qingqing to leave. Though she’d only spent a brief time with her, she really liked Gu Qingqing.

Just like Ye Tingshen thought, she had faced many hardships in the Sunset Mountain Range. Previously protected very well by her family, if not for worrying about her third brother’s injury, she might have already cried from grievances. Gu Qingqing was the only good person she’d met and brought her out of the Sunset Mountain Range. In her heart, she’d already made Gu Qingqing her good friend and obviously didn’t want her to go.

"Miss, my sister is right. Even if you don’t want a reward, it’s still possible for us siblings to treat you to a meal to show our gratitude. What do you think?" Ye Tingshen was clearer about the situation than Ye Wanwan. Regardless, Gu Qingqing helped Ye Wanwan, and they couldn’t show no gratitude, which is why he made the suggestion.

Seeing their insistence, Gu Qingqing knew that if she didn’t agree, she couldn’t leave today. After a brief hesitation, she agreed.

Thus, the three walked towards Purple Sunset City together. As they passed by the Ye Family servants, Ye Tingshen instructed them to return home and inform the family that Ye Wanwan had been found, so they wouldn’t worry, while he escorted Gu Qingqing and Ye Wanwan into the city.

Ye Wanwan, simple-hearted and fond of Gu Qingqing, hoped to remain friends with her and thus chatted with Gu Qingqing along the way. Gu Qingqing was patient and never minded Ye Wanwan, always smiling.

Ye Tingshen observed Gu Qingqing throughout the journey, noting her natural attitude towards Ye Wanwan, unaffected by Ye Wanwan’s identity. Her demeanor and poise were notably exceptional compared to any other young lady from prominent families he had seen.

The three arrived at a highly rated restaurant in Purple Sunset City, which happened to be owned by the Ye Family. Upon entering, the shopkeeper greeted Ye Tingshen and Ye Wanwan, arranging a private room for them. After checking with Gu Qingqing, Ye Tingshen ordered a few specialty dishes. Once the server left, only Gu Qingqing and the siblings were left in the room.

Since she was about to eat, Gu Qingqing removed her veil, storing it away.

Although Ye Wanwan and Ye Tingshen had guessed Gu Qingqing was very beautiful, they were still momentarily stunned when faced with her unveiled beauty.

"Geng Geng, you’re so beautiful." Ye Wanwan stared at Gu Qingqing, speaking dreamily.

Ye Tingshen, although better composed than Ye Wanwan, was momentarily dazed by Gu Qingqing’s beauty. Fortunately, he quickly regained his composure, lowering his head to drink tea to cover his momentary lapse.

Gu Qingqing was used to her own appearance, remaining calm to Ye Wanwan’s remark. "Thank you, Wanwan is also very pretty."

Ye Wanwan, evidently someone who appreciated beauty, blushed at Gu Qingqing’s compliment, looking quite bashful.

"Miss Gu, you don’t seem like you’re from Purple Sunset City." Ye Tingshen set down his teacup, avoiding looking at Gu Qingqing’s face, but still asked.

"That’s correct, I ascended from the Lower Realm." Gu Qingqing didn’t hide anything and openly shared her background.

Ye Wanwan and Ye Tingshen were a bit surprised. "Geng Geng, you came from the Lower Realm? I thought you were from another city."
