My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 328 - 8: [Second Update]

Unfortunately, they sent people to search the Sunset Mountain Range for so long but still didn’t find the Floating Moon Flower. Without the Floating Moon Flower, they can’t refine elixir, and her third brother’s injury won’t heal.

Gu Qingqing had stayed in Purple Sunset City for some time and had heard a lot from the local people and merchants about the conflicts among the city’s three major families.

A thousand years ago, although there were three major families in Purple Sunset City, the Ye Family had always been dominant. The other two families could only follow the Ye Family’s lead. But in recent years, the Ye Family seemed to be out of luck, declining day by day, while the Bai Family and the Sheng Family grew stronger, gradually forming a tripartite stalemate. After the two families allied, the Ye Family found themselves being suppressed by both.

If Ye Tingwen cannot be selected by the Langya Immortal Sect, the situation for the Ye Family will worsen. The Bai Family and Sheng Family will certainly use more force to oppress them, which is not good for the entire Ye Family.

Ye Wanwan was well protected by the Ye Family father and son. Although she generally understood the impact of this on her family, she wasn’t very clear. But Gu Qingqing and the others were different; they only had to think briefly to realize how precarious the Ye Family’s situation was.

Previously, Gu Qingqing might have just listened and let it go, as she wasn’t involved in these people’s entanglements, but since she got to know Ye Wanwan, she also somehow got involved with the Ye Family. If the Ye Family were to fall, Ye Wanwan likely wouldn’t have good days ahead, and that’s not something Gu Qingqing wanted to see.

However, having just recently ascended to the Immortal Rank, Gu Qingqing needed to improve both her cultivation and other aspects, so she didn’t directly offer help. She just thought to pay more attention and help as much as possible.

"Ah Wu and I will be going to the Sunset Mountain Range for cultivation recently. You can draw what the Floating Moon Flower looks like, and we can help look for it when we enter the range," Gu Qingqing said, putting down the teacup, to Ye Wanwan.

"Really?" Ye Wanwan was very pleasantly surprised upon hearing Gu Qingqing’s words. She had a keen sense and, though she had only known Gu Qingqing for a short time, knew that Gu Qingqing wasn’t one to meddle in others’ affairs. The fact that she said this was definitely because of her, warming her heart, but still, she was a little worried, "Qingqing, the Sunset Mountain Range is very dangerous. You and your husband need to be very careful."

Although she had only been in the Sunset Mountain Range once, she had heard many tales about it before and naturally knew how dangerous it was inside, worrying that Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu might get hurt there.

"Rest assured, we know our limits, nothing will happen." Gu Qingqing patted Ye Wanwan’s hand, reassuring her.

Thinking about it, Ye Wanwan realized Gu Qingqing didn’t seem like the reckless type and was much stronger than herself, so she wouldn’t let anything happen, and she felt relieved.

After dinner, Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu escorted Ye Wanwan back to the Ye Family and then walked back to the inn together.

"Ah Wu, when do you think the senior brothers will ascend? I kind of miss them," Gu Qingqing said, holding Jun Wu’s hand and glancing sideways.

"Before I ascended, the senior brothers had already arranged their matters pretty much, they should be ascending soon," Jun Wu comforted, looking at Gu Qingqing.

"I don’t know where the senior brothers will appear after ascending. The Immortal Realm is much larger than the Sub-immortal Realm. Although there are only eighteen cities, each city is very large. If the senior brothers ascend to another city, we might take some time to reunite," Gu Qingqing said, a bit worried, as she and Jun Wu hadn’t ascended to the same city, and she was worried Si Lin and the others might have the same situation.

Currently, without power or influence, finding someone is quite difficult, and if everyone is dispersed, it will indeed take some time to regroup.

Jun Wu understood this well and squeezed Gu Qingqing’s hand gently, speaking softly, "Don’t worry, let’s work hard now and strive to stand out in the Immortal Realm as soon as possible so the senior brothers can find us."

Gu Qingqing understood Jun Wu’s intent and nodded, "Our cultivation is still quite low, we need to seize the time to improve it."

In the Immortal Realm, though their cultivation wasn’t at the bottom, it was very low, so they had to seize every moment to improve.

"Suddenly, ascending to the Immortal Realm doesn’t seem so great," Gu Qingqing remarked, gazing ahead with a touch of sentiment.

Gu Qingqing didn’t care at all about status or position, but she cared that in the Immortal Realm, she can’t stay with Si Lin and the others, which made her uncomfortable.

She was taken care of by Si Lin and the others since childhood, and although they were occasionally apart in the middle, most of the time was spent together. Being apart like this was really something she wasn’t used to, but fortunately, she had Jun Wu by her side; otherwise, she might find it even harder.

"Qingqing, don’t worry, I’ll always be with you." Jun Wu stopped and, when Gu Qingqing looked over, pulled her into his arms gently, whispering tenderly.

Embraced by Jun Wu, surrounded by his mild fragrance, Gu Qingqing felt completely settled.

"Mm, I know, Ah Wu, I’ll always be with you too," Gu Qingqing said, nuzzling Jun Wu’s chest.

Jun Wu smiled gently and patted Gu Qingqing’s back.

After a while, the two continued on their way back. Once they reached the inn, the long-separated couple shared tender affection once again, and the next morning, they set off for the Sunset Mountain Range together. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Previously, Gu Qingqing hadn’t stayed at the very edge of the Sunset Mountain Range anymore but had moved deeper in. Now with Jun Wu by her side, their combined combat ability had greatly increased, so naturally, they moved closer to the center of the range. The spirit beasts here were no longer at the Heavenly Immortal level but at the True Immortal Realm level, which was nearly two levels higher than Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, but they weren’t afraid.

When they had trained together in the Sub-immortal Realm, they had established a great rapport; now, as a married couple, they had an even better understanding of each other, making it relatively easy to deal with spirit beasts of the True Immortal Realm.

Every day, they reaped a considerable amount of resources, and in less than a month, they had accumulated plenty of immortal coins, and their cultivation had improved somewhat.

That day, as usual, Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu entered the Sunset Mountain Range, first dealing with a portion of the low-level spirit beasts and then proceeding deeper to seek spirit beasts of the True Immortal Realm. Soon, they discovered a Green Blood Horse. Among spirit beasts of the same level, it was considered quite powerful, named for its distinctive green blood.

Its body was taller than an average horse, slightly larger than the Heavenly Qilin Horse they used in the Sub-immortal Realm. With slender yet strong limbs, the entire horse was a green color, and it looked at Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu with great displeasure.
