My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 329 - 9: Floating Moon Flower

Facing the Green Blood Horse, Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation, with no sign of backing down.

If anyone else saw this, they would probably think the two of them were crazy.

Fighting across levels isn’t something just anyone can do, but for Jun Wu and Gu Qingqing, it’s become a routine; their cultivation journey has been a series of battles across different levels.

Gu Qingqing signaled to Jun Wu with a look, and the two of them encircled the Green Blood Horse, one on the left and one on the right.

At the level of the Green Blood Horse, this spirit beast has quite a bit of human-like intelligence. It could discern the cultivation level of Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, and did not take them seriously, snorting as it launched the first attack, charging directly at the seemingly weaker Gu Qingqing.

It could only be said the Green Blood Horse had bad luck; it thought Gu Qingqing, as a young woman with seemingly lower cultivation, would be easier to deal with. In normal circumstances, this might be true, but Gu Qingqing was anything but normal.

The Mixed Immortal Silk flew out from Gu Qingqing’s sleeve, transforming into a white wall, blocking Gu Qingqing. When the Green Blood Horse approached, the white wall suddenly enveloped it.

Gu Qingqing lightly tapped the ground with her toe, propelling herself into the air, and landed above the Green Blood Horse, delivering a strike with her palm.

The Green Blood Horse was trying to find a way to break free from the Mixed Immortal Silk wrapped around it when Gu Qingqing’s palm landed on it, pausing its movements momentarily, only to struggle even more fiercely afterward.

Seizing this opportunity, Gu Qingqing delivered a series of punches and kicks to the Green Blood Horse, which continued to struggle. With a swift motion, Gu Qingqing retracted the Mixed Immortal Silk from the Green Blood Horse.

Before the Green Blood Horse could rejoice, Jun Wu’s Guan Saber had already appeared before it, grazing its body and leaving a long wound. Greenish-blue blood flowed from the wound, which looked rather eerie.

The Green Blood Horse hadn’t expected to be injured by the two humans it looked down upon, becoming extremely angry. It neighed and charged at Gu Qingqing once more.

Its speed was remarkable, and Gu Qingqing barely managed to dodge the critical point. Still, she was knocked away, crashing into a tree, and only stopped there. This time, her injuries were severe, and blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

"Geng Geng!" Seeing Gu Qingqing injured, Jun Wu was furious.

He hurled his silver scimitar, which circled around the Green Blood Horse. The Green Blood Horse tried to evade the scimitar, but avoiding Jun Wu’s scimitar wasn’t so easy.

The blade light trapped it entirely, leaving wounds on it from time to time. Before long, the Green Blood Horse was drenched in blood.

Excessive blood loss significantly decreased the Green Blood Horse’s combat effectiveness and slowed it down, making it much more irritable as well.

Though Gu Qingqing was injured, her combat strength remained, and she worked well with Jun Wu. Despite paying a price, they managed to take down the Green Blood Horse.

"Geng Geng, are you alright?" Jun Wu asked with concern as he approached Gu Qingqing.

"I’m fine." Gu Qingqing shook her head. She had already taken an elixir, and although it wasn’t as effective as before, her injuries had improved a lot.

Jun Wu carefully observed Gu Qingqing’s complexion and saw it had indeed improved, easing his worries somewhat.

After collecting the Green Blood Horse, they checked the time and realized it was getting late, so they prepared to leave the Sunset Mountain Range.

As they passed a small river, Gu Qingqing went to wash her face. She casually glanced around and suddenly noticed an unusual flower under a large tree. She paused, then turned back to look, her gaze fixed on the flower. Hesitantly, she approached it.

Before her was a pale yellow flower with a delicate color. Its petals numbered seven or eight, each with a crescent-moon-like pattern. The stem was silver and leafless, resembling the Floating Moon Flower Ye Wanwan had described to her earlier.

"Geng Geng, what’s up?" Jun Wu, seeing Gu Qingqing unmoving for a while, walked over with a trace of worry.

"Look at this flower; doesn’t it look like the Floating Moon Flower Wanwan mentioned earlier?" Gu Qingqing raised her head, glanced at Jun Wu, then pointed to the flower before her.

Jun Wu, having seen the drawing with Gu Qingqing, paused at her words, bent down, and carefully examined the flower.

"Pale yellow, silver stem, petals with crescent shapes; it should be the Floating Moon Flower!" he said, recalling the introduction of the Floating Moon Flower.

The two exchanged a surprised glance.

Earlier, Ye Wanwan mentioned that the Ye Family had already searched many places in the Sunset Mountain Range, but couldn’t find any trace of the Floating Moon Flower. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingqing found it just by coming over to wash her face!

Remembering how Gu Qingqing often had great luck in the Sub-immortal Realm, frequently encountering spirit flowers and herbs that others couldn’t find, Jun Wu instantly felt at ease.

"Wanwan and the others searched for so long, who would have thought it would be us to find it. Let’s pick it quickly, and we’ll deliver it to Wanwan when we get back." Imagining how happy Ye Wanwan would be to see the Floating Moon Flower, Gu Qingqing couldn’t help but smile.

"Alright." Jun Wu usually had no objections to Gu Qingqing’s decisions, so he nodded.

Gu Qingqing carefully dug out the entire Floating Moon Flower, packed it up, and then left the Sunset Mountain Range with Jun Wu.

By the time they left the Sunset Mountain Range, the sky was completely dark, but Purple Sunset City was still quite lively. Many people, like Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, had returned from the mountain range. The city was brightly lit, bustling with people, presenting a lively scene.

Knowing that Ye Wanwan urgently needed the Floating Moon Flower, Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu didn’t delay and went directly to the Ye Family. After the guards at the gate reported their arrival, Ye Wanwan personally came out, somewhat surprised to see Gu Qingqing.

Previously, Ye Wanwan had always gone to the inn to find Gu Qingqing. This was the first time Gu Qingqing came to the Ye Family to see Ye Wanwan. While happy, Ye Wanwan was also a bit curious.

"Geng Geng, what brings you here? Let’s talk inside." Ye Wanwan asked curiously in front of Gu Qingqing.

"It’s quite late now, so we won’t go in. This is for you, open it when you get back." Gu Qingqing handed Ye Wanwan a prepared Storage Bag, specifically urging her to open it only after returning.

Ye Wanwan accepted the Storage Bag, feeling a bit curious, but as she trusted Gu Qingqing, she didn’t open it immediately. "Geng Geng, are you sure you won’t come in?"

"No, Ah Wu and I will head back to the inn to rest. Be careful when you check it later. We’re leaving." Gu Qingqing shook her head, gave a reminder, and then left with Jun Wu.

After seeing Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu off, Ye Wanwan returned home in high spirits. Once in her room, she eagerly took out the contents from the Storage Bag. Seeing the well-preserved flower, she was momentarily stunned, then realized it looked very familiar.

Going over it in her mind once more, she immediately recognized it as the Floating Moon Flower they had been searching for, and was completely shocked.

Once she realized this, she carefully packed the Floating Moon Flower and hurried over to her elder brother Ye Tingyan’s courtyard, where Ye Tingshen and Ye Tingyan were currently discussing matters about Ye Tingwen in Ye Tingshen’s study.

"We’ve searched for so many days without any news on the Floating Moon Flower, and Third Brother’s injury has been dragging on for too long." Ye Tingshen said, frowning, as he sat across from Ye Tingyan.

"The Floating Moon Flower is incredibly difficult to find, and there’s no information in the auction house. We need to think of other solutions." Ye Tingyan was also anxious. The longer Ye Tingwen’s injury dragged on, the harder it would be to treat, and he was worried about more issues arising.

"I must take people tomorrow morning to search deeper in the Sunset Mountain Range. We have to find the Floating Moon Flower." Ye Tingshen clenched his fist, speaking through gritted teeth.

"No, you can’t!" Ye Tingyan immediately objected, "The Sunset Mountain Range is dangerous, especially further in. Third Brother is already hurt, you can’t risk it."

"Then what should we do? We can’t just watch Third Brother’s injury get worse," Ye Tingshen became agitated. Originally, Ye Tingwen was the hope of the Ye Family, but he’s in such a state now. He couldn’t bear to see his brother ruined!

While Ye Tingyan and Ye Tingshen were anxious, the study door suddenly opened. Just as Ye Tingyan was about to reprimand the intruder, he saw that it was their beloved younger sister, Ye Wanwan, who looked quite anxious, and he immediately rushed over with concern.

"Wanwan, what’s wrong?" Ye Tingwen asked while walking towards her.

"Brother, Second Brother, you’re both here, that’s great," seeing both Ye Tingyan and Ye Tingshen present, Ye Wanwan was delighted. Without caring about their reactions, she directly took out the Storage Bag given by Gu Qingqing and carefully extracted its contents.

Seeing Ye Wanwan like this, Ye Tingyan and Ye Tingshen exchanged confused glances, not understanding what Ye Wanwan was doing.

As Ye Wanwan took out the Floating Moon Flower, both Ye Tingyan and Ye Tingshen’s eyes fixed on it.

"Is this the Floating Moon Flower?" Ye Tingyan quickly stepped to Ye Wanwan’s side, asking with surprise.

Ye Wanwan carefully cradled the Floating Moon Flower, "Brother, does it look like it to you too? I think it is. We should get Second Uncle to check if this is the Floating Moon Flower. If it is, Third Brother’s injury can be healed."

"This should be the Floating Moon Flower. Let’s find Second Uncle right away." Ye Tingshen also thought it looked like the Floating Moon Flower. But like Ye Wanwan, he feared they might be mistaken and believed they should first have their Doctor uncle take a look.

So the three of them carefully carried the Floating Moon Flower to their Second Uncle’s courtyard. Their Second Uncle, who was also the Ye Family Master’s brother, was an Alchemist and Doctor, quite talented in Alchemy. Currently, he was a sixth-tier Elixir Immortal, researching other treatment methods for Ye Tingwen’s injury.
