My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 339 - 19: Discussion [First Update]

After some time of interaction, both Gu Qingqing and Nan Hua felt that the Ye Family was good and worth befriending, so they did not refuse his invitation.

After most people left, Gu Qingqing and the others left with the Ye Family members, heading together to the largest restaurant in Purple Sunset City, Yueyun Building, for a meal.

As they walked back, their names and the events of the day were spreading through Purple Sunset City at an unimaginable speed.

Everyone in Purple Sunset City knew that four individuals with Upper Immortal Rank qualifications had emerged, and they were just waiting for the second and third tests to be over to be accepted as disciples of the Langya Immortal Sect.

Besides that, Ye Tingwen of the Ye Family had recovered and tested with a Heaven Rank qualification and was also very likely to become a disciple of the Langya Immortal Sect.

The fact that the Bai Family and the Sheng Family had joined forces to suppress the Ye Family was known throughout Purple Sunset City. Now, with the emergence of Ye Tingwen, even though the Bai Family and the Sheng Family also had passed the first test, they were far inferior compared to Ye Tingwen. Even if all were accepted into the Langya Immortal Sect, they would not be on the same level!

If Ye Tingwen had continued to be injured, missing this apprenticeship opportunity, the Ye Family could have been ousted from Purple Sunset City by the joint efforts of the Bai Family and the Sheng Family. But now, everything had turned around.

As long as Ye Tingwen entered the Langya Immortal Sect, the Ye Family would retaliate against the Bai Family and Sheng Family, and who would ultimately win was still uncertain!

However, one thing that everyone was sure of was that after this recruitment ended, Purple Sunset City would undergo a major change.

At this moment, neither the Bai Family nor the Sheng Family was at peace.

The Sheng Family was relatively better off, as they did not have much conflict with the Ye Family. Even their suppression was not too severe, being more of a pressure in momentum.

But the Bai Family was different. The hatred between the Bai Family and the Ye Family had accumulated over the years, beginning with the generation of Ye Wanwan’s grandfather. The Bai Family and the Ye Family had never gotten along, constantly clashing with each other.

Although this animosity was never made public, everyone in Purple Sunset City knew that the Ye Family and the Bai Family were at odds!

Therefore, upon learning that Ye Tingwen had recovered and was highly likely to enter the Langya Immortal Sect, the Bai Family was the first to panic.

Ever since Ye Tingwen’s Heaven Rank qualification was revealed, the Bai Family Master’s face turned exceedingly grim. After the first test concluded and he returned to the Bai Family from the plaza, he swept everything off his desk in his study onto the floor in rage, slamming his palm down on the desk. If it had not been made of extraordinarily sturdy material, it would likely have been ruined by that smack.

"Damn it! How could Ye Tingwen recover? Wasn’t it said that the Ye Family hadn’t found the Floating Moon Flower?" The Bai Family Master asked his younger brother, Bai Wen’an, who had also entered the study with a sullen face.

"Our previous intel always stated that Ye Tingwen had not recovered and that the Ye Family had been looking for the Floating Moon Flower. But now it seems that the Ye Family deceived us. They must have found the Floating Moon Flower a while ago. Judging by Ye Tingwen’s condition today, he didn’t just recover recently," Bai Wen’an also looked displeased, no less surprised than the Bai Family Master when he saw Ye Tingwen.

They weren’t fools; it only took a moment of thought to realize that the Ye Family had intentionally kept this hidden.

Had they known earlier that Ye Tingwen had recovered, they would have certainly found ways to injure him again. Hence, the Ye Family preferred to keep claiming outwardly that Ye Tingwen had not recovered so that their opponents would let their guards down.

"We were too careless! We actually believed the Ye Family’s external lies. Now that the people from the Langya Immortal Sect have seen Ye Tingwen, it will indeed be hard to suppress the Ye Family in the future." The Bai Family Master was full of regret; he should have pressured the Ye Family into oblivion earlier to prevent this situation.

"It’s too late to talk about it now, big brother. We need to figure out what to do next," Bai Wen’an said with a frown to the Bai Family Master.

The Bai Family Master slumped into a chair, all his energy and spirit drained, looking much older.

"We’ve already torn our relationship with the Ye Family, reconciliation is impossible, and I couldn’t bring myself to do such a thing. Now all we can do is wait and see what move the Ye Family makes," he said weakly, rubbing his forehead.

"How did it come to this?" Bai Wen’an murmured to himself as he looked at the desolate face of the Bai Family Master.

The two exchanged glances, each seeing helplessness in the other’s eyes.

Who could have imagined that before today, they were thinking about how to eliminate the Ye Family and divide their resources, only to find that overnight, everything had changed, and they might be the ones to be eliminated?

...

Gu Qingqing and the others enjoyed a sumptuous meal with Ye Tingwen and his siblings, dining until evening.

Afterward, Gu Qingqing and her group returned to their living quarters, while Ye Tingwen and his three siblings returned to the Ye Family.

After sending Ye Wanwan back to her courtyard, the three Ye Tingwen brothers went to Ye Tingyan’s study.

"Third brother, congratulations! You’re about to become a disciple of Langya Immortal Sect." Ye Tingyan said to Ye Tingwen with a face full of joy.

"Thank you, big brother!" Ye Tingwen was also very happy, after all, it was the Langya Immortal Sect, one of the four great immortal sects!

"With third brother becoming a disciple of Langya Immortal Sect, let’s see how the Bai Family and Sheng Family can still bully our Ye Family!" Ye Tingshen looked at Ye Tingyan and then Ye Tingwen, saying with excitement.

Upon hearing this, both Ye Tingyan and Ye Tingwen’s expressions changed slightly.

"Those two families must be panicking now. To be honest, seeing the change of their faces gives me great satisfaction, making all the past forbearance feel worthwhile." Ye Tingwen, having no good feeling towards the Bai and Sheng Families, said with a sneer.

"If they didn’t want to get rid of our Ye Family and target our third brother, he wouldn’t have had to endure all that suffering. We have remembered all the past blows and insults, and will definitely make those two families pay back in full." Ye Tingyan said coldly, with venom in his words.

Ever since Ye Tingwen recovered, the Ye Family had laid low, no longer confronting the Bai and Sheng Families head-on, but this did not mean they had forgotten the matter. Now that Ye Tingwen was about to become a disciple of Langya Immortal Sect, they could finally settle scores with those two families.

The three brothers held strong resentments against the Bai and Sheng Families over this incident, eager to return all the humiliation they had suffered to those families.

"I really didn’t expect Miss Gu and her group’s talents to be so high. Although we had some premonition upon hearing about their cultivation speed earlier, having an Immortal Rank Top Grade aptitude is truly impressive!" Seeing Ye Tingwen and Ye Tingyan both in anger, not wanting to spoil the good mood of the night, Ye Tingshen immediately changed the topic to mention Gu Qingqing and her group.

"Indeed, I originally thought that third brother’s aptitude was already very high, but I didn’t expect those four to have even higher aptitude. With their aptitude, I believe they will become direct disciples of Langya Immortal Sect, and our efforts to befriend them haven’t been in vain." Ye Tingyan, eyes flashing, said.

"It’s also thanks to Wanwan. If she hadn’t known Miss Gu, we wouldn’t have obtained the Floating Moon Flower, my injury couldn’t have healed, and Wanwan’s good relationship with Miss Gu can also draw us closer to them." Ye Tingwen was also amazed at Gu Qingqing’s group’s aptitude, feeling envy but understanding that it was innate and couldn’t be changed. He was only glad that they were friends with Gu Qingqing and her group rather than enemies.

"Indeed, Wanwan has done a good job with this matter." Ye Tingshen nodded in agreement, affirming Ye Wanwan’s credit.

He couldn’t help thinking back to the first time he saw Gu Qingqing, ever imagining that she would have such high aptitude, possibly becoming a direct disciple of Langya Immortal Sect, her status would become worlds apart from theirs.

"In any case, we must maintain a good relationship with Miss Gu and her group in the future. They may not have much influence in the Immortal Realm now, but who knows what the future holds." Ye Tingyan had a keen eye for people; he believed that Gu Qingqing and her group would eventually soar high, and establishing a good relationship sooner would only be beneficial for their family.

Ye Tingshen and Ye Tingwen also agreed with this sentiment, nodding their heads in firm agreement.

...

The courtyard where Yan Lingcheng and the others stayed was quite lively.

The day’s testing produced four with Immortal Rank Top Grade and one with Heaven Rank Top Grade; Yan Lingcheng couldn’t be more excited. After returning to their residence, he immediately sent news to the Peak Master of Linghua Peak and the Sect Leader of Langya Immortal Sect.

Both were shocked upon hearing the news and quickly sent messages to Yan Lingcheng, instructing him to ensure that Gu Qingqing and the others were brought back to Langya Immortal Sect. Yan Lingcheng, knowing the importance, assured them that he would bring Gu Qingqing and her group back to Langya Immortal Sect safely, which satisfied the two leaders.

After communicating with them, Yan Lingcheng was still extremely excited. In his long time at Langya Immortal Sect, it was his first time encountering Immortal Rank Top Grade aptitude, and four appeared at once!

No one understood better than these elders what such aptitude represented.

It could be said that disciples recruited by Langya Immortal Trace must have an aptitude above Earth Rank, and such disciples can at most cultivate to Daluo Golden Immortal Level. A Heaven Rank Top Grade aptitude, like Ye Tingwen, can essentially cultivate to Immortal Emperor Level.

But for someone like Gu Qingqing and her group, as long as nothing unexpected happens, they can definitely cultivate to Immortal Venerable Level, possibly even higher, which is why it’s so exciting.

He couldn’t wait to see Gu Qingqing and her group grow, but though he wished to take them away immediately, there were still two tests remaining. He must wait until these are complete before taking this batch of disciples back to Langya Immortal Sect, forcing him to patiently wait.

...

Early the next day, still in the central square of Purple Sunset City, those who passed the first test the day before gathered here. Once most people had arrived, Yan Lingcheng took the stage to announce the rules of the competition test to them.

"Next, I will use an Immortal Artifact to open an Illusion Realm. Each of you will enter the Illusion Realm in turn; within one hour, those who can come out of the Illusion Realm will pass the second test, those who can’t, will be eliminated."
