My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 347 - 27: Discussion [Second Update]

"Thank you, Peak Master." Yan Lingcheng stood up following that force and then carefully sat on the chair beside him. He glanced at Rong Songquan and hesitantly spoke, "Peak Master, I have brought back the four disciples with top-grade Immortal Rank qualifications. Shouldn’t you take a look? When it’s time to recruit disciples, we could draw these four to our side."

Ever since he discovered the talents of Gu Qingqing and the other three, Yan Lingcheng had this idea. If he weren’t worried about other Peak Masters having opinions, he would have kept this news to himself, only notifying Rong Songquan, letting him directly recruit Gu Qingqing and the others, so others wouldn’t benefit!

Top-grade Immortal Rank qualifications are not easily encountered. One might say they’re a once-in-a-thousand-years encounter—if you miss this opportunity, there won’t be another. Naturally, Yan Lingcheng was anxious.

When he earlier communicated with Rong Songquan, he mentioned it as well, but Rong Songquan had not agreed at that time, only saying to talk when Gu Qingqing and the others arrived at the sect. Hence, he brought it up again.

Today, several elders have become aware of this matter. It likely won’t take an hour before everyone in the Langya Immortal Sect knows about it. By then, it would not be easy to make a move!

"No worries, let’s discuss it on the day of disciple recruitment," Rong Songquan glanced at Yan Lingcheng, seeing he had more to say, and understood his thoughts immediately, "If those four wish to take this Peak Master as their master, none can take them away, so there’s no need for you to be so anxious."

With Rong Songquan saying so, though Yan Lingcheng had much to say, he could only hold back.

"I understand your thinking, top-grade Immortal Rank qualifications are indeed precious, but there’s no need to be this hurried. If we act too eagerly, won’t other peaks laugh at us? You’ve said before that these four aren’t simple characters, likely with their own opinions, and aren’t ones to be easily bought with small favors or easily change their minds. Since that is the case, let’s just watch for now." Compared to Yan Lingcheng’s anxiousness, Rong Songquan appeared calm.

Hearing Rong Songquan’s words, Yan Lingcheng frowned slightly, recalling his recent interactions with Gu Qingqing and the others, finding they were indeed as Rong Songquan described—very decisive, not easily swayed, and their premature offers might be seen as trivial by others.

"The Peak Master thinks things through thoroughly; it’s my fault for overthinking." Yan Lingcheng’s expression was slightly embarrassed, somewhat astonished.

"No worries, it’s just you being concerned leading to confusion. You’ve worked hard on this journey, go back and rest." Rong Songquan waved his hand, not blaming Yan Lingcheng.

"Yes, I’ll take my leave." Yan Lingcheng stood up quickly, cupped his hands, then respectfully retreated.

After he left, Rong Songquan was the only one left. He stared at the doorway for a moment, then lifted his teacup, took a sip, his expression somewhat profound.

...

After Yan Lingcheng brought Gu Qingqing and the others to a courtyard, he spoke with the steward elder and then left. The elder then assigned accommodation to Gu Qingqing and the others, with two people per room. As Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu were married, the steward elder, though surprised, arranged for them to share a room, while Nan Hua and Mu Chen shared another, and Ye Tingwen shared a room with another man from Purple Sunset City.

After assigning rooms, that steward elder explained a few things to Gu Qingqing and the others, mainly that the disciple recruitment day was set in three days. During this time, they needed to stay here temporarily, and accommodations would be rearranged post-master selection. They couldn’t leave the premises within these three days, and meals had to be picked up at the dining hall according to schedule, everything else at their discretion.

After everyone dispersed, Gu Qingqing and the others went to Nan Hua and Mu Chen’s residence.

"Langya Immortal Sect truly lives up to being one of the four major Immortal Sects in the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Qi here is indeed abundant, probably twice as outside. I feel I’ll soon rise by a rank," Nan Hua looked around, slightly teasing.

"Same for me, and this isn’t even the Inner Peak. When we become disciples and get cultivation techniques, our cultivation speed will surely increase," Mu Chen agreed heartily, following Nan Hua’s words.

"According to Elder Yan, with our qualifications known to the sect’s elders, there will likely be many wanting us as disciples. Have you all decided who you’d like as your master?" Jun Wu handed Gu Qingqing a peeled Immortal Fruit, asked casually while wiping his hands.

Hearing this, Nan Hua and the other two were stunned; evidently, they hadn’t thought about this before.

"Elder Yan also mentioned that Langya Immortal Sect comprises nine peaks. The main peak Jiuyun Peak’s Peak Master is the Sect Master, with profound cultivation, while the other peaks’ Masters have roughly equal cultivation, not inferior. However, their temperaments differ. With our qualifications, we’re bound to be under a Peak Master, so have you decided which peak master to choose?" Jun Wu wasn’t surprised by their reactions, placed the towel aside, and continued asking.

"Hmm, Elder Yan mentioned the Sect Master’s temperament resembles our master. I want to take him as my master." Gu Qingqing took a bite of the Immortal Fruit, speaking with some longing.

For her, Wen Guiyun is undoubtedly different, and she prefers a teacher like him. Since the Sect Master’s temperament is akin to Wen Guiyun, she certainly wishes to be Wen Guiyun’s disciple.

"Elder Yan said the Tianyi Peak Master focuses on Alchemy Dao, which aligns with my path. I’ll probably choose the Tianyi Peak Master as my master," Mu Chen considered, took an Immortal Fruit, and took a bite.

"The Jianan Peak Master specializes in Array. I plan to take him as my master." Nan Hua thought about Yan Lingcheng’s introduction, waving his fan.

"Ah Wu, what about you?" Gu Qingqing turned her head, curiously looking at Jun Wu.

"The Linghua Peak Master specializes in Sword Technique, which suits me." Jun Wu tucked Gu Qingqing’s stray hair behind her ear, speaking tenderly.

"Ah? Does that mean we’ll be separated?" Gu Qingqing was a bit shocked and a little displeased.

"It’s not a given; we won’t be separated." Jun Wu wiped the juice from her mouth with a scarf, speaking confidently.

Gu Qingqing paused, initially wanting to say that it wasn’t up to Jun Wu, but thinking that he must have a way, she swallowed her words, nodded, and continued eating the Immortal Fruit.

Having unexpectedly been served a handful of ’dog food’ (PDA) by Nan Hua and Mu Chen, they exchanged a glance and both turned away, not wanting to be harmed.

While they discussed who to take as a master, news of four top-grade Immortal Rank talents had already spread throughout Langya Immortal Sect. At that moment, everyone was discussing this matter—people with top-grade Immortal Rank talents!
