My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 350 - 30: Taking a Master [First Update]

After returning to the Outer Sect, Gu Qingqing and her companions welcomed many visitors. Previously, everyone was unaware of Gu Qingqing’s situation, but now the apprenticeship matter was well-known. Everyone knew that the four of them had limitless prospects in the future. Naturally, while they were still present, people wanted to quickly establish good relations with them. Otherwise, once they moved away, it would be difficult to see them!

However, Gu Qingqing and her companions were not the approachable type. Initially, they were patient, but later they directly refused those visits.

"Phew, these people are quite enthusiastic. I haven’t felt this kind of enthusiasm for years," Nan Hua said with a sigh, fanning himself.

"As long as we continue to surpass them, they will always be like this. There’s no need to waste time," Mu Chen said, resting his chin on one hand, his tone indifferent.

"Fourth senior brother is right; there’s no need to waste time on these people." Gu Qingqing nodded while swallowing a bite of her snack.

Whether on the Xuantian Continent or in the Sub-immortal Realm, they were accustomed to such adulation and did not find it anything to be proud of, maintaining a calm demeanor.

"Directly rejecting them at least makes it quieter here. We still have a few days before we move out; it can’t remain this noisy," Jun Wu said, wiping the corner of Gu Qingqing’s mouth and glancing at the door.

Nan Hua and the others nodded in agreement, fully endorsing Jun Wu’s words.

"Let’s not go out for the next couple of days. There’s still time to explore after the recruitment ceremony," Jun Wu said after some thought, adding a reminder.

Since arriving in the Immortal Realm, Jun Wu had taken over the responsibilities of Yue Zhao, and Nan Hua and Mu Chen had gotten used to Jun Wu handling many matters. Hearing what Jun Wu said, they nodded without any objections.

...

Song Xinrong’s situation was similar to that of Gu Qingqing and her companions, also receiving many visitors. However, unlike Gu Qingqing and the others, she did not refuse them. Not long before the recruitment ceremony, she gained quite a good reputation among this group of disciples and subtly tarnished the image of Gu Qingqing and her companions. People began to think that ever since they became Direct Disciples, they disregarded others and were too arrogant.

Gu Qingqing and her companions, naturally hearing about these matters, merely smiled and chose not to explain, as what those people thought did not affect them in any way.

Five days passed quickly, and it was suddenly time for the recruitment ceremony.

The Langya Immortal Sect had uniform disciple robes, with different styles and colors according to categories and ranks.

Outer Disciples wore gray brocade robes with wide sleeves; Inner Sect Disciples wore white brocade robes with wide sleeves, which were more exquisite than those of the Outer Disciples. The Direct Disciples of the elders wore green brocade robes with wide sleeves, even more refined in style, while those like Gu Qingqing, who were Direct Disciples of Peak Masters or Sect Masters, wore purple brocade robes with wide sleeves, adorned with auspicious cloud patterns on the chest and cuffs.

The disciple apparel appeared very elegant, and once worn, the entire temperament of the individual transformed.

Before the recruitment ceremony, Gu Qingqing and her companions received their robes and wore them on that day.

Purple inherently exudes nobility, and Gu Qingqing and her companions were exceptionally good-looking. Paired with the noble purple, they appeared even more ethereal, carrying an air of dignity that made it impossible to look away.

Song Xinrong also dressed up specially today. Taller among women, she was considered to be quite statuesque, with a curvaceous figure. Her hair was styled into a Spiritual Snake Bun, adorned with a gold phoenix tail hairpin. The blue gemstones on the tassels sparkled in the sunlight, complementing her exquisite makeup, making her appear even more radiant.

After she appeared, she became the center of attention, surrounded by people who flattered her. Though she appeared humble on the outside, inside she was quite proud. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Yet, when Gu Qingqing and her companions appeared, the crowd’s attention was easily captivated, and all eyes were on the four of them, causing her expression to momentarily distort.

Jun Wu exuded a cold and distant aura, appearing lofty as if he belonged above. Just a glance would make one feel the urge to bow down at his feet, not daring to oppose him. The purple robes accentuated his temperament, while adding a hint of enchanting charm, evoking a desire to pull him down from the altar and take liberties.

Nan Hua had a dashing aura, and when clothed in purple, he appeared not only handsome but also slightly romantic, especially when his peach blossom eyes looked over, making one feel like they were his entire world.

Mu Chen usually wore clothes of plain colors. His frame was naturally thin, and his complexion perennially pale, appearing somewhat frail. Yet, the purple robes counterbalanced these aspects, making him seem like a graceful youth, with his true age indiscernible.

As for Gu Qingqing, she had also dressed carefully today.

Her long hair was styled into a Fei Xian Bun completed by Jun Wu, adorned with a jade step摇 and several smaller hairpins as embellishments, making her appear as elevated as Jun Wu beside her.

Her face had a light makeup, her eyes appearing more spirited, with a subtle glow like starlight flowing within them. Her pink lips appeared even more alluring and her skin, naturally fair, seemed to glow even more brilliantly.

The purple brocade robe added a touch of ethereal grace to her, making her appear more like an aloof fairy, compelling people to want to do something to attract her attention.

Before Gu Qingqing appeared, Song Xinrong was the most beautiful woman present, but after Gu Qingqing arrived, all the brilliance was taken away by her, and everyone couldn’t see any other woman.

This realization made Song Xinrong quite dislike Gu Qingqing, and her gaze towards her was inevitably tinged with a hint of jealousy.

Gu Qingqing seemed to sense something as she turned her head, meeting Song Xinrong’s gaze, which was full of provocation, while Gu Qingqing remained very calm, as if she didn’t regard Song Xinrong at all!

After Gu Qingqing turned away, Song Xinrong’s face looked even worse. If it weren’t for the people around her, she would have shown her displeasure, letting everyone feel her unhappiness.

"Geng Geng, what’s wrong?" Jun Wu, beside Gu Qingqing, saw her looking around and couldn’t help but ask with concern.

"I feel someone’s gaze is not kind, but after looking around, I couldn’t find it." Gu Qingqing shook her head, saying somewhat regretfully.

Thinking of Song Xinrong’s gaze, Gu Qingqing frowned again, then thought she might have been mistaken. After all, she didn’t know Song Xinrong, why would the other provoke her? So she said nothing to Jun Wu.

Hearing this, Jun Wu also looked around, but by this time, Song Xinrong had withdrawn her gaze, so naturally, Jun Wu found nothing and kept this matter in mind, planning to investigate later.

"Didn’t sense anything wrong, I’ll pay attention later, you don’t need to worry about it," Jun Wu said gently, tapping Gu Qingqing’s nose.

"Got it!" Gu Qingqing scrunched her nose, playfully glaring at Jun Wu.

Their atmosphere was just right, even the air was tinged with pink, and people around couldn’t help but sigh.

This discipleship ceremony was just for the Langya Immortal Sect alone, attended only by Langya disciples without outsiders. After these disciples finished the master-worship ceremony, it would be communicated to other sects.

Immortal Venerable Hao Lan and the eight Peak Masters slowly arrived amid anticipation, appearing in the Main Hall.

"Disciples pay respects to Immortal Venerable, and to the Peak Masters!"

Upon their appearance, the disciples below uniformly bowed to the nine, their voices booming like waves outside the hall, full of momentum.

"Rise!"

Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears, and the nearly three thousand people present stood up simultaneously, silent except for the sound of clothing rustling.

"Time flies, three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it’s time for our Langya Immortal Sect’s discipleship ceremony again. This year we have many new faces joining us. I hope all present will coexist harmoniously and grow with your fellow disciples. You are the future of Langya Immortal Sect; I believe Langya Immortal Sect will thrive under your hands. Now, I announce the discipleship ceremony officially begins." As the Sect Master of Langya Immortal Sect, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan had hosted countless discipleship ceremonies, adept and straightforward, saying only a few pleasantries before getting straight to the point.

Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples do not have a discipleship ceremony; the first batch are the elders of each peak accepting disciples, which ends quickly. The second batch is each peak’s Peak Master accepting disciples, with Jun Wu and others stepping forward one by one as their names are called to greet their master and salute.

The third batch had only one person, Gu Qingqing, as she was to be apprenticed to the Sect Leader, taken out separately.

Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Qingqing apprenticed to Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, who was visibly in good spirits, his lips slightly lifted in a smile.

After Gu Qingqing’s apprenticeship ceremony completed, the entire discipleship ceremony ended, and next Gu Qingqing and the others would move to their respective peaks.

After discussing with Jun Wu, Gu Qingqing decided to reside at Nine Clouds Peak, after all, Nine Clouds Peak, as the main peak of Langya Immortal Sect, had the richest Immortal Qi, most suitable for cultivation. Thankfully, the distance between Nine Clouds Peak and Linghua Peak was not far, and Rong Songquan knew about Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu’s situation, not making things difficult for them.

After tidying the cave dwelling, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan summoned Gu Qingqing.

When Gu Qingqing arrived at Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s cave dwelling, there was someone else there as well.

The person wore a Purple Gold Crown, dressed in a Direct Disciple’s purple brocade robe with wide sleeves, standing beside Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, his posture upright and imposing.

Upon approaching, Gu Qingqing could clearly see the person’s appearance, not the slightest inferior to Jun Wu and others, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, a high nose bridge, handsome features, and a cool demeanor, like the moon at the horizon. His gaze was devoid of emotional fluctuations, as if nothing caught his eye and he cared for nothing!
