My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 351 - 31: Lou Mingyu [Second Update]

His temperament is somewhat similar to Si Lin, but Si Lin only appears indifferent on the surface. In reality, anyone who enters his heart is well protected and carefully cherished by him.

But the person in front of him is different; his coldness is from the inside out, the kind that cannot be warmed.

"Geng Geng, quickly come over and meet your senior brother." Immortal Venerable Hao Lan was the first to notice Gu Qingqing, slightly curling the corners of his mouth as he waved to Gu Qingqing, signaling her to come over.

"Disciple greets Master." Gu Qingqing quickly walked over and first saluted Immortal Venerable Hao Lan.

"No need for formalities, come over," Immortal Venerable Hao Lan waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted Gu Qingqing, "This is your fourth senior brother Lou Mingyu, eleven years older than you, with cultivation at the Golden Immortal level. If anyone bullies you in the future, you can tell your senior brother, and let him help you out!"

Before Gu Qingqing came, she had heard Yan Lingcheng mention Lou Mingyu, knowing he was the most formidable presence among the younger generation. She had wondered what he would be like, but upon meeting him, she realized he was quite different from what she had imagined.

After hearing Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s words, Lou Mingyu turned his head to glance at Gu Qingqing. His eyes remained emotionless, causing Gu Qingqing’s heart to skip a beat, feeling that this senior brother might be difficult to get along with.

"Geng Geng greets senior brother." Although she murmured internally, she still smiled brightly and paid her respects to Lou Mingyu. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Hmm." Lou Mingyu responded with a detached attitude, nodding his head lightly. His peripheral vision caught Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s displeased gaze, making him pause. Under Gu Qingqing’s surprised gaze, he spoke again, "If anyone bullies you, you can report my name, and I’ll avenge you!"

After speaking, he glanced at Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, and seeing him pleased, he finally turned his head.

"Your senior brother is cultivating the Heartless Path, which is why he seems very cold. However, rest assured, he is a person who values promises. Since he agreed to protect you, he will definitely do so. You can go directly to him if you have any problems." Seeing Gu Qingqing’s surprise, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan explained Lou Mingyu’s situation slightly.

Although she had never met one before, Gu Qingqing had heard of the Heartless Path, and knew that those who practiced this Taoist Skill had to sever emotions and love. She instantly understood Lou Mingyu’s behavior.

"This disciple understands, thank you Master and senior brother." She knew that Immortal Venerable Hao Lan acknowledging her like this meant he considered her as one of his own, which deeply moved Gu Qingqing.

"Why thank me?" Immortal Venerable Hao Lan waved his hand, "Don’t mind your senior brother, now come over and look, I’ve found two Cultivation Techniques for you that I think suit you well. See which one you would like to choose?"

As Immortal Venerable Hao Lan stretched out his hand, two pieces of Jade Scroll appeared in it, the two Cultivation Techniques he mentioned.

"Look at each one first, then decide which one to use. Both have their own strengths, consider them carefully." He said, handing the Jade Scrolls to Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing carefully took the Jade Scrolls from Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, first picking up one and placing it on her forehead. Instantly, a cultivation technique appeared in her mind, which she carefully reviewed before opening her eyes and placing the other Jade Scroll on her forehead. Another cultivation technique appeared in her mind.

She returned the Jade Scrolls to Immortal Venerable Hao Lan and then closed her eyes to decide which Cultivation Technique would be more appropriate.

According to the records, one of these cultivation techniques takes the normal path, where initial cultivation is faster but becomes more cumbersome in mid-to-late stages, while the other is different, with potentially slower initial cultivation but faster progress after reaching Taiyin True Immortal.

If Gu Qingqing’s talent were average, she might choose the first cultivation technique, as most people’s cultivation speed is like that. However, Gu Qingqing’s aptitude is good, and her cultivation speed is fast. From the long-term perspective, choosing the second one is much better.

"Master, I choose the second one." After thinking it through, she opened her eyes and said to Immortal Venerable Canglan.

"Are you sure? The second one has slower cultivation speed initially, and you might fall behind others." Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise as he confirmed again.

"I’m sure." Gu Qingqing nodded, "Don’t worry, Master. My cultivation speed is very fast. Considering the long term, the second one is definitely better." Gu Qingqing didn’t hide her thoughts from the others and expressed them openly.

Hearing this, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.

Actually, between the two Cultivation Techniques, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan preferred the second one. Although it’s said that the cultivation speed is slower, the foundation is much more solid, whereas the first one falls short, which is not suitable for someone like Gu Qingqing.

"Alright, then go with the second one. The content has already been given to you. Go back and cultivate well, and strive to reach the Upper Heavenly Immortal by the end of the year." He nodded, advising Gu Qingqing.

"Yes, this disciple remembers." Gu Qingqing was still quite confident. After all, there were a few months left until the end of the year, and even if she didn’t reach Upper Heavenly Immortal by then, there were other ways to cope.

Immortal Venerable Hao Lan spoke a few more words with Gu Qingqing before letting her leave.

"Mingyu, what do you think of your junior sister?" After Gu Qingqing left, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan picked up the cup of tea on the table and asked Lou Mingyu beside him.

"She has potential; her future achievements won’t be low." Lou Mingyu might be cold towards people, but his intelligence was high, and he was quite good at judging people, having his own technique for assessment.

With Lou Mingyu’s response, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan was obviously pleased, "Geng Geng’s aptitude is even a bit more impressive than yours, so her future achievements naturally won’t be low!"

Hearing this, Lou Mingyu’s eyes flickered. He had also heard rumors about Gu Qingqing and her companions, knowing that their aptitudes were of top Immortal Rank and very rare, and he had likewise heard that Gu Qingqing and her companions were quite arrogant, not regarding ordinary disciples after joining the sect. He was initially skeptical, and after meeting Gu Qingqing, felt more inclined to believe that someone was deliberately spreading false rumors about Gu Qingqing.

"Did you gain anything from your recent outing?" After discussing Gu Qingqing, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan’s attention shifted to Lou Mingyu, asking with concern.

"A bit, but still unable to break through." At this mention, even the calm Lou Mingyu couldn’t help but frown.

He had been progressing smoothly in his cultivation before but had been stuck at the Golden Immortal level for a year. Not long ago, he went out for training, hoping to find an opportunity for a breakthrough, and returned only after receiving a sect message informing him that he would have a new junior sister, wanting to see what Gu Qingqing was like.

"The matter of cultivation should not be rushed. Since you’re back, don’t go out in the near future; help me keep an eye on your junior sister’s cultivation."
