My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 361 - 41: Little Glutton [Second Update]

Chapter Forty-one

"Since you’re so sincere, Second Brother, I’ll forgive you." Gu Qingqing said with a pout, glancing at Yue Zhao with an air of arrogance.

Yue Zhao, seeing Gu Qingqing’s demeanor, shook his head with a smile and patted her head, "You really haven’t changed at all."

They hadn’t seen each other for over half a year. Yue Zhao had been worried they might feel a bit distant, but now he realized the bond they shared over the years was truly incomparable. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"But Second Brother has changed, just like Fifth Brother, always teasing me." Gu Qingqing pouted, still somewhat dissatisfied with Yue Zhao’s earlier actions.

"Alright, I bought a lot of jewelry you like recently. Here, take it as a peace offering." Yue Zhao took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Gu Qingqing, speaking dotingly.

"That’s more like it." Gu Qingqing tried hard to suppress the smile that wanted to surface, took the Storage Bag from Yue Zhao’s hand, and without looking at it, put it away directly.

"Geng Geng, judging by your clothes, are you now direct disciples of the Langya Immortal Sect?" Yue Zhao glanced at the clothes of the four of them, his tone rising in surprise.

"Yes," Gu Qingqing nodded, "the four of us have all joined the Langya Immortal Sect. I am the direct disciple of Sect Master, Immortal Venerable Hao Lan, Ah Wu is the direct disciple of the Peak Master of Linghua Peak, the Third Brother is the direct disciple of the Peak Master of Tianyi Peak, and the Fourth Brother is the direct disciple of the Peak Master Cang Mufeng. This time we came to Tianqi City firstly to break through to the True Immortal Realm, and secondly to look for news about our senior brothers."

She repeated the words she had exchanged with Si Lin on the way, summarizing briefly the situation after she and Jun Wu arrived in the Immortal Realm.

"That’s good then. Langya Immortal Sect is one of the four major Immortal Sects. As direct disciples, you now have backing, so Senior Brother and I don’t have to worry anymore." Yue Zhao nodded after hearing Gu Qingqing’s explanation, speaking with a smile.

The reason he and Si Lin joined the Haoran Sect was to have a voice in the Immortal Realm so that if anything happened in the future, they could protect Gu Qingqing and the others. Now that they knew Gu Qingqing had solid backing, he and Si Lin could rest easier.

Si Lin nodded in agreement with Yue Zhao’s words.

"Senior Brothers, don’t you want to join a sect too?" Gu Qingqing looked at Si Lin and then at Yue Zhao and asked, "With your qualifications, no matter which sect you go to, you would become direct disciples like us, and you wouldn’t have to work so hard."

This was a thought that struck Gu Qingqing after hearing Si Lin mention their joining the Haoran Sect, and she couldn’t help but ask.

With Si Lin and Yue Zhao’s qualifications, they were certainly not lower than Gu Qingqing’s; no sect would refuse them. This way, Gu Qingqing wouldn’t have to worry about Si Lin anymore.

"No need," Si Lin directly refused Gu Qingqing’s proposal, glancing at Yue Zhao, "You can stay peacefully in the Langya Immortal Sect. Yue Zhao and I have already chosen our path. The Haoran Sect suits us better now."

"That’s right. Senior Brother and I are doing just fine here, so you don’t need to worry about us." Yue Zhao nodded, touching Gu Qingqing’s head, and said with a smile.

Gu Qingqing looked at the two of them, knowing that once they made up their minds, no one could change it. Besides, Si Lin and Yue Zhao were much more experienced and capable than she was. Since they chose to stay in the Haoran Sect, they must have their own reasons, so she didn’t persist.

"Alright then, as long as you know what you’re doing," she said, looking around the courtyard and noticing how well arranged it was, "Did you guys buy this house yourselves?"

"Yes, Senior Brother and I bought it after settling down in Tianqi City, and we arranged it ourselves. How is it?" Yue Zhao nodded, pointing around and asking Gu Qingqing.

"The two brothers have excellent taste. It’s very well arranged here," Gu Qingqing nodded, praising, "We also have a house in Purple Sunset City, but now the cave dwellings in Langya Immortal Sect are pretty good too. You guys should definitely come and see it sometime."

"We certainly will." A subtle gleam flashed in Yue Zhao’s eyes as he said this with a smile.

The Langya Immortal Sect had a good reputation in the Immortal Realm, but Yue Zhao thought it would be more reassuring to see it for himself with Si Lin.

Si Lin shared the same thoughts and nodded in agreement.

"Enough about that, today’s a day to celebrate our reunion. Let’s celebrate. It just so happens that Senior Brother caught a few Silver Thread Fish yesterday. This fish is a specialty of Tianqi City, its Immortal Qi is quite pure, and the flesh is tender, with hardly any bones. Let’s try it together." Yue Zhao remembered Senior Brother mentioning yesterday while catching fish that Gu Qingqing would like it, and now seeing her today, couldn’t help but smile.

"Sure, it’s been a long time since I tasted Second Brother’s cooking." Gu Qingqing’s eyes lit up with anticipation as she spoke.

"You, even at this age, are still such a little foodie." Yue Zhao was amused by Gu Qingqing’s eager expression, gently poking her nose and teasing her.

Gu Qingqing scrunched her nose and stuck out her tongue at Yue Zhao.

To care for Gu Qingqing, each of them became quite skilled in cooking and had their own specialties.

The Silver Thread Fish is entirely black, with a silver thread running the length of its body. Although not very attractive, Jun Wu was in charge of preparing it. With a kitchen knife in hand, he moved his wrist swiftly, leaving only afterimages due to his speed. By the time he put down the knife, the Silver Thread Fish looked intact, but in reality, it had been sliced into very thin pieces.

To ensure the fish’s freshness, Yue Zhao opted for poaching.

The fish was indeed tender, and Gu Qingqing ate with obvious enjoyment.

"If you like it, Geng Geng, I’ll catch a few more tomorrow." Si Lin set down his chopsticks and said to Gu Qingqing.

"Great, where did you catch these Silver Thread Fish, Senior Brother? Take me along," Gu Qingqing, still quite fond of Silver Thread Fish and a bit curious, quickly responded to Si Lin’s suggestion.

"Sure, we’ll go together tomorrow." Si Lin, naturally willing to fulfill all of Gu Qingqing’s wishes, replied without hesitation.

After finishing the fish, they gathered to chat. Gu Qingqing and the others naturally stayed at the house where Si Lin and Yue Zhao were living. The next morning, after breakfast, they set off together for Tianqi Forest.

Gu Qingqing had previously arranged to meet Lou Mingyu at the Tianqi Forest in the morning, so by the time they arrived at the forest entrance, Lou Mingyu was already waiting there.

"Senior Brother, have you been waiting long?" Gu Qingqing quickly walked to Lou Mingyu’s side and asked.
