My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 369 - 49: The Outcome [Second Update]

Zhao Qian appeared worried, wanting to say a few more words to stop Qi Shengtian’s idea, but before he could speak, Yue Zhao interrupted him.

"Elder Zhao, I understand your concerns, but what you’re saying is merely speculation. If we don’t take action against the Huang Family, the situation I mentioned earlier will undoubtedly occur. Therefore, we actually have only one choice, which is to teach the Huang Family a lesson." Yue Zhao looked directly at Zhao Qian, his smile deepening slightly. Even though he had the warmest demeanor, it made Zhao Qian shiver.

Zhao Qian hadn’t interacted much with Yue Zhao before, but he knew a little about him. Unlike Si Lin, who uses fists as his means, Yue Zhao is completely one to kill invisibly. If you offend Si Lin, at least you know who your opponent is, but if you offend Yue Zhao, you wouldn’t even know how you died!

Previously, he thought it was just an exaggeration from others, but now facing Yue Zhao, he finally felt the chilling murderous intent beneath the other’s perfect smile. His previously hesitant heart instantly steadied.

"I understand," he looked at Qi Shengtian, "Sect Master, let’s handle this as you said. Give the Huang Family a lesson, let everyone in Tianqi City know that we of the Haoran Sect are not to be provoked!"

Including Qi Shengtian, everyone was surprised when they saw Zhao Qian change his mind.

They had already discussed this matter several times before Yue Zhao and Si Lin returned, but each time it was brought to a halt by Elder Zhao Qian’s opposition. They didn’t expect Zhao Qian to agree so easily this time.

Those who knew Zhao Qian’s temperament couldn’t help but focus their gaze on Yue Zhao, wondering what method he employed to make Zhao Qian change his mind.

Facing everyone’s gaze, Yue Zhao remained calm, the curve of his lips unchanged.

"Alright, since Elder Zhao has agreed, let’s discuss how to deal with the Huang Family," Qi Shengtian was also surprised but more pleased. It had been hard enough to get Zhao Qian’s agreement; he immediately wanted to strike while the iron was hot and finalize the matter to prevent Zhao Qian from changing his mind later.

The discussion in the council hall resumed, with Si Lin sitting silently in his position, quietly listening to the others’ discussion, while Yue Zhao occasionally spoke. Although he spoke little, each time he hit the nail on the head, providing Qi Shengtian and the others with many insights, making those present who didn’t know much about him realize his prowess.

They discussed for an hour and a half before ironing out all the details. Qi Shengtian then assigned tasks to the crowd, allowing everyone to disperse.

If it weren’t for Qi Shengtian’s presence, Si Lin and Yue Zhao would have left long ago. Hearing Qi Shengtian say they could leave, they greeted him and exited the council hall, heading down the mountain as quickly as they could.

...

After Gu Qingqing and the others came out, they also stayed in the courtyard where Si Lin and his group resided, even inviting Lou Mingyu over.

After Si Lin and Yue Zhao were called away, everyone went about their own time, waiting for the two to return.

Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu played a game of chess in the pavilion, with the black and white pieces occupying half of the board, locked in intense battle, while both Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu had very serious expressions.

Nan Hua was studying his new array, while Mu Chen locked himself in the room practicing alchemy. During their time in Tianqi Forest, they found a lot of herbs, all handed over to Mu Chen.

When Si Lin and Yue Zhao returned, Jun Wu had won over Gu Qingqing by one move, and Nan Hua had memorized the method of drawing the new array in his mind, while Mu Chen had concocted a furnace of Immortal Recovery Pills, mainly used to restore immortal power. For those like Gu Qingqing in the True Immortal Realm, just one pill could restore seventy percent of their immortal power. Beyond that, the recovery effect diminishes.

As soon as the concocted elixirs were distributed to Gu Qingqing and the others, Si Lin and Jun Wu returned.

"Senior brother, what did the Haoran Sect’s Sect Master want you for?" Gu Qingqing asked curiously, somewhat upset at losing the chess game, seeing Si Lin and Yue Zhao return.

"Do you remember the day we reunited when someone tried to snatch Illusion Moon Grass from the people of Haoran Sect?" Si Lin tidied Gu Qingqing’s hair, "Those people were from the Huang Family, a second-rate family in Tianqi City. While we were gone, the Huang Family kept causing trouble for Haoran Sect. The Sect Master wanted to teach them a lesson, but some elders disagreed. It was only after we arrived that the decision was made to deal with the Huang Family." Naturally, Si Lin had no reason to hide anything from Gu Qingqing and explained the matter directly.

"How can the Huang Family be so bold?" Gu Qingqing was surprised after hearing it, "I heard that Haoran Sect is considered a top power in Tianqi City, while the Huang Family is only a second-rate power. Yet they dare to provoke Haoran Sect repeatedly?"

"Yeah, the Huang Family must have some nerve, or are they seeking death?" Nan Hua chimed in, following Gu Qingqing’s words.

"This is definitely not just the Huang Family’s idea. There must be other forces behind them. There are many forces in Tianqi City, and they are constantly at odds with each other. Yet, they’ve been relatively peaceful over the years. Now that the Huang Family issue has arisen, someone must be unable to hold back," Yue Zhao said while pouring himself a glass of water, explaining to Gu Qingqing while sipping it.

"Then the Huang Family is really sick, becoming others’ pawn yet so actively. It’s quite impressive." Yue Zhao’s words made Gu Qingqing understand his point, and thus she found the Huang Family’s behavior even more incomprehensible.

If she were the head of the Huang Family, she would never so blatantly provoke the Haoran Sect. After all, Haoran Sect is much stronger than the Huang Family. If Haoran Sect takes action, the forces behind the Huang Family may not be able to help them!

"In any case, the Huang Family definitely won’t end well this time. The Sect Master of Haoran Sect is not one to be trifled with and will surely make things difficult for the Huang Family!" Yue Zhao held no fondness for the Huang Family, and he seemed a bit gleeful in their misfortune.

"So what do you want to do, senior brother? Is there anything we can help with?" Gu Qingqing asked eagerly, looking at Si Lin.

They had all just advanced to the True Immortal Realm recently, making them the most powerful among the younger generation in Tianqi City, so they were itching for a fight.

"Since the people of Haoran Sect will handle it, there’s not much my senior brother and I need to do. You all just need to rest well." Yue Zhao playfully ruffled Gu Qingqing’s hair, smiling as he said this.

Gu Qingqing was a bit disappointed but didn’t say much. After all, it was a matter between Haoran Sect and the Huang Family, not closely related to her. If she rashly got involved, it could easily lead to issues.
