My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 452 - 132: [First Update]

When Rong Ye opened his eyes, he found himself in the jungle. Fortunately, there were no spirit beasts around him. He looked around and, after confirming there was no danger, he summoned the Heavenly Awakening Record. After swiftly forming seals with his hands, a special talisman flew out from the Heavenly Awakening Record.

He took out a brocade bag from his storage space, carefully opened it, took out a strand of hair from inside, then closed the brocade bag and put it away.

With a wave of his hand, the red talisman flew into his hand. He immediately placed the hair onto the talisman, bit his fingertip, and let a drop of blood fall onto the talisman. A golden light flashed on the talisman, and soon after, both the blood and hair disappeared. The red talisman instantly became transparent, wavered in the air, then flew off in one direction.

Rong Ye’s eyes lit up, and he promptly followed behind the talisman.

This talisman, named "Tracking Talisman," appeared after he advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm. The illusion realms in the Immortal Realm are quite unique; the talismans he refined in the Sub-immortal Realm for communication were useless here in the Immortal Realm. Even the Tracking Talisman couldn’t be used. Only because it came from the Heavenly Awakening Record was he able to use it; no one else could.

Before entering the Secret Realm, he specially asked for a strand of hair from each of Gu Qingqing and others. Just now, the hair he placed on it belonged to Gu Qingqing. He definitely wanted to find Gu Qingqing first, and now the talisman is leading him in her direction.

...

Gu Qingqing and Little Yu had been walking in the forest for barely half an hour before they encountered a cluster of Ding Lan Flowers. Ding Lan Flowers are a sixth-rank Immortal Flower and one of the ingredients for refining the Clear Spirit Pill. The Clear Spirit Pill can help maintain clarity of mind, which is extremely useful when promoting, as it can significantly increase the success rate of promotion.

"Looks like we’re pretty lucky. Let’s keep looking; if we can find more ingredients for refining the Clear Spirit Pill, we can take them back to Fourth Senior Brother and have him make some. That would be a good thing!" Gu Qingqing placed Little Yu aside, crouched down, and carefully picked the Ding Lan Flowers while chatting with Little Yu.

Little Yu had no interest in this level of herbs and lazily nodded while stretching its arms in response to Gu Qingqing’s words.

Gu Qingqing quickly gathered the Ding Lan Flowers, then picked up Little Yu and continued walking forward.

After about a quarter of an hour, she came to a small stream and let Little Yu take care of itself. She went over to wash her hands and face, took out a water bottle, and filled it with some water. Just as she was about to leave, she heard hurried footsteps.

She paused, exchanged a glance with Little Yu, which immediately jumped back into her arms. She looked around, then jumped onto a big tree to hide among the branches and leaves, cautiously observing the movements below.

There appeared a somewhat disheveled woman at the spot where she had just stood. The woman wore the attire of a direct disciple of the Star Palace, similar to what Rong Ye had worn when Gu Qingqing last saw him. Petite and incredibly cute, her hair was disheveled, her clothes somewhat torn, and there were traces of blood on her cheeks and clothes, suggesting she had just been in a battle.

This woman was Su Xi, who had overheard Song Xinrong and Mu Xingqi talking at the tavern earlier. Upon entering the Secret Realm, she unfortunately encountered a Black Flame Fierce Leopard of the Golden Immortal Realm. Being at the peak of the Taiyi True Immortal Realm, her chances against the Black Flame Fierce Leopard were slim. Fortunately, the leopard was already injured, allowing her to win by luck. Otherwise, she might have died.

Su Xi looked around and, finding no spirit beasts or other people, breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head, washed her face at the stream, and cleaned her wounds carefully before applying medicine and bandaging them. Once relaxed, she collapsed onto the grass beside her, exhaling a long breath.

Gu Qingqing stroked Little Yu’s neck, pondering when Su Xi would leave and whether she should go down.

Su Xi hadn’t rested on the grass for long before the sound of footsteps came again, causing both Su Xi and Gu Qingqing to frown.

Whether it was good feng shui or some other reason, though the Secret Realm was vast and only 500 to 600 people had entered, making encounters should be rare. Yet, in just a short while, first Gu Qingqing, then Su Xi had appeared here, and now someone else was coming. It’s a bit much.

Su Xi hesitated on the ground, stood up, glanced around, and finally fixed her gaze on a big tree. Then, with a light tap of her toes, she leaped onto the tree.

Unluckily, the tree she chose was precisely where Gu Qingqing had hidden. When Su Xi’s gaze turned in this direction, Gu Qingqing had a sense of foreboding, and as Su Xi jumped up, Gu Qingqing couldn’t help but rub her forehead, slightly exasperated.

Once Su Xi landed, before she steadied herself, Gu Qingqing grabbed her, pinching her neck with one hand and covering her mouth with the other.

"Don’t make a sound, I mean no harm." Gu Qingqing whispered into Su Xi’s ear as she held her close.

Su Xi was initially shocked and instinctively wanted to scream, but Gu Qingqing’s hand over her mouth stopped her. Hearing Gu Qingqing’s voice and realizing it was a woman holding her, she relaxed slightly and nodded gently.

At that moment, a figure appeared below, causing both Gu Qingqing and Su Xi to freeze.

In the Secret Realm, besides one’s own, no one else could be trusted. That’s why both Gu Qingqing and Su Xi’s first reaction upon discovering someone approaching was to hide; neither wanted to encounter anyone other than their own. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Sometimes, human hearts can be more dangerous than the spirit beasts in the forest.

The person below them was a man, whose attire didn’t belong to the disciples of the Four Great Immortal Sects or any well-known sect, indicating he was likely a loose cultivator.

The man washed his face at the stream, drank some water, rested briefly, and then hurried away.

After the man left, Gu Qingqing pulled Su Xi down from the tree to the ground.

"Gu Qingqing from Langya Immortal Sect, I apologize for the offense just now, and I hope the young lady can forgive me." Gu Qingqing released Su Xi and stepped back a few steps, cupping her hands towards Su Xi.

Su Xi was originally a bit angry, but upon seeing Gu Qingqing’s face, she was surprised and blurted out, "It’s you?"

"The young lady knows me?" Gu Qingqing raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Xi a few more times, confirming she hadn’t seen Su Xi before.

Su Xi covered her mouth, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I saw you before in Yuwan City when you were stopped by Mu Xingqi from Bihai Heavenly Palace." Luckily, when Gu Qingqing was blocked by Song Xinrong and Mu Xingqi, she was also there, otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to explain.

Should she tell Gu Qingqing, "I heard your junior sister speaking ill of you, and I was so curious that I went to see what you looked like"? It’s better not to let Gu Qingqing know about such an awkward thing.

Gu Qingqing suddenly realized, on that day they were on the street in front of a tavern, with many onlookers around. She hadn’t paid special attention to who was there, so not recognizing Su Xi was normal.

"I just offended you, I hope you won’t be angry." Gu Qingqing apologized to Su Xi again, but this time her attitude was a bit more casual.

"It’s okay, it’s okay," Su Xi quickly waved her hand, "I know you didn’t want us to be discovered by others."

She was just startled earlier because it was so sudden, but later she quickly realized why Gu Qingqing did it. Although she was a bit angry, she knew that if it were her, she would have done the same at that moment.

After all, if she went up and found someone above, she would definitely scream, and if someone heard the scream, their purpose of hiding would be defeated.

Seeing Su Xi being so easygoing, Gu Qingqing’s face couldn’t help but show a smile.

Seeing Gu Qingqing smile, Su Xi was amazed. Earlier, she was too surprised to really notice Gu Qingqing’s appearance. Now she found out that Gu Qingqing was really too beautiful. Although she already thought Gu Qingqing was very beautiful when she saw her at the tavern entrance, now with Gu Qingqing’s smile, she found her even more beautiful.

"Is there something on my face?" Gu Qingqing, seeing Su Xi staring at her face, was taken aback and touched her face, asking Su Xi puzzledly.

"No, nothing," Su Xi answered, startled.

"Then why are you staring at me?" Gu Qingqing asked.

Upon hearing this, Su Xi’s face turned bright red, looking a bit embarrassed, "It’s because your smile is so beautiful, it mesmerized me."

After saying this, Su Xi directly covered her face with both hands, feeling too embarrassed to look at Gu Qingqing, thinking she was really too hopeless.

Since she was young, she liked two things: beauties and food. When seeing these two things, she often couldn’t move, and because of them, Su Yan had scolded her many times, but she just couldn’t change.

At this moment, she felt somewhat ashamed, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Pfft!" Gu Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh at Su Xi’s reaction, especially seeing how Su Xi was now covering her face with a shy expression.

It was the first time she met such a cute girl like Su Xi, feeling it was quite refreshing.

Gu Qingqing herself also liked beauties, but she just appreciated them, not like Su Xi, who would become dumbfounded when looking at someone.

"Judging by your clothes, are you a disciple of the Star Palace?" Feeling amused, Gu Qingqing rarely had the thought of befriending Su Xi and pointed to Su Xi’s clothes, asking.

Su Xi removed her hands, looked at her own clothes, and then nodded, "I am a disciple of the Star Palace, my name is Su Xi."

"Su Xi? What a nice name, just like you." Gu Qingqing looked at Su Xi and said with a smile.

"Is it, really?" Su Xi was once again dazzled by Gu Qingqing’s smile, looking dazed.
