My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 493 - 173: [Second Update]

"Did you feel it just now? Those hostile gazes?" After entering the room at the inn, a few people gathered in Si Lin’s room, and Nan Hua asked the others while fanning himself.

"So obvious, how could we not feel it?" Mu Chen took out tea leaves from the Qiankun Ring, brewing tea while answering Nan Hua’s question.

"Those people must think of us as fat sheep, it seems no matter where we go, we won’t be short of such people." Gu Qingqing curled her lips, holding Immortal Fruit Juice, expressing some dissatisfaction with such existence.

"Some people work hard in cultivation, naturally, some want to take shortcuts, it’s nothing unusual." Jun Wu helped Gu Qingqing tidy her hair by her temples, speaking in a calm tone.

"But it seems their eyesight is not great either, daring to target us." Nan Hua stopped fanning, shook his head, seeming to feel pity for those people.

"It’s also fine, if they dare to make a move, we’ll be doing justice for the people." Gu Qingqing clenched her fist, a smile curling on her lips, but her eyes were cold.

"No need to bother with those people, after days of travel, everyone’s tired, let’s rest first and deal with them if they do make a move." Si Lin took the tea Mu Chen handed him, sipped it, and looked at Gu Qingqing and the others before saying.

"Indeed, let’s rest well, if they plan to make a move, it would be late at night, let’s recover first." Yue Zhao smiled, agreeing with Si Lin.

Gu Qingqing and the others exchanged glances, nodded, and then dispersed, returning to their rooms.

It wasn’t dark yet; they didn’t plan to sleep, just lay on the bed with eyes closed, resting. About an hour later, Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu called the others to go out for food.

Dragon Taming Town wasn’t big, but it had a full range of shops, Elixir Medicine Shop, Magic Artifact Shop, talisman shop... everything was available. Those who had been in the mountains all day had returned to Dragon Taming Town, some with a good harvest, looking vibrant and full of smiles, while others gained nothing, their faces not looking good.

Some were injured, bearing wounds, their faces gloomy. Gu Qingqing and her companions even saw someone being carried on a stretcher, passing by them. The person on it looked in bad shape. Mu Chen glanced sideways, eyes flashing, then retracted his gaze.

Besides, many were setting up stalls on the streets. Some who obtained things in the mountains preferred not to sell to shops or trades, hence they set up street stalls, and business wasn’t bad.

As Gu Qingqing and her companions walked, they saw many stalls, but there wasn’t much that caught their interest, since they lacked nothing now, and the things suitable for their level of cultivation wouldn’t be found on street stalls.

When reaching the center of the street, Gu Qingqing noticed the tavern she thought was nice before, and was about to call Si Lin and the others over, when out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone rushing over, running straight towards her.

Jun Wu, beside her, noticed the person earlier. As the person closed in, he wrapped his arm around Gu Qingqing’s waist, spinning them aside, letting the person brush past him. Surprise flashed in the person’s eyes. Out of sight, he gritted his teeth and fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and rolling in pain.

"Third Brother, what happened?" Another figure rushed over suddenly, strong and tall, in rough cloth clothing, which displayed his muscles, seemingly with not low cultivation. He squatted beside the person on the ground, half-embraced him, looking pained and shouted at him, while also looking at Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, "What did you do to my Third Brother?"

Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu felt something was off when the man rushed over. Seeing they hadn’t touched the man, yet he lay on the ground claiming pain, two words flashed in their minds: "premeditated scam"!

Evidently, this was a well-planned scam!

And the two in front were not new to this; their actions were very skilled.

"What do you mean we did something to your Third Brother?" Gu Qingqing encountered such a situation once years ago on Xuantian Continent and found it rather novel to encounter again in the Immortal Realm. She looked at the two with interest and asked.

"My Third Brother didn’t deliberately bump into you, yet you injured him. You’re just bullying us! You pompous young masters and ladies, you don’t regard us common folks. My Third Brother is pitiful!" The robust man held the continually wailing frail man, looking very emotional, his expression filled with sorrow, as if Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu really did something unforgivable.

The crowd, some recognizing the pair, exchanged whispers, while others pointed fingers at Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, their gazes filled with scorn, clearly not speaking kindly.

The robust man saw most people siding with them, a glint of pride flashed in his eyes, continuing to look sorrowful at Gu Qingqing and her companions.

"Are you sure we did something to your brother? Or did your brothers scam us? Why don’t you let your good third brother say what exactly we did to him?" Gu Qingqing turned a deaf ear to the crowd’s discussion, merely watching the two perform quietly, then spoke in a calm tone.

For some reason, upon hearing Gu Qingqing’s words, the robust man shivered, feeling a tinge of fear. But he quickly dismissed it as mistaken perception, looking at the still groaning frail man.

"Third Brother, what did they do to you?" He spoke, intentionally glancing at Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, "Don’t be afraid, with so many people here, they dare not bully you."

"They hit, hit me," the frail man held onto the robust man’s sleeve, pointing at Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, then quickly curled up again, seemingly afraid to look at them, "My stomach really hurts. Second Brother, don’t provoke them, in case..." he left his words unfinished, vague yet with fear, glancing at Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, obviously afraid of their retaliation.

Seeing this, Gu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, almost applauding the acting skills of the two.

"Third brother, don’t be afraid. They are powerful, but we don’t have to fear them. Since they’ve hurt you, it can’t be let go. Don’t worry, second brother will get justice for you." The robust man patted the frail man, speaking righteously.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

A round of applause suddenly sounded, Gu Qingqing looked at the two, clapping lightly, a hint of a smile on her face.

"You two acted quite well, pity you picked the wrong people!" Her expression turned cold, and she looked sharply at the two.
