I Have Five Senior Brothers - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Worried

Jun Wu, Zhuo Tingqiu and the others instantly became nervous. Only Mu Chen, after being nervous for a moment, actually revealed a smile.

“Tsk tsk, Little Four, what have you experienced to become like this?” As a lazy voice sounded, a red figure appeared in front of Mu Chen and the others.

The person was dressed in red, and his long hair was tied loosely behind his head with a similar-colored headband. His long and narrow phoenix-like eyes were slightly raised, giving off a unique charm.

He held a fan in his hand, and the hand that held the fan was very slender. His knuckles were clear, and it was a pair of hands that would even make girls envy.

His appearance was very outstanding, and there was a kind of androgynous beauty that made Zhuo Tingqiu and his subordinates stunned.

Before Mu Chen could say anything, Nan Hua saw Gu Qingqing in Mu Chen’s arms. Seeing Gu Qingqing’s pale face, his expression changed.

He took a step forward and came in front of Mu Chen.

“What happened to Qingqing? Is she injured?” Nan Hua’s expression was not very good, and he looked at Mu Chen with a hint of reproach.

“It’s not very serious,” In order to prevent Nan Hua from slapping his face on the spot, Mu Chen quickly explained, “We accidentally bumped into the nine neonate, and she used the power of the spirit of speech gently. Her spiritual power was exhausted and her meridians were slightly damaged. It’s the same as when she was brought back by Little Five. We’ll be fine after we go back and recuperate.”

Hearing this, Nan Hua’s heart finally relaxed.

He opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it. “You brought little Qingqing out and caused her to be lightly injured. I’m afraid you’ll suffer when we go back!”

Thinking of Si Lin and Yue Zhao, Mu Chen’s expression stiffened and then turned into a bitter smile.

“Since little Qingqing is injured, let’s go back to the sect now.” Knowing that Mu Chen had understood what he meant, Nan Hua glanced at the sky and said.

“Not yet. This guy knows little Qingqing. We have to send them out first. Otherwise, she will be angry when she wakes up.” Mu Chen still remembered Zhuo Tingqiu and the others. He knew that Gu Qingqing was still interested in Zhuo Tingqiu, so he said.

Only then did Nan Hua turn his gaze to Zhuo Tingqiu and the others. When he saw the miserable state of these people, he could not help but shake his head.

“Alright, I’ll send them out. You should take little Qingqing back quickly.” He put away his folding fan and said without any room for refusal.

Mu Chen was more than happy to agree immediately.

Nan Hua saw that it was inconvenient for Mu Chen to carry Gu Qingqing, so he summoned two cranes. After Mu Chen and the others boarded the cranes and left, he turned to look at Zhuo Tingqiu and the others.

“Alright, let’s leave quickly. The mountains are not safe at night. We have to leave quickly.” After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and took the lead to leave.

When Gu Qingqing left, Zhuo Tingqiu had wanted to leave with her. However, after two consecutive encounters, he also knew that Gu Qingqing’s sect should be one of those reclusive sects. Furthermore, her senior brothers were all very powerful. If he proposed to go, he would definitely be rejected. Moreover, after two crises, Zhuo Tingqiu had a strong desire to improve his strength.

When his subordinate looked over, he nodded and took the lead to follow Nan Hua.

Nan Hua heard the footsteps behind him and finally nodded in satisfaction. He was quite satisfied with Zhuo Tingqiu’s reaction.

..

The immortal cranes brought Mu Chen and the others back to his fourth peaks. Mu Chen had just settled Gu Qingqing in her room when the others who had been informed by Nan Hua that Gu Qingqing was injured immediately rushed over.

In just a moment, the small room was filled with people.

“How is little Qingqing?”Seeing Gu Qingqing drink the elixir, Wen Guiyun asked first.

“After eating the elixir, she just needs to rest for two days.” Mu Chen answered honestly.

“Tell me, what exactly is going on?” Although Wen Guiyun tried his best to suppress it, his stern face still showed that he was a little angry.

After Wen Guiyun and the others appeared, Mu Chen knew that something like this would happen and did not dare to hide it. He directly told them everything that happened after they left.

After hearing that, besides Mu Chen and Jun Wu, everyone present frowned.

“It seems that the barrier of the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland is getting thinner and thinner. The nine neonate must have been sealed in a crack in space and you guys encountered it. I think there will be many similar incidents in the future. All of you should pay more attention and be careful when you leave.” Wen Guiyun’s gaze swept across his disciples, and he said worriedly.

The others understood what Wen Guiyun meant. Their cultivation had already exceeded the limit of the Mysterious Sky Continent. If it was not because the barrier between the Mysterious Sky Continent and the other worlds was getting thinner, they would not have taken the opportunity to come here.

“Alright, since little Qingqing’s injuries are not too serious, you can all leave. Come and see her when she wakes up.” Wen Guiyun glanced at Gu Qingqing, waved his sleeves and took the lead to leave.

The others looked at each other. Other than Mu Chen and Jun Wu, all of them left the room.

Knowing that Jun Wu only had a good relationship with her in the Hidden Spirit Mountain, Mu Chen gave him a few instructions and left her room.

After everyone left, Jun Wu stood by the bed and looked at Gu Qingqing on the bed. His eyes flashed with a trace of contemplation.

He did not expect Gu Qingqing’s talent to be Yan Ling. This kind of talent only existed in legends. In the world he knew, it had never appeared before. He did not expect her to have it.

Previously, he was worried about what would happen if Gu Qingqing could not speak. Now, he was worried about what would happen if she was discovered by others.

Fortunately, she still had Wen Guiyun and the others to protect her. He knew that her senior brothers were not simple. With these people protecting her, Gu Qingqing should be fine!

..

At this moment, Gu Qingqing, who was being worried about by everyone, was not completely asleep. After she fainted, she did lose consciousness for a while. However, after that, there was a voice in her mind calling for her.

When she woke up, she found herself underwater.

She was in a huge bubble. Because of the existence of this bubble, not only could she walk freely in the water, but she could also breathe freely!

She felt that it was a little strange and walked forward, wanting to see what the underwater world looked like.

Along the way, she saw all kinds of water plants, rocks and fish. She came before a huge object.

After seeing its appearance, Gu Qingqing widened her eyes and retreated.

The object that appeared in front of her was the nine neonate that they had met before!

However, the nine neonate seemed to have fallen asleep and did not notice Gu Qingqing’s existence.

Gu Qingqing stood on the spot for a while. Seeing that the nine neonate really did not notice her, and then remembering that she was dreaming, she could not help but walk past the nine neonate.

At the bottom of the water, she finally saw clearly what was binding the nine neonate. It was a chain made of runes that was tightly bound to the nine neonate’s body, making it unable to move.

She had learned runes from Rong Ye before. Just as she approached the chains and wanted to see what the runes on them were, red runes suddenly flew out from the chains and flew towards her.
