My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!

Chapter 222 - 90: Confidante

The Sub-immortal Realm competition is a grand event in the Sub-immortal Realm, where all sects besides the Demon Path participate. After all, the rewards for the competition are quite generous, and for young people, it is a great opportunity to make a name in the Sub-immortal Realm, as the entire realm focuses on this grand event.Therefore, the airport of Cloud Peak City is quite lively at this time, with flying artifacts arriving every day from various parts of the Sub-immortal Realm.

From a distance, Cloud Peak City appears to be floating in the air, with numerous buildings standing tall, creating a spectacular sight.

Once you arrive at the airport, you’ll find Cloud Peak City to be extremely bustling, even more so than any other place in the Sub-immortal Realm.

Its main street is very wide, capable of accommodating six carriages side by side. The ground is laid with white stone slabs, kept meticulously clean, with many shops lining both sides of the street, offering a variety of goods. Each shop’s signboard is quite unique, making them memorable at a glance.

When Gu Qingqing and the others arrived in the afternoon, the sun had already set, and the sky turned somewhat dim. The lanterns at the shop entrances were lit, illuminating the entire city with a unique charm.

Moreover, the people coming in and out are almost all cultivators, most of them with cultivation levels above Grade Five. The city’s defense forces are reportedly manned by disciples of the White Tiger Sacred Land on a rotational basis, all with cultivation levels above Grade Seven. Thus, causing trouble in Cloud Peak City is not easy. Not only would one be beaten for it, but they would also be expelled from Cloud Peak City, never to return.

Because of this, the city maintains good security.

Everyone coming to Cloud Peak City for the first time will be struck by its prosperity, just like Gu Qingqing at this moment.

"Cloud Peak City truly lives up to its reputation," Gu Qingqing took a deep breath to calm herself. She felt her eyes could hardly take it all in since entering the city, she sighed.

"Why else would it be called the jewel of the Sub-immortal Realm? This is the most prosperous place in the whole realm, with merchants gathered from all over. Beyond truly rare items, you can find anything here. There’s nothing you can’t buy!" Nan Hua waved his fan, wearing the look of a suave wanderer, and winked at Gu Qingqing.

"Besides, the girls here are particularly beautiful." Rong Ye didn’t appreciate Nan Hua’s flirtatiousness, shot him a disdainful glance, and gossiped to Gu Qingqing: "Our Third Senior Brother has many romantic acquaintances here, and this is the place he spends the most time in."

Curious, Gu Qingqing looked at Nan Hua, "Third Senior Brother, is what Fifth Senior Brother said true? Do you really have many romantic acquaintances here?"

Although she vaguely sensed from Rong Ye and Mu Chen’s conversations that Nan Hua was likely a charismatic gentleman, she heard many rumors about him after arriving in the Sub-immortal Realm. But this was the first time she directly asked Nan Hua about it, feeling curious.

Nan Hua’s smile froze for a moment, shooting an invisible glare at Rong Ye, and shook his head, "That was the old me. Ever since I met our Geng Geng, I have been accompanying her."

"Won’t your romantic acquaintances be furious?" Gu Qingqing tilted her head to look at Nan Hua, her eyes wide with curiosity.

"We just fulfill each other’s needs; what reasons do they have to be angry?" Nan Hua lightly waved his fan and spoke in a casual tone.

As he said, he and those women just met their mutual needs. If there were feelings involved, that would indeed be absent. He had always been like a butterfly flitting among the flowers without touching a leaf, and those women knew the kind of person he was, so he never cared about their thoughts. After all, he had given them quite a lot too!

This was Gu Qingqing’s first time witnessing this side of Nan Hua, she stared at Nan Hua in surprise, "Third Senior Brother, what you said makes you seem like a scumbag!"

"Haha!"

Mu Chen and Rong Ye couldn’t help but laugh, causing Nan Hua to glare at them.

With a face lined with humor and mock displeasure, Nan Hua looked at the innocent-faced Gu Qingqing, reaching out to tap her head, "Is that how you talk about your Senior Brother? Deserves a scolding!"

Although he said he would scold her, Nan Hua couldn’t bring himself to be harsh. He simply gave her a light pat, with a smile of indulgence on his lips.

Gu Qingqing covered her head and turned her cheeks puffed towards Nan Hua, then turned to Si Lin, "First Senior Brother, look at how Third Senior Brother is bullying me, he tapped my head!"

Si Lin lightly glanced at Nan Hua upon hearing Gu Qingqing’s words, successfully freezing Nan Hua’s expression.

"Nan Hua, spar with me when we reach our destination later." Si Lin said in an indifferent tone.

Nan Hua shot an annoyed glance at Gu Qingqing, who pulled a funny face at him, feeling he might explode with irritation. But tutoring Gu Qingqing? He wouldn’t dare or want to do that, simply feeling aggrieved and turning away, avoiding looking at them.

Rong Ye and Mu Chen grinned and gave thumbs up to Gu Qingqing, and when Nan Hua looked over, they pretended to be serious, though they couldn’t hide the amused glint in their eyes.

The group of seven continued walking inward, chatting while stopping to browse shops along the way, enjoying themselves immensely.

"Nan Hua?" As they reached the bottom of a teahouse, a voice full of surprise suddenly rang from above, prompting them all to look up.

At the window on the second floor, a woman was staring at Nan Hua in delight.

The woman was clad in a pastel blue wide-sleeved immortal skirt, her long hair styled into a Fei Xian Bun adorned with jade hairpins, exuding elegance.

Her appearance was dazzling and lively, and her smiling face was like a burst of light, brightening one’s perspective. At the moment, her phoenix eyes were brimming with surprise, focused intensely on Nan Hua, as if he was the only one in her sight.

"Miss Zhou." Nan Hua’s smile faded a bit, greeting the woman indifferently from below, contrary to her thrill.

"Mr. Nan, long time no see." The woman’s figure flashed, descending effortlessly from the second floor, and she gracefully greeted Nan Hua.

Nan Hua nodded with a smile, without much to say.

"I heard you returned from the Lower Realm earlier, and was keen to visit you, but you know, I can’t leave Cloud Peak City easily. Seeing you here now is wonderful; you haven’t come to see me for ages!" Miss Zhou said enthusiastically, seemingly unaffected by Nan Hua’s indifference.

"Miss Zhou, I believe I made my departure clear to you; we have no possibility. From now on, let’s just be strangers if we meet."
