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

Chapter 228 - 96: Goodbye, Lu Ying [Second Update]

"Lu Ying brother, what are you looking at?" Luo Wenxi looked fascinatedly at Lu Ying’s profile and asked curiously."Nothing, I just seemed to have seen an old acquaintance." Lu Ying turned his head, his face carrying a perfectly timed smile, "Is it boring here? Want to go for a walk?"

"Can we? Won’t we disturb you?" Luo Wenxi looked at Lu Ying with surprise, then carefully asked.

"Of course not, I’ll go with you." Lu Ying said gently as if he didn’t notice Luo Wenxi’s caution.

His appearance was originally quite outstanding, and this gentle demeanor was exactly what women liked the most, few could escape his tenderness, though there were exceptions.

Thinking of the figure he just saw, Lu Ying’s eyes flashed slightly.

Since parting ways with Qin Yi and the others, he had been wandering around, happened to hear about the grand competition, and headed towards Cloud Peak City, meeting Luo Wenxi on the way.

At that time, Luo Wenxi, due to her mischievousness, had eluded the guards her father assigned her, and ran into the forest alone, almost becoming a meal for a demon beast. It was Lu Ying who happened to pass by and saved her. Luo Wenxi was at an age when her first love blossomed; with Lu Ying appearing like a hero at her most despairing moment, and being very handsome with high cultivation, Luo Wenxi’s young heart immediately fell for Lu Ying.

She clung to Lu Ying as they left the forest together, later being found by her guards. Knowing Lu Ying also aimed to go to Cloud Peak City, she immediately invited him to join her.

She had sneaked out from home to go to Cloud Peak City. When discovered by her father, he sent guards to protect her. Those guards naturally couldn’t make decisions for Luo Wenxi, so along the way, Luo Wenxi stuck to Lu Ying’s side.

Lu Ying was also very gentle and considerate towards Luo Wenxi. Luo Wenxi already liked him, and his actions made her feelings deeper, directly becoming someone who wouldn’t marry anyone but Lu Ying.

Luo Wenxi’s identity was not simple either; she was the daughter of the Palace Master of Fengxi Palace, a top power in the Sub-immortal Realm. Due to her naturally weak constitution, her cultivation wasn’t high, and she was well protected by the Palace Master, not understanding the sinister nature of people.

Originally, once arriving at Cloud Peak City, the Palace Master had wanted Luo Wenxi to part with Lu Ying, but Luo Wenxi refused adamantly. The Palace Master couldn’t go against his daughter and agreed to let them continue to associate, though he was very cautious of Lu Ying, and always sent many guards with Luo Wenxi when she went out.

Lu Ying glanced at the guards not far away, and when Luo Wenxi wasn’t paying attention, a cold light flashed in his eyes, though his smile remained gentle when facing her.

The two walked down from the building directly onto the bustling street, full of traffic and people, which was very novel for Luo Wenxi, who stayed at Fengxi Palace for long periods. She felt as if her eyes couldn’t take it all in, though she didn’t forget to talk with Lu Ying.

They walked a distance before they encountered Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye, who were moving rather slowly.

"Xixi, I saw an old acquaintance, I’m going over to say hello." Lu Ying’s gaze completely fell on Gu Qingqing and her group, though he spoke to Luo Wenxi, for the first time not looking at her.

Luo Wenxi followed Lu Ying’s gaze and first saw Gu Qingqing standing beside Jun Wu. Gu Qingqing was very beautiful, even slightly surpassing Luo Wenxi, who was often called the most beautiful in Fengxi Palace. Thinking that Lu Ying knew Gu Qingqing, her face changed, but when she turned back to Lu Ying, she resumed her simple and infatuated expression.

"Lu Ying brother, can I go with you?" She looked at Lu Ying pitiably, her tone cautious as if afraid Lu Ying would reject her.

In this manner, most men certainly wouldn’t refuse.

Lu Ying paused, then nodded, "Of course."

He walked with Luo Wenxi towards Gu Qingqing and her group, finally stopping in front of Gu Qingqing.

"Miss Gu, we meet again. How have you been?" Lu Ying looked at Gu Qingqing, the smile on his face widening slightly. Even he hadn’t noticed that when facing Gu Qingqing, his emotions were more likely to fluctuate.

"Why is it you again?" Unlike Lu Ying’s reaction, Gu Qingqing’s smile disappeared immediately, she frowned at Lu Ying, her impatience completely undisguised.

"I didn’t expect us to be so fated, to meet again in Cloud Peak City," Lu Ying’s tone seemed regretful, but his expression didn’t match, "I wonder what it is about me that upset Miss Gu, perhaps you could tell me, so I can change. I really want to be friends with Miss Gu."

He looked at Gu Qingqing, his expression very sincere. If it were an ordinary girl, she would certainly agree to be friends with him.

Unfortunately, he was facing Gu Qingqing.

Having grown up seeing the faces of Si Lin and the others, Gu Qingqing was already immune to men’s good looks, especially as Lu Ying wasn’t any better-looking than Si Lin. Plus, her instinctive repulsion towards Lu Ying meant she naturally couldn’t believe his words.

"Sorry, I have no intention of becoming your friend." Gu Qingqing turned her head, her tone indifferent.

Lu Ying’s smile paused, then turned into a wry smile, "Does Miss Gu really dislike me that much?"

He seemed quite saddened, at least to Luo Wenxi beside him, who immediately felt very sorry for Lu Ying upon seeing his expression.

"What’s the matter with you? Lu Ying brother just said he wants to be your friend, why do you treat Lu Ying brother this way?" Luo Wenxi already felt some indescribable hostility towards Gu Qingqing, and seeing her careful treatment of Lu Ying, fearing to upset him, now made him so sad in front of her, which of course she couldn’t bear.

"Xixi, don’t say that." Lu Ying first stopped Luo Wenxi and looked apologetically at Gu Qingqing and her group, "Sorry, Xixi has been spoiled and didn’t mean to blame Miss Gu, please don’t misunderstand her."

"It doesn’t matter; after all, they are irrelevant people." Gu Qingqing glanced at Luo Wenxi, her tone indifferent.

Hearing this, Luo Wenxi’s expression turned somewhat unsightly, while Lu Ying looked quite helpless.

"Forget it, I insisted. Since Miss Gu doesn’t want me to be her friend, I can’t force her. It simply means we aren’t meant to be." Lu Ying had a wry smile, his eyes very sad.

Gu Qingqing felt nothing for Lu Ying’s sadness. To her, if Lu Ying truly followed his words and did not appear before her again, she would only be glad!

"Lu Ying brother, don’t be sad. If she doesn’t want to be your friend, it only means she has poor taste. In Xixi’s heart, Lu Ying brother is the best!"
