CHAPTER 151: CHAPTER 19: FRUSTRATED (SECOND UPDATE)

"Prince Jun, please let go of Gu Qingqing, you’re not children anymore. Such behavior will cause trouble for Geng Geng." Yue Zhao approached them with a perfectly calm smile, but there was a hint of discontent in his gaze towards Jun Wu.

Jun Wu’s eyes met Yue Zhao’s in the air, neither willing to back down, until Gu Qingqing finally nudged Jun Wu, breaking their eye contact.

"Jun Wu, let me go first." Even Gu Qingqing felt their current posture was inappropriate, she shifted slightly as she spoke, trying to extricate herself from Jun Wu’s embrace.

Jun Wu knew he couldn’t overdo it, so he let go of Gu Qingqing and explained, "Geng Geng, I just missed you so much, don’t be angry."

His expression was not like the one he showed to others, but rather a bit pitiful, and he cautiously looked at Gu Qingqing as if really fearing she might be angry, causing Yue Zhao’s eyes to twitch on the side.

"I’m not angry, just a bit not used to it." Gu Qingqing couldn’t bear to see a beauty upset, especially since Jun Wu’s face perfectly matched her aesthetic, so she quickly replied.

Of course, she didn’t dare to look into Jun Wu’s eyes, always feeling that they were vortices that could suck her in, never to let her out!

"By the way, Jun Wu, why are you here?" Gu Qingqing thought Jun Wu should be in the Yunlan Sacred Land, why did he appear in the Lingxi Sacred Land?

"I set off as soon as I got in touch with you, arrived here just yesterday, and rushed over when I heard someone mention you outside." Jun Wu was always very patient with Gu Qingqing, gently adjusting the somewhat skewed step摇 he had touched earlier as he spoke.

Gu Qingqing understood, "Master said he would hold a master-apprentice ceremony for me and sent invitations to other factions. I was thinking you should come, and didn’t expect you to already be here."

Being able to see Jun Wu earlier made Gu Qingqing very happy, as she had been determined to ascend just to find Jun Wu!

"I already know about this, I had the invitation sent back to Yunlan Sacred Land, requesting my father to come, to let them know our Yunlan Sacred Land values Geng Geng very much." Jun Wu carefully took Gu Qingqing’s hand as he spoke.

Wen Guiyun wanted to make the whole Sub-immortal Realm aware of how much he valued Gu Qingqing, so Jun Wu wanted to ensure everyone knew that their Yunlan Sacred Land valued her as well to avoid anyone causing her trouble!

Gu Qingqing was used to Jun Wu holding her hand and didn’t find it inappropriate, but Yue Zhao on the side raised an eyebrow. Upon noticing Gu Qingqing didn’t refuse, he felt the urge to step over and pull her away.

He now somewhat understood Rong Ye’s feeling of almost exploding with anger that day; at this moment, he found Jun Wu quite an eyesore and felt an impulse to get rid of him!

"Prince Jun is quite thoughtful, having the Saint Jun of Yunlan Sacred Land come personally. Geng Geng’s master-apprentice ceremony will surely be remembered by many!" Though he disliked Jun Wu, Yue Zhao agreed with what Jun Wu did, also hoping the world knew how much they valued Geng Geng so people wouldn’t get funny ideas!

"Geng Geng deserves the best!" Jun Wu looked at Gu Qingqing with an expression so tender that it seemed to drip with warmth.

Gu Qingqing took a single glance and quickly turned her head in a panic, too afraid to continue looking and pressed her hand against her chest, fearing her heart might leap out.

Seeing Gu Qingqing’s reaction, Yue Zhao felt a jolt, and quickly stepped in front of Gu Qingqing, blocking her from Jun Wu.

"Since Prince Jun is already in the Lingxi Sacred Land and has plenty of chances to talk with Geng Geng. It’s getting late, and Geng Geng is tired, maybe let her rest early." With a perfect smile on his face, he was clearly putting Gu Qingqing’s welfare first, making it tough for Jun Wu to refuse.

Jun Wu observed Yue Zhao for a while, and seeing Yue Zhao’s smile unchanged, he could only turn to Gu Qingqing. "Geng Geng, get some rest early, I’ll come find you tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, I’ll wait for you." Gu Qingqing poked her head out from behind Yue Zhao, nodded, and gave Jun Wu a smile, looking very cute.

The mood that Yue Zhao had blocked Jun Wu from quickly lightened, and the corners of his lips slightly lifted, "Alright, then I’ll be going now."

He turned and left under the watchful eyes of Gu Qingqing and Yue Zhao.

After Jun Wu’s figure disappeared, Yue Zhao’s smile vanished instantly and then reappeared as he turned around with a slight smirk.

"Geng Geng, go rest, Senior Brother has some matters to attend to, I’ll be going back." He said, ruffling Gu Qingqing’s hair.

"Alright, Senior Brother, you rest early too." Gu Qingqing nodded, carefully fixing her hair, and then turned to leave.

Once Gu Qingqing went back to her room, Yue Zhao’s smile disappeared completely. He looked at Gu Qingqing’s room for a moment before turning and leaving.

...

In Yue Zhao’s courtyard study, the five of them, including Si Lin, gathered.

"Second Senior Brother, what’s so urgent that you called us all over?" Mu Chen, seldom summoned by Yue Zhao, asked curiously.

"Exactly, I and old Third were in the middle of a fight when you called us over, got me a busted lip." Rong Ye touched his lip and cast a resentful look at Yue Zhao.

"Why blame Second Senior Brother, that’s all because you’re not as skilled, thus got hit by me!" Nan Hua rolled his eyes at Rong Ye, disdainful of his attempt to shift blame.

"Yue Zhao, go ahead, what’s up?" Si Lin glanced at the two, silencing them instantly, turning to Yue Zhao, waiting for him to speak.

"I just ran into Jun Wu at Geng Geng’s place, he’s here in the Holy Land." Ignoring Rong Ye’s words, Yue Zhao spoke slowly.

"I was informed of this," Si Lin nodded, "Did he go see Geng Geng?"

"Yes, that kid has finally grown up, and it’s quite clear what he feels for Geng Geng!" This time, Yue Zhao abandoned his usual elegance, gritting his teeth in frustration.

"Second Senior Brother, what did he do? You seem like you’re about to take a swing at Jun Wu!" Mu Chen, unaccustomed to seeing Yue Zhao like this, was curious about what Jun Wu did.

"It’s mainly not what he did, but Geng Geng." Yue Zhao felt troubled thinking about Gu Qingqing’s reaction to Jun Wu.

"What happened to Geng Geng?" Si Lin asked.

"Geng Geng seems to have developed a bit of affection for that kid Jun Wu, but she’s not aware of it yet!" This was what made Yue Zhao most frustrated; he wasn’t worried about Jun Wu liking Gu Qingqing, only feared if she liked Jun Wu too, she might end up hurt!
