I Have Five Senior Brothers - Chapter 7
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Wen Guiyun brought Gu Qingqing to recognize each of them one by one. Apart from Rong Ye, she greeted the other four senior brothers one by one. She realized that although her senior brothers had different personalities and different cultivation directions, they were all very good-looking. This made Gu Qingqing very satisfied.
“Alright, now that you all have met, I need to make some arrangements for your cultivation.” Wen Guiyun sat back on the main seat. The smile on his face disappeared and he became very serious. “From now on, you will be taught by me and your five senior brothers. I will teach you for four days and your senior brothers for five days each. If you have any problems with your cultivation, you can come to me directly.”
Gu Qingqing was different from Si Lin and the rest. When Wen Guiyun accepted Si Lin and the rest, each of them already had their own path and they were all over ten years old. He only needed to give them a little guidance. Gu Qingqing was only five years old at the moment. Someone had to be by her side to properly teach her. Wen Guiyun himself did not have much time to teach Gu Qingqing. Thus, Si Lin and the others had to take on the responsibility of taking care of and teaching their junior sister.
Not to mention Gu Qingqing, even Si Lin and the others were a little surprised when they heard Wen Guiyun’s arrangements.
“Why, do you have a problem?” Wen Guiyun took in the expressions of Si Lin and the others, swept his gaze across their faces, and asked indifferently.
Although Wen Guiyun was usually not very strict with them and was even very friendly, Si Lin and the other three did not dare to act rashly in front of Wen Guiyun. They understood what Wen Guiyun meant and quickly shook their heads to show that they had no objections.
Only then did Wen Guiyun nod his head in satisfaction. His gaze fell on Gu Qingqing again, “Your senior brothers each have their own strengths. If you follow them, you can learn more. It’s always good for a girl to learn more.”
Gu Qingqing had a good impression of Wen Guiyun. She knew that Wen Guiyun was doing this for her own good, so she quickly nodded her head.
As Hidden Spirit Mountain only had six peaks and Gu Qingqing was still young, she was temporarily left at the main peak. After the other five people left, Wen Guiyun brought Gu Qingqing to her room first. After Gu Qingqing was satisfied, they returned to the main hall.
“Qingqing, come here and let me diagnose you properly.” Wen Guiyun waved at Gu Qingqing and said with a very kind expression.
Hearing this, Gu Qingqing quickly walked to Wen Guiyun’s side and looked at him.
Wen Guiyun extended his right index finger and pointed at her glabella. A trace of spiritual energy entered her body from his fingertip. Gu Qingqing subconsciously closed her eyes and felt a little nervous.
In less than ten breaths, Wen Guiyun’s finger left Gu Qingqing’s glabella. Gu Qingqing opened her eyes as well and stared curiously at Wen Guiyun, waiting for him to speak.
“I’ve already checked. There’s nothing wrong with your body. Your inability to speak should be related to your talent. The spirit of speech technique is very mysterious and there aren’t many records in existence. I’m not too sure either. However, I found a seal in your body. I think it’s also related to this.” Wen Guiyun patted Gu Qingqing’s head. Seeing that she was staring at him with a hint of admiration in her eyes, his heart softened. “Don’t worry, I will find a way for you to speak.”
Gu Qingqing liked Wen Guiyun’s intimacy with her very much. She rubbed her head against Wen Guiyun’s palm and nodded her head fiercely with narrowed eyes.
Wen Guiyun gave Gu Qingqing a jade slip which recorded the cultivation method. It was the simplest and most basic one on the continent. He asked Gu Qingqing to stick the jade slip on her forehead and Gu Qingqing followed his instructions. As soon as the jade slip was stuck on her forehead, a stream of information entered her mind. It was all related to cultivation.
Gu Qingqing took some time to digest these things. When she opened her eyes, they were sparkling and she seemed eager to try.
Ever since her talent was awakened, her cultivation had always been passive. It was purely her body absorbing the spiritual energy in the air. Now that she had learned the cultivation method, she did not care that Wen Guiyun was beside her and sat cross-legged on the ground. She began to cultivate according to the records in the jade slip.
Seeing Gu Qingqing’s childish behavior, Wen Guiyun smiled and shook his head. There was a hint of indulgence in his eyes that he did not notice. He poured himself a cup of tea and sat quietly by the side, watching her cultivate.
He initially thought that Gu Qingqing would not succeed the first time. He did not expect that she would make a move right after he finished the cup of tea.
A spiritual energy vortex formed around Gu Qingqing and surrounded her. Then, the vortex grew bigger and bigger and the things in the room started to move as well. Wen Guiyun’s eyes flashed with surprise as he waved his hand; the things in the room were stabilized by him. He poured himself another cup of tea and sat by the side, waiting for her to finish.
The spiritual energy vortex grew bigger and bigger. Gu Qingqing’s figure was directly covered by the vortex. From afar, she looked like she was in a cocoon.
After about fifteen minutes, the spiritual energy vortex around Gu Qingqing suddenly contracted. Then, it surged into her body and disappeared in an instant. A light flashed across her body. Then, she opened her eyes.
Feeling the obvious spiritual energy in her body, Gu Qingqing could not help but stand up happily. When she saw Wen Guiyun sitting beside her, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she walked to Wen Guiyun’s side and looked at him with sparkling eyes. Her face was full of the expression “Praise me”.
In the past, Wen Guiyun did not get along with children as young as Gu Qingqing. He did not have much patience with children. However, when he looked at Gu Qingqing now, perhaps it was because she was his disciple, he felt that she was very cute no matter what she did.
“Qingqing is really amazing. She broke through on her first cultivation and is now a second stage cultivator.” Wen Guiyun patted her head and was not stingy with his praise.
After receiving the affirmation and praise, Gu Qingqing was a little shy, but her eyes brightened and a bright smile appeared on her face.
“You are still young and should not cultivate too quickly. You can learn something else.” Wen Guiyun saw that Gu Qingqing was happy and could not help but smile. At the same time, he warned her. After Gu Qingqing nodded her head, he could not help but pat her head again.
Just when the atmosphere between the master and disciple was harmonious, Gu Qingqing’s stomach suddenly let out a cry. She quickly covered her stomach and was so shy that she did not dare to look at Wen Guiyun.
Wen Guiyun was also stunned for a moment. When he remembered that Gu Qingqing was still young and her cultivation level was low, and she still needed to eat, he felt a little guilty. However, their cultivation levels were not low and they did not crave for food; they rarely ate. He thought for a long time before he remembered that there was a green fruit tree in the garden behind the main peak. The green fruit tasted sweet and could also satisfy hunger. He quickly ordered a puppet to pick the green fruit.
After eating the fruit, Gu Qingqing thought of the embarrassing incident just now. She was still a little shy and did not dare to communicate with Wen Guiyun. Wen Guiyun did not force her. He let Gu Qingqing go to rest first while he went to the library on the main peak.
Gu Qingqing stayed on the main peak. She was talented and did not need to worry about her cultivation because she could not speak. The most important thing now was to let her learn how to read and write so that she could communicate with others using words. Hence, when she stayed on the main peak, she mainly followed Wen Guiyun to learn and practice writing.
Soon, it was the fifth day, and it was time for her to go to the first peak.
