Chapter 2299: Miserable Yan Qian

The woman in front of her really resembled Madam Feng, almost as if they were carved from the same mold. Tang Shuan felt that even if she wasn’t Madam Feng’s child, she must be a relative.

Gu Zhiqi nodded, "I’ll take a moment to visit the Feng Family once I’m done."

Tang Shuan heard Gu Zhiqi call Little One and turned to glance at Little One.

Little One?

This name... was it given by the little junior sister?

Although he had this doubt in his heart, Tang Shuan didn’t ask, instead continuing to chat with Gu Zhiqi about the recent situation in Nine Stars City.

It wasn’t until the group arrived at the train station that Tang Shuan stopped and bid farewell to Gu Zhiqi and the others.

The work here hasn’t been arranged completely, it will take two or three more days.

After saying goodbye to Tang Shuan, Gu Zhiqi and the others boarded the flying train to White Star.

There were trains going in two directions.

A few years ago, when Su Yunling and the others first came to Nine Stars City, to give them a look at the general outline of Nine Stars City, Gu Zhiqi took them on the train that allowed them to see the Nine Cities.

This time, Gu Zhiqi took them on the train directly to White Star, so in less than half an hour, they arrived at White Star.

**

The first thing after arriving at White Star was to find Yan Qian, who was let in by Aunt Meng.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi standing outside the door, Aunt Meng smiled like a blooming flower, "Miss Gu, Mr. Su, you’ve come? Please come in."

Gu Zhiqi stepped inside and casually asked, "Has Yan Qian woken up?"

Aunt Meng nodded repeatedly, "He’s awake, handling documents upstairs."

After that, Aunt Meng led the group into the house.

Aunt Meng first poured tea for everyone and then went upstairs to call Yan Qian.

Not long after, Yan Qian came downstairs, stomping heavily on the stairs, thumping down quickly.

Sporting a head of messy, bird’s nest hair and his clothes hung loosely on him, he didn’t look polished at all.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi, Yan Qian immediately pulled a long face, and then his eyebrows and eyes softened as if with affection, "Zhizhi—"

"You’ve finally come."

Saying this, Yan Qian lifted his skirt hem and ran towards Gu Zhiqi, throwing himself into her arms, "I’m done."

"Being the Lord God is really not for people."

"It’s too overwhelming, five years worth of documents all piled in my office, not even a bit of assistance in handling them."

Yan Qian hugged Gu Zhiqi and immediately began to express his grievances.

Gu Zhiqi reached out to press against Yan Qian’s forehead, pushing him away, "Hang in there, working man."

"I’m a thousand-year-old elder, way past retirement age, why do I still have to bear so much? I don’t want to be the Lord God anymore, I don’t want to be the principal of Nine Stars Academy either, find me a successor, will you?"

After being pushed away, Yan Qian continued to look sorrowfully at Gu Zhiqi, voicing his grievances.

Hearing Yan Qian mention a successor, Gu Zhiqi felt a twinge of uneasiness in her heart, and indeed, Yan Qian’s next words were, "I’ve met Gu Xiyue, she’s very suitable to be the Lord God, given time, she’ll surely be able to stand alone, let your Fifth Sister be my successor, Zhizhi~"

Speaking of which, Yan Qian clung to Gu Zhiqi’s arm, shaking and acting coy.

Gu Zhiqi raised her hand, grabbed Yan Qian’s wrist, and pushed her away, not forgetting to say to her: "Dream on."

Yan Qian: "..."

Continued to look pitifully at Gu Zhiqi, selling her woes.

Gu Zhiqi remained unfazed and continued sipping her tea.

Being the Lord God is not a desirable job, whoever wants it can have it; she definitely won’t let Fifth Sister take it.
