Chapter 2108: The Dean of the Martial Arts Academy Arrives

A rough voice rang out above the square, followed by a black figure streaking across the sky, landing directly in front of Gu Zhiqi.

The visitor was burly, with a fierce face and a scraggly beard, looking boisterous and a little goofy.

As soon as this person appeared, everyone present was stunned.

Because this person was none other than Helian Buji, the head of the Martial Arts Academy.

And if they weren’t mistaken, the Qi Girl Helian Buji mentioned was the same little girl extorted by Dongfang Tianqing.

No wonder she showed no fear facing Dongfang Tianqing earlier.

It turns out, she had Helian Buji to back her up.

With Helian Buji as her support, who would fear someone like Dongfang Tianqing? Never mind Dongfang Tianqing, in Nine Stars City, you could walk sideways as long as you didn’t cause any trouble.

The onlookers were stunned, and Dongfang Tianqing was also frozen.

When Helian Buji’s figure appeared, Dongfang Tianqing just stood there, stiff.

Although he wasn’t familiar with Helian Buji and hadn’t spoken much with him...

He was familiar with Helian Buji’s voice.

So, does this little girl know Helian Buji?

Dongfang Tianqing panicked; now, this might be medicinal pills.

After Helian Buji stood firmly before Gu Zhiqi, he reached out and gave her shoulder a heavy pat, "It’s been a long time, you’ve grown taller."

Then, he scrutinized Gu Zhiqi further and continued, "Hmm, you’re looking more and more like your mom."

"No, you’re better looking than your mom."

After patting Gu Zhiqi’s shoulder, Helian Buji patted her head as well, clearly treating Gu Zhiqi as a junior.

But Gu Zhiqi remembered very well that she had known this guy seven hundred years ago.

Back then, she was just a little chubby kid, seven or eight years old, following him around, calling her sister.

Later...

He grew bigger and bigger, while Gu Zhiqi remained childlike.

He went from calling her sister, to calling her Qiqi, then to Younger Sister Qiqi, and finally to Qi Girl.

His gaze shifted from reliance to looking at her like a daughter, a granddaughter, a junior...

Helian Buji’s hand rested on Gu Zhiqi’s head, patting continuously with no signs of stopping, while Gu Zhiqi stepped back two paces and said to him, "Business."

Upon hearing this, Helian Buji finally remembered the matter at hand.

"Who was it that wanted to make a note against you?"

Gu Zhiqi stretched out her hand and pointed to Dongfang Tianqing, who was inching further away.

Actually, ever since Helian Buji appeared, Dongfang Tianqing wanted to bolt away immediately, but there was no path available.

He didn’t know if it was the students’ intention or they were just engrossed in watching Helian Buji, but they blocked all paths; he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to.

At the exact moment Helian Buji’s gaze landed on him, Dongfang Tianqing felt as if he had been struck by something and was about to burst into flames, turning to smoke and disappearing.

"You... a teacher at the Martial Arts Academy?" Helian Buji looked at Dongfang Tianqing, finding him vaguely familiar but couldn’t recall his name, so he asked.

Dongfang Tianqing smiled obsequiously, "Yes, yes, Headmaster."

Upon hearing this, Helian Buji furrowed his brow slightly, "You look like a weakling; can you really teach at the Martial Arts Academy?"

Dongfang Tianqing: "..."

For heaven’s sake, I am a Sixth-order Ancient Martial Artist, how am I weak?

Helian Buji could care less if Dongfang Tianqing was truly weak; he continued to frown and asked, "Why would you keep score against the girl? What’s your qualification?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi extended a hand and tugged at Lu Xingzhe, "Tell your Headmaster about the affair concerning Xiao Qiao."
