Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Seeing that Gu Qingluan was unhappy and about to leave, Gu Zhicheng couldnt sit still and immediately stood up to follow.

Luaner, dont be angry. Its just one spot, if you want it, take it!

Gu Zhicheng compromised, while his wife, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, felt a bit annoyed at his concession.

Gu Qingluans lips curled up, and she glanced down at her son.

Mission accomplished!

The selection compet.i.tion would be held the day after tomorrow.

Tomorrow, all major families need to submit the list of partic.i.p.ants to the organizers.

The organizers were from the Royalty, but the main person in charge was someone who came from the Holy Heaven Dynasty.

As for the ident.i.ty of this person, the major families currently have no information.

They only know that a mysterious person is currently staying in the royal palace, and the Crown Prince has close interactions with him.

Gu Zhicheng told Gu Qingluan some things to note and had someone present to draft the list. After she reviewed it, they would send it to the organizers tomorrow.

Once this list is finalized, there can be no changes, only forfeit, Gu Zhicheng reminded her, Are you sure you want Xiaonan to partic.i.p.ate? The arena is dangerous and unpredictable.

Dont worry, Grandpa, Im really good! Gu Xiaonan patted his little chest, full of pride.

However, the other partic.i.p.ants would also be very strong.

He wondered how his mother would change the name on the list to hers.

Actually If his mother couldnt change it, he could also partic.i.p.ate!

Hmph, they all look down on him and secretly called him an illegitimate child! He wanted to show them that he was not a burden to his mother but her pride! Thinking of this, Gu Xiaonan touched his round little chin.

Well

Maybe he should talk to his mother later and ask to partic.i.p.ate instead! Luaner, why do you still call me Master instead of calling me Dad again? Gu Qingluan raised her eyebrows and looked at his hopeful eyes, skillfully changing the subject, In a while, Mr. Liu will send some elixirs to the auction.

If you like them, I can ask him to give you a discount.

Gu Zhichengs eyes suddenly brightened, excitedly asking, Really?

Trying to achieve everything at once may not lead to success; its better to take one step at a time

Now that Qingluan was willing to help him get some benefits from Mr. Liu, he was sure to gain even greater benefits in the future.

Indeed, his strategy was correct.

He must go along with his eldest daughter and dote on her son. That way, he could establish a closer relations.h.i.+p and get help to reach the Island of No Return!

After getting Gu Qingluans approval, Gu Zhicheng looked at her with even more delight than before.

Gu Qingluan took the opportunity to bid farewell.

He urged her to go back quickly and not ignore Mr. Liu when she got home. If

Mr. Liu had any demands, she should tell him, and he would do his best to fulfill them

After some more instructions, he finally let Gu Qingluan leave.

Leaving Gus residence and getting on the carriage to go back, Gu Xiaonan told her about his desire to partic.i.p.ate in the selection compet.i.tion.

Gu Qingluan smiled and said, That was actually for you in the first place.

Gu Xiaonan was stunned, Huh? Wasnt it supposed to be you, Mom?

Originally, Gu Qingluan had intended to partic.i.p.ate herself, but then she thought that it wouldnt hurt to let her son partic.i.p.ate. The compet.i.tion could be a test for Xiaonan.

Besides, Xiaonans age was appropriate for attending school. In the past, on the Island of No Return, he had no peers, and Gu Qingluan was the one teaching him everything.

Her son was very smart, learning everything quickly, and showing astonis.h.i.+ng talents in many aspects. However, during this period, she also discovered a problem.
