Wang Ling showed no expression when he heard this, but Gu Zheng frowned for a moment.

He pulled Qin Jiu aside and asked in a low voice: "This is the last interstellar train to Yu Lanxing today. If we give up our seats, we won't be able to go to Yu Lanxing."

Qin Jiu nodded, and she looked at Gu Zheng very seriously: "Well, so Xiaozheng, you stay, we go."

Gu Zheng: “Ah?”

Wang Ling also walked over slowly at this time and expressed his agreement with Qin Jiu's statement: "I agree."

Gu Zheng was dissatisfied: "Why? No, I don't agree. I want to go, what do you two mean by abandoning me?"

Qin Jiu did not refute Gu Zheng's words immediately. Instead, he lowered his head to think, leaving Wang Ling to face Gu Zheng's anger alone.

Elijah has already left the station with other students. Qin Jiu and the others will need to go through the docking process again when they return from Yu Lanxing later. It may be very late before they wait for the bus back to Xinghuang.

Qin Jiu looked at Gu Zheng and said, "I'm not abandoning you, but I have other tasks for you to complete."

Gu Zheng obviously didn't believe it. He looked like he was waiting to see what other lies Qin Jiu could come up with. He crossed his arms over his chest and asked coldly, "What mission is so important?"

Qin Jiu: "You need to be in charge of our connection here! It's very important! Just think about it, if a group of us come back from Yu Lanxing, we have to reapply for the suspension train when we arrive at the station. How troublesome it is! During the time we are away, you have a more important task. You need to help coordinate the use of the suspension train."

Gu Zheng rarely saw Qin Jiu’s face show such a serious and sincere expression, and he couldn’t help but become serious.

He put down his arms at some point, leaned towards Qin Jiu, and asked, "What should I do?"

Qin Jiu: "You will take over the work of Teacher Ilya. Please discuss the handover with the station. You can ask Teacher Ilya in the Star King system for the specific matters. Is there any problem with this task being assigned to you?"

Gu Zheng nodded solemnly, already fully engaged in work: "No problem, don't worry, I will make sure you can get on the train back to Xinghuang on time!"

"Okay." Qin Jiu nodded heavily, his eyes full of trust: "I believe you."

After they negotiated together, Gu Zheng took the initiative to give up his seat and was taken by the staff to go through the transfer procedures.

The woman kept thanking them all the way, and it seemed that she really had something urgent to deal with when she got back.

Qin Jiu and the other man boarded the interstellar train with the woman, and Gu Zhengze began to communicate work details with Elijah.

Wang Linggang sat down and gave Qin Jiu a thumbs up: "You still have a way."

Qin Jiu smiled and said, "Not really. After all, Teacher Ilya has just led the team back and there is no way he can come out in a short time. If Gu Zheng can take over Teacher Ilya's work, it can also reduce Teacher Wei'er's workload and save Teacher Ilya from running around."

Wang Ling hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his doubts: "But can Xiaozheng really handle this matter? I don't think he is very reliable in dealing with this kind of thing..."

Qin Jiu shrugged: "I don't know, but the child will grow up eventually. I believe him."

Hearing this, Wang Ling no longer questioned.

The woman put away her luggage and came to Qin Jiu.

The tickets for the three of us were bought together and our seats were connected.

Gu Zheng gave up his seat, and the woman sat next to Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu gave way to the woman, and the woman thanked him repeatedly.

The woman sat down and started talking: "Thank you so much, if it weren't for your help, I don't know if I could make it to the festival at home."

Qin Jiu heard this term for the first time and asked curiously, "What is a festival?"

Woman: "We on Blue Star still retain some customs from the old world. Every year at this time, the family gathers together to worship and pray for good weather and good harvests on Blue Star in the coming year, and for everyone to be safe and sound."

The clothes she wore were indeed very local in style, and it was the first time Qin Jiu had seen them.

The woman suddenly remembered something. She took out a green fruit from her bag and handed it to Qin Jiu: "This is our specialty. You can try it. By the way, my name is Ayi Miao, and I am the Yu Lan Saint Witch."

Qin Jiu gladly accepted the fruit from the other party and exchanged names with her in a friendly manner: "My name is Qin Jiu, and I am a student of Xing Huang."

Ayi Miao's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Oh! Xinghuang! I know! It's a very good school!"

Wang Ling didn't say anything, but he straightened his back subconsciously. He was very proud to be a member of the Star Emperor.

Qin Jiu's eyes caught sight of Wang Ling's movements, and she couldn't help but curl her lips, but at the same time she was also deeply puzzled by Ayi Miao's words. She asked, "What is a Saint Witch?"

Ayi Miao explained: "This is some of the old world civilization that we still have on Blue Star. The Holy Witches are the young ones who are selected from childhood and raised by the elders of the tribe to learn holy witchcraft. After the previous Holy Witch is buried, a new successor will be selected again."

Although Qin Jiu had never heard of this kind of civilization from the ancient Blue Star, it was not difficult to infer from Ayi Miao's words that Ayi Miao's status on the Blue Star was probably higher than they imagined.

The interstellar train started, and Ayi Miao asked: "Are you going to Yulan Star to watch the ceremony? Did you get the tickets?"

Qin Jiu shook his head: "We are going to pick up our classmates."

Ai Miao tilted her head, and the decorations on her head made a crisp sound.

She asked curiously, "Are Xinghuang's classmates in Lanxing?"

The woman in front of them, who looked about the same age as them, seemed to lack relevant experience in studying outside. Qin Jiu told her about the exchanges between universities, and Ayi Miao suddenly realized.

But she still didn't understand: "Why do we have to pick them up? Can't they come back from Yu Lanxing by themselves? And you also said that you have a teacher there..."

Speaking of this, Qin Jiu sighed and said, "One of our classmates has been acting a little abnormal recently. He stops everyone from leaving, and he also brings a war beast with him. It's difficult for ordinary people to control him."

Ayi Miao asked a few more questions. Qin Jiu felt that Ayi Miao was not a bad person. She told her about what she had heard recently about Jin Cheng.

After hearing what Qin Jiu said, Ayi Miao lowered her eyes in thought and did not say anything else.

Qin Jiu thought she was tired, so he didn't care and stopped the topic.

The interstellar train soon arrived at Yu Lanxing. As soon as they got off the train, they heard Jin Cheng's shouting on the platform.

"Let's see who dares to come here!"
