Chapter 1566: Female Noble (4)

Zhao Chi's comfort was completely ineffective.

Gu Qing hadn't eased up in the slightest.

Instead, she was on the verge of crying from anxiety.

She was entirely without her usual composure and confidence.

"How could that be the same? Being your subordinate is part of your household. If I become a lord, I'd be branching off into a separate household — that won't do. Take the territory back. I think I can return it to you."

While she was speaking, Zhao Chi received a message from Gu Qing.

【Lord of Qingsi Village "Gu Qing" requests to join your territory】

【Join Level: Annexation】

【Do you agree?】

Zhao Chi naturally did not click agree.

It had taken a lot of effort to get Gu Qing to open up a territory — how could he take it back like that? Besides, Gu Qing could freely enter and exit the Greater World, which was excellent.

Moreover, having a lead on nobility was hard to come by, and Zhao Chi certainly wanted to learn more.

His own woman becoming nobility would make it that much more convenient to investigate.

"Gu Qing, don't panic. You've always been the calmest one — you should be able to see that the way things stand now is most advantageous for me. You can freely enter and exit the Greater World, which gives me another helper. And you should now be able to communicate with me remotely through the system — that's crucial. There are other benefits too."

Hearing this, Gu Qing's emotions steadied somewhat.

Zhao Chi went on: "And for some reason, you're the only one who can activate the World Stone — I can't get anyone else to be this lord. And I don't feel any different from before."

Gu Qing was still frowning.

Her expression remained somewhat dejected.

Zhao Chi said gently: "It's alright. Tell me everything on your mind — I want to hear what concerns you have. You're just like Su Qin now, isn't that fine?"

Gu Qing shook her head.
