2517 Finally Decided to Recommend Ji Ziyin to the Old Ancestor

In addition, Yu Qingliu specially called the Yu family’s spies in Country M to ask if they had found any traces of Qiao Nian and the others.

“Elder Yu, we’ve investigated the entry and exit records according to what you said, but there was no Easterner surnamed Qiao that day.” The spy disappointed Yu Qingliu again.

He held his cell phone tightly, firmly believing that Qiao Nian and the others must have arrived in Country M. “Expand the area and check the entry and exit registration form. Don’t care about their names. Check all the Asian faces from the independent continent!”

“Yes, Elder Yu.” The spy followed his instructions.

Yu Qingliu slowly put down his phone and stood there for a while. After hesitating for a moment, he made another call.

The call connected.

His tone was no longer as domineering and impatient as before. Like a tamed dog, he lowered his voice and said respectfully, “Lord Shadow, I’m Yu Qingliu. Is Her Majesty feeling better?”

The person on the other end said something.

Yu Qingliu lowered his head even lower as if he had been reprimanded. He then said even more carefully, “It’s like this. I went to the independent continent this time to find a weapon-manufacturing genius. She has made a few new weapon projects. I want to bring her to report the progress to Her Majesty.”

“Wait a minute.”

Yu Qingliu did not dare to say another word when he heard the cold reply from the other end. “Alright.”

There was a rustling sound, and Yu Qingliu’s heart was almost in his throat. His heart beat like a drum. Even through the cell phone, he did not dare to show any impudence. He kept his head bowed like the most loyal servant.

Finally, he heard a cough from the other end, followed by an old, hoarse, and emotionless voice. “Who are you talking about?”

This voice seemed to come from the distant sky. It was dignified without being angry.

Yu Qingliu’s heart skipped a beat. He whispered in an even more terrified voice, “It’s someone from the side branch of the Ji family… called… called Ji Ziyin.”

The person on the other end did not say anything.

Yu Qingliu’s heart was so tense that it almost did not dare to beat. He restrained his fear and said carefully, “This person is very talented in weapon manufacturing. She also has the title of a once-in-a-century genius of the Ji family in the independent continent.

“I specially tested her. She’s indeed as talented as those people in the independent continent say. The First Research Institute hasn’t made weapons in a long time. I think she’s very suitable to make up for our lack in this aspect…”

Yu Qingliu spoke cautiously. He repeated every word in his heart over and over again, afraid that he would say something wrong and make the Old Ancestor unhappy.

He ran through what he wanted to say in his mind and then carefully asked, “Do you have time to see her?”

The veins on the back of his hand bulged nervously after he finished speaking. He was extremely nervous and afraid.

Fortunately, the person on the other end only smiled mysteriously. “Someone from the Ji family?”

Yu Qingliu immediately said, “I’ll send her back if it’s inconvenient for you.”

He had just finished speaking when the person on the other end said coldly, “No need. Bring her over. I also want to see… what the once-in-a-century genius of the Ji family looks like!”

Yu Qingliu could not tell if she was agreeing or mocking him. Before he could say anything, the other party had already hung up.

Yu Qingliu looked at the phone. The back of his shirt was drenched in sweat.

He looked up in the direction of the guest room on the second floor and let out a long breath. He narrowed his eyes and said softly, “I hope you won’t disappoint me…”
