Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Time passed in a flash.

A week later, Elder Xue came looking for Qiao Nian.

“l have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?” This was not the first time Elder Xue had come looking for her.

This time, he did not let Feng Yu lead the way. Instead, he went straight to Qiao Nian’s small laboratory.

Qiao Nian turned on the tap and washed her hands seriously. She did not care much. ‘Good news, 1 guess.”

Seeing her take out a towel to wipe her hands, Elder Xue smiled faintly and said, “You can report to the Privy Council in three days.”

Qiao Nian threw the towel on the washstand and took off her goggles, revealing her beautiful eyes. “What’s the bad news?”

Elder Xue followed her. “Two more people will enter the Privy Council with you.”

Qiao Nian stopped in her tracks and turned around. “Two?”

Not one?

She guessed that Ji Ziyin would enter the Privy Council. Who was the other person?

As the two of them spoke, the door of the laboratory opened and Xu Yi came. He was stunned upon seeing an outsider in the laboratory.

Elder Xue also saw him. His hale and hearty eyes narrowed as he sized up the young man and continued, “Yes, two. A total of three people will enter the Privy Council this time. Other than you, two more people will enter.”

Hearing the words ‘Privy Council”, Xu Yi stopped in his tracks and looked at the girl. ‘1 1 didn’t know there was someone else here.”

He glanced at the silver-haired old man and expressionlessly said, “Take your time. I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Xu Yi.” Qiao Nian called out to him.

The handsome young man turned around and looked at her in confusion.

Qiao Nian walked over and handed him a small notebook. “Stay behind and help me record this.”

Then, she turned around and casually said to the silver-haired old man, “If it’s convenient, shall we go out and chat?”

The laboratory was a place for experiments. She did not want this pure space

to be related to the miscellaneous matters outside, She put on the baseball cap before leaving the laboratory.

Since she had already left, the silver-haired old man could not stay any longer.

Before leaving, he imperceptibly glanced at Xu Yi. There was obvious suspicion in his eyes, but he did not say anything and left quickly.

Qiao Nian knew that Elder Xue had been coming since last night. She was not familiar with the independent continent, so she did not bring him around. It was lunchtime, so Qiao Nian brought him to the Seaview Pavilion.

“Two people, private room.”

This was Guan Yan’s territory, and she was already familiar with the manager there. He came out upon receiving notice that Qiao Nian was here so that he could arrange a room for them.

After Qiao Nian said that she wanted a private room, the manager arranged Guan Yan’s private room for them.

The manager personally led the way and then served tea and water, his attitude very polite the entire time.

After Qiao Nian finished ordering and handed the menu to the silver-haired old man, Elder Xue symbolically ordered two dishes and put down the menu. Only then did the manager politely leave.

Before leaving, he specially said, “Miss Qiao, just call me if you have any instructions. I’ll be right over.”

Elder Xue watched him leave and raised his eyebrows at the relaxed girl sitting cross-legged. “Do you know the place’s boss?”

Qiao Nian took a sip of the freshly brewed Da Hong Pao. The tea tasted young and sweet. She put down the teacup and sat back. Her black eyelashes drooped lazily. “Ah, a friend.”
