Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

The silver-haired old man looked at her. He did not ask anything else upon seeing that her expression was relaxed and casual, as if it was just an ordinary

friend. Instead, he mentioned Xu Yi. “By the way, the… young man we just met is also your friend?”

Qiao Nian knocked on the teacup and looked at him with her dark eyes. She nodded after a second. “He’s not from this circle. He just wants to do his research.’

Elder Xue was smart. How could he not understand what she meant? He immediately explained with a faint smile, “1 don’t mean anything else. I just noticed that he looked like an old friend, so I couldn’t myself.”

Qiao Nian nodded and did not reply.

Elder Xue leaned back and continued, “However, given that person’s personality, he should have nothing to do with him. Otherwise, I would have known your friend.”

The archbishop was in charge of so many families of the Neutral Faction. It was unlikely for Qiao Nian t s friend to end up in a small research institute on the independent continent if they were related.

Elder Xue put Xu Yi’s matter to the back of his mind. Coincidentally, the dishes were served then, so Qiao Nian motioned for them to eat.

The silver-haired old man did not take Xu Yi’s matter to heart. As he ate, he told the girl about the matter of reporting in three days.

He especially came this time to tell the girl about these procedures. In addition, he had to visit the Ji family.

“Therefore, you have to report with the other two in three days. The Privy Council has already prepared your information.

“If nothing goes wrong, you will be assigned to the same batch. The Privy Council doesn’t have the tradition of nurturing new people. You will have to rely on yourself. Your identity is special, so it shouldn’t be easy for you to integrate into it… I can’t help you with this. It only depends on whether you can survive and gain everyone l s acknowledgement.

“The other one will have a much better time than you. After all, she’s from the independent continent. She’s easier to accept compared to you.”

Qiao Nian nodded. She knew he was talking about Ji Ziyin. With the frivolity of a young person between her eyebrows, she continued eating indifferently.

At the same time, other people were celebrating in the Seaview Pavilion.

Compared to those in Qiao Nian’s private room, it was much livelier there. More than half of the forces in the independent continent had come.

People from the Lu and Xie families had come.

Simon from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was also present.

A few of the people in charge of the main forces were also there.

Ji Ziyin was in the middle. From time to time, someone would congratulate her. This time, even Lu Yiming was forcefully brought over by Old Madam Lu.

Ji Ziyin appeared indifferent to the others and knew how to put on airs.

However, she welcomed the Lu family with a smile this time.

At Old Madam Lu’s toast, she drank a glass of wine. Ji Ziyin’s stomach warmed up. Her face turned red as she stood up and said to everyone in the private room, “I’m sorry, I need to go to the washroom.”

Of course, they had no objections.

Old Madam Lu’s sharp eyes looked at her back view as she left. She bumped her grandson, who was sitting beside her, with her arm and told him to chase after her.

“Grandma!” Lu Yiming did not want to do this.

However, Old Madam Lu t s face darkened and she glared at him.

Unable to dissuade her, he could only stand up and follow her out.

Everyone in the private room saw this scene. They knew what Old Madam Lu was up to..
