Qiao Nian placed her hand on her knee and sat casually. Her chopsticks paused when she heard this. "Help me withstand the pressure. I want to negotiate with them."
Zhong Yiliu stayed in Country M. Even if the Pharmacy a.s.sociation had never partic.i.p.ated in the battles between these forces, as a neighbor, he knew the reclusive families' situation very well.
Seeing that the girl was about to eat the noodles, he frowned and reminded her, "I'm not here because I can't withstand the pressure. I just want to tell you that the ident.i.ty of the person who needs treatment is not simple. She's not just anyone from the reclusive families."
The reclusive families were formed by more than a hundred factions, but one of them was definitely a leader and was called an ancestor by the others.
Or Her Majesty the Empress.
Even the Pope.
He had also guessed from the conversation between Yu Qingliu and the royal family over the past two days that the person seeking treatment was very likely… the big shot from the reclusive families.
After learning this, he rushed to the hotel to remind Qiao Nian so that she would not provoke someone she shouldn't.
"That person…" Zhong Yiliu did not know if his judgment was right, so he could not speak too harshly. "In any case, be more careful. If you force them like this, they won't compromise so easily. They might attack you in return…"
Qiao Nian was eating her noodles.
She had never been shy when eating. Just as Qin Si had said, this hotel's breakfast tasted good. Qiao Nian's nose was covered in sweat.
Zhong Yiliu was still worried that she would provoke the reclusive families. She looked up with her dark eyes and casually said, "In any case, I'll provoke them sooner or later. Why don't I test the waters in advance?"
Zhong Yiliu was dumbfounded.
What did she mean by she would provoke them sooner or later?
Qin Si was even more confused!
Of course, he knew that Qiao Nian did not come to Country M for no reason. But when did she become related to the Pharmacy a.s.sociation? Why did Elder Zhong tell Sister Qiao to be careful?
Ye w.a.n.gchuan did not speak. He only poured her a gla.s.s of water and placed it beside the girl's hand, looking like he was waiting for her to chat with Zhong Yiliu.
Qiao Nian returned to her room after breakfast.
Zhong Yiliu also brought Robert back to the Pharmacy a.s.sociation.
…
On the other side.
The royal family had already sent the news to the ancestor who was temporarily staying here through Lord Shadow.
"She wants to exchange for Lu Zhi's freedom?"
The curtain covered the person inside, but from the voice, it could be seen that the speaker was not young. Her voice was old and filled with deterrence.
The insufferably arrogant Lord Shadow was as humble as an ant in front of her. "Yes, Ancestor."
"I really don't intend to do anything to Lu Zhi," the person on the other end of the curtain said softly, but her voice was cold and heartless. "But I hate the Ji family the most in my life, especially the direct line of descent! Especially someone like her who has dirty rat blood flowing in her veins!"
Her emotions were on the verge of madness, but in the blink of an eye, she seemed to calm down. "Forget it. Ji Lingfeng and Lu Zhi have to risk their lives to protect her. I won't do anything to her until I'm fully prepared."
Although she wished she could wash away this dirty blood immediately!
Lord Shadow did not dare to speak.
After calming down, the woman returned to her usual cold and sinister voice. "Didn't Ji Lingfeng want to leave his a.s.sets to her? Go and tell Yu Qingliu to bring that woman from the branch family here.
"So what if the Ji family produces a genius? I just want to nurture tras.h.!.+"
