Chapter 3440: Sister Nian Has a Sharp Tongue but a Soft Heart

Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Nian pulled a long face and turned to leave.

Xie Yun, He Lin, and Ji Nan did not expect them to end up like this with just a few words.

For a moment, they did not know how to ease the tense atmosphere.

Qiao Nian walked to the door before suddenly stopping. She didn’t turn around. Her back was straight, and her tone was still cold and hard.

“You knew you would be in danger if you went to Continent M. Why did you still go?”

Ji Lingfeng thought she would leave without looking back, just like many times before. He didn’t expect her question.

He was silent for a while. In the end, he refused to put the grudges of the previous generation on her and make her bear something that she shouldn’t bear at her age.

“It’s nothing to do with you.”

“Okay.”

The girl still did not look back. This time, she took big strides, and her back quickly disappeared from their sight.

Seeing Qiao Nian leave, He Lin couldn’t help but say to the man, “Patriarch, why did you lie to Miss Qiao? You clearly…”

“Alright!” Ji Lingfeng interrupted tiredly. “I’m tired. Help me back.”

Qiao Nian made the elders and hall masters leave. He had to think of another way to make them compromise and agree. He just didn’t know if his body could last until then.

Ji Nan beat He Lin to it and silently helped him up. Holding his arm, he calmly said, “Dad, I’ll send you back to your room.”

Ji Lingfeng looked at his son’s mature side profile and recalled what He Lin had said about him blocking everyone outside…

In the end, he did not say anything and let him help himself out of this place.

Xie Yun watched as the father and son walked away. A little touched, she tilted her head and said to He Lin, “You said he would rather give his only lifeboat to his son in the Black Sea. Why did he make a strong decision without asking Ji Nan’s opinion this time?”

Xie Yun knew that Ji Nan did not want the Ji family. It’d only take a few words from Ji Lingfeng.

However, the father and son were stubborn, each more apprehensive than the other. Neither of them was willing to say what was on their minds.

He Lin looked at Ji Lingfeng’s disappearing back and did not know how to answer her. He only whispered, “Madam, aren’t you angry?”

Xie Yun smiled and did not say anything.

Was she angry?

Of course, she was angry!

She was so angry that Ji Lingfeng did not put Ji Nan first. Everything else was fine. After all, Qiao Nian had saved her biological sister back then. She really liked her.

Besides, what did it have to do with Qiao Nian this time? It was all her own family’s fault. They had not asked for her opinion beforehand.

Outside.

Qiao Nian left the old residence and looked at her cell phone. Reaching the door, she followed her heart and called someone.

The call was picked up after a few rings.

“Hey, how was it? Did you ask who that person was?”

Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and asked, “Elder Zhong, can you do me a favor?”

Zhong Yiliu was stunned before confidently saying, “With our relationship, just tell me if you’d like anything. If I can help, how could I possibly refuse?”

Qiao Nian did not stand on ceremony with him anymore. “I want to trouble you to come to the independent continent. Also, please bring the medicine you mentioned.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhong Yiliu wasn’t stupid and immediately understood what she meant. “So that person is indeed… Emperor Ji?”

Qiao Nian looked up and saw Ye Wangchuan, Qin Si, and the others waiting for her outside. Mo Dong was also there, directing the “cleaning” of the entrance.

She slowed down. “Yes, it’s him.”
