Chapter 3501: Sister Nian Is Undoubtedly The Focus

Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Nian instinctively looked around for someone.

Today, all the major factions in the independent continent sent people to Mingshui Mansion. People entered one after another from the main door, but her corner was relatively quiet.

Looking around and not seeing Ye Wangchuan, she frowned and looked down at the words “where you can see” on her phone screen.

Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes, not understanding what he meant.

Since she couldn’t figure it out, she decided not to think about it. She looked at the time. It was almost time to go in.

She returned her cell phone to her pocket and walked into Mingshui Mansion.

***

The Mingshui Mansion was extremely lively today.

Everyone from the various alliances had arrived.

Other than the slightly higher-ups in the independent continent, many factions on the same level as the Tongji Society had also arrived.

Where there were people, there was no lack of small talk.

Simon was a social butterfly and had undoubtedly become the most popular person in the crowd.

From time to time, someone would walk over to greet him.

Simon was also good at dealing with these occasions. Sometimes, when two or three people came at the same time, he took the opportunity to introduce them to each other.

However, he seemed ‘busy’ and kept a portion of his attention on the Ji family.

The Ji family was also here today.

But it was different from what he had expected.

He thought that since Ji Lingfeng had not fully recovered from his hospitalization, the Ji family should have fallen into the hands of Second Elder and Fourth Elder. He thought the elders would step in this time.

Unexpectedly, Ji Nan came early.

He wasn’t the only one to come from the Ji family. Second Elder accompanied him. Logically speaking, Second Elder was unlikely to give Ji Nan face.

However, no one understood the reason behind this. This time, the Second Elder seemed to have been convinced by Ji Nan. At the very least, the entire process was dominated by Ji Nan. Both parties seemed harmonious.

If not for the commotion at the harbor, everyone present would have thought there was no internal conflict in the Ji family.

Not far away.

How could Second Elder not feel the inquisitive gazes from all directions? It was just that he was used to scheming so others couldn’t notice anything amiss from his behavior.

He looked at the time and asked Ji Nan uneasily, “Miss Qiao isn’t here yet?”

It was Ji Nan’s first time attending such an event in the independent continent. No one came to greet him. Still, he was happy and relaxed. Hearing this, he lowered his voice. “It’s not time yet, right? She should be almost here.”

Seeing how confident he was, Second Elder pursed his lips and swallowed what he was about to say. He only reminded sternly, “We should rather give up on this competition than run away at the last minute. If Miss Qiao doesn’t come, the Ji family will probably—”

Ji Nan interrupted him with an indifferent expression. “She will come.”

Second Elder’s brows twitched, but before he could say anything, a small commotion ensued at the door.

Right on the heels of that, he heard exchanges such as ‘Qiao Nian’, ‘She’s indeed going to represent the Ji family in this treasure hunt’, ‘It’s not that she doesn’t want to have anything to do with the Ji family’, and ‘It’s over this time’.

Ji Nan and Second Elder looked at the entrance at the same time. Indeed, they saw someone walking over from the center of the crowd.

The girl was wearing a hoodie and a baseball cap. With her hands in her pockets and a black shoulder bag slung over her shoulder, she looked neat.

She walked step by step, through all the discussions in the room.

She did not say a word, but she attracted the attention of everyone in the room and became the center of attention.
