Chapter 3322: Sister Nian Is Getting Revenge

Editor: Atlas Studios

Elder Xue’s eyelids twitched. He raised his eyelids and did not beat around the bush. “I think what the Empress said makes sense.”

Jacob brought them cups of coffee. He gently put them down and stood obediently in the corner.

The middle-aged man did not expect his stance to change so drastically. Reaching for the coffee, his hand stopped midair and he looked at him strangely.

“When did you become so close to the Empress?”

The Conservatives and the Empress had never been on good terms.

His seemingly random words were actually asking about Elder Xue’s current position.

“You don’t have to test me.” Facing his insistence, Elder Xue looked magnanimous. “I’m only loyal to the reclusive families.

“The Empress was too powerful in the past. In order to prevent her from turning the reclusive families into her personal weapon, I definitely had to suppress her. Didn’t the archbishop also have such thoughts, which was why he founded the neutral faction and did not a.s.sociate with anyone?”

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes dangerously, but he did not retort. “Elder Xue is on the Empress’ side now because…?”

“Qiao Nian is too strong.” Elder Xue did not hide his worry. He looked into his eyes and said bluntly, “With her personality, if she takes over the reclusive families in the future, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for us. I don’t think she can inherit the position of Empress. Since she can’t take over the reclusive families or become one of us in the future, it’s better to nip her in the bud while she’s still young. Just like… what we did in the past!”

—Those who are not my kind will not be left alive!

This was the rule of the reclusive families.

He did not deny that he had thought highly of Qiao Nian before. He even intended to help her rise to the top and take a few more steps up in the Privy Council.

However, when he saw with his own eyes that Qiao Nian could go against the reclusive families to investigate Ji Qing’s death and almost destroy their reputation several times, this thought quietly changed.

Qiao Nian was indeed talented.

Back then, Ji Qing was also talented. Why did the Privy Council not choose to leave her alive in the end? The reason was very simple—Ji Qing was unwilling to work for the reclusive families.

A genius refused to submit and even made enemies of them. The only outcome awaiting her was destruction.

Ji Qing was like this.

Qiao Nian was the same.

The archbishop instantly understood his thoughts and was silent for a long time. He did not express his stance as Elder Xue thought. Instead, he paused and gave an ambiguous answer. “I understand.”

Elder Xue could tell he was still unwilling to stand on his side, so he did not say anything. He looked at him with his shrewd eyes and said, “Archbishop, we can’t let Qiao Nian continue!”

Quentin looked at him.

Elder Xue did not avoid his gaze. Instead, he stared straight at him. His determined and fierce gaze showed that he had made up his mind.

Fortunately, Jacob received a call and rushed over. He handed the phone to the middle-aged man and said in a low voice, “It’s a call from the independent continent.”

Quentin’s gaze softened as he reached out for the cell phone. He looked away and returned to his usual coldness. “I still have something on, so I won’t keep Elder Xue.”

Zhou Zheng was the most afraid over Nie Qixing’s ‘accident’.

He couldn’t figure out if it was Qiao Nian or the reclusive families behind Nie Qingru.

Ever since he separated from Nie Qixing that day, he had been hiding, afraid that someone would find him.
