Chapter 2595  Feng Yu: Have You Heard of the Privy Council?

"Have you heard of the Privy Council?" Feng Yu asked her.

Qiao Nian read the first page quickly. "I"ve never heard of it."

"The reclusive families are made up of more than a hundred families. The Yu family that had a conflict with you this time is only a second-rate family among them. The other families are not to be trifled with.

"These families have jointly elected a leader, the Empress you offended this time.

"The Empress has absolute authority within the reclusive families. However, to prevent the leaders chosen in the past from having too much authority and harming their interests for their own selfish desires… the reclusive families created a regulatory body. This inst.i.tution is called the Privy Council!"

Qiao Nian dragged a chair and sat down. She had already seen the page he was talking about.

Seeing that she was looking at him seriously, Feng Yu stared at her jawline and slowly continued, "If the Empress is their head, then the Privy Council is their heart."

"Okay," Qiao Nian replied and continued to turn the pages.

Feng Yu walked up to her and said in a low voice, "Even the Empress is somewhat restrained by the Privy Council. They"re very important.

"The Privy Council is recruiting new members recently. s.h.i.+ Fu and I have discussed it. We all think this is an opportunity."

Qiao Nian had almost finished reading the doc.u.ment. She looked up at him at this.

Feng Yu did not hide his thoughts. He looked into her eyes and said, "If you can enter the Privy Council, at least the Empress will be afraid and won"t touch you easily. Otherwise, it"ll be too dangerous for you!"

Qiao Nian did not offend any one person.

She had offended everyone from the reclusive families for Lu Zhi this time!

If Qiao Nian offended someone, the First Research Inst.i.tute would definitely protect her to the end.

However, Qiao Nian had offended the entirety of the reclusive families. Feng Yu knew his ability and knew that he probably could not protect her this time.

"I"ve asked Martin. The Privy Council doesn"t care about outside disputes. They only value personal ability."

Qiao Nian put the doc.u.ment back into the leather bag and casually said, "But I"m not from the reclusive families."

"You are."

Feng Yu"s gaze was like a torch. Although he did not want to say it, at this juncture, he could only say, "You"re from the Ji family.

"50 years ago, the reclusive families made a promise that the Ji family"s bloodline would enjoy the same power as them."

The reclusive families had always been superior, and the Ji family had also produced that person… That person was really tough. Back then, that person almost overturned the entire reclusive families alone.

The arrogant reclusive families had no choice but to prostrate themselves at their feet, so this agreement was made.

The Ji family was not a member of the reclusive families, but they could enjoy all the benefits and treatment of direct members.

"You"re a direct descendant of the Ji family. You have the right to partic.i.p.ate in the recruitment selection." Feng Yu almost fell into his memories, but he was more concerned about Qiao Nian"s current situation. "Nian Nian, listen to me. Partic.i.p.ate in the Privy Council"s recruitment. You should be able to enter with your ability. As long as you enter the Privy Council, your safety will be guaranteed and we can rest a.s.sured."

Qiao Nian lowered her eyes and returned the leather bag to him. "I"m not interested."

She had never been afraid of the reclusive families, let alone the Empress hiding behind them!

She appreciated Feng Yu"s good intentions, but she did not want to partic.i.p.ate in the so-called recruitment.

Feng Yu took the bag and panicked. "Nian Nian, listen to me. This isn"t about interest…"

s.h.i.+ Fu pulled him aside before he could finish speaking.
