"The one on his left wearing blue is from the Lu family."
As soon as Nie Mi sat down, he immediately lowered his voice and introduced the identities of the people attending the banquet to Qiao Nian: "Niannian, do you know the Lu family?"
Lu Zhi’s family
Qiao Nian hummed, lowered her eyelashes, and looked in the direction he said. She saw a young man, about the same age as Lu Zhi, who looked a bit like Lu Zhi. He had a gentle temperament and seemed easy to get along with, without any airs.
Nie Mi was beside her and gave her some basic knowledge: "The top three forces in the Independent Continent have always been the Ji family, the Xie family, and the Nan family. However, many new forces have emerged in recent years. In addition to the Yao Clan, the most eye-catching one is the Lu family."
"Behind the Lu family is Ji Lingfeng. You've heard of Ji Lingfeng, right? He is the current head of the Ji family. He has always been very supportive of the Lu family. I heard that he intends to create the fourth family in the Independent Continent."
"But there's nothing to see about Lu Yiming. The truly powerful person in the Lu family is another person. It's a pity that person can only be considered half a member of the Lu family."
Nie Mi said it was a pity, but he only felt sorry for a moment and continued: "There is also a relatively important person in the new generation of the Ji family."
"Oh." Qiao Nian was not very interested. She glanced around casually, but a figure caught her attention.
Nie Mi also saw the person coming in, and immediately said to her with a smile: "Hey, Speak of the devil! I was just about to tell you about the new generation of the Ji family, and here comes that person. Did you see it? It's Ji Ziyin."
"She is now the face of the new generation of the Ji family. I heard that she is a genius in black gunpowder, a talent that is rare in a century."
"The Ji family even adopted her from a branch family because of this. Her status in the Independent Continent is not ordinary, and many people want to get in touch with her."
Qiao Nian saw that the man was only in his early twenties. Compared to the other people at the banquet who were dressed up, Ji Zinyin seemed more calm. She was wearing a goose yellow shirt and white suit pants, with the hem of her shirt tucked into her waistband. She looked tall and outstanding.
However, Qiao Nian only took a glance and then looked away without any interest.
She likes good-looking people. Good-looking people are pleasing to the eye, and looking at them more often will make her feel better.
But for some reason, Qiao Nian felt that Ji Zinyin was unremarkable the moment she took one look at her.
She didn't like the look of him. Qiao Nian took one look and didn't want to look at him again.
"The one next to Ji Ziyin is Ji..."
Nie Mi then gave her a lot of information about the Independent Continent's network of contacts. Qiao Nian just sat there quietly listening to him and rarely expressed any opinions.
Until the party was about to begin.
Zhong Yilu and Lu Zhicai came in one after the other.
Both of them were among the main guests of the banquet, so naturally they were both arranged to sit at the front table.
The seat where Qiao Nian and his friends sat was a long way away, so he didn't see Qiao Nian and his friends coming to the table in the back row.
Master Cheng also saw Zhong Yiliu coming in. He looked at the girl in the cap and said to Qiao Nian gently, "I saw Dean Zhong. I'll take you to meet him after the banquet."
Qiao Nian had no objection, so he hummed politely, "Okay."
*
The first half of the Ji family banquet was no different from an ordinary banquet, with the waiters serving the dishes and everyone eating, drinking and chatting.
But their table was far back and almost inconspicuous.
Apart from them, no one from the independent continent was willing to sit at this table.
The whole time, Qiao Nian and the others were just eating and chatting by themselves.
It was almost over when people started handing out paper, pens and a tablet to each table.
"What is this for?"
