She remembered that when she climbed over the wall that day, she heard someone inside calling out to stop the Ji family members who were about to chase out. She was very familiar with that voice, at least she had heard it before.
Now that he mentioned Ji Lingfeng, Qiao Nian remembered that the voice that stopped the people from the Ji family and told them not to catch up that day was Ji Lingfeng's voice!
"That's strange... When you and Ji Ziyin had a conflict, he clearly stood on the other side and seemed very unfriendly to you."
Ye Wangchuan's eyes flickered, and he slowly spoke out a bold guess he had made in the past few days: "Niannian, have you ever thought that he might do this to... protect you?"
As soon as this guess was made, even Gu San found it a little unbelievable: "Master Wang, you are overthinking it. How could Emperor Ji...?"
Ye Wangchuan leaned against the cabinet beside the bed and asked him calmly, "Why not? Don't you understand the situation in the Independent Continent?"
Gu San still felt that it was a bit too much.
The Ji family has always been unfriendly to Miss Qiao, so why would Ji Lingfeng protect Miss Qiao
"The Ji family's direct line has declined, while the side branches have grown stronger, and the internal situation is not peaceful. If she goes back now, she will be roasted on the fire." Ye Wangchuan chuckled, as if he had guessed Ji Lingfeng's thoughts: "The more indifferent he is to Qiao Nian, the more people like Ji Xiao in the Ji family will not dare to act rashly, and Qiao Nian will be able to do what she wants in the Independent Continent. This is the simplest and most effective way to protect a person."
Ji Lingfeng chose to distance himself from her in order to protect her.
"What about Ji Zinyin?" Gu San still didn't believe it and thought of someone.
Ye Wangchuan looked contemptuous and whispered, "She? Of course, she is the biggest substitute that Ji Lingfeng has established for Qiao Nian in the Ji family."
It’s a pity that this substitute himself, including some self-righteous and ambitious people in the Ji family, thought that Ji Lingfeng really thought highly of Ji Zinyin.
He didn't believe that with Ji Lingfeng's skills and vision, he couldn't see that Ji Zinyin was not very strong and could not compare with Qiao Nian's methods.
"What you said... I need to think about it again..." Qiao Nian's head started to hurt again, and the cell phone placed beside him just happened to light up.
She took it carelessly, turned on the screen, and looked down to see the message from Feng Yu: [Someone from the Hidden Family has arrived.]
Qiao Nian sat up straight abruptly, half-narrowing his eyes with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.
What a coincidence.
Just as she found Ji Qing's relics, the hidden family showed up.

now.
Martin's residence.
He was arguing with an old man with white hair and beard, and his face was red. He clenched his fists and said, "How many times have I told you that Ji Ziyin is just a show-off!"
"…She relies entirely on the research results of others. She has no real ability at all!"
Although Martin's face was flushed, he was extremely excited and his voice was loud. However, the person opposite him was not moved at all: "Really? You are not close to Feng Yu, so you speak for him and slander an excellent young man."
Martin was so angry that his face turned blue. He clenched his fists and said angrily, "Old Yu, I, Martin, am not the villain you say I am."
"If she is really talented, I won't say bad things about her because of anyone."
"The fact is that she has no talent and only achieved those results by taking shortcuts! Those results are not her true abilities, they are shameful plagiarism!"
The old man sneered: "Where's the evidence?"
Martin jumped out angrily and gritted his teeth and said, "The people from the Independent State are all evidence. They all know about this!"
