To outsiders, the hidden families and the Privy Council seem so mysterious and powerful...
In his eyes, it was just an organization that was extremely corrupt from within, and this building would collapse sooner or later.
Before coming, Mr. Xue had guessed that Ye Wangchuan might also leave. When he heard with his own ears that he entered the Privy Council just to accompany Qiao Nian, he was still a little surprised and couldn't believe it.
But at this point, he didn't say anything to keep her. He walked up to Qiao Nian and handed her a pendant.
"This is my symbol. Take it. It may be useful to you someday."
“It’s a seal.”
Seeing that Qiao Nian didn't reach out, he looked into the girl's eyes and continued, "You can use this to write to me or show it to them when you encounter something. At least you can get through it without any obstacles."
This jade pendant of his has a great origin and can be considered as a personal token of his. Most people in the secluded family know about this thing.
Qiao Nian heard the preciousness of this thing, slightly turned sideways, avoided his hand, pursed her lips and said: "I can't have it."
But Elder Xue stuffed the pendant into her hand and looked up at her: "I have no other purpose in giving it to you. You don't have to feel any psychological burden or think that it's not good to take my things."
"I gave it to you because we have the same oriental blood. We are both ostracized in places like this and will never be able to truly integrate into them... But you are better than me. You have the courage to do what I have never done, so I admire you."
He returned to his usual rigid and indifferent attitude: "Take this thing. If you need it in the future, use it. If you don't, forget it. I won't take back what I give away. Of course, I know you may not need it."
The jade pendant he gave can indeed represent him, but a pendant is a pendant and a person is a person. If something really happens, it may not be able to help Qiao Nian much.
He just invested so much.
He represents the interests of the conservatives and his own family descendants. It is impossible for him to fall out with the Queen just for a sentiment.
Qiao Nian saw that he was sincere in giving her the jade pendant, so she didn't insist on returning it to him. She accepted the jade pendant, raised her eyebrows and said to him, "Okay, I'll remember this favor."
After Xue Lao finished what he had come for, he was ready to leave. Before leaving, he remembered something and turned around to ask her, "When do you plan to leave Continent M?"
Qiao Nian saw him out, then stopped and looked at him in surprise. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her eyes and said, "I'll go back with my brother after he finishes his work here. Then we'll go back to Independent Continent. I still have some unfinished business at the research institute."
Mr. Xue nodded.
He thought of Qiao Nian's friend at the research institute who looked like the archbishop, so he tactfully did not mention Xu Yi and instead said, "If you want to leave, leave as soon as possible."
The Queen's behavior has become more and more insane in recent years, and he is afraid that Qiao Nian will be in danger if he continues to stay.
What's more, there's Leonard standing by, waiting to make trouble for Qiao Nian...
Qiao Nian also knew what he was worried about, so she nodded, her dark eyes deep: "I know."
Mr. Xue didn't waste any more time. He spoke a few brief words to her, then turned, got into the elevator, and went downstairs to find the driver.

In the apartment.
Qin Si and Gu San heard it clearly. They were talking about Qiao Nian being kicked out of the Privy Council when the girl came back from outside.
Ye Wangchuan watched her enter the room, walked forward, and said in a low and hoarse voice, obviously with something on his mind: "Do you think things will end so easily?"
