Old Xue's eyelids twitched, and he lifted them without beating around the bush: "I think what the Queen said makes sense."
Jacob brought two cups of coffee to the two of them, put them down gently, and stood obediently in the corner.
The middle-aged man seemed to have not expected such a big change in his attitude. The hand that was stretched out to take the coffee stopped in mid-air, and the look in his eyes became strange when he looked at him.
"When did you become so close to the Queen?"
Conservatives and the Queen have never been on good terms.
His seemingly incoherent words were actually asking Mr. Xue about his current position.
"You don't need to test me." Elder Xue said frankly in the face of his determination, "I am only loyal to the hidden family."
"The Queen was too powerful in the past. In order to prevent her from turning the hidden family into her own personal weapon, I had to suppress her. The Archbishop also had this idea, so he became a neutral faction in the Privy Council and did not get involved with anyone."
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes dangerously, but did not refute: "Mr. Xue is now on the side of the Queen because...?"
"Qiao Nian is too strong." Elder Xue made no secret of his worries. He looked him in the eye and said bluntly, "If she takes over the Hidden World Family with this kind of personality in the future, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the Hidden World Family. I don't think she can inherit the position of Queen. Since she can't take over the Hidden World Family or become one of us in the future, it's better to kill her in the cradle as soon as possible while she is still young rather than leaving her outside and becoming an enemy. Just like... what we did before!"
Those who are not of my kind will not be kept!
This is the code of conduct of the hidden family.
He did not deny that he had been very optimistic about Qiao Nian for a long time, and even intended to support her to take a higher position in the Privy Council.
However, when he saw with his own eyes that Qiao Nian could go against the Hidden Family in order to find out the cause of Ji Qing's death, and almost ruined the Hidden Family's reputation several times, this idea quietly changed.
Qiao Nian has certain talents.
Ji Qing also had talent, so why didn't the Privy Council choose to spare Ji Qing's life? The reason was simple—Ji Qing was unwilling to work for the hidden family.
A genius refuses to surrender and is always hostile to the hidden family, so the only outcome that awaits her is destruction.
This is the season.
The same is true for Qiao Nian.
The archbishop understood his thoughts instantly and remained silent for a long time. He did not express his opinion as Elder Xue thought. Instead, he paused and gave an ambiguous answer: "I understand."
Elder Xue saw that he was still unwilling to stand on his side, so he didn't say anything. He looked at him with shrewd eyes and said, "Archbishop, we can't let Qiao Nian go on like this!"
Quentin looked at him.
Mr. Xue did not avoid his gaze, but stared at him straight. His fierce and determined look showed that he was determined.
Fortunately, Jacob received a call and hurried over. He handed the phone to the middle-aged man and whispered in a voice that both of them could hear: "Independence State phone number."
Quentin's expression softened, he reached out to take the phone, looked away, and returned to his usual cold and indifferent attitude: "I have something else to do, so I won't keep Mr. Xue."

The person Nie Qixing feared the most about this "accident" was Zhou Zheng.
He now had no idea whether it was Qiao Niandong's hand or Nie Qingru and the hidden family behind her.
Ever since the day he separated from Nie Qixing, he has been hiding, fearing that he would be found.
