She raised her eyelids, and there was a faint blood color in her eyes. She looked cold and arrogant. "You said there is an event going on in the Independent Continent?"
Ji Nan has learned a lot from the Second Elder these days. Upon hearing this, a hint of annoyance appeared on his handsome face: "Well, it's a small treasure hunting game. All the forces in the Independent Continent that have a little bit of reputation will participate."
"It will be held at Mingshui Mansion this year. It is said that the hidden object this time is a 21-carat diamond, which has some historical origins and is very expensive."
In the past, in such activities attended by various forces in the Independent Continent, the Ji family always won the first place, which was also a disguised proof of the Ji family's unique status in the Independent Continent.
It’s hard to say since Ji Lingfeng is still in a coma in the hospital this year.
"I have had a brief discussion with the Second Elder, and we will not participate this year." Ji Nan didn't want her to worry, so he tried to look relaxed: "An occasional absence shouldn't have much of an impact."
He said it lightly, but in fact he knew very well how big the impact would be if he didn't go this time.
The Ji family's absence from this collective activity at this moment is equivalent to telling others that Ji Lingfeng's illness has caused the Ji family to become less powerful than before.
But if he forced people to participate and ended up not getting the gem, that would be equally embarrassing!
After all, it was the Ji family that got the things in the past, but this year they can’t… the result is just as embarrassing.
He discussed it carefully with the Second Elder and others. Between the two options of being embarrassed, they reluctantly chose the less embarrassing one - absence.
Qiao Nian tapped his fingers on the table, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "I'll go."
"?" Ji Nan frowned and objected immediately: "No!"
Qiao Nian glanced at him.
Ji Nan thought she didn't know the rules of the game, so he immediately said, "This game only looks at the results, not the process. Participants are not responsible for any accidents that happen among them! There have been no accidents among the Ji family before, and that's because others are afraid of the Ji family's power. This time is different... It's too risky for you to go!"
Qiao Nian himself is prone to offend villains.
Those people usually don’t find an opportunity to take action. If Qiao Nian represents the Ji family to participate in this game and something unexpected happens in the middle... it’s hard to say what will happen.
Ji Nan would not agree to let her go no matter what. "I have already discussed it with the Second Elder and the others, so don't worry about it. If it really doesn't work, I will find someone else in the family, but that person will definitely not be you."
Even Xie Yun disagreed with Qiao Nian taking the risk: "Ji Nan is right. Nian Nian, you should not go. It's really too dangerous."
Mingshui Manor is closed during the game.
They can see what is happening inside through ubiquitous surveillance, but they have no way to intervene immediately to prevent accidents from happening.
The Ji family needs an opportunity to prove their strength, but this is definitely not the time!
Qiao Nian had already stood up with his legs propped up, his eyebrows and eyes were very annoyed, and it was obvious that he hadn't listened: "I have already decided."
Ji Nan's eyes widened and he clenched his fists tightly: "Qiao Nian! Stop it."
He seldom calls girls by their names, and when he is serious he will just call them SUN at most.
This was the first time that Ji Nan called someone by his full name.
The girl simply raised her hand and pulled the collar of her sweatshirt, raising it high to cover her snow-white jawline, and stared at Ji Nan with a pair of clear and penetrating dark eyes.
"Can the Ji family afford to wait?"
"… "
Ji Nan's face turned pale, and he turned his head to the side, saying in a low voice: "Then you don't need to take risks!"
Otherwise, when his father wakes up and finds out, he will definitely get up from the hospital bed and beat him to death~!
