"No." This time it was Qiao Nian who rejected him. Her eyes swept over the color of his lips and she said lightly, "You can stay in the Pharmacy Association. Elder Zhong will take care of you."
Ye Wangchuan was both amused and confused. His nose was straight and his lips were thin. There seemed to be little hooks in his eyes. The thick night melted into a pool of spring water: "Then I really have become a gigolo who lives off his wife."
Qiao Nian looked at him without blinking: "It's enough for me to know that you are not."
He has never been a gigolo. He is a strong supporter that she can trust with her back. However, no matter how strong the supporter is, he is still a human being.
He blocked the poison arrow for her, and now he was poisoned. It was one of the poisons developed by the Sixth Continent to implement the human extinction plan.
Qiao Nian couldn't find a reason for him to take the risk.
She turned around and said to Ji Lin, "You know his physical condition and you heard what we said. Keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything dangerous."
Ji Lin hesitated and glanced at the man, then met the girl's gaze, then thought about the consequences that Qiao Nian had mentioned before, and finally made up his mind not to look in Ye Wangchuan's direction anymore.
Ji Lin pursed his lips and said heavily: "Yes! Miss Qiao."

Qiao Nian said that he wanted to go to the sixth continent, but that didn't mean he could go to the island right away.
Mu Qingtian's sudden death triggered a long-buried conflict within the Sixth Continent. Several families, led by the Stone family, who had clearly defected to Mu Qingtian, went to the manor several times to discuss details with Mu Di in a desperate attitude.
Mu Di has been protected too well by Mu Qingtian over the years. He seems to be decisive, mature and reliable, but in fact he is a person without his own opinion.
In the past, Mu Qingtian was there for everything, so Mu Di did things without hesitation, and his lack of independent thinking was not prominent.
Now that Mu Qingtian had died suddenly, the Mu family had lost its backbone. The Stone family needed him to be the backbone, and he was exposed. After he hesitated for several times and couldn't make a decision, the Stone family leader couldn't wait for his attitude, so they simply left Mu Di behind and joined forces with several other families that were deeply tied to the Mu family to ambush the car that the ten elders were traveling in that afternoon...
The result is predictable.
The Tenth Elder had been prepared for this. He used the excuse that the Stone family had ambushed him to wipe out all those who opposed him, especially the Stone family, whom he almost wiped out.
Upon hearing this, Moody went to find his uncle and asked him to let him go.
The ten elders calmly chose an 8-year-old child from among the few old and disabled people left in the Stone family to be the new patriarch of the Stone family.
Then, in the name of Theron, the Irene family will manage the Stone family's assets.
This not only gave Moody face, but also blocked the possibility of the Stone family rising again.
Such a thunderous move reminded all the major families on the island that this old Seron was a tough guy and not someone to be trifled with. Some families that were still watching the development of the situation immediately surrendered and submitted to the Ten Elders. In the blink of an eye, the power that Mu Qingtian had spent more than ten years to build was mostly dissipated...
Only at this time did Mu Di think of listening to Mu Qingtian and consolidating the Mu family's situation through marriage, but when he came again, he went to see Ailinwo in person.
The head of the Irene family changed his father's attitude of actively promoting marriage between the two sides when he was alive. His face wrapped in a black Taoist robe was dull and expressionless. He took a sip of tea and casually interrupted his unfinished words.
"I remember that you, my dear nephew, didn't like Eleanor and protested to your father several times... You liked Lina."
"I don't want to embarrass you. If you don't like it, forget it. The marriage we talked about before is invalid. You and Eleanor are still brother and sister."
