1923 You Can Find Out Where the Last Person Who Threatened Me Is



He regained the initiative, and his expression relaxed, as if everything was in his control again. He placed his hand on the table and casually raised his conditions. "You're indeed a direct descendant of the Ji family who has been wandering outside. Your mother is also a member of the Ji family. The family didn't know of your existence previously, so we didn't look for you. Now that you've entered the First Research Institute, it's considered a freak combination of factors that made the family notice your existence. I've already informed you of our stance. It's time for you to inform me of your stance…

"The Independent Continent isn't as simple as you think. The various forces here are intertwined. The internal situation is very complicated. It's not something you can face alone.

"Including this time. Your results shouldn't place you in the Level 3 laboratory. Do you know why you did?

"Because you're not from the Independent Continent."

"Those who are not of our race will only be ostracized and suppressed in the Independent Continent.

"The Nan family can protect you, but they're no longer as glorious as they were in the past. They have declined, especially in the research institute. There are no longer any of them left. If you want to rely on the Nan family, I'm afraid you're in the wrong place.

"Only the Ji family can bring you to a higher level."

Ji Hongyuan spoke quickly and steadily. His voice was old and authoritative as if he could foresee Qiao Nian's future. It was completely oppressive.

He looked at the girl with victory in his grasp. "I don't know your motive for entering the research institute, but you have to know that only the Ji family can help you! Returning to the Ji family is your best choice. The family will do its best to nurture you. We won't treat you differently just because you didn't grow up on the Independent Continent. The direct line of descent needs you to return."

Qiao Nian was about to leave. If he mentioned the Jiang family, she might not have listened to so much nonsense.

She had been listening patiently. At this moment, a string in her mind seemed to tighten, and her temples buzzed.

Barely suppressing her frustration, she turned around and looked at the old man, who still looked like he wanted to suppress her with his power.

Suddenly, she smiled. Her lips curved up arrogantly as she stared at him with her dark and clear eyes. "You can go out and ask around about the last person who threatened me with my family."

Ji Hongyuan was shocked by her wolf-like gaze. He did not reply immediately and only frowned. This result was, once again, beyond his expectations.

"I don't like to be threatened." Qiao Nian retracted her gaze. Her eyes were cold and dry, and her tone was cold. "I didn't intend to return to the Ji family, to begin with, let alone have such thoughts now. As for how I'll survive in the research institute in the future, this has nothing to do with you. I don't need to answer to you.

"I have a bad temper and my patience is limited. Don't call me again!"

With that, she ignored Ji Hongyuan and He Lin and strode out of the cafeteria.

He Lin felt an incomparable headache. He looked at the old man, who was sitting there in a daze, with a sad expression, and said anxiously, "Sixth Hall Master, she has already left. What should we do now?"

Ji Hongyuan came back to his senses. His expression darkened, but it didn't look good. He only sneered and watched the girl leave. "Young people are arrogant. She'll know how to lower her head when she suffers in the research institute!"

He Lin also looked in the girl's direction. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

He didn't think Qiao Nian would lower her head.
