Chapter 2814: Do You Think This Matter Will End So Easily?
How mysterious and powerful were the reclusive families and the Privy Council to outsiders...
However, in Ye Wangchuan's eyes, it was just an organization with a rotten internal structure. It would collapse sooner or later.
Before coming, Elder Xue had already guessed that Ye Wangchuan might also be leaving. But he was still a little stunned and in disbelief upon hearing it with his own ears.
However, since things had already reached this point, he did not say anything else. He walked forward and handed Qiao Nian a pendant.
"This jade pendant is stamped with my seal. Take it. It might be useful one day."
When Qiao Nian did not take it, he looked into the girl's eyes and continued, "Use this to write to me or show someone if something happens and you need to use my name. At least you can travel freely."
This jade pendant had a powerful background. It could be considered a token of his. Most of the people from the reclusive families knew about this item.
Qiao Nian could tell how precious it was. Looking away, she pursed her lips and said, "I can't take it.'
Elder Xue stuffed the pendant into her hand. "I don't have any other motives for giving it to you. You don't have to feel burdened or feel that it's not good to take my things.
"I'm giving it to you because we have the same Eastern blood flowing in us. We're ostracized in such a place and can never really integrate into it... But you're stronger than me. You dare to do today what I didn't dare to do in the past. 1 admire you."
He returned to his usual indifference. "Take the pendant. Use it when you need it in the future. If you don't need it, forget it. I won't take it back. Of course, I know you might not need it."
The jade pendant indeed represented him. However, a pendant was simply a pendant. Humans were humans. If something really happened, it might not be able to help Qiao Nian much.
He could only do this much for her.
He represented the Conservatives and his family's interests. He couldn't fall out with the Empress just because of a personal relationship.
Seeing that he was sincere, Qiao Nian did not insist on returning it to him. She accepted the jade pendant and raised her eyebrows. "Alright, I'll remember this favor.'
Done with his business here, Elder Xue was about to leave when he thought of something. He turned around and asked her, "When do you plan to leave?"
Qiao Nian stopped in her tracks and looked at him in surprise. She lowered her head to think before saying, "I'll leave when my brother's done with his matters here. Then. I'll go back to the independent continent. I still have something to do at the research institute."
Elder Xue nodded.
He thought of Qiao Nian's friend who looked like the archbishop and tactfully did not mention Xu Yi. Instead, he said, "Leave as soon as possible."
The Empress had become more and more imbalanced over the years. He was afraid that Qiao Nian would be in danger if she continued to stay.
Moreover, Leonard was eyeing Qiao Nian covetously, waiting to make things difficult for her...
Qiao Nian also knew what he was worried about, so she nodded darkly. "I know." Elder Xue did not delay any further. He turned around and entered the elevator. In the apartment.
Qin Si and Gu San heard everything. They were talking about it when the girl returned.
Ye Wangchuan walked forward upon seeing her. His voice was low and hoarse, and it was obvious that he had something on his mind.. "Do you think this matter will end so easily?"
