At the same time.

Qiao Nian hadn’t been idle for the past two days. She had gone over the Ji family’s situation.

Mo Dong handed her a stack of documents. Qiao Nian took some time to read them before realizing that the Ji family’s situation was worse than she thought.

The Ji family was without a master for the half-year Ji Lingfeng was absent.

The elders with real power and the powerful hall masters went through internal strife in private, all fighting for more authority.

During this period, they treated Xie Yun and Ji Nan as their masters on the surface, but they each did their own thing in private.

The Ji family was on the verge of collapse, with chaos abounding!

Bam—!

Qiao Nian threw the document on the table. Her lips curled up as she licked her lower lip. Her smile did not reach her eyes as she said coldly, “This is the family they’re willing to sacrifice their lives to protect? Look at these people. Which one of them takes them seriously! He’s not dead yet. Everyone is queuing up to split the inheritance.”

Ye Wangchuan walked over and pressed her shoulder. “Don’t be angry. These people aren’t worth it.”

“I just think… it’s not worth it.” Qiao Nian’s anger froze as she rubbed the space between her eyebrows.

She reached for the lighter in her pocket. When her fingertips touched the hard shell of the lighter, she thought of something and took out a candy. She peeled off the wrapper and threw it into her mouth.

The sweetness washed away her bitterness and slightly suppressed her frantic heartbeat and violent emotions.

Qin Si noticed it and was surprised. “Sister Qiao, when did you like eating candy? What brand is it?”

“I bought it casually.” Qiao Nian had no intention of sharing it with him. Her answer was quite perfunctory.

At this moment, Mo Dong interrupted, “Miss Qiao, although I shouldn’t mention it, I think I have to tell you.”

Qiao Nian twirled the candy with her tongue and pressed it inside her mouth, not in a good mood. “Tell me.”

“Mm.”

Mo Dong did not delay and went straight to the point.

“Apart from what I’ve found out, I received another piece of news before I came in. The Ji family’s third hall in the south has somehow hooked up with the Tongji Society. They want the batch of goods the Ji family sent from Continent F.”

“Goods?”

“Mm.”

Mo Dong continued, “That batch of goods was from a collaboration between the Ji family and a mine in Continent F half a year before Emperor Ji’s accident. According to the previously agreed time, today is the handover. That batch of goods contains the Ji family’s core technology. It’s also the black gunpowder technology that only the direct descendants can learn…”

He observed Qiao Nian’s reaction.

“The third southern hall and the Tongji Society should be challenging Emperor Ji’s authority by intercepting this batch of goods. Moreover, they can study the core technology through these intercepted goods…”

The girl’s beautiful eyes looked straight at him. “What about Ji Lingfeng? What’s his reaction?”

As expected of Bright Gate’s intelligence expert, Mo Dong immediately said, “Emperor Ji was tied up by the people from the Elder Hall and hasn’t discovered their abnormal movements yet.”

Qiao Nian pursed her lips into a straight line. A storm brewed in her eyes, and flames threatened to spew out. Then, she remembered she didn’t care and pulled down her baseball cap.

Mo Dong touched the bridge of his nose and spoke up for Ji Lingfeng. “To be honest, it’s been quite difficult for Emperor Ji ever since the news of his serious illness spread. Besides the factions loyal to him, the neutral and opposing factions are planning for the future and only pay him lip service.”
