Chapter 3484: I Can’t Let You Take the Risk

Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking up with bloodshot eyes, she was cold and arrogant. “You said an event is being held in the independent continent?”

Ji Nan had learned a lot from Second Elder over the past few days. Upon hearing this, a little worry appeared on his handsome face. “Yes, it’s just a small treasure-hunting game. Any faction in the independent continent with a bit of status will participate.

“It’ll be held at Mingshui Mansion this year. It’s said that a 21-carat diamond is being used this time. It has some history and is quite expensive.”

In the past, the Ji family had always been able to take first place in such events as all the forces in the independent continent participated. This could also be considered as implicit proof of their status in the independent continent.

But this year, Ji Lingfeng was unconscious in the hospital. It was hard to say.

“Second Elder and I talked. We won’t be participating this year.” Ji Nan didn’t want her to worry and tried his best to look relaxed. “It shouldn’t affect us much if we’re absent once.”

Although he spoke casually, he knew well the impact it would cause if they didn’t go this time.

The Ji family’s absence from such a collective event was equivalent to telling others Ji Lingfeng’s illness caused the Ji family’s strength to plummet.

However, if they forcefully participated and failed to get the gem, it would also be a slap in the face!

After all, the Ji family always obtained the gem. But if they couldn’t get it this year… The outcome would be equally embarrassing.

He had a good discussion with Second Elder and the others. Between the two types of embarrassment, they reluctantly chose the less embarrassing choice—absence.

Qiao Nian subconsciously tapped the table with her finger. After a moment of silence, she said, “I’ll go.”

Ji Nan frowned and immediately objected. “No!”

Qiao Nian glanced at him.

Ji Nan thought she didn’t know the game rules and immediately explained, “This game only cares about results and not the process. No one’s going to be held responsible if anything happens to the participants! In the past, nothing happened to us because others were afraid of our power. This time’s different… It’s too risky for you to go!”

Qiao Nian easily provoked others.

Those people usually couldn’t find an opportunity to make a move. If Qiao Nian represented the Ji family in this game… it would be hard to say if something might happen.

Ji Nan would never agree to let her participate.

“I’ve already discussed it with Second Elder and the others. Don’t worry about this. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll find someone else to participate. But that person is definitely not you.”

Xie Yun also didn’t agree. “Ji Nan is right. Nian Nian, don’t go. This is too dangerous.”

Mingshui Mansion would be closed for the duration of the game.

They could see what was happening inside through the surveillance cameras, but they couldn’t intervene immediately to prevent any accidents from happening.

Qiao Nian stood up with her legs propped up. Her eyes were quite dry, and it was obvious that she wasn’t listening. “I’ve already decided.”

Ji Nan’s eyes widened and he clenched his fists. “Qiao Nian! Stop fooling around.”

He rarely called the girl by her name. When serious, he would at most call her Sun.

This was the first time Ji Nan called her by her full name.

The girl just pulled the collar of her sweater, covering her snow-white jawline. Her dark eyes were clear as she stared at Ji Nan.

“Can the Ji family afford to wait?”

Silence.

Ji Nan’s face turned pale. He avoided her gaze and said in a low and hoarse voice, “I don’t want you to take the risk!”

Otherwise, when his father woke up and found out, he would definitely beat him to death!
