The elders looked at her in confusion.
Xie Yun covered her mouth as she looked at them with a smile. “I called all the uncles here so late to share the good news with you—Ji Nan is fine! He just called me and told me he’s safe. He’s in Continent F at this moment.’
The elders felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
After a short silence, they immediately started talking noisily.
“Is Ji Nan alright?”
“Why wasn’t there any news before?”
“Ji Nan is fine. In that case, Patriarch…” Someone was so frightened that his back broke out in cold sweat.
Xie Yun knew what they were afraid of and lightly said, “Ji Nan is staying in Continent F to find his father.’
The elders looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
They realized that their reaction was too big. It was obvious that they did not want Ji Nan to survive. They revealed awkward expressions and tried to explain. “We’re just worried…”
“l know.” Xie Yun had no intention of arguing with them.
The elders shut their mouths.
Dead silence permeated the Righteousness Hall.
Xie Yun was not in a hurry this time.
Finally, someone broke the silence. “Since Young Master Nan is still alive, let’s shelve the talk about making Ji Ziyin the matriarch.” Xie Yun looked at him coldly.
The other party looked away, not daring to meet her eyes.
Xie Yun sneered inside. She knew that they were not giving up and still wanted to use Ji Ziyin to replace Ji Nan.
After all, Ji Ziyin had an advantage over Ji Nan—the weapons manufacturing that the Ji family relied on for survival. Hence, if they insisted on using this as an excuse, Ji Nan did not have the advantage.
Xie Yun did not show her dissatisfaction and only smiled gracefully. “Uncles, let’s wait for Ji Nan to come back first.”
The next day.
Qiao Nian woke up at dawn.
The morning air in Continent F was relatively thin. When one breathed, they would exhale a ball of white fog, and the cold air would hit their faces.
Qiao Nian washed her face with cold water, picked up the baseball cap on the table, and put it on. Then, she walked to the window, picked up her shoulder bag that had been thrown on the chair, and took out her black laptop. She had just placed it on the table when the screen of her cell phone flashed. Qiao Nian grabbed the phone and looked down. [Are you up?]
Ye Wangchuan had sent her a message at 11:00 PM last night asking about Ji
Nan.
She was jet-lagged last night, so she took medicine and went to bed early.
Qiao Nian rubbed her temples, trying to suppress a migraine, before typing a reply.
Dark Fort’s stronghold
Ye Wangchuan had been up for an hour.
He had just finished reading the shipping records for the past few years when his cell phone lit up.
He immediately put down what he was doing and picked it up.
Sure enough, it was a WeChat message.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Wangchuan’s face as he leaned back in the chair relaxedly and read the message.
[Q: Ji Nan is fine, I’m going to the sea to take a look.] Qiao Nian’s reply was as simple and clear as ever.
However, the corners of Ye Wangchuan’s lips curled up.
Seeing his beaming face, the hairs of the people who came in to report stood on end. Then, they hurriedly lowered their heads and softly reported, “Master Wang, there’s progress in the Black Sea..”
