The bodyguard did not understand.
Elder Xue said calmly, “Right now, the independent continent, the illegal district, and Beijing are all watching us. If we dare to shoot down the plane, they will definitely make a move. At that time, it will shake the reclusive families’ foundations! Therefore, we can’t make a move nor…”
He did not finish the second half of his sentence.
They couldn’t make a move.
Nor did they dare to!
In fact, it was their not daring that was key in this decision.
Back then, Ji Qing’s matter did not cause the reclusive families to ‘not dare to move’, but Qiao Nian… Elder Xue’s breathing was a little tight, and it felt like a huge rock was pressing on his heart. He was indescribably frustrated.
At this point, Qiao Nian had already exceeded everyone’s imagination. Even he could only adopt a gentle policy and not start a conflict with her.
“Let’s go.” Seeing that the elevator had already gone up, Elder Xue saw no need to stay any longer. He turned around and expressionlessly asked the bodyguards to follow.
The two bodyguards looked at each other, not understanding what he meant by “independent continent, illegal district, and Beijing” targeting the reclusive families.
It was still possible for Beijing to target the reclusive families.
After all, these people came from Beijing.
However, the independent continent and the illegal district had always been unregulated. When had there been a conflict with them?
Although they did not know, they did not dare to provoke the green-robed old man. They could only follow him obediently out of the hotel.

Qiao Nian and the others took the evening flight.
They took off at seven sharp in the evening.
Because it was Ye Wangchuan’s private plane, it was spacious, low-key, and comfortable in all aspects.
As soon as Qiao Nian got on the plane, she found a relatively quiet spot and asked the flight attendant for a blanket, an eye mask, and earplugs. Then, she immediately fell asleep.
Everyone knew she did not like taking planes, so no one disturbed her. Qin Si tacitly gave up the area where Qiao Nian was sleeping and ran to the side to find someone to play poker with.
During the 10-hour flight from Continent M to Beijing, Qiao Nian slept almost the entire flight. She only woke up when they were almost there. She pulled off her blindfold and watched them play cards.
Luo Qing and the others could not help but sleep for part of the journey. Only Qin Si was a night owl. The more he played, the more energetic he became.
When Qiao Nian approached, the people playing cards had already changed from Luo Qing and Jiang Tianzhi to Ye Wangchuan and Yu Wenhao, plus someone from the Ninth Branch to make up the numbers.
Gu San just watched Ye Wangchuan play.
Qiao Nian walked over. “What are you playing?”
Gu San was shocked to hear her voice. He turned to look at the girl before saying, “Young Master Qin and Master Wang are playing cards.”
“Oh.” Of course, Qiao Nian could tell that they were playing cards. She wanted to know what they were playing.
The others also saw her.
Qin Si greeted her warmly. “Sister Qiao, you’re awake.”
The other person from the Ninth Branch also greeted her with a smile.
Only Yu Wenhao clenched his cards tightly. He was a little uneasy and had a complicated expression on his face. His lips quivered slightly, but he did not make a sound.
Fortunately, the girl did not notice him. She walked behind Ye Wangchuan and reached for a bottle of water. She spoke lazily as if she had just woken up. “You guys play.”
Ye Wangchuan put down his cards and handed her a tissue. “Do you want to play?”
Qiao Nian glanced at him before silently taking the tissue and wiping her hands.
Qin Si’s eyes lit up and he called out to the girl, “That’s right, Sister Qiao. Since you’re awake, let’s play a few rounds together~”
As if afraid that Qiao Nian would refuse, he pointed at the chips piled up in front of Ye Wangchuan and teased, “Don’t be afraid of losing. Master Wang won a lot. Help him lose some to us.”
