Chapter 3446: Sister Nian: Just This Once!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Nian understood what he meant. Ji Lingfeng only had He Lin now. He could use the others, but he wouldn’t feel safe.
Mo Dong and Qin Si were both looking at her.
Bo Jingxing had gone to work and wasn’t around.
Ye Wangchuan’s fringe covered his eyes, giving him a different aura as he handed her a water bottle. “… Do you still not care?”
Qiao Nian looked at the water bottle with throbbing temples. She wanted to say she didn’t care, but her throat was stuck. Every time she wanted to say something, she would think of what Ji Nan had said to her.
“My dad gave me the only lifeboat.
“Before sending me away, he only asked me to protect you and not repeat his tragedy.
“He knew that the trip to Continent M was dangerous. Uncle He and I advised him not to go. We don’t know why he insisted on going.”
Qiao Nian gulped as she lowered the brim of her cap. “Just this once!”

The Ji family’s old residence hadn’t been peaceful the past two days.
Ji Lingfeng’s plan failed, and the elders and hall masters now knew what he wanted to do.
Although they tacitly did not mention what happened that day, they were now careful and refused to surrender their weapons before entering.
Of course, Ji Lingfeng’s remaining power was still there.
They didn’t dare to bring their weapons to meet Ji Lingfeng. If both sides took a step back, the elders and hall masters would have to hand their weapons to the acpanying members before meeting Ji Lingfeng.
But they could bring two to three people to the old residence.
In the afternoon.
He Lin hurriedly went to look for Ji Lingfeng in the study, stopping outside by Second Elder’s men.
“Assistant He, the elder is discussing something important with the Patriarch. It’s better if you don’t disturb him.”
He Lin frowned and waved the person away. “I have something important to report to the Patriarch.”
The person’s eyes flashed. He actually stopped him again.
“Assistant He, the Patriarch and the others are discussing Miss Qiao. It’s not appropriate for us to barge in. I hope you can cooperate!”
Discussing Miss Qiao?
He Lin stopped in his tracks and looked at him. “How much longer is it going to take?”
The man looked down. “Soon, I think.”
He Lin could only wait outside.
He waited for nearly an hour, but there was no sign the meeting was ending.
He couldn’t wait any longer and tried to enter the study.
That person beat him to it again. “The Patriarch and the others will finish in half an hour at most. If Assistant He is in a hurry, you can wait in the courtyard. You can see the Patriarch in half an hour.”
Half an hour was indeed not a long time pared to the one hour he had already waited. He Lin was suppressed again.
He frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
However, the other party looked like he was just doing his job and not letting him disturb an important conversation. He could only size up the other party. He was apprehensive since they had been in an awkward situation with the elders and hall masters recently. He pursed his lips and said, “I’m going to take a walk.”
***
He didn’t go far. He only walked around the study.
He Lin could hear Ji Lingfeng’s voice ing from inside. But it was not clear due to the soundproofing.
At the very least, he could tell Ji Lingfeng was safe.
He Lin was relieved.
