1720 Sister Nian Was Arranged to Sit at the Last Table at the Ji Family’s Banquet
“Okay, whatever you want.” Qiao Nian really couldn’t remember the exact time. She only remembered that Nie Mi said it was early in the morning.
As for what time it was… She was wiping the water from her hair and did not hear it clearly.
He looked at her fair side profile and said softly, “The Ji family has an extraordinary status in the Independent Continent. Since they invited you, you can just go with Master Cheng and the others. Don’t worry too much.”
The Ji family’s banquet was absolutely safe. There were all kinds of people in the Independent Continent, but not many people would dare to cause trouble at the Ji family’s banquet.
This was also why he was relieved that Qiao Nian would go there.
The Ji family was big. Even if their purpose in inviting Qiao Nian this time was more or less probing and suspicious, they were definitely not the kind of people who did not care about etiquette.
It wasn’t a big deal if Qiao Nian went.
“I’ll get Gu San to accompany you.” Ye Wangchuan was still not completely at ease.
Qiao Nian wasn’t too worried. She crossed her legs and sat there crookedly, her eyes as dark as a cold lake. The corners of her mouth curled up into a wanton smile. She was quite arrogant. “There’s no need. Since I dare to go, I’m not afraid of what will happen at the banquet. Besides, didn’t you say that they are a big family? Nothing dangerous will happen at their banquet. They will only make them pay more attention to me if I bring someone along.”
Seeing her cynical look, he felt that she would not be too low-key if she brought Gu San along to the banquet.
No matter how many people racked their brains, they could not enter the Ji family’s banquet.
Her indifferent attitude was a stark contrast to those people.
How could it not be eye-catching?
“I can’t go with you on that day. I’ll tell the people who are going to take care of you.” He really didn’t want her to go alone. He said in a hoarse voice, “Nian Nian, text me if you need anything.”
Actually, Qiao Nian really didn’t take the banquet to heart. She only had one purpose for going—to check on Ji Qing!
However, at this moment, she seemed to receive some support.
“I got it.”
Even if she wouldn’t send him a message, Qiao Nian still nodded and agreed.

Two days later.
In the evening.
Qiao Nian followed Master Cheng and the others to the Ji family’s banquet.
Compared to the cocktail party she attended at the Paradise Hotel a few days ago, the Ji family’s banquet was clearly more proper.
Master Cheng took the lead and gave the doorman their invitation.
The doorman immediately led them in when he saw their invitation.
There were dozens of tables in the magnificent banquet hall, and already many people were inside. All of them were dressed up to the nines. It was obvious how important this banquet was.
Qiao Nian and the others were all wearing casual clothes.
Master Cheng and the others were wearing their daily clothes.
She was the only girl among the ten or so people. Qiao Nian was even more low-key than the men. She was wearing casual clothes and a cap. Compared to the other female guests who were wearing high-end gowns, Qiao Nian’s outfit could be considered an anomaly.
They were dressed in inconspicuous clothes and were unfamiliar faces.
The doorman naturally led them to the most inconspicuous table at the back and arranged for them to sit down before walking away.
Master Cheng and the others did not mind. It was fine as long as they had seats.
Qiao Nian sat further inside, hoping to have some space.
Nie Mi and Jiang Zongjin sat down on either side of her. The others were even more casual. Other than giving the main seat to Master Cheng, no one was too particular about their seats.
“That guy over there is from the Hacker Alliance.”
