Chapter 1721 - 1721 Ji Ziyin, the Ji Family’s Genius
1721 Ji Ziyin, the Ji Family’s Genius
“The one on his left in blue is from the Lu family.”
Nie Mi immediately lowered his voice and introduced the identity of the people who had come to the banquet today to Qiao Nian as soon as he sat down. “Nian Nian, do you know the Lu family?”
Lu Zhi’s family?
Qiao Nian hummed and looked over. She saw a young man about the same age as Lu Zhi. He looked a little like Lu Zhi and had a gentle temperament. He looked easy to get along with and didn’t put on airs.
Nie Mi explained to her, “The three top forces in the Independent Continent have always been the Ji, Xie, and Nan families. However, in recent years, many new forces have risen. Other than Bright Gate, the Lu family is the most eye-catching.
“The Lu family is backed by Ji Lingfeng. Have you heard of him? He’s the current head of the Ji family. He’s always been very supportive of the Lu family. I heard that he has the intention to build a fourth family in the Independent Continent.
“However, there’s nothing to say about Lu Yiming. The real powerhouse of the Lu family is another person. Unfortunately, that person can only be considered half a member of the Lu family.”
Nie Mi said that it was a pity, but he only felt a little regretful. He continued, “There’s also a relatively important figure in the Ji family’s new generation.”
“Oh.” Qiao Nian wasn’t very interested. She glanced around casually, but a figure caught her attention.
Nie Mi also saw the person who came in and immediately smiled at her. “Heh, speak of the devil! I was about to tell you about the Ji family’s new generation when that person came in. Do you see him? That’s Ji Ziyin.
“She’s now the face of the Ji family’s new generation. I heard that she’s a genius in the field of black gunpowder. Her talent is rare.
“The Ji family even adopted her from the side family because of this. Her status in the Independent Continent is not ordinary. Many people want to build a relationship with her.”
Qiao Nian saw that the person was only in her early twenties. Compared to the others at the banquet who were dressed up, Ji Ziyin looked calmer. She was wearing a light yellow top and white suit pants. Her shirt was tucked into her pants’ waistband, making her look tall and outstanding.
However, Qiao Nian only took a glance before retracting her gaze.
She liked good-looking people who were pleasing to the eye. After seeing many of them, her mood would improve.
However, for some reason, Qiao Nian felt bored just by looking at Ji Ziyin.
She didn’t suit her taste.
Qiao Nian took one look and didn’t want to look anymore.
“The one next to Ji Ziyin is Ji—”
Next, Nie Mi explained a lot of the Independent Continent’s important people to her. Qiao Nian sat there quietly and listened to him, rarely expressing her opinions.
The banquet was about to begin when Zhong Yiliu and Lu Zhi came in one after the other.
They were one of the main guests of this banquet, so they were naturally arranged to be seated at the table in front.
It was far from where Qiao Nian and the others were sitting, so they didn’t see her table in the back row.
Master Cheng also saw Zhong Yiliu. He looked at Qiao Nian and said gently, “I see Dean Zhong. I’ll introduce you to him after the banquet ends.”
Qiao Nian had no objections. She nodded politely. “Okay.”

The first half of the banquet was no different from an ordinary banquet. The waiters served the dishes and everyone ate and chatted.
However, their table, especially at the back, was almost inconspicuous.
Other than them, no one from the Independent Continent was willing to sit at this table.
Throughout the entire process, Qiao Nian and the others ate and chatted by themselves.
When it was almost over, someone suddenly began to distribute paper, pens, and a tablet.
“What’s this for?”
