Chapter 1733 - 1733 Loneliness!

1733 Loneliness!

He didn’t say anything else and retracted his gaze with the same contemptuous attitude. He did not take a foreign country bumpkin to heart and changed the topic to Ji Nan’s sudden return. He discussed it with Ji Ziyin and the others.

…

After the banquet ended, Ji Ziyin and a small force behind her were investigating Qiao Nian’s background.

The other factions who had attended the banquet that night were also secretly looking for all kinds of connections to investigate Qiao Nian’s background and identity.

If Torre’s capture by the Bright Gate caused a small number of people on the Independent Continent to notice Qiao Nian, the Ji family’s banquet this time made more people in the Independent Continent pay attention to an ‘ordinary student’ from Qing University.

However, the results of their overnight investigation were similar to Ji Ziyin’s.

Qiao Nian’s identity and background could not be any cleaner!

She was a girl who had grown up in Rao City. After the college entrance examination ended, she entered a famous school in Beijing. Her grades were average since she was young, but she suddenly worked hard in her third year of high school. Her college entrance examination results were unexpectedly good. She was accepted by the Chinese Medicine Department of Qing University and was fancied by two good teachers. However, one of them was a Chinese Medicine master, and the other was a master of konghou. Both of them had nothing to do with black gunpowder…

They couldn’t find anything else.

They only found information about Qiao Nian’s studies, including her life background. She didn’t even have many friends.

“Could it really be a coincidence? Can a girl who studies well and usually reads a few related books get lucky?”

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

It had been a long time since anyone had caused such a huge commotion, but this time, the entire Independent Continent was a little shaken. Undercurrents began to surge under the calm waters.

The next day.

Qiao Nian woke up early.

She did not sleep well last night. She video-called Ye Wangchuan and only hung up in the wee hours of the morning. She even went online to erase some information related to her before she slept.

For example, information about Liang Bowen and Chen Yuan.

She did this in case some people in the Independent Continent extended their hands too far.

Master Cheng and the rest also woke up early in the morning. The group packed their luggage and went straight to the airport.

Qiao Nian sent Ye Wangchuan a message before she boarded the plane. Then, she turned off her phone, took out her blindfold and earplugs, and found a comfortable position to catch up on her sleep.

The plane was very stable. They almost did not encounter any turbulence along the way.

Qiao Nian slept comfortably.

More than ten hours later, the plane landed at the Capital International Airport.

Master Cheng and the others were old. They expressed that they wanted to go home as soon as they got off the plane.

Jiang Zongjin also wanted to return and put his luggage away, so he asked Qiao Nian, “Nian Nian, are you going back?”

There was a ten-hour time difference between the Independent Continent and Beijing.

It should be almost evening on the Independent Continent.

It was only 11:30 PM in Beijing. The weather was warm in October, and the sky was clear. A breeze blew past, and the temperature was just right. It was more than 20 degrees Celsius, and girls in long-sleeved shirts and short skirts could be seen everywhere in the lukewarm weather.

Qiao Nian bought a cup of coffee from the vending machine. Just as she opened the can, passersby looked curiously in her direction.

She lowered her cap a little and took a sip of iced coffee. Then, she held the can and said frivolously, “No, I’m meeting someone for dinner. I’m going to eat before going back.”
