Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Shi Fu had heard from Feng Yu early in the morning that Qiao Nian had agreed to enter the Privy Council. He had been distracted the entire morning.

At noon, he finally could not sit still and went to the girl’s private laboratory to look for her.

Qiao Nian applied for an independent laboratory from Feng Yu. This laboratory was for her to use alone, and no one knew what she was researching.

Feng Yu was very tolerant of this and quickly approved the small laboratory for her.

Other than Xu Yi, no one else had entered Qiao Nian’s laboratory before.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Having just finished a reactor experiment, the girl took off her silicone gloves and walked to the computer to record the data. Then, she said without looking up, “Come in.”

Shi Fu pushed the door open and entered.

He immediately saw the reactor on the experiment table.

The chemical reagent inside had already burned into a charred mixture, but after all, he had been doing experiments for decades.

He could tell what kind of experiment the girl was doing at a glance.

Qiao Nian memorized the data she had just obtained and looked up. Her eyebrows raised in surprise when she saw that it was Shi Fu.

However, she did not deliberately hide what was on her experiment table. Instead, she walked to the water dispenser and fetched a glass of water for him.

Then, she leaned against the experiment table and asked, “Why are you looking for me?”

Shi Fu came back to his senses and took the water from her. He held it for a long time before saying, “I’m sorry about what happened before.”

Qiao Nian was confused.

What happened before?

She could not remember for a moment.

Seeing that she was silent, Shi Fu pursed his lips and said with difficulty, “l shouldn’t have said that about you before. Don’t take what I said to heart.”

Realization flashed across Qiao Nian’s dark eyes. She finally understood what he was talking about. She raised her hand and casually said, “l forgot about it.”

He heaved a sigh of relief, and a rare smile appeared on his serious face. He

lowered his head and took a sip of water before looking up at her. “If you want to enter the Privy Council, you have to go through their review. You’ll also have to start as a newcomer.

“The newcomers of the Privy Council usually don’t have the right to speak, especially since they discriminate against Easterners.”

After all, the Privy Council was an organization formed by the main members of the reclusive families, and most of them were Westerners.

Oriental faces were often excluded and discriminated against there.

It was just like how Qiao Nian and the others would naturally be looked down upon in Country M!

Deep down, they did not approve of Easterners.

Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and smiled. “Is that so? I also discriminate against idiots.”

Seeing her unruly look, Shi Fu did not know why, but he was no longer worried about her. “It’s good that you think that way. As long as you don’t take them seriously, they are just ordinary people.”

Qiao Nian was rarely surrounded by actual ‘ordinary people’.

She did not have much sense of mystery or reverence for an organization like the Privy Council. She just felt that the Privy Council was good at pretending to be profound to outsiders.magic

Before leaving, Shi Fu looked at her experiment table again. He stopped in his tracks and said, “I’ve seen her do this experiment before. If you encounter any difficulties, you can look for me. I’ll try my best to help you.”

Qiao Nian watched as he left. She blinked slowly and held back what she wanted to ask.

Why did she feel that her mentor seemed to have a different feeling for Ji Qing?

Qiao Nian rubbed her face and shook off this thought. She went back to the computer and continued to check the data..
