Chapter 3581: She Felt A Dangerous Look Behind Her

Editor: Atlas Studios

Robert followed Shadow all the way to the first seat on the left of the main table and looked at the woman at the center of tonight’s conversation.

He greeted her with familiarity. “Long time no see, Your Majesty.”

“Mm.”

Nie Qingru nodded slightly and more gently before asking, “Why isn’t your teacher here?”

Robert did not dare to underestimate her casual question, and he replied very carefully, “Teacher asked me to come as he is in seclusion doing experiments.”

He had used this excuse on others before, and no one doubted it.

“Oh?” Nie Qingru stared at him after he finished speaking. Her eyes were calm and emotionless, but they were filled with oppression.

Robert’s heart skipped a beat. His intuition told him the other party had seen through his lame lie and might even know that Zhong Yiliu was in the independent continent.

However, he quickly composed himself and did not give himself away. He politely changed the topic. “Why did you call me over?”

Nie Qingru fiddled with the auction card in her hand. “I called you over to ask about Elder Zhong’s situation. Since your teacher is in seclusion, please convey my concern.”

“Will do.”

Robert looked down.

“I will convey the Empress’ concern to my teacher.”

Seeing that Nie Qingru seemed to have nothing else to say, he looked up at the front where the lights were focused and politely said, “The banquet is about to begin. Empress, I’ll stop disturbing you and return to my seat.”

“Go.” Nie Qingru’s thin lips curled up, and she became much calmer.

The lights in the banquet hall began to dim, a sign that the banquet was about to begin.

Robert was about to leave quietly when a cold, sinister voice suddenly came from behind.

“Why didn’t I know the Pharmacy Association had a laboratory in the independent continent?”

Robert’s heart pounded as he turned around and looked at Nie Qingru in shock.

She looked at him with a judgmental and disdainful gaze, as well as a hint of mockery. “He trusts Qiao Nian so much that he didn’t hesitate to offend me for a little girl who hasn’t even grown up.”

Robert’s heart beat even faster. Because of Nie Qingru’s explicit words, his heart was so agitated that it was about to jump out of his throat. If he hadn’t pinched his palm, he might not have been able to control his facial expression.

“Teacher is in the laboratory. As for what experiment he’s doing, it’s not my responsibility.” Robert knew without looking in the mirror that his expression must be pretty strange. It was definitely not calm.

Nie Qingru paused for a second when she heard this. Her sharp gaze swept across his face before she lost interest. “Okay, return to your seat.”

Robert walked away quickly. In the blink of an eye, he went to the back row to find his seat.noveldrama

After he left, Shadow floated out like a ghost and leaned over to whisper in Nie Qingru’s ear. “Empress, should we find an opportunity to ‘warn’ the Pharmacy Association?”

It was almost seven in the evening, and the banquet was about to begin.

Not many people paid attention to their interlude. They only thought that Nie Qingru had called someone from the Pharmacy Association for a greeting.

Robert returned to his seat, and Shadow was talking to her… In the eyes of others, this was normal. There was nothing worth paying attention to.

However, as Shadow spoke, Nie Qingru acutely felt a gaze on her back. It was like a sharp arrow was about to pierce through her heart. The whistling wind carried a sense of danger.
