Chapter 3499: Scum Looking For Sister Nian's Death "This unfilial daughter! Evil creature, does she want to sever ties with me?!" Father Xie looked at her with a dark expression and said without a trace of emotion, "Sister also said that if the Xie family doesn't want to fight with her to the point of not having any contact with her anymore, don't participate in the treasure hunting competition at Mingshui Mansion this time. Otherwise, we don't have to look for her in the future." "She threatened me?" Old Madam Xie widened her eyes in disbelief. Silence. Father Xie didn't answer. Silence was the best answer. Old Madam Xie was so angry that she clutched her chest, looking like she was about to faint. Her vision darkened and she almost passed out. Father Xie didn't want to agitate her, but he still had some things to tell her. "Sister is serious this time. If we participate in the event, I'm afraid that in the future..." "Whatever! I've never seen anyone disobey and threaten their biological mother! If she wants to sever ties, so be it. I don't believe she can change the fact that I was the one who gave birth to her after nine months of pregnancy!" Old Madam Xie looked fierce on the outside but was timid on the inside. Father Xie rubbed his eyebrows. Not wanting to argue with her, he said, "The person representing the Ji family this time is Qiao Nian." Silence. Old Madam Xie's neck seemed to have been grabbed by an invisible hand, and she immediately fell silent. How could it be... her?! She wasn't afraid of Xie Yun, but she was afraid of Qiao Nian. Qiao Nian had rebellious blood flowing in her bones. It was said that she had even personally killed Nie Qixing, who was related to her by blood... She didn't dare to provoke such a god of death. Moreover, she knew that Qiao Nian was behind the harbor incident a few days ago. "Mom, the Xie family has relied on our in-laws to get to where we are now. You know very well our current ability. Even if we risk falling out with Yun'er to participate in this event, we won't be able to get first place. There's no need to offend Yun'er..." Old Madam Xie was flustered and sat back down. No longer as domineering as before, she waved her hand and said, "I'll think about it again. I'll think about it again." Father Xie didn't force her. "Then take your time to think about it." He gave his wife a look and asked her to follow him up. They went upstairs together. Mother Xie was still thinking about her daughter. "Xinyao, she..." Father Xie placed his hand on her shoulder and said in all seriousness, "Xinyao's matter was Mom's idealization. As long as Nan Tianyi doesn't relent, Xinyao won't be able to return. As for this event... I received a piece of news." Mother Xie's eyebrows twitched and she looked up. "What news?" Father Xie's face was tense. He exhaled before daring to say, "Someone wants Qiao Nian's life at this event! I heard that she had all the data of the Tsar when it was unveiled in Continent M. Someone has already targeted her and is taking this opportunity to get the Tsar's design. If she participates this time... she'll probably die!" Mother Xie had yet to figure out what the Tsar was. Father Xie had no intention of explaining too much to her. "You just need to know that having the Tsar is equivalent to being able to compete with the Ji family's black gunpowder." Who wouldn't want a weapon of this level? The thought had also crossed his mind. However, firstly, the Xie family didn't have the strength to compete with other forces. Secondly, even if the Xie family could obtain the Tsar's data, they couldn't keep it. Therefore, he had already made up his mind. No matter the Old Madam's attitude, he would never let the Xie family participate in the treasure hunt. This was not for anyone, but purely for the sake of benefits. "Qiao Nian... I'm afraid she won't live for more than a few days."
