Here, Robert followed the shadow all the way to the first seat on the left side of the main table to meet the woman at the center of tonight's topic.
He greeted the other party very familiarly: "Long time no see, Your Majesty the Queen."
"Um."
Nie Qingru nodded slightly and seemed to have a gentler attitude toward him. She looked at him again and said, "Why isn't your teacher here?"
Robert didn't dare to underestimate her light question, so he braced himself and responded carefully: "Teacher, he asked me to come when he was doing experiments in seclusion."
He has used this excuse to others, and no one has ever doubted its authenticity.
"Oh?" Nie Qingru glanced at him without any trace after he finished speaking. His eyes were calm and without warmth, but full of oppression.
Robert's heart skipped a beat for a moment, and his intuition told him that the other party had seen through his lame lies, and might even know that Zhong Yiliu was in Independence Continent.
However, he quickly composed himself without revealing any flaws, and politely changed the subject: "You came to see me for something?"
Nie Qingru fiddled with the auction sign in his hand: "I just asked you to come over and ask about Mr. Zhong. Since your teacher is in retreat, you can convey your concern for me."
"OK."
Robert looked at his eyes and nose.
"I will convey the Queen's concern to the teacher."
Seeing that Nie Qingru seemed to have nothing to say to him, he raised his eyes and looked at the front where the lights were focused, and said very politely: "The dinner is about to begin. Queen, I will go back to my seat first and won't disturb you."
"Go." Nie Qingru raised her thin lips, her attitude softening considerably.
The lights in the banquet hall began to dim, which was a sign that the banquet was about to begin.
Robert was preparing to leave quietly.
Suddenly, a cold and sinister voice came from behind.
"Why didn't I know that the Pharmacy Association has a laboratory in Independence?"
Robert's heart was beating fast. He turned around in surprise and saw Nie Qingru's sharp face sitting in the dim light.
She looked over with a look that was both judgmental and scornful, and also partly mocking: "He believes in Qiao Nian so much that he doesn't hesitate to offend me for the sake of a little girl who doesn't have all her hair."
Robert's heart beat faster, because Nie Qingru's words were so exciting that his heartbeat was about to jump out of his throat. If he hadn't pinched his palm tightly, he might not have been able to control the expression on his face.
"Teacher is in the laboratory. As for what experiments to do, this is not my responsibility." Robert knew that his expression must be very strange at this moment without looking in the mirror, and he was definitely not calm and calm.
Nie Qingru paused for a second after hearing the words, and then lost interest after raking his sharp eyes across his face: "Well, go back to your seat."
Robert didn't stop for a second, walked quickly, and went to the back row to find his seat in the blink of an eye.
After he left, the shadow floated out like a ghost and leaned in Nie Qingru's ear: "Queen, do you want to find an opportunity to 'warn' the Pharmacy Association?"
It was close to seven o'clock in the evening, and the banquet was about to begin.
Not many people paid attention to their little episode. They just thought that Nie Qingru called someone from the Pharmacy Association to come over and say hello.
Now Robert returns to his place, and Shadow goes to talk to her... In the eyes of others, it is normal, nothing noteworthy.
But when Nie Qingru heard the voice of the shadow beside her ear, she was keenly aware of a gaze falling directly behind her, as if a sharp arrow coming from the wind was about to pierce her heart, and the howling wind carried a sense of danger.
