” ‘Very well.’ Ye Wanan nodded, then handed the wooden box containing Si Yehan’s hair to the elder.
‘Check this and compare it with the last sample I brought back. Let me know if you have any results,’ Ye Wanan said.
Upon hearing this, the elder nodded and then turned to leave the area.
This time, Ye Wanan inexplicably felt a bit nervous. This should undoubtedly be the child she and Si Yehan had given birth to, right? There couldn’t be any mistake…
The paternity test would take several days, and Ye Wanan didn’t stay in the Fearless Alliance. She returned to the Scarlet Flame Academy.
…
After returning to the academy, Ye Wanan didn’t immediately hand over Si Yehan’s hair. She needed to first figure out who issued this task and what they wanted to do with Si Yehan’s hair.
If she just handed it over without knowing anything, what if it turned out to be harmful to Si Yehan?
However, the information about the issuer was kept highly confidential, belonging to the internal secrets of the Scarlet Flame Academy. It was very difficult to investigate the identity of the task issuer. Only the academy’s principal or high-ranking officials knew about the issuer, while students and instructors would not have such information.
Helpless, Ye Wanan could only go to Master Gong’s residence with a desperate attitude.
If Master Gong was unwilling to help her investigate, then she would have to give up on the task, and she wouldn’t hand over Si Yehan’s hair.
‘I heard you took on three tasks, two S-rank and one S+?’ Inside the main hall, Master Gong brewed a pot of tea.
After pouring a cup for Ye Wanan, Master Gong suddenly looked at her and spoke.
Hearing Master Gong’s words, Ye Wanan nodded and said, ‘Yes, Master…’
‘You are quite impressive. No one in the Scarlet Flame Academy has ever dared to take on three S-rank tasks at once, not to mention an S+ rank as well,’ Master Gong remarked.
Before Ye Wanan could respond, Master Gong continued, ‘You just took those tasks a few days ago, and you’re already back? How did it go?’
Master Gong seemed to care a lot about Ye Wanan’s task completion rate.
Hearing this, Ye Wanan’s expression became slightly embarrassed. What could she say? Her man, Si Yehan, took away the ring from Emperor Ji. As for the S+ rank escort mission, the goods were robbed by her man…
The only hair that could be used for the task was that of Si Yehan, and she had to consider his safety.
Upon careful thought, it was true that Si Yehan tormented her countless times, yet she still treated him like her first love. Wasn’t this the opposite?
‘Well, Master, the truth is, I have something to ask for your help with…’ Ye Wanan stared at Master Gong and hesitated to speak.
After all, what she wanted to ask was highly confidential information about the S-rank task issuer. This kind of information was treated as a top priority and guarded strictly in any mercenary academy.
Just imagine, if the information about the issuer was easily exposed, who would dare to approach the three major mercenary academies to issue tasks?
What if it was an assassination order against some important figure?
If a simple investigation could easily reveal the identity of the issuer, that would be disastrous!
Therefore, in the Independent State, whether it was the three major mercenary academies or some slightly smaller ones, they all treated the protection of the issuer’s information as their top principle.
Currently, Ye Wanan was about to ask Master Gong about such a sensitive matter, which was truly embarrassing to say out loud…”
