“What’s the matter?”
Palace Master Gong took a sip of tea and chuckled softly.
Ye Wanwan pondered for a while and remained silent for several tens of seconds before gritting her teeth and asking with a thick-skinned face, “Master, it’s actually nothing much. I’m just purely curious. I accepted an S-rank mission that requires obtaining a strand of Shura Lord’s hair. Master, can you believe how boring someone must be to want someone else’s hair and elevate such a task to S-rank…”
Hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Palace Master Gong glanced at her and solemnly said, “If it were an ordinary person’s hair, even a D-rank mission would be more than enough. But the Shura Lord… is he someone you can easily provoke? Just taking a strand of his hair might lead to a catastrophe for your entire clan.”
“Well… Master, do you know who issued the mission… Can you investigate it for me?” Ye Wanwan asked.
“Why are you asking about that?” Palace Master Gong’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Curiosity… purely out of curiosity!” Ye Wanwan quickly replied.
“Curiosity? Are you treating your master like a three-year-old child to deceive with such an excuse?” Palace Master Gong’s expression immediately turned dark, finding this excuse too clumsy.
Ye Wanwan pondered for a moment, her eyes slightly turning as she looked at Palace Master Gong with a face full of grievances, half-truthfully saying, “Master… actually, I already obtained the Shura Lord’s hair. But I don’t know who issued this mission or why they want the Shura Lord’s hair. Master, think about it, if the person who issued it gets hold of the Shura Lord’s hair and uses it against him, the whole Asura Realm will definitely go crazy hunting me down. I dare not submit the mission…”
“What? You obtained the Shura Lord’s hair?”
Palace Master Gong stared at Ye Wanwan, his expression full of surprise. In just a few days, she had completed an S-rank mission?
“Yes, that’s right,” Ye Wanwan nodded repeatedly. “But I dare not submit the mission. Master, you know the Asura Realm is full of demons and monsters. I’m scared.”
“Ah…” Palace Master Gong shook his head and sighed softly.
After a long silence, Palace Master Gong continued, “Wanwan, in fact, you don’t need to be afraid. This mission was issued by your Senior Sister Wu You back then.”
As Palace Master Gong’s words fell, Ye Wanwan looked baffled, finding it hard to believe.
Who issued it?
Senior Sister Wu You?!
In other words, the S-rank mission to obtain the Shura Lord’s hair was issued by herself before she lost her memories?!
This… is just too absurd. Why would she want the Shura Lord’s hair?
“Your Senior Sister Wu You fell in love with a man in the Independent State and later had a child with him. However, she didn’t know the man’s true identity. He claimed to be a small leader of Asura, but she suspected that he was actually the Shura Lord of Asura…” Palace Master Gong slowly recounted the events of the past.
Ye Wanwan: “…”
“So why didn’t Senior Sister Wu You just ask him directly?” Ye Wanwan quickly asked.
“Your Senior Sister Wu You has an extremely strong personality. After she found out she was pregnant, she never went to look for that man again and completely cut off contact with him. How could she, with her personality, possibly go to contact him again or ask him face-to-face?” Palace Master explained.
Ye Wanwan: “…”
If that’s the case, then it seems that even Si Ye Han doesn’t know that I am Nie Wuyou. So, haven’t I been concealing my identity too?”
