“In caution, Ye Wanwan spent several days. However, during these few days, the Martial Arts Alliance Guild showed no abnormality at all. Contrary to Ye Wanwan’s expectations, there were no large forces mobilized to come and annihilate the Fearless Alliance. It was as if nothing had happened.
For Ye Wanwan, the Martial Arts Alliance Guild’s lack of reaction was the biggest abnormality. They had killed Elder Jin and then let the Fearless Alliance be, which was completely illogical!
…
Ye Wanwan couldn’t completely figure out the Martial Arts Guild’s way of doing things, but regardless, the fact that they didn’t come looking for trouble with the Fearless Alliance this time was the best outcome.
Ye Wanwan didn’t completely let her guard down and strengthened the Fearless Alliance’s defenses. She left a large number of undercover agents near the Martial Arts Alliance Guild. If they were to make a move against the Fearless Alliance, she would know immediately.
On that day, Ye Wanwan had someone inform Ji Xiudye and invite him to dinner.
Naturally, the invitation to dinner with Ji Xiudye had no ulterior motive. However, Ye Wanwan believed that Ji Xiudye must know the truth about her being Nie Wuyou, so she wanted to ask him directly and at least get some clarity.
During the dinner with Ji Xiudye, Ye Wanwan was extremely cautious. If Si Yehan found out… it wouldn’t be easy to explain.
That night, in a luxurious private room of a certain restaurant.
Bei Dou and Qi Xing waited outside the private room, leaving only Ji Xiudye and Ye Wanwan inside.
A gentle smile graced Ji Xiudye’s face as he looked out the window. After a long while, he turned his gaze to Ye Wanwan and said, “I heard you plucked a hair from Lord Shura and completed the S+ mission from the Crimson Flame.”
Ye Wanwan: “…Why do I feel like I’m being interrogated?”
She knew that Old Gong must have been bragging everywhere, and Ji Xiudye was undoubtedly one of his audiences.
“Well, it’s just luck…” Ye Wanwan replied.
“Luck, huh.” Ji Xiudye stared at Ye Wanwan and continued, “That hair, I suppose Lord Shura plucked it for you, and the goods were probably given to you by Lord Shura as well.”
Ye Wanwan was getting a headache from the questions, but Ji Xiudye didn’t seem to be delving deep into it. He lightly smiled and said, “Let’s put that aside for now. Tell me, why did you invite me tonight?”
Finally getting back on track…
“Actually, you know that Nie Wuyou from the Nie family is a fake, right?” Ye Wanwan stared at Ji Xiudye and slowly spoke.
“Oh?”
Hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Ji Xiudye became interested and kept scrutinizing her.
“Can you tell me what you know?” Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows.
“For example?” Ji Xiudye chuckled.
“My identity,” Ye Wanwan got straight to the point.
With Ye Wanwan’s words, Ji Xiudye fell silent for a moment.
“Now, should I call you Xiao Feng or Wuyou?” Ji Xiudye said with a meaningful tone.
“You really know that I’m Nie Wuyou…” Ye Wanwan took a deep breath.
“Women change a lot. Indeed, your personality, appearance, and figure are all different from the original Wuyou. Even I almost didn’t recognize you,” Ji Xiudye said, looking at Ye Wanwan. “But it seems your memory hasn’t fully returned yet.”
“If you already knew my identity, why didn’t you say so?” Ye Wanwan couldn’t understand.
“Your memories were overwritten. If I had told you, would you have believed it… That’s one reason. The other reason is, do you want me to tell you, or do you want to remember it yourself?” Ji Xiudye explained.
“So you sent me to Crimson Flame Academy because you knew what the academy head is capable of. Your intention wasn’t just to send me for training; you wanted me to recover my memories…” Ye Wanwan pondered and said.
At this moment, Ji Xiudye’s lips curled up slightly. “You weren’t as smart back then.” Although Ji Xiudye was teasing her, Ye Wanwan didn’t mind. Looking back, she realized that without Ji Xiudye’s help in Independent State, it would have been difficult for her to handle everything. Indeed, now that she thought about it, Ji Xiudye had done too much for her in Independent State.
