During this period, the Independent State has been strangely calm, and there haven’t been any major issues with the Nie family and the Fearless Alliance.
Yew Wanwan has mobilized a large number of people from the Nie family and the Fearless Alliance to investigate the whereabouts of the Nie family’s matriarch and patriarch. As for the Asura faction, they are still on the island they discovered during their investigation.
The only noteworthy event is that since Nie Wuming’s absence, Death’s Ghost has quietly disappeared from Yew Wanwan’s sight at some point. Meanwhile, God Void Daoist, One Flower, and their foreign friends have been continuously searching for Death’s Ghost’s whereabouts.
Yew Wanwan harbors some doubts about Death’s Ghost’s departure, wondering what he might be up to. Could it be… he’s in seclusion, cultivating a kind of resurrection-eliciting parasite?
However, this thought quickly fades from Yew Wanwan’s mind as she doesn’t dwell on unrealistic possibilities.
“Ah Jiu… How is your investigation going on your end?” Yew Wanwan asks as she makes a morning call to Si Ye Han.
“Within three days, there will be news,” Si Ye Han’s voice replies.
After chatting briefly with Si Ye Han, Yew Wanwan hangs up the phone.
Si Ye Han has been investigating the island daily, and his time at the Asura headquarters is limited. Thus, Yew Wanwan has brought him back to the Nie family whenever he has some free time, making his visits to the Nie family quite frequent.
At this stage, the relationship between the Asura Faction and the Nie family is well-known in the Independent State, and Si Ye Han’s visits to the Nie family have become a common occurrence.
Just as Yew Wanwan hangs up the phone, a slow knocking on the door is heard.
“No need to lock the door, come in,” Yew Wanwan says, but she looks puzzled. Who would come to her study at this early hour?
As Yew Wanwan finishes speaking, the study door is pushed open.
“It’s you?!”
Seeing the person who entered, Yew Wanwan’s eyebrows instantly furrow.
The newcomer is not unfamiliar to Yew Wanwan; he is the vice president of the Martial Arts Union Guild.
“Heh… Miss Wuyou, there are some things I’d like to discuss with you,” the vice president of the Martial Arts Union Guild says, smiling softly and fixing his gaze on Yew Wanwan.
“How did you enter the Nie family?” Yew Wanwan’s expression turns cold.
“The Nie family… naturally, I just entered. Back then, I could take away both Tianxiao and Jihuang. The Nie family… is naturally not difficult,” the vice president chuckles.
“The Martial Arts Union Guild…” Yew Wanwan’s eyes narrow slightly.
This implies that it was the Martial Arts Union Guild that captured the leaders Tianxiao and Jihuang.
While Yew Wanwan had suspicions about the Martial Arts Union Guild before, they were only suspicions. Her main suspicion was on the legitimate line of the family. However, she didn’t expect that these matters would turn out to be the work of the Martial Arts Union Guild.
“So, Miss Wuyou, do you want to come with me willingly, or… should I take you?” The vice president of the guild sneers.
“Just you?” Yew Wanwan stands up slowly, her gaze fixed on him. “You were able to take away Jixiu and Haitang, you are indeed strong… but if you think you can take me away so easily, I’m afraid it won’t be that simple.”
“Hehe, you won’t know until you try, right?” The vice president says, taking a confident step towards Yew Wanwan.
“Seeking death!” Yew Wanwan’s eyes flash with cold light as she instantly strikes out with her palm.
In an instant, Yew Wanwan and the vice president face each other, and there is a muffled sound from the study.
In the moment of their confrontation, Yew Wanwan has already estimated something.
This vice president of the Martial Arts Union Guild is indeed formidable, but… wanting to take her away from the Nie family is simply a pipe dream.
