After Ye Wanwan finished speaking, Haitang’s expression changed slightly, and she asked, “Why?”
Hearing this, Ye Wanwan remained silent for a while.
“Haitang, you don’t need to know too much about this matter. Just do as I say; I need to verify something,” Ye Wanwan replied.
“Alright, I understand,” Haitang agreed. “I’ll go back and prepare first.”
“Thank you,” Ye Wanwan nodded slightly.
As Haitang left, from behind Ye Wanwan, a soft voice sounded, “Xiaofeng, it’s been a long time.”
For Ye Wanwan, this voice was both unfamiliar and incredibly familiar.
Almost instinctively, Ye Wanwan turned to look.
The man had a faint smile on his face, and his narrow eyes were fixed on Ye Wanwan.
The man before her seemed to exude an air of a scholar.
“Ziran Ge?!”
Seeing the man, Ye Wanwan was briefly stunned but quickly regained her composure.
This man, Ye Wanwan wouldn’t be unfamiliar with him—her sworn older brother, Wen Ziran.
“It’s really you,” Wen Ziran lightly chuckled, walking towards Ye Wanwan.
Soon, Wen Ziran arrived by Ye Wanwan’s side. “It’s been so many years. Your voice hasn’t changed, but I wonder if your appearance has.”
“No, it’s pretty much the same,” Ye Wanwan smiled.
In Ye Wanwan’s memory, Wen Ziran had been blind since birth, unable to see anything.
“Ziran Ge, when were you captured?” Ye Wanwan looked at Wen Ziran, furrowing her brow.
Although the elder of the Unrivaled Alliance had speculated earlier, Ye Wanwan hadn’t expected to really see Wen Ziran here.
“Not too long ago… but that’s not important. What about you? Where have you been all these years, leaving the Unrivaled Alliance without a word?” Wen Ziran asked.
To this, Ye Wanwan didn’t offer a detailed explanation.
Ye Wanwan had known Wen Ziran for over a decade, and she understood him very well. With Wen Ziran’s strength, if it weren’t for his blindness, he would never have ended up in a place like this.
Upon learning of Ye Wanwan’s plan, Wen Ziran was slightly surprised. It seemed that they wouldn’t be on this island for much longer.
“Actually, I don’t think the Martial Arts Alliance Guild has any ill intentions towards the people they’ve brought to this island,” Wen Ziran whispered to Ye Wanwan after a while.
Hearing this, Ye Wanwan furrowed her brow slightly. Wen Ziran’s thoughts were somewhat similar to Ji Xiuran’s.
“Most of the people imprisoned on this island are those who openly rejected the mainline’s invitation. I don’t think it’s just a coincidence… Besides, the Martial Arts Alliance Guild doesn’t seem to arbitrarily bring us here,” Wen Ziran explained.
Ye Wanwan didn’t refute it, but she didn’t agree either.
The Martial Arts Alliance Guild’s purpose was still unclear. But one thing was certain—bringing everyone to this island, restricting their freedom indefinitely, was not a friendly act.
“I have to ask, are you not eager to leave?” Ye Wanwan glanced at Wen Ziran.
Hearing this, Wen Ziran shook his head and smiled, “Of course not. Who wants to be imprisoned on this island? Getting out is definitely the best outcome.”
“I’m curious, with your strength, how did you end up here?” Ye Wanwan stared at Wen Ziran.
“Well, it’s not exactly that I was captured,” Wen Ziran shook his head. “I accepted a mission to investigate this island. Before I even set foot on the island, I encountered the Martial Arts Alliance Guild guarding the area around the island. I was deceived into coming here.”
Ye Wanwan nodded in understanding.
