“According to normal logic, there should be no significant relationship with Yishuihan.
However…
Ye Wanwan couldn’t be sure, but the skills of the previous cloaked figure did indeed bear some resemblance to Yishuihan.
“However, it shouldn’t be a random enemy. After all, random enemies only have hostility towards the collateral branches of the ancient clan!” Beidou spoke after a moment of silence.
“Not necessarily,” Qixing shook his head. “Random enemies are the master of the young master. If it’s that kind of relationship, it could explain why the cloaked figure didn’t kill you.”
With Qixing’s words, silence fell among the people present.
On the surface, random enemies only held enmity towards the collateral branches of the ancient clan, but in the shadows, no one really knew what was going on.
Ye Wanwan sat in her office chair, lost in thought.
Indeed, Yishuihan’s primary goal should be the collateral branches of the ancient clan. However, after so many years, the collateral branches of the ancient clan have not been eliminated by Yishuihan. No matter how powerful Yishuihan is, he is just one person, while the collateral branches of the ancient clan have numerous experts and great influence. Relying solely on him, it would be unrealistic to wipe out the entire ancient clan.
But if Yishuihan knew the secret of the Death Rose and understood that his ring represented the supreme symbol of the Death Rose… Would Yishuihan want to obtain that ring and become the new leader of the Death Rose, using its power to annihilate all the ancient clans in the Independent State?
Of course, for now, Ye Wanwan’s analysis was just speculation. It couldn’t be concluded whether the cloaked figure and Yishuihan were connected or if they were the same person.
“Whoever it is, this matter should not be disclosed for now,” Ye Wanwan said after a long pause, looking at the people in the office.
“Fengjie, we definitely can’t let this information leak out. Our fearless alliance leader, hung by an unknown cloaked person – if this gets out, where can I put my face… I mean, where can the fearless alliance put its face? It would be too embarrassing!” Beidou looked at Ye Wanwan and spoke.
Ye Wanwan glanced at Beidou. He always had a way with words.
Preventing them from talking about it had nothing to do with embarrassment. If others knew that there was such a powerful expert in the main branch, it would inevitably shake morale. What would the forces that had already joined the collateral branches think?
Furthermore, if a strong member of the main branch came to the fearless alliance just to steal something, what exactly they were after, whether they succeeded or not, would lead to speculation. At this stage, it wouldn’t benefit the collateral branches in any way.
So, this matter absolutely could not be spread. Blocking the information was the best option.
“I understand the leader’s intention. Everyone present today should keep this information confidential and not let it out,” the elder said after giving Ye Wanwan a meaningful look.
“Haha, I have to say, the leader may be young, but her mind is meticulous. I admire her wholeheartedly!” The third elder immediately praised Ye Wanwan.
Hearing the third elder’s words, Ye Wanwan looked at him. “Elder, do you really understand what I mean?”
“Of course, I definitely know,” the third elder hurriedly said. “If the elder knows, how could I not know!”
Ye Wanwan asked, “Then… what do I mean?”
The third elder:…”
