“Three elders looked at Ye Wanwan, their expressions slightly awkward, and said, ‘Leader, the thing is… What the term ‘Leader’ means is not important. What’s important is that the Leader is wise, skilled, and has a meticulous mind…’
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanwan sighed. It seemed that the fearless alliance’s flavor remained unchanged, even though she had joined the Death Rose. ‘How long until the main and branch factions go to war?’ she asked the Grand Elder beside her.
‘It’s probably just a few days away. In the past two days, the main and branch factions have been testing each other, and there have been several small-scale battles,’ the Grand Elder replied.
Ye Wanwan nodded slightly. The peaceful days in the Independent State were long gone. Actually, when you thought about it carefully, the Independent State had never really been peaceful.
‘Leader, what’s our plan?’ the Grand Elder asked.
The three elders exchanged glances, and one of them said, ‘Quit the nonsense. Shura Lord is from the branch faction, so we’ll definitely support the branch faction when the time comes. What else could the plan be?’
‘So, Leader’s idea is to support the branch faction in the name of the Death Rose,’ the Grand Elder said.
Ye Wanwan nodded in agreement. That was indeed her plan.
Before Ye Wanwan could take any action, the Nie Family suddenly announced their support for the branch faction in the conflict between the main and branch factions. Following their lead, the Ji Family also declared their support for the branch faction.
Among the four major families, only the Shen Family and the Ling Family remained silent.
The Shen Family’s stance was somewhat understandable. In the Independent State, the Shen Family primarily engaged in business and did not want to get involved in the war between the main and branch factions. Supporting one side would not only require a significant financial commitment but could also have a major impact on the Shen Family if their chosen side lost.
As for the Ling Family, Ye Wanwan had some insight. Initially, the Ling Family had intended to support the main faction, but now that the Nie Family’s head and matriarch had returned and announced their support for the branch faction, there were already tensions between the Ling Family and the Nie Family. It seemed that the Ling Family did not want to align themselves with the Nie Family.
However, over the next two days, both the Shen Family and the Ling Family finally announced their support for the branch faction.
Three days later…
“Feng Jie, representatives from the Martial Arts Alliance Guild have arrived… They say their president invites you to the headquarters for a meeting,” Bei Dou said to Ye Wanwan.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows slightly.
Initially, after Sika had become formidable on the island, he had remained hidden. She hadn’t expected that they would invite her to the Martial Arts Alliance Guild today.
“Feng Jie, you’re not seriously considering going, are you?” Bei Dou stared at Ye Wanwan and said, “The Martial Arts Alliance Guild inviting you at this time probably means no good!”
“Of course, I’m not going,” Ye Wanwan replied with a cold smile. “Tell their president that if he wants to see me, he should come personally.”
“Alright!” Bei Dou nodded and then left.
…
Half a day later, Bei Dou came to the office with a videotape.
“Feng Jie, this was sent by the Martial Arts Alliance Guild. They said there’s something of interest to you inside. Take a careful look,” Bei Dou placed the videotape on the desk.
Upon hearing Bei Dou’s words, Ye Wanwan was slightly surprised. A videotape sent by the Martial Arts Alliance Guild?
“Alright, I got it,” Ye Wanwan said after a moment.
