Not long after, Ye Wanwan placed the videotape into the device; she wanted to see what exactly Si Xia was up to.
…
As she watched the content on the TV, Ye Wanwan pondered. This videotape was actually a copy of surveillance footage, but the picture quality was still quite clear.
“It’s me…”
Ye Wanwan’s gaze fell on the screen, and her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
The girl appearing on the television was none other than Nie Wuyou from years ago.
In just a few breaths, a frail-looking old man appeared.
“Grandfather?!”
Seeing the old man, Ye Wanwan was astonished. Why would there be footage of herself and her grandfather on this videotape?
Judging by the surveillance location, it seemed to be within the Martial Arts Alliance. If she had to guess the timing, it was from several years ago.
Before Ye Wanwan could gather her thoughts, the girl and the old man in the video suddenly erupted into a fierce argument, culminating in the girl thrusting a dagger through the old man’s chest.
At this moment, as she watched the video’s content, Ye Wanwan stood frozen in place, finding it hard to believe.
She… had used a dagger to pierce her grandfather’s chest…
Almost instantly, Ye Wanwan knelt down, and a flood of familiar yet unfamiliar memories rushed into her mind.
…
Martial Arts Alliance Guild
The girl looked at the calculating old man and couldn’t help but pout, “Grandfather, when are you going to let me help? My martial skills are utterly useless, don’t you feel like you’re wasting my talents?”
The old man glanced at the girl and said, “If my information is correct, you’re the one who established that Fearless League, right?”
As the old man’s words fell, the girl’s expression slightly changed. “No… Grandfather, how could it be me who established it?”
“Hmph, can my information be wrong?” The old man appeared displeased.
“That damn Si Xia… he’s in charge of the information system, and he betrayed me…” The girl gritted her teeth.
“It has nothing to do with Si Xia. Tell me, why did you create this so-called Fearless League and recruit a bunch of useless old men as elders? What were you thinking?” The old man stared at the girl, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Seeing this, the girl grabbed the old man’s arm and said, “Oh, Grandfather, I was just bored. Besides, the people I recruited may be unskilled and lazy, but at least they have some real abilities. And, Grandfather, when I establish a force, it’s also for your sake.”
“For me?” The old man glanced at the girl. “Then tell me, how is it for my sake?”
“Grandfather, you see, when my power grows, if you ever encounter trouble or difficulties, I can help you. Moreover, Grandfather, didn’t you teach me that true strength isn’t just about personal strength? It’s about gathering strong individuals around you and uniting them like a rope. That’s true strength, and I’m doing all of this based on what you taught me.” The girl smiled.
The old man looked at the girl with some helplessness. “Your ability to talk… there might not be another one like you in the entire Independent State, turning death into life, and having skin thicker than the Independent State itself.”
“Grandfather, my thick skin didn’t develop overnight; you’re just finding out now.” The girl chuckled.
The old man shook his head and chose not to continue engaging with the girl.
…
Scene changes abruptly
In a certain command room, the old man sat in the center, and Si Xia sat in the deputy’s position.
“Wuyou, I have something to entrust to you.”
After a long while, the old man looked at the girl and spoke.
