“Humph, Si Xia, you’re really getting more deceitful as time goes on. If you want to fake something, at least spend some more resources on it. With this, I could make hundreds of them in minutes, each one unique,” Ye Wanwan sneered.
Without giving Si Xia a chance to speak, Ye Wanwan pulled Si Ye Han, who was beside her, and said softly, “Baby, take a look at this video. Tell my brother it’s fake, or he’ll think I’m deceiving him.”
Si Ye Han’s gaze fell on the mobile video when he heard her.
“Play it again,” Si Ye Han said calmly.
“Sure,” Ye Wanwan nodded and replayed the video. “What do you think, is it fake?”
“Yeah, it’s fake,” Si Ye Han replied.
“It’s definitely fake; even Seventh Brother could make this kind of video,” Bei Dou commented as he looked at it. “But… this girl looks really ethereal, her facial features, and her figure… she truly looks like a sleeping beauty.”
“Well, in that case, there’s no need to bet,” Si Xia said.
“What are you betting on? If you’re really capable, bring her here. Let us see her in person or visit a hospital. If it’s real, I’ll apologize on my knees,” Ye Wanwan said.
“Yeah, what No Worries said,” Nie Wu Ming agreed.
“No need to see her in person,” Si Xia said with a slight smile.
Suddenly, the mobile screen flashed, and someone sent a video call. Ye Wanwan answered it immediately.
In an instant, the vice president of the Martial Arts Alliance Guild appeared on the video, still in the same hospital room.
“Vice president, let them see Ling Miao,” Si Xia shouted.
Immediately, the vice president turned the camera towards the girl on the hospital bed.
“Ling Miao…”
At this moment, Nie Wu Ming trembled slightly.
“Baby, this… it must be fake too, videos can be manipulated,” Ye Wanwan looked at Si Ye Han and said softly.
After a moment of silence, Si Ye Han nodded, “Yeah.”
“You want me to bring Ling Miao here. Do you think it’s possible?” Si Xia stared at Ye Wanwan and said coldly, “I’m not a child.”
Ye Wanwan seemed like she wanted to say more, but in the end, she couldn’t. It was impossible to continue with this lie in good conscience.
Originally, she wanted to trick Si Xia into bringing Ling Miao here, but given the current situation, it seemed challenging to outsmart him. If his intelligence was anything like Bei Dou’s, it would be much simpler…
“What really happened back then? Why is Ling Miao still alive?” Without waiting for Nie Wu Ming to speak, Ye Wanwan asked first.
“Actually, it’s quite simple,” Si Xia said, “The Arbitration Council pressured Grandfather to get rid of Ling Miao. Grandfather used Nie Wu Ming’s life to threaten Ling Miao, forcing her to go alone and contact almost all the major forces in the Independent State to launch a devastating attack on her. In the end, everyone thought Ling Miao was dead, but Grandfather, being softhearted, saved her.”
At this point, Nie Wu Ming’s expression changed slightly.
“However, it’s a pity that Ling Miao was seriously injured. Even though she survived, she’s currently lying in a hospital bed and hasn’t awakened yet,” Si Xia explained.
“Take me to see her,” Nie Wu Ming looked at Si Xia.
“Don’t rush. I promised that as long as you’re willing to assist me, I’ll let you meet her. Her current condition is stable,” Si Xia said.
“Okay, I promise,” Nie Wu Ming didn’t hesitate either.
