“It is indeed the Arbitration Council,” Seven Stars whispered to Ye Wanyan.
In fact, there was no need to distinguish the authenticity of such work identification because in the Independent Twelve States, no one dared to impersonate members of the Arbitration Council, let alone in their stronghold, Tian Shui City.
“Since Chairman Yi wishes to see me, I cannot refuse. However, I am not acquainted with Chairman Yi. May I ask… why does Chairman Yi want to meet me?” Ye Wanyan inquired curiously.
“Miss Nie, we are not privy to the Chairman’s intentions. If you have questions, you will have to ask Chairman Yi directly. We are not at liberty to disclose such information,” the young man replied.
Ye Wanyan couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. That Yi Lingjun really had quite the airs!
But upon further reflection…
He was the Chairman of the Arbitration Council, the highest authority in the Independent Twelve States!
She couldn’t afford to be defiant. Even as the leader of the Fearless Alliance, if the Chairman of the Arbitration Council wished to meet someone, it was likely a matter of mere words.
“Very well.”
In the end, Ye Wanyan could only nod in agreement. Refusal was not an option, especially when she considered reporting on her legitimate lineage!
“Please hold, everyone.”
The young woman stopped Beidou and Seven Stars, among others, with an expressionless face. She said, “I apologize, but Chairman Yi wishes to see Miss Nie alone. Therefore, your presence is not required.”
Beidou, now sporting a look of indignation, exclaimed, “My temper is explosive! What’s wrong with you people? So what if your Chairman is impressive? Is he extraordinary?!”
However, when he noticed the woman’s increasingly displeased expression, Beidou suddenly smiled. “That’s right, the Chairman of the Arbitration Council is indeed impressive! He’s amazing! Please convey my greetings to Chairman Yi. I love him, I respect him, he’s my idol…”
Ye Wanyan: “…”
What kind of sin had she committed to bring Beidou along?!
…
A while later, Ye Wanyan got into the car and they headed towards Tian Shui City.
Halfway there, she remarked, “This direction doesn’t seem like it’s leading to the Arbitration Council headquarters.”
The man driving the car smiled faintly, “Miss Nie, no need to be nervous. We are indeed not going to the Arbitration Council. Currently, Chairman Yi is giving a lecture, and we are heading to the venue where he’s speaking.”
Although Ye Wanyan didn’t continue speaking, she remained in a state of alertness and vigilance. If there was anything amiss with the two people, she would take immediate action.
However, it turned out she had overthought things.
Not long after, the car stopped at a lecture hall.
Ye Wanyan followed the two individuals into the lecture hall.
There, she saw a man with delicate features, long black hair cascading down, his expression solemn and serious, giving a series of lectures.
“Huh…”
Upon seeing the man, Ye Wanyan’s expression changed instantly, filled with surprise.
This man, wasn’t he the silver-haired man she had encountered back in Hua Country?!
Back then, Ye Wanyan had speculated that the silver-haired man was most likely He Lianjue because she hadn’t seen He Lianjue’s face before. Every time they met, He Lianjue wore a mask. Moreover, during their time in Hua Country, the silver-haired man had appeared, they had recognized each other, and his QQ signature clearly stated that Nie Wuyou was his disciple.
So, Ye Wanyan had guessed that the silver-haired man was likely He Lianjue…
However, upon closer inspection, the man in the lecture hall, although bearing an uncanny resemblance to the silver-haired man in Hua Country, had an entirely different aura. This aura was something that came from the very depths of his being and couldn’t possibly be faked…
And He Lianjue was undoubtedly an old fox. He couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as this man.
