Mentioning Helian Jue, the corner of Ye Wanwan’s mouth twitched slightly.
Back then, she didn’t even know how she had provoked Helian Jue. He insisted on accepting her as a direct disciple, but she had never agreed. After all, she already had a grandfather, and it was impossible for her to recognize anyone else as her master.
“Helian Jue, who doesn’t know him… He’s just an old monster, loves to challenge anyone, regardless of which power they belong to. As long as there’s a strong individual, he’ll stir up trouble and challenge them. The most infuriating part is that after defeating someone, he still calls them trash… What’s even more infuriating is that no one has ever beaten him. Of course, no one can out-insult him either. In the Independent Twelve States, Helian Jue is practically everyone’s enemy…” Beidou said.
Ye Wanwan: “…”
Ye Wanwan wholeheartedly agreed with what Beidou was saying. Back in the day, she had never provoked Helian Jue, yet he had beaten her and called her trash.
At that time, Ye Wanwan had wanted nothing more than to skin Helian Jue alive, but she wasn’t his match, the gap in strength was too vast.
Later on, Helian Jue had mentioned that she had good potential and pestered her to be his disciple.
“A few years ago, before Yilin Jun became the head of this Arbitration Association, they approached him, hoping he could deal with Helian Jue. Afterward, it’s said that the two of them fought for three days and three nights without a clear winner… Being able to fight Helian Jue to a draw shows the strength of the head of the Yi family,” the Third Elder added.
Ye Wanwan was well aware of Helian Jue’s strength. Even when she had fought with him like a stray dog, she hadn’t been beaten that badly…
“Moreover, in the entire Independent Twelve States, no one has ever seen Helian Jue’s true appearance. Every time he appears, he wears a terrifying mask. It’s still a big mystery in the Independent States, what Helian Jue actually looks like,” Beidou said.
Ye Wanwan nodded in agreement. Even she, let alone others, had never seen Helian Jue’s real face. Every time they met, he wore that intimidating mask.
However, despite being an old monster, Ye Wanwan still admired him. Although they didn’t have a formal master-disciple relationship, Helian Jue had taught her a lot.
“Do you think there’s any connection between Yishui Han and the Yi family?” Ye Wanwan pondered.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder smiled slightly, “There’s no connection whatsoever. Yishui Han’s ‘Yi’ is just a branch of our state’s main lineage, while Yilin Jun’s ‘Yi’ is from the true noble Yi family. They are entirely different and not on the same level.”
“Third Elder, Grand Elder,” Ye Wanwan said with a serious expression.
Immediately, the two elders stepped forward.
“Both of you, first investigate the Yin family for me,” Ye Wanwan said.
“The Yin family…” The Third Elder hesitated, “Guild Leader, which Yin family are you referring to?”
“Yin Yuerong,” Ye Wanwan replied.
As Ye Wanwan’s words fell, the expressions of both the Grand Elder and the Third Elder changed simultaneously.
“Guild Leader, I believe that one person can handle such a matter,” the Grand Elder looked at Ye Wanwan, “The Third Elder is skilled and has great courage. Therefore, I think the Third Elder alone is sufficient for this task.”
Before Ye Wanwan could speak, the Third Elder hurriedly said, “No, no, Guild Leader. Among us, the Grand Elder is the strongest in terms of power, and he is also the Grand Elder. I believe that this important task should fall to the Grand Elder.”
Ye Wanwan looked utterly confused. Wasn’t it just about investigating the Yin family’s situation? These two people were pushing and shoving like this…
