After carefully examining Ye Wanwan's disheveled appearance, the man's eyes glinted as realization dawned on him. He quietly said, "You … aren't a resident of the Independent State, right?"
"Who said I'm not a resident of the Independent State?" Ye Wanwan immediately retorted. "I've been in the Independent State since I was in my mother's womb …"
"Then … Do you have a pass … Which district are you from?" the man asked with a smile.
Ye Wanwan couldn't be bothered to tangle with him. It wouldn't be fun if the Martial Arts Union caught up to them.
The man instantly blocked Ye Wanwan's path and shook his head. "No outsider has ever escaped from the hands of the Martial Arts Union's investigation team … Come with me."
Without giving Ye Wanwan a chance to mull over it, the man led her forward.
The man was very familiar with the area. After making several turns, he entered a manor, completely escaping from the Martial Alliance's investigation team.
"May I ask … how should I address you?" the man asked Ye Wanwan.
"Ye Wanwan … Thank you for your help …" Ye Wanwan didn't know the Independent State's rules and customs, so she pretentiously cupped her fists.
Seeing this, the man chuckled. "Miss Ye, you're welcome … My name is Zhou Wu."
After a brief conversation with Zhou Wu, Ye Wanwan learned that Zhou Wu was the heir of a martial-arts patrician family, and this place was the Zhou family.
Ye Wan Wan knew in her heart that Zhou Wu had no ill intentions towards her. If it wasn't for Zhou Wu, the consequences would have been unimaginable. With the speed of the Martial Alliance's investigation team, it was almost impossible for her to escape.
"Miss Ye, I don't know whether you came to the Independent State for sightseeing or some other reason, but … Miss Ye, it's best for you to plan ahead of time. The Independent State is very averse to outsiders, and many outsiders have died in the Independent State," Zhou Wu said to Ye Wanwan.
"Then … you don't reject outsiders?" Ye Wanwan was curious.
Zhou Wu shook his head. "You must be joking, Miss Ye. When my grandfather was young, he was also an outsider. However, the rules of the Independent State were relatively lax at that time, so after a lot of hard work, my grandfather finally founded the Zhou family in the Independent State … Our Zhou family doesn't reject outsiders since we share the same roots."
"I see …" Ye Wanwan nodded. No wonder Zhou Wu was willing to help her.
"Miss Ye doesn't have a permit, so it's very difficult for you to move around the Independent State. If Miss Ye doesn't mind, please stay here for a few days."
Ye Wanwan didn't refuse. She had just arrived in the Independent State and was unfamiliar with the place and people, so there were many things she didn't understand. Moreover, she lost all of her belongings, so she probably wouldn't even have a place to stay at night.
"That's not too appropriate, right …?" Ye Wanwan said.
"You don't have to be so polite, Miss Ye. As a reward for staying here, Miss Ye can tell us about the outside world, such as China … The people of the Independent State are truly too far from our homeland, China. Aside from the top four great clans of the Independent State, almost no one would pay a huge price to return to China," Zhou Wu said with a chuckle.
Ye Wanwan: "…" My brother is awesome! They don't even know what China is like …
Soon, Ye Wanwan followed Zhou Wu into the hall.
Not long after, the Zhou Family's Patriarch and Madam received the news and came to the hall.
Patriarch and Madam were very polite toward Ye Wanwan and kept inquiring about China.
Patriarch Zhou was born in the Independent State and had never left, so he was very curious about his hometown, China.
Ye Wanwan wasn't stingy and told them everything she saw and heard.
"China has TV … TV means … there are characters inside …" Ye Wanwan said to the patriarch and the others as she ate the food Zhou Wu prepared.
Patriarch Zhou looked at Ye Wanwan, dumbfounded. "Our Independent State … also has TV …"
"Oh … right, China has cars. The kind that people sit in …"
Patriarch Zhou continued to be dumbfounded. "The Independent State … also has cars … big cars, small cars, sports cars, racing karts …"
Their Independent State … wasn't an isolated and backward world, alright …?
