After listening to Zhou Wu and Patriarch Zhou's explanation, Ye Wanwan finally understood the concept of the Independent State's Yun City.
"The four great clans …" Ye Wanwan murmured.
"Heh, the four great clans of the Independent State are all hegemon-level clans. Patriarch Nie runs the mercenary business, the Ji family focuses on underground power, the Shen family might be mediocre in martial arts, but they're the wealthiest family in the Independent State and are wealthy enough to rival a country. As for the Ling family, they're a bit more mediocre and aren't particularly outstanding," Zhou Wu said with a smile.
"Oh right … is there a person named Nameless Nie in the Nie family?" Ye Wanwan probed.
"Nameless Nie?" Zhou Wu shook his head. "Our Zhou family rarely goes to Yun City, so it's very difficult for the outside world to understand the members of the four great clans. Moreover, there are too many people in the Nie family. From the direct line to the collateral branches and branches, who knows how many people there are in the Nie family …? We don't even know the name of the patriarch of the Nie family."
The Zhou family was only a minor martial-arts patrician family in the Independent State. A clan on the level of the Nie family was a colossus to the Zhou family and was far beyond their reach.
"Yiya …"
As they spoke, an adorable little boy in pajamas ran into the living room and hugged Zhou Wu's calf.
"Your son?" Ye Wanwan asked with a light chuckle.
Zhou Wu frantically shook his head. "He's not my son. His parents were tourists who came to the Independent State three years ago and died here. I didn't think too much about it at the time and adopted him."
Ye Wanwan was startled. It had to be said that Zhou Wu was a nice person indeed. It wasn't just Zhou Wu; the entire Zhou family was very friendly.
"What's your name?" Ye Wanwan asked the little boy with a smile.
At this moment, the little boy's eyes were wide open as he stared at Ye Wanwan. Suddenly, the little boy opened his arms towards Ye Wanwan like he was asking for a hug.
Ye Wanwan couldn't help but think of Tangtang when she saw the little boy in front of her, and a sense of closeness welled up in her heart.
Ye Wanwan immediately hugged the little boy in her arms.
"Miss Ye, his name is Qiuqiu. I think he suffered some trauma because his parents died tragically in the Independent State back then and can't speak anymore …"
Hearing that, Ye Wanwan stared at the little boy in her arms and fell into silence.
Seeing his father and mother die in front of him at such a young age would definitely be a great shock to him …
It was hard to imagine how this child felt at that time.
Ye Wanwan patted the little fella's head lightly. The little baby, Qiuqiu, hugged Ye Wanwan tightly, unwilling to let go no matter what.
"Ms. Ye, it seems like Qiuqiu really likes you. This child is actually very afraid of strangers," Zhou Wu said with a smile.
Ye Wanwan smiled when she heard that. She seemed to be quite popular with children.
After chatting with the Zhou family for a long time, Ye Wanwan felt a bit tired. Madam Zhou personally cleaned up a guest room for Ye Wanwan and had her enter the room to rest.
However, Qiuqiu also wanted to go with Ye Wanwan, so Ye Wanwan had no choice but to take Qiuqiu with her.
Late at night, Ye Wanwan fell into a deep sleep as she hugged the little fella in her arms, spending her first night in the Independent State …
…
Time flew by, and Ye Wanwan had stayed at the Zhou residence for four days.
