"Knight-errant Yi, when did you find out about my identity?" Ye Wanwan was curious.
However, Yi Shuihan ignored Ye Wanwan's confusion and aloofly replied, "I really don't have any interest in knowing your identity. Who you are isn't important to me."
Ye Wanwan: "…"
He was truly worthy of being the strongest man in the history of the Independent State. His words were so coquettish and too freaking arrogant! She couldn't refute him at all. However, couldn't he save some face for her in front of her precious son? Did Yi Shuihan know there was a way of speaking that both of them crossed the line called mutual flattery?
"Knight-errant Yi, do you know those people just now?" Ye Wanwan looked at Yi Shuihan curiously.
That group of people seemed to be infatuated with her ring and wouldn't give up until they got it, but she didn't know anything about those people.
Ye Wanwan wasn't afraid of being robbed, but it would be terrifying if she didn't know anything about other people.
"People from the Direct Line," Yi Shuihan answered.
"Direct Line?" Ye Wanwan was dumbfounded.
She knew what the Direct Line meant, but … what did people from the Direct Line mean? The Direct Line was a faction?
"This can be traced back to the Independent State's origins," Yi Shuihan explained without any hesitation. "The people who founded the Independent State are their descendants."
"What do you mean?" Ye Wanwan was even more dumbfounded. What did this have to do with the people who founded the Independent State?
"Right now, the ancient clans in the Independent State are considered the Collateral Branch, and those people earlier belong to the Direct Line," Yi Shuihan explained.
"Hold on, Knight-errant Yi … You're saying that the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch are both descendants of the people who founded the Independent State, but the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch had a conflict and split up?" Ye Wanwan asked with a frown.
"That's right." Yi Shuihan nodded. "More accurately speaking, it was the Collateral Branch who chased the Direct Line out of the Independent State, and the Direct Line also planned to eliminate the Collateral Branch and regain power."
Ye Wanwan: "…" This is too freaking melodramatic, right?! So there's a play like this?
"Logically speaking," said Yi Shuihan, "the position of the direct bloodline is higher than that of the collateral bloodlines. But now, everyone in the Independent Prefecture is from the collateral bloodlines. The collateral bloodlines have driven the direct bloodline out of the Independent Prefecture. If it were you, you would probably tolerate it."
Ye Wanwan: "…" No!
Ye Wanwan frowned deeply. She remembered that Si Yehan was a member of the ancient Si clan, so Si Yehan was also a collateral relative …
The direct line of descent planned to eradicate all the collateral branches. Didn't that mean that when the time came, even her own man would be in danger?
"Hero Yi, you're a direct descendant? That's why you want to eradicate those ancient clans? "Ye Wanwan probed Yi Shuihan.
"This has nothing to do with you," Yi Shuihan said.
Since Yi Shuihan didn't want to say anything, Ye Wanwan wouldn't insist on getting to the bottom of it, so she dropped this question.
However, it had to be said that Yi Shuihan seemed to know a lot of things. If he had the chance, he had to think of a way to worm information out of Yi Shuihan. If he couldn't, he would ask Tangtang. After all, Tangtang was Yi Shuihan's disciple, so he might know something.
"Ah, that's right, Baby Tangtang, let me tell you something! It's that man we saw last time who looks a lot like your dad. Do you still remember him? "Ye Wanwan nervously probed.
When Tangtang saw that Mommy had been talking to Master and ignoring him, he felt a bit resentful. Now that Mommy finally paid attention to him, his eyes brightened and he tilted his head. "Are you talking about Lord Asura, Mommy?"
