Ye Wanwan stared at Nameless Nie and was silent for a long time before saying, "In truth, Ji Xiuran's hypnosis on you lost its effect a long time ago, right?"
Nameless Nie nodded. "Although the hypnosis was powerful, it didn't last for too long. It only lasted for about half a year."
"So when you came to China to find me, you weren't in a hypnotic state anymore?" Ye Wanwan asked pensively.
Nameless Nie smiled faintly. "That's right. However, when I first met you in China, I merely thought you looked a bit like Worriless, so I really didn't recognize you."
"Then … why did you come to China to find me?" Ye Wanwan asked.
"I came to find you. I didn't have that many reasons. Of course, I also wanted to retrieve the ring," Nameless Nie answered truthfully.
Ye Wanwan didn't refute anything. Although the ring on Nameless Nie's finger was made by him and had nothing to do with the Rose of Death, it held great significance to Nameless Nie.
This ring represented his relationship with Ling Miao.
Ye Wanwan believed that even if she used her ring to exchange for Nameless Nie's ring, he absolutely wouldn't agree to it.
"Then … why did you let the Direct Line steal the other ring?" Ye Wanwan asked Nameless Nie.
"It's very simple." Nameless Nie smiled faintly. "If that ring was in my hands … I would be able to mobilize an even greater power and easily destroy the Independent State."
"But why did you give up in the end?" Ye Wanwan pressed.
Nameless Nie sunk into silence.
"What else?" A long while later, Nameless Nie shook his head. "You'd rather die than hand it over. Do you really want me to kill you for that ring?"
"I understand …" Ye Wanwan nodded lightly.
From the looks of it now, it was very clear.
Back then, after Ling Miao died, Nameless Nie descended into madness and wanted to avenge Ling Miao by destroying all the factions that participated in her assassination.
These factions encompassed nearly the entire Independent State.
Originally, Nameless Nie sought out Ji Xiuran because he wanted Ji Xiuran to lend him a hand, but Ji Xiuran couldn't bear to see Nameless Nie in such pain, so he used hypnosis to make Nameless Nie forget this memory and changed Nameless Nie's personality into a greedy businessman who only liked to earn money.
In this way, Nameless Nie was busy making money every day. He was happy and this could be considered a blessing for Nameless Nie.
However, what Ji Xiuran didn't expect was that Nameless Nie's willpower was truly too strong. In merely half a year, Ji Xiuran's hypnosis lost its effectiveness.
Ever since Nameless Nie recalled everything, he assumed the identity of the black-robed man and became the Direct Line's strategist, wanting to help the Direct Line regain control of the Independent State.
But what exactly was going on was now clear at a glance.
Back then, the Direct Line had also participated in the encirclement of Ling Miao.
The reason why Nameless Nie was willing to help the direct descendants was because he wanted to trigger the war between the direct descendants and the collateral descendants as soon as possible.
Nameless Nie knew very well that once the war between the direct descendants and the collateral descendants started, all the factions in the Independent State wouldn't be able to stay out of it and would all have to participate.
Nameless Nie's true objective was to make the direct descendants and the collateral descendants kill each other and perish together, including the factions that supported the direct descendants and the collateral descendants.
Cold sweat involuntarily seeped out of Ye Wanwan's forehead.
