Moreover, wasn't Yi Lingjun overly concerned about this old friend of hers?
Ye Wanwan was in the midst of her suspicions when Yi Lingjun's expression returned to normal, as though what she saw earlier was merely her imagination.
"I heard Miss Nie say someone looked so similar to me, so I was a bit curious, so I asked a few more questions. I hope you don't mind, Miss Nie?"
"I don't mind, I don't mind. In truth, the world is so big, so it isn't strange for there to be people who look similar," Ye Wanwan replied.
"It's just that … Miss Nie's description reminded me of someone," Yi Lingjun said slowly.
"Who?" Ye Wanwan asked.
"He Lianjue. Have you heard of this name before, Miss Nie?" Yi Lingjun asked.
"Eh …" Ye Wanwan was startled. She didn't expect Yi Lingjun to guess it, but she did make it quite obvious.
Hence, Ye Wanwan scratched her head and didn't hide it. "I'm talking about … this person indeed …"
Yi Lingjun shook his head and chuckled lightly. "I believe Miss Nie is aware that He Lianjue's reputation in the Twelve Independent States isn't very good. As the saying goes, one is marked by the company one keeps, so I hope Miss Nie can draw a clear line between yourself and this kind of person and not get too close to him."
Rumor had it that He Lianjue and Yi Lingjun fought before. Plus, the martial arts they revered were completely different. One was righteous and the other evil, so they were practically archenemies.
Ye Wanwan's eyes glinted, and she frantically waved her hands. "Not close, not close. I told you just now, I'm not familiar with He Lianjue at all. Eh … look at my memory … That old freak is called He Lian-something again … I suddenly forgot!"
Yi Lingjun's lips twitched. "Is that so? But why did I hear that Miss Nie has a close relationship with He Lianjue and that you're master and disciple?"
Ye Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, and she hastily exclaimed, "Rumors!"
D * mn! An extremely small number of people knew He Lianjue wanted to take her as his disciple, so how did Yi Lingjun know?
However, he had eyes and ears everywhere, so it wasn't strange for him to know …
"Is that really the case?" Yi Lingjun was expressionless.
"Truer than a pearl!" Ye Wanwan was very certain. "I absolutely don't have that kind of relationship with He Lianjue. You can investigate him however you want!"
Ye Wanwan's words weren't false. Back then, He Lianjue insisted on taking her in as his personal disciple and requested her to sever all ties with her other masters and forbid her from learning martial arts from other people, including Grandpa …
Thinking about it, she wouldn't agree either!
Anyway, He Lianjue was akin to a wanted criminal in the Independent State and was a sworn enemy of the President of the Arbitration Council. If Yi Lingjun learned of her relationship with He Lianjue, it would be disastrous.
"En, that's good." A long while later, Yi Lingjun smiled.
"Oh right … President Yi, since you're here today and I'm also here, there's something I'd like President Yi to decide," Ye Wanwan said after a moment of thought.
"Tell me about it," Yi Lingjun said to Ye Wanwan.
"President Yi, it's like this. I'm sure you know that the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch had a war a few days ago in our state, and I established a faction called the Fearless Alliance a few years ago. When the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch were preparing for war, the Fearless Alliance signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Direct Line and was obligated to help each other.
"However, guess what? The Direct Line is too despicable! When our Fearless Alliance was in trouble, the Direct Line didn't care about our survival at all, causing our Fearless Alliance to be defeated and suffer disastrous losses!"
