Ling Shichang asked Ye Wanwan.
"Grandpa … My brother recently accepted a mission and hasn't returned yet." Ye Wanwan forced a smile onto her face.
Nameless Nie's matter wasn't made public, and the Nie family sealed off the news immediately, so even the Ling family didn't know about it.
"Alright. Tell your brother to come to the Ling residence after he returns," Ling Shichang instructed.
"Got it." Ye Wanwan nodded.
"Oh right, what's going on with that island? Who's the mastermind?" Ling Shichang continued asking.
Ye Wanwan pondered it for a moment before deciding to tell Ling Shichang the whole story.
"It's the Martial Arts Union …"
After learning the truth, Ling Shichang furrowed his brows. "So you're saying that the little boy your grandpa saved back then is the current President of the Martial Arts Union …"
"Yes." Ye Wanwan nodded.
"I'll investigate this matter carefully." Ling Shichang's expression was serious. "The Independent State might not continue to be peaceful in the near future."
"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Ye Wanwan was astonished.
"While you were on the island, the Direct Line announced that they're going to start a war with the Independent State's Collateral Branch and are recruiting all the major factions in the Independent State," Ling Shichang slowly said.
The Direct Line announced they were going to start a war with the Independent State …
Ye Wanwan really didn't know about this matter.
"Oh right, Grandpa … how are the Collateral Branch and the Direct Line differentiated?" Ye Wanwan asked Ling Shichang.
"To put it bluntly, the so-called Collateral Branch and the Direct Line are the descendants of the earliest seniors who lived in the Independent State. The ancient Si clan, the ancient Jiang clan, and other ancient clans are considered the Collateral Branch. The Direct Line used to be an ancient clan in the Independent State, but the Direct Line lost after the War of the Collateral Branch and Direct Line, so the Collateral Branch chased them out of the Independent State," Ling Shichang explained.
"Then are our four great clans the Direct Line or the Collateral Branch?" Ye Wanwan continued asking.
Ling Shichang smiled faintly. "Ah, Worriless, our four great clans aren't considered the Collateral Branch or the Direct Line. It's not just our four great clans. All the factions in the Independent State aside from the ancient clans aren't members of the Collateral Branch or the Direct Line."
Ye Wanwan: "…"
Ye Wanwan finally had a rough understanding of the Collateral Branch and Direct Line.
To put it bluntly, this was a war between the aboriginals and had nothing to do with them.
Since it didn't matter, then let them fight. It wouldn't affect them anyway. At most, it would be the collateral relatives who would be kicked out.
"Grandpa, since it has nothing to do with us, why should we get involved?" Ye Wanwan was confused.
"Relationships do matter." Ling Shichang explained, "The Direct Line emphasizes governance while the Collateral Branch emphasizes balance. If the Independent State is controlled by the Direct Line, it wouldn't be a good thing."
"I see."
After hearing Grandpa Ling Shi Chang's explanation, Ye Wanwan was enlightened.
Now that he thought about it carefully, the strongest faction in the Independent State was definitely the ancient clans.
However, just as Ling Shichang had said, the aboriginals placed great importance on balance. Therefore, they would never interfere in the affairs of the various great powers, let alone interfere or be biased.
To be precise, the various ancient clans were in charge of the Independent State's rules and regulations, while the Martial Alliance was in charge of enforcing the rules and regulations. As for the other factions, they belonged to the hierarchy.
"Grandpa, who do you think has a higher chance of winning this battle between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch?" Ye Wanwan asked.
