Chapter 2230 - Break all ties

2230 Break all ties

“What do you mean?!” the girl asked.

“What do I mean?” Si Xia snorted. “You accepted that ring, which means you’re the new leader of the Rose of Death. The Arbitration Council learned about this… so they wanted Grandpa… to personally kill you, snatch the ring and hand it over to the Arbitration Council.”

“What…?” The girl was stunned.

“The first time, Grandpa had no choice. As the President of the Independent State’s Martial Arts Union, he was bound by the Arbitration Council and couldn’t resist… But this time, because of you, Grandpa finally decided to take over the Independent State and oppose the Arbitration Council…” Si Xia coldly explained.

“What… Why didn’t Grandpa tell me?!” the girl exclaimed in shock.

“Tell you?” Si Xia shook his head. “Because Grandpa didn’t want you to know this matter was related to you and didn’t want you to get involved. This plan might’ve succeeded, but it might’ve also failed. He didn’t tell you because he was afraid you’d feel guilty and blame yourself if it failed and was afraid it’d bring harm to you. But… Grandpa’s concerns were unnecessary. How could an apathetic and heartless person like you feel guilt and self-reproach?”

…

Soon, everything turned into nothing and darkness returned.

Ye Wanwan felt someone madly shaking her.

“Sis Feng, what’s wrong with you? D*mn… You aren’t dead, right, Sis Feng? Don’t scare me! Sis Feng, are you okay?”

Ye Wanwan slowly opened her eyes and saw the panicked Big Dipper.

“Stop shaking, alright?” Ye Wanwan’s brows furrowed deeply.

“Sis Feng, you aren’t dead!” Big Dipper’s expression turned joyous when he saw Ye Wanwan opening her eyes.

Ye Wanwan didn’t say anything and stood up from the floor, sitting on the sofa.

She finally remembered everything…

However, this type of memory… she neither wanted it nor was willing to accept it.

How could she have killed Grandpa…? That dagger was the weapon she typically used to spar with Grandpa and wasn’t sharp at all…

Although Ye Wanwan felt agony and self-reproach inside, she was incredibly calm.

On the island, Si Xia claimed she wanted to gain domination over the Independent State, but it appeared he merely wanted to enrage her. There was only one sincere line that Si Xia said on the island: She was a demon.

…

When she first discovered she killed Grandpa, she couldn’t endure the pain and didn’t think deeply about it, intent on seeking death.

However, many years had passed, and Ye Wanwan could calmly ponder it now.

There were indeed too many unanswered questions.

In the video, although her grandpa was pierced in the chest by her dagger, he didn’t die immediately. After she escaped, Grandpa used the walls and door to walk out very weakly.

Based on what Si Xia said, Grandpa died outside the door.

Back then, she thought Grandpa died from losing too much blood after being pierced by the dagger.

Now though…

“That’s not right!” Ye Wanwan suddenly shot up.

Big Dipper jolted in fright. “What isn’t right? Where isn’t it right?!”

Ye Wanwan frowned deeply. She still recalled one particular detail.

After she injured Grandpa with the dagger back then, she distinctly heard feather-light footsteps coming from outside, which was why she lost her cool and fled in her blank state.

Back then, she thought these footsteps belonged to someone from the Martial Arts Union who needed something from Grandpa.

If it was really a member of the Martial Arts Union, they definitely would’ve realized Grandpa was injured and saved him, so dying from losing too much blood was impossible!

However, if it wasn’t a member of the Martial Arts Union, who could it have been…?

Outsiders couldn’t enter the Martial Arts Union; only members could unless a top-notch expert snuck inside without anyone noticing…
