2247 Let
s bet bigger

Si Xia snorted.
The sacrificial soldier told Yi Shuihan while sobbing that the Collateral Branch was afraid Yi Shuihan would join the Direct Line, so they purposefully sent her to assassinate Yi Shuihan but she fell in love with Yi Shuihan, so she couldn’t do it at the last minute, which caused Yi Shuihan’s mother to eat the poisoned food coincidentally…

Si Xia turned to Yi Shuihan.
Did you know? That girl didn’t love you at all. She didn’t have any feelings. She poisoned your mother for the sake of framing the Collateral Branch. This was a plot that was concocted by the Direct Line from the start.


What an absurd joke. What proof do you have for saying something like this?
Jiang Ying harshly rebuked.

Proof? Of course I have proof.
Si Xia immediately snapped his fingers.
A second later, an elderly man from the Direct Line slowly walked out from his hiding spot.



It’s him…
Ye Wanwan was startled when she saw the elderly man. Wasn’t this old guy Elder Xue, who was angered to the point of being bedridden by her? It appeared he still wasn’t in good health.
Ye Wanwan never expected Si Xia to have bribed even Elder Xue from Direct Line…

I can bear witness that everything the President said was 100% true. It’s like this—the sacrificial soldier was raised by the Direct Line from a young age and underwent many years of training… I didn’t agree to this plan back then since no matter what, Yi Shuihan and his mother were members of the Direct Line, but… the majority of the higher-ups ignored my disapproval.
Elder Xue sighed.

You…
Jiang Ying angrily glared at Elder Xue.

Sorry, Clan Leader… My daughter and son-in-law… they are at the hands of the President, so I can only tell the truth.
Elder Xue shook his head.
Ye Wanwan turned pensive. No wonder a well-esteemed Direct Line higher-up like Elder Xue would side with Si Xia—it turned out Si Xia was threatening him with his daughter and his son-in-law’s lives.

It was you.

Yi Shuihan set his gaze on the Direct Line members, his face so dark that ink could drip from it.

Heh… Don’t be in such a hurry. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to seek revenge in a moment,
Si Xia said to Yi Shuihan.

I said earlier that I wouldn’t attack until their matter is resolved,
Yi Shuihan returned.


The members of the ancient Si clan started examining Si Xia.
The Clan Leader of the ancient Si clan had a frown on his face. He didn’t expect Si Wutian’s child to turn into such a figure. If he did, he would’ve allowed Si Xia to join the Si clan.

How about it? I’ve done justice to my position as the President of the Martial Arts Union by clearing the Collateral Branch’s name, right?
Si Xia joked to the members of the collateral ancient clans.
No one answered because they all didn’t know his objective.
Soon, Si Xia’s gaze landed on Nameless Nie.
Before Si Xia could say anything, Ye Wanwan shouted coldly,
Si Xia, what do you want?

Si Xia shook his head.
Patience. I have something to tell him.


Oh…? I’m all ears,
Nameless Nie answered.

Brother Nameless, how about it? Are you interested in coming over and helping me?
Si Xia asked.

How about this instead—are you interested in coming over and helping me?
The corners of Nameless Nie’s lips turned up.



No need for the hurry… Let’s make a bet. I’ll bet that you’ll definitely come and help me. How about it?
Si Xia suggested.

What’s the wager? Since we’re betting, let’s bet bigger. What do you think?
Nameless Nie retorted.

Sure. Since we’re betting, we’ll bet bigger… Let me think, what should I use for the bet…
Si Xia rubbed his chin in contemplation.
How about this—I’ll use Ling Miao’s life to bet with you! What do you think?
