Chapter 2282 - Recall a person

Chapter 2282 Recall a person
Furthermore, wasn’t Yi Lingjun caring a bit too much about this old friend of hers?
In the midst of Ye Wanwan’s suspicion, Yi Lingjun’s expression returned to normal, as though what she saw earlier was a figment of her imagination.

Since Miss Nie mentioned there was someone similar to me in appearance, I got curious and asked a few questions. You don’t mind, right, Miss Nie?


I don’t mind, I don’t mind. In truth, the world is so big, so it isn’t strange to have similar looking people,
Ye Wanwan replied.

It’s just… after listening to Miss Nie’s description, I do recall a person like that,
Yi Lingjun calmly said.

Who?




He Lianjue. Have you heard of this name, Miss Nie?
Yi Lingjun asked.

Eh…
Ye Wanwan was startled. She didn’t expect Yi Lingjun to guess correctly, but she did make it pretty obvious.
Hence, Ye Wanwan scratched her head and didn’t bother to conceal it anymore.
I was… referring to him indeed…

Yi Lingjun shook his head and chuckled lightly.
I believe Miss Nie is aware that He Lianjue doesn’t have a good relationship in the Twelve Independent States. As they say, one is marked by the company one keeps, so I hope that Miss Nie can break all ties with this kind of person and doesn’t become too close to him.

The rumors said that He Lianjue and Yi Lingjun fought and revered utterly different types of martial arts. One was good while the other was evil. They were basically archenemies.
Ye Wanwan’s eyes glinted, and she frantically waved her hand.
Not close, not close. I said earlier that I wasn’t familiar with He Lianjue at all. Eh… look at my memory… what’s that old freak’s name again? He Lian-something…? I suddenly forgot!

The corners of Yi Lingjun’s lips twitched as he stared at her.
Really? But how come I heard Miss Nie had a deep connection to He Lianjue and that you were master and disciple?

Ye Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat. She hastily refuted,
That’s a rumor!

Sht! Very, very few people knew about He Lianjue wanting to take her on as his disciple, so how did Yi Lingjun know?
However, he had eyes everywhere, so it wasn’t strange that he knew…



Is that really so?
Yi Lingjun was expressionless.

More real than a pearl!
Ye Wanwan was convicted.
I absolutely don’t have that kind of relationship with He Lianjue! You can investigate it however you want!

Ye Wanwan’s words weren’t false, per se. Back then, He Lianjue demanded to take her on as his personal disciple with the condition that she had to break all ties with her other teachers and wasn’t allowed to learn martial arts from anyone else, including her Grandpa…
There was no way she would agree!
Anyway, He Lianjue was basically a wanted criminal in the Independent State and was the archenemy of the President of the Arbitration Council. If Yi Lingjun were to learn about her relationship with He Lianjue, it’d be disastrous!

Mn, that’s good.
Yi Lingjun smiled faintly a long while later.

Oh right… President Yi, since you’re here today and I came here, there’s a matter that requires your judgment, President Yi,
Ye Wanwan began after a moment of thought.

I’m listening,
Yi Lingjun said.

President Yi, it’s like this—I believe you’re aware that a war occurred between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch in our state some time ago. In my earlier years, I created a faction called the Fearless Alliance. When the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch were preparing for battle, the Fearless Alliance signed an alliance treaty with the Direct Line, and we were both obligated to assist each other.

However, what do you think happened? The Direct Line is absolute scum. When the Fearless Alliance encountered trouble, the Direct Line ignored our perils and caused the Fearless Alliance to be defeated and suffer enormous losses!
