“Ye Wanan’s gaze fell on a flower: ‘Do you believe it now?’
‘It feels a bit like a dream… Everything happened so suddenly.’ The flower stared at Ye Wanan and said, ‘Actually, I didn’t plan to assassinate you today. If I wanted to, I wouldn’t have chosen the Unfearing Alliance. I just wanted to find out if you’re truly from the legitimate line, if you’re really a threat to the Nie family. But… it’s a good thing I came this time. If I must choose, I choose to believe Feng Xuanyi. After all, we’ve been through so much together, life and death, and Feng Xuanyi wouldn’t deceive me.’
Ye Wanan nodded with some relief. Thankfully, there’s still a chance to salvage the situation and it’s not beyond repair.
‘As long as you understand,’ Feng Xuanyi said.
‘Um… can you untie me? I’m at least a top assassin. This situation is a bit awkward…’ The flower awkwardly smiled.
Immediately, Ye Wanan nodded and had Feng Xuanyi untie the flower.
After moving around for a moment, the flower sat in a nearby chair.
‘So, what should I do now?’ The flower stared at Ye Wanan.
Before Ye Wanan could respond, the flower suddenly said, ‘You must be Miss Wu You, right?’
Ye Wanan: ‘…’
‘I’m really Nie Wu You,’ Ye Wanan sighed.
‘I believe you,’ the flower nodded. ‘Thank you, Miss Wu You, for interceding for me back then.’
‘I honestly don’t remember what happened back then,’ Ye Wanan said.
After Feng Xuanyi explained, the flower finally understood the story behind Ye Wanan’s amnesia.
‘Miss Wu You, rest assured! I’ll definitely take care of Si Yehan and avenge you!’ The flower clenched their fists, teeth gritted.
Ye Wanan’s lips twitched slightly as she looked at Feng Xuanyi. ‘Where’s my knife?!’
‘Don’t be impulsive…’ Feng Xuanyi quickly held onto Ye Wanan.
Seeing this, the flower looked utterly confused. What’s going on now?!
‘Whether revenge is taken or not has nothing to do with you,’ Feng Xuanyi rubbed his temples.
‘Alright, whatever you say, I’ll do. I’m ready to face danger,’ the flower nodded. ‘I’ll climb mountains and wade through flames without hesitation.’
‘You don’t need to do the mountain and fire part,’ Feng Xuanyi gazed at the flower, giving a faint smile. ‘Wait until tomorrow, hold Miss Wu You captive, find that imposter, and tell her that you’ve captured me.’
Hearing Feng Xuanyi’s words, Ye Wanan was momentarily stunned. Wait a second… He never mentioned this to her before. Why would he want to capture her?!
Not just Ye Wanan, even the flower had a baffled expression.
‘The hermit has his own plans,’ Feng Xuanyi chuckled.
That night, Ye Wanan and the flower listened to Feng Xuanyi’s plan, applauding in amazement.
…
The next morning, Feng Xuanyi and the flower napped briefly in the office, while Ye Wanan took the opportunity to handle some Unfearing Alliance documents and formulate a plan to find Ji Xiuran and others.
Over at the Crimson Flame Academy, since the dean was away and had seemingly disappeared, she planned to wait for his return before turning in her task and conducting the third hypnosis.
‘Leader.’
Soon, there was a knock on the office door.
‘Come in,’ Ye Wanan said.
The Elder walked into the office, first glancing at the sleeping flower, then looking at Ye Wanan with a hint of confusion.
This assassin… why has she been untied and is still in the Unfearing Alliance?
‘We convinced her to switch sides,’ Ye Wanan explained.
Upon hearing this, the Elder immediately gave Ye Wanan a thumbs-up and said, ‘It’s well-deserved of a leader. Truly remarkable!’
‘What’s the matter?’ Ye Wanan put down the documents and looked at the Elder.
‘Leader, someone from the Ling family wants to see you,’ the Elder spoke.”
