"The Direct Line," Ling Shichang answered instantly without taking time to think.
"Is the Direct Line really that strong…? Why were they expelled from the Independent State by the Collateral Branch back then?" Ye Wanwan couldn't understand.
"During the war between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch back then, luck actually factored into the Collateral Branch's win. Furthermore, the Direct Line currently has a major helper—Piece of Sh*t…" Ling Shichang said.
At the mention of Piece of Sh*t, Ye Wanwan's expression became surprised.
Indeed, Yi Shuihan appeared to have some deep enmity with those ancient clans.
"Grandpa, just what happened between Piece of Sh*t, the Direct Line, and the Collateral Branch?" Ye Wanwan pressed.
"I'm not certain about that. Isn't Tangtang Piece of Sh*t's disciple? You can ask Tangtang about this matter," Ling Shichang suggested.
…
After eating lunch with Ling Shichang, Ye Wanwan returned to the Fearless Alliance headquarters.
In these past two days, Tangtang had been staying at the Fearless Alliance, so she could ask Tangtang.
Currently, inside Ye Wanwan's office in the Fearless Alliance, Seven Star and Big Dipper were crowded around Wen Ziran and Big Dipper was especially overjoyed.
"Brother Ziran, you're finally back! Without you, the Fearless Alliance was a tiger without its wings and a male eagle without its eyes…" Big Dipper rattled on.
Seven Star shot Big Dipper a look.
A male eagle without its eyes…
He was such a good conversationalist.
Wen Ziran merely smiled, showing no care regarding Big Dipper's description.
"What are you all talking about?" Ye Wanwan asked as she pushed the door open and entered.
"Sis Feng, you're back…"
They walked up to her immediately.
"Xiao Feng, while I was gone, you've taken good care of the Fearless Alliance," Wen Ziran commented with a smile.
The old Fearless Alliance solely relied on these two pillars
One was President Fearless, Bai Feng, while the other person was Wen Ziran, and neither person was dispensable. Relying on those elders and hall masters was obviously improbable.
In the entire Fearless Alliance, only First Elder and Seven Star were on the normal side—an incontestable point.
Before Ye Wanwan could speak, Wen Ziran suddenly said, "People from the Direct Line came this morning."
"What?!" Ye Wanwan was dumbfounded.
People from the Direct Line visited the Fearless Alliance?
"That's right, Sis Feng, an old man came this morning. He was a member of the Direct Line. If I didn't see how old and infirmed he was, I would've kicked him to the ground," Big Dipper grumbled.
Ye Wanwan: "…"
"Brother Ziran, why did members of the Direct Line visit the Fearless Alliance?" Ye Wanwan asked Wen Ziran.
"Since you weren't here, I didn't talk long with them and sent them away. They should be back again soon," Wen Ziran replied.
"Got it." Ye Wanwan nodded.
She was rather curious why members of the Direct Line came here.
After chatting with Wen Ziran and the other two, Ye Wanwan went to find Tangtang.
The Fearless Alliance's 13th Floor:
Tangtang was currently lying on Great White's stomach while Virus kept yawning with his head lowered on Tangtang's left.
"Mommy."
The drowsy Tangtang was invigorated the second he saw Ye Wanwan entering the room.
"Tangtang, if you don't read more books, Mommy will send you to school," Ye Wanwan said to Tangtang.
"Tangtang has been reading," Tangtang objected.
"Tangtang, you definitely don't want to become uneducated like your Uncle Big Dipper when you grow up, right?" Ye Wanwan asked.
"…"
"Oh right, Tangtang… Mommy has a question for you." Ye Wanwan pulled Tangtang into her arms and sat down on the sofa.
"What is it, Mommy?" Tangtang asked curiously.
"Um, do you know the story with your master, Yi Shuihan?"
