Persistent in your wrongdoings

The elderly man looked at Iceberg Man behind him. "It's thanks to Jingmu."

"Him?" Si Xia examined Iceberg Man.

"Mn." The elderly man nodded. "When I was grievously injured, it was he who saved me. These past years, I've been bedridden and unconscious, and my body hasn't fully recovered. However, because of the urgent situation this time, Jingmu had no choice but to use special methods to help me recover some energy, which is why I'm able to appear before you all now."

"What kind of special method… Are there side effects?" Ye Wanwan asked immediately.

Iceberg Man nodded.

"There are some side effects, but it's nothing compared to this current situation," the elderly man replied without care.

Ye Wanwan stared at Iceberg Man with scrutiny. Just what was his relationship with Grandpa…?

As though the elderly man detected Ye Wanwan's question, he said, "I arranged for people to stay by your brother's side and your side to help you both."

"Huh?!" Ye Wanwan was taken back.

"Jingmu was the person sent to be by your brother's side while Wen Ziran was the person sent to be by your side," the elderly man replied. "Si Xia didn't know about this either."

"Teacher, long time no see…" Wen Ziran stepped forward and bowed at the elderly man. "I always firmly believed that Xiao Feng had nothing to do with your disappearance and that you were still alive."

Ye Wanwan looked at Wen Ziran, bewildered. Didn't he… hide too freaking deeply?!

The person who Grandpa sent to assist Brother was Dead Man while hers was Wen Ziran… If Grandpa didn't tell her, she never would've known.

"Nameless Nie, he actually told me that you probably discovered he was sent by me." The elderly man turned to Nameless Nie. "So you should probably also know that it was him who saved me and used gu to treat me and help me recover, right?"

"I do," Nameless Nie replied.

Although his grandpa left the Nie family when he was still young and they didn't see each other often or share a deep relationship, his grandpa constantly kept him and his sister in mind and even secretly sent two people to their sides to help and support them.

It was precisely because of this last entanglement that Nameless Nie didn't lay the last strike and spared him.

"Unfortunately, you didn't give me a chance to explain back then and held great resentment against me, so I didn't even have the opportunity to tell you Ling Miao was still alive." The elderly man sighed softly.

Nameless Nie looked at the elderly man and appeared to want to say something but couldn't utter a word in the end.

"Grandpa, you're still alive… That's great… Grandpa, do you know? Your wish back then, I'm about to fulfill it! Grandpa, let's do it together!" Si Xia excitedly said.

"Si Xia, why are you still persistent in your wrongdoings?!" Ye Wanwan shouted angrily.

"Persistent in my wrongdoings?!" Si Xia turned to Ye Wanwan. "Sister… I blamed you wrongly… I'll apologize to you, but Grandpa's still alive. Don't tell me you want to betray us again? Take a look at yourself! As long as we're willing, we'll definitely have a chance of replacing the Arbitration Council."

Ye Wanwan shook her head.

The Arbitration Council was nothing but a name. What they wanted to change wasn't the Arbitration Council. It was the rules and system that had been passed down for hundreds and thousands of years in the Independent State.

Back then, whether it was the order to kill her or Ling Miao, it was placed by the previous president of the Arbitration Council. So many years had passed already—who knew how many times the President and the higher-ups of the Arbitration Council had changed?
