"What do you mean?!" the girl asked.
"What do I mean?" Si Xia snorted. "You accepted that ring, which means you're the new leader of the Rose of Death. The Arbitration Council learned about this... so they wanted Grandpa... to personally kill you, snatch the ring and hand it over to the Arbitration Council."
"What...?" The girl was stunned.
"The first time, Grandpa had no choice. As the President of the Independent State's Martial Arts Union, he was bound by the Arbitration Council and couldn't resist... But this time, because of you, Grandpa finally decided to take over the Independent State and oppose the Arbitration Council..." Si Xia coldly explained.
"What... Why didn't Grandpa tell me?!" the girl exclaimed in shock.
"Tell you?" Si Xia shook his head. "Because Grandpa didn't want you to know this matter was related to you and didn't want you to get involved. This plan might've succeeded, but it might've also failed. He didn't tell you because he was afraid you'd feel guilty and blame yourself if it failed and was afraid it'd bring harm to you. But... Grandpa's concerns were unnecessary. How could an apathetic and heartless person like you feel guilt and self-reproach?"
...
Soon, everything turned into nothing and darkness returned.
Ye Wanwan felt someone madly shaking her.
"Sis Feng, what's wrong with you? D*mn... You aren't dead, right, Sis Feng? Don't scare me! Sis Feng, are you okay?"
Ye Wanwan slowly opened her eyes and saw the panicked Big Dipper.
"Stop shaking, alright?" Ye Wanwan's brows furrowed deeply.
"Sis Feng, you aren't dead!" Big Dipper's expression turned joyous when he saw Ye Wanwan opening her eyes.
Ye Wanwan didn't say anything and stood up from the floor, sitting on the sofa.
She finally remembered everything...
However, this type of memory... she neither wanted it nor was willing to accept it.
How could she have killed Grandpa...? That dagger was the weapon she typically used to spar with Grandpa and wasn't sharp at all...
