The past surfaced in Ye Wanwan's mind following Nameless Nie's words.
Back then, Nameless Nie left home when he was young and was sent to a distant relative, Second Grandma, for education purposes.
Second Grandma was a distant younger cousin of Clan Leader Ling. Although she held the same seniority as Clan Leader Ling, she was nearly 30 years younger than him.
However, Second Grandma was extraordinarily talented in martial arts, was extremely courageous, and was an outstanding teacher for the younger generation.
Hence, back then, Clan Leader Ling didn't obtain Patriarch Nie and Madam Nie's approval before sending Nameless Nie to Second Grandma.
Second Grandma was a very strict teacher. Nameless Nie underwent a lot of suffering but gained a plethora of skills.
Second Grandma had one daughter named Ling Miao. Ling Miao was a generation above Nameless Nie and was considered his aunt, but she was a similar age to Nameless Nie.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call those two childhood sweethearts, and they got along very well.
Soon, Nameless Nie returned to the Independent State but never broke contact with Ling Miao.
Ye Wanwan once heard Nameless Nie mention that he and Aunt Ling Miao fell in love...
The first time Ye Wanwan saw Ling Miao... was actually when Ling Miao was assailed by various factions of the Independent State. It was Grandpa's plot that killed Ling Miao...
Grandpa used Nameless Nie's life to threaten Ling Miao... and made her meet him on her own.
Ye Wanwan still vaguely remembered that Ling Miao had a very sweet and spirited appearance but her temperament was the complete opposite. She was exceptionally apathetic, akin to a ball of ice, and very hard to get along with if you were an outsider.
Before Ling Miao died, she personally handed the ring that represented the supreme power in the Rose of Death to Ye Wanwan and asked her whether Nameless Nie was safe or not...
To this day, Ye Wanwan still couldn't forget Ling Miao's content expression after learning Nameless Nie wasn't in any danger.
That was where Ye Wanwan's memory left off.
