After Ye Wanwan finished speaking, Haitang’s expression shifted minutely . “Um… why?”
Ye Wanwan was silent for a long while .
“Haitang… you don’t need to know too much about this matter . Just do as I say . I need to test it out,” Ye Wanwan finally replied .
“Alright, I understand,” Haitang agreed . “Then I’ll go back to make preparations now . ”
“Thank you . ” Ye Wanwan nodded lightly .
Seconds after Haitang left, a soft voice came from behind Ye Wanwan . “Xiao Feng, long time no see . ”
This voice was both strange and incredibly familiar to her .
Ye Wanwan reflexively turned around .
The man wore a fleeting smile on his face as he looked at Ye Wanwan with his long and narrow eyes .
This man before her emitted a scholar’s aura from his bones .
“Brother Ziran?!”
Ye Wanwan was startled briefly when she saw the man but quickly regained her wits .
Of course she wasn’t unfamiliar with this man . He was her sworn brother, Wen Ziran .
“It really is you . ”
Wen Ziran chuckled lightly before walking toward Ye Wanwan .
Soon, Wen Ziran stopped in front of Ye Wanwan . “Your voice hasn’t changed all these years, but I wonder if your appearance has changed . ”
“It hasn’t changed . It’s almost the same,” Ye Wanwan answered with a smile .
In Ye Wanwan’s memory, Wen Ziran was blind in both eyes from birth and couldn’t see anything .
“When did you get captured here, Brother Ziran?” Ye Wanwan asked the man with a frown .
Although First Elder from the Fearless Alliance previously hypothesized this, Ye Wanwan didn’t expect to actually see Wen Ziran in here .
“Not too long ago… But that’s unimportant . You, however—where did you go all these years? Why did you leave the Fearless Alliance without a word?” Wen Ziran asked .
Ye Wanwan didn’t explain in detail .
Since Ye Wanwan and Wen Ziran hadn’t seen each other for a long time, they conversed quite a bit after finding a spot to sit .
Ye Wanwan and Wen Ziran had known each other for more than 10 years, so she knew him very well . Considering Wen Ziran’s strength, if he wasn’t blind, he definitely wouldn’t have been captured in this kind of place .
After learning about Ye Wanwan’s plan, Wen Ziran was startled . If it was as she said, it wouldn’t be long before they could successfully leave this island .
“Actually, I don’t think the Martial Arts Union holds any ill intentions towards the people they captured on this island,” Wen Ziran quietly said to Ye Wanwan after a long while .
Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows when she heard that . Wen Ziran’s thoughts were similar to Ji Xiuran’s .
“The majority of the people imprisoned on this island are people who’ve brazenly rejected the Direct Line’s invitation, so I don’t think this could be that coincidental… Furthermore, the Martial Arts Union most likely wouldn’t capture us for no reason,” Wen Ziran explained .
Ye Wanwan neither refuted nor agreed with this .
She was still clueless about the Martial Arts Union’s possible objectives right now .
There was one notable point though . The act of capturing everyone to this island, restricting their freedom, and imprisoning them without a deadline wasn’t kind at its roots .
“Say, don’t tell me you don’t want to leave?” Ye Wanwan glanced at Wen Ziran .
Wen Ziran shook his head and chuckled . “How could that be? Who would want to be imprisoned on this island? Leaving is the best option, of course . ”
“I’m very curious about how you were captured to this place with your strength?” Ye Wanwan asked him .
“Actually, you can’t call it ‘being captured’ . ” Wen Ziran shook his head . “I previously accepted a mission where I was supposed to investigate this island . Before I entered the island though, I ran into the members of the Martial Arts Union who were guarding the island boundaries and I was tricked onto the island . ”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
