Nameless Nie accepted the money and chuckled playfully. "After I came back, I looked into it, and there's a recluse ancient clan named the Si clan in the Independent State. Within the Si clan, there's someone named Si Yehan. He's a new star in the Si clan, but he's very mysterious and rarely reveals himself."

Ye Wanwan was surprised by Nameless Nie's news.

She naturally knew about the recluse ancient clans in the Independent State and that one of the extremely powerful ancient clans was the Si clan.

However, how could Si Yehan be related to the Independent State's Si clan? The Si clan was such a behemoth in power…

Although Si Yehan's surname was Si, it was because he was from China's Si family. Could the Si family in China be related to the Si clan in the Independent State?

"Haha, Sister Famous Ye, don't bother. I don't think it's possible." Nameless Nie chuckled lightly. "The person you want to find is the patriarch of China's Si family. The surname might be the same, but there's plenty of people surnamed Si. You can't link them together simply because they have the same surname, right?"

Taoist Devotee turned to Nameless Nie. "Captain… This isn't just the same surname, even their names are the same…"

Nameless Nie glanced at him with displeasure. Which of us is the captain?

"Captain, Boss Famous, I've had some dealings with the Si clan before, so I know a little about them. How about I tell you a little about the Si clan?" Taoist Devotee asked.

"Sure." Ye Wanwan nodded.

"In truth, starting several centuries ago, the sons born in the Si clan undergo professional testing after they reach a certain age. These tests include intelligence, physical, virtue, etc. If there's even one area that fails, the Si clan sends the son out of the Independent State, and those children who are sent away will be protected by designated people. After they reach adulthood, they're allowed to develop as they wish on the outside," Taoist Devotee explained slowly.

Nameless Nie pursed his lips. "How's this related to the person Sister Famous Ye's looking for?"

"Of course it's related." Taoist Devotee smiled slightly, looking like a profound immortal. "After those sons who are sent away have children with their partner and their children reach a certain age, the Si clan will send people to bring the children back to the Independent State to be tested again."

"If the children pa.s.s the tests, they will stay behind. If the children don't meet the standard, they will be sent back…"

"Hence, Captain, Boss Famous, do you think Si Yehan's father was a child who didn't pa.s.s the Si clan's tests and was sent away? Later, his father had Si Yehan and Si Yehan was brought back to the Si clan in the Independent State to undergo testing… He ended up pa.s.sing the test and staying in the Si clan… It isn't impossible."

Ye Wanwan was pensive after listening to Taoist Devotee's explanation. If it was Si Yehan, he would definitely be retained in the Si clan with his capabilities. But then Taoist Devotee's hypothesis had to be true and Si Yehan's father was a descendant of the Si clan who didn't pa.s.s the tests and was sent away.

"How do you know so much? You aren't part of the Si clan." Nameless Nie stared at Taoist Devotee.

"Captain… I'm not from the Si clan, but I'm from the Jiang clan… Back then, my father was sent to China and created the Jiang family in China. Later, I was brought back to the Independent State by people from the Jiang clan…" Taoist Devotee sighed. "Whether it's the Jiang clan or the Si clan, they're cut from the same cloth."

Ye Wanwan looked at Taoist Devotee with surprise. She never expected him to be a descendant of the Jiang clan.
