Si Bayi seemed to have lost his ambitions and became an ordinary person. When he saw Si Xia, he sobbed and wept, expressing his remorse to Si Xia.

However, Si Xia understood that Si Bayi had many informants in the Independent State, and Si Bayi was weeping most likely because he knew Si Xia was now the right-hand man of the Martial Arts Union's President.

Neither Si Xia nor Si Bayi addressed the elephant in the room. Si Xia returned to the Si residence merely because he wanted to see his grandmother, so he didn't want to delve into Si Bayi's business.

It was during that time that Si Xia met his Ninth Uncle, Si Yehan.

Si Yehan, the youngest genius of the Independent State's Si Clan. As a member of the Martial Arts Union, Si Xia naturally knew about his Ninth Uncle's second ident.i.ty as Lord Asura of Asura.

Back then, Si Xia mused that mere China contained many hidden dragons.

Lord Asura.

Si Wutian.

And him.

As a member of the Martial Arts Union, especially since he was the president's right hand, his ident.i.ty was naturally concealed flawlessly. Even his Ninth Uncle didn't know his true ident.i.ty.

Although Si Yehan investigated him and sent people to track him, he naturally found nothing in China.

After spending a long time with his grandmother in the Si family, Si Xia returned to the Independent State again.

…

"After you returned to the Independent State… you launched a hunt after me… usurped my grandpa's position and became the President of the Martial Arts Union…" Ye Wanwan coldly looked at Si Xia.

Si Xia's lips turned up. "It was rather coincidental now that you mention it… After I returned to the Independent State, Si Yehan also returned to the Independent State. What was more coincidental was that he actually rescued you at the last minute… You know what's more hilarious… I was sitting in the car, but Si Yehan didn't recognize me."

Ye Wanwan's fists clenched. "So Ah-Jiu didn't know about your ident.i.ty this whole time. After Ah-Jiu and I went to China, you openly used your ident.i.ty as Si Xia to go back as well and monitor our every move… That's precisely why you know my preferences and incidentally called me 'sister"…"

"Heh, your reasoning is commendable," Si Xia said.

"You and your father, Si Bayi, are truly father and son. Both of you are talented actors. Forget about other people—both you and your father have been acting this whole time with each other," Ye Wanwan continued.

"Of course." Si Xia smiled faintly. "Since Si Bayi was willing to act with me, I'd naturally cooperate with him. Every day, I had to watch him pretend to be wrecked with nerves at the Si residence every day and act terrified that Si Yehan would kill him. It was disgusting. He merely wanted me to be honest with him so that he could borrow my power to attack Si Yehan, but why would I? Si Bayi was also my enemy, no?"

"Si Xia, where in the world is my grandpa right now?!" Ye Wanwan shouted harshly.

"Where's Grandpa?" Si Xia donned a contemplative look. "Let me think…"

"If you don't speak the truth today, don't think about leaving this island!"

"Worriless Nie, are you scaring me…? I'm so scared." Si Xia smiled devilishly. "But after thinking about it, it's fine even if I tell you. In truth… why are you asking me where your grandpa is? You should ask yourself instead."

Ye Wanwan frowned deeper. "Just what are you trying to say, Si Xia?"

"Hahaha… What I'm trying to say…? Worriless Nie, didn't you kill your grandpa with your own hands? Hm?!" The coldness in Si Xia's eyes flashed stormily.
