2224 Recalling the pas
The girl glanced at the nearby Si Xia. “Grandpa, I’m not the right one to ask. You should ask the one sitting next to you. You give every good thing to him—is he your real grandson?”
“Sister, what you’re saying is wrong.” Si Xia looked at Ye Wanwan. “I’m Grandpa’s deputy, so that’s not much different from a real grandson.”
“Blah, you shameless thing! Were you the one who told Grandpa I built the Fearless Alliance last time?” The girl fiercely glared at Si Xia.
“We might be sister and brother, but work is work, and there needs to be a line between public and private matters. Grandpa told me to investigate it, so what could I have done? Don’t blame me if you want someone to blame. Blame Grandpa,” Si Xia replied placidly.
The girl’s expression changed at once and she pointed at Si Xia. “Good lad, your wings are fully grown now, huh… Alright, just wait! If I don’t skin a layer from you, I’m your younger sister, and you’re my elder brother!”
“I was wrong,” Si Xia immediately replied.
“Quiet.” The elderly man swept his eyes over the girl and Si Xia.
The girl and boy instantly turned silent.
“Asura is brazen and audacious and is publicly resisting the Martial Arts Union. I need the Fearless Alliance to act as a spearhead and recruit more factions,” the elderly man said to Ye Wanwan.
“Asura?” The girl was startled. “That’s one of the three core factions of Prison, right?”
“Mn, that’s right. That’s what my intelligence says.” Si Xia nodded.
“Grandpa… Si Xia’s martial arts skills are good, so how about I pull some elites from the Fearless Alliance and have him lead the team? Si Xia is part of the intelligence department anyway, so he rarely shows his face and not many people in the Independent State know him,” Ye Wanwan suggested.
“No.” Si Xia nodded without any hesitation.
“No? What? You’ve learned how to resist now? I, your sister, want you to do something, and you can’t. What use are you?” Ye Wanwan yelled while pointing at Si Xia.
“Sister, that’s not what I meant,” Si Xia exasperatedly replied. “Actually… the leader of Asura is my ninth uncle… Although we haven’t met many times and don’t have much affection between us, he’s still my uncle, so I won’t partic.i.p.ate in the war between the Martial Arts Union and Asura.”
“Your uncle?”
The girl was stunned. “D*mn, that’s too explosive…”
“Worriless, what did Grandpa teach you? Look at you! Do you resemble a girl at all? You say d*mn every other word. Where’s your propriety?” The elderly man looked at the girl with displeasure.
“What about it? It’s not like you’ve raised me like a girl since I was young, Grandpa,” the girl reb.u.t.ted.
“You…” The elderly man wanted to say something but ended up forcibly stifling it.
“Alright, Grandpa, don’t be angry… I’ll lead the team alright. It’s just Asura—I’ll annihilate them for you, Grandpa!” The girl’s lips curled up into a bone-chilling smile.
“No, you can’t underestimate Asura’s power. Out of concern for your safety, you can’t lead the team. You just need to find a capable person to lead the team,” the elderly man refuted.
“Grandpa, no way! Everyone inside the Fearless Alliance is like my brother. Whether they’re old or young, male or female, dumb or clever… I treat them all the same, alright? You’re only worried about my safety, but my brothers’ lives are also lives,” the girl said.
“Brothers or not, I don’t care. I don’t care about whether other people live or die, but you have to restrain yourself. Your life is most precious. And it’s improper for a girl like you to keep hanging out with those people and calling them brothers! How will you get married in the future?!” the elderly man reprimanded her angrily.
