“No need,” Ye Wanwan said. Buy your a**! He’s already fled, so why do I still need alcohol?!

  “President?”


  The silver-haired man was surprised and furrowed his brows. “What kind of president… President of where?”


  “You wouldn’t know even if we told you! Have you heard of the Independent State? The Fearless Alliance? You must’ve not heard of President Fearless, right, country bumpkin?” A Fearless Alliance elite glanced at the silver-haired man.

  He was called “Dugu Qiubai” and then freaking “Invincible in the World”—what a true country bumpkin!

  “You guys leave first,” Ye Wanwan ordered the elites with a wave of her hands.

  Yes…”


  The elites nodded and left.

  After they left, Ye Wanwan pensively looked at the silver-haired man. Could he really be Worriless Nie’s master…? Unfortunately, she couldn’t draw up a single sliver of her memories.

  “Eh… That’s not right.”


  A strange emotion surfaced in the man’s eyes.

  “What’s not right?” Ye Wanwan asked inquisitively.

  “You’re actually the long-missing Bai Feng of the Fearless Alliance…?” The silver-haired man seemed to find this notion difficult to comprehend.

  Bai Feng is just the surface. My real identity is still Worriless Nie.

  Then it looks like I was mistaken. My disciple is Worriless, not Bai Feng,” the silver-haired man murmured.

  Only Ji Xiuran and few other people knew about Worriless Nie being Bro Flattop Bai Feng. Whether it was Si Yehan or this silver-haired man or the madam and patriarch of the Nie family, they were all clueless.

  “Are you saying your disciple is called Worriless Nie… Could she be from the Nie family of the Independent State…?” Ye Wanwan pried furtively.

  He looked at her. “That’s right. My disciple, Worriless Nie, has been missing for many years… I originally thought it was you, but I must’ve been mistaken from the looks of it.”


  Worriless Nie was Worriless Nie; Bro Flattop of the Fearless Alliance was Bro Flattop of the Fearless Alliance. They were two completely different people.

  “What evidence do you have to prove you’re Worriless Nie’s master?” Ye Wanwan asked after a moment of thought.

  No matter what, before she recovered her memories, she didn’t dare to rashly reunite with this silver-haired man if he didn’t have any direct evidence that proved he was Worriless Nie’s master, even if he saved her twice.

  Ever since she arrived in the Independent State, there had been too many foggy and confusing conspiracies around her, especially after she obtained this ring. There seemed to be a bigger conspiracy slowly surfacing, so she had to act more prudently and vigilantly from now on.

  “What do you mean evidence? My word is evidence,” the silver-haired man said.

  Then faster than Ye Wanwan could see, the silver-haired man took the ring off her finger.

  Ye Wanwan frowned at him but didn’t say anything.

  “Is this ring worth a lot?” The silver-haired man carefully studied the ring. “There’s nothing special about it though! There isn’t even a jewel on it, so what’s there to steal about this lousy thing?”


  “Return it to me if it’s invaluable then,” Ye Wanwan retorted cheerfully.

  “Here, here.” The silver-haired man returned the ring to her.

  Ye Wanwan probed curiously, “Eh, you really don’t know the purpose of this ring?”


  This silver-haired man definitely had an extraordinary identity, but even he didn’t know the purpose of this ring… “Bleh, waste of time.” The silver-haired man shook his head and turned to leave.

  “Hold on,Ye Wanwan called out “What if I said I was Worriless Nie…?”


  The silver-haired man stopped and sized Ye Wanwan up. “What are you saying? You’re Worriless Nie?”


  “Don’t I look like her?” Ye Wanwan retorted.

  “Not really right now.” The silver-haired man shook his head.

  Not really right now? So did I resemble Worriless more closely before? Or do I know how to change faces and switch appearances in the blink of an eye?

  “You say you’re Bai Feng of the Fearless Alliance one minute and Worriless Nie the next. Are you trying to trick me?” The silver-haired man glanced at her strangely.

  “I’m Worriless Nie…” Ye Wanwan said.

  “If you’re Worriless Nie, then who is Bai Feng?” The silver-haired man frowned.

  Tm also Bai Feng,” she answered.

  “If you’re Bai Feng… then what about Worriless Nie…? What mumbo-jumbo is this? My head is dizzy because of you.” The silver-haired man looked displeased.

  Isn’t it me who should be dizzy…?

  Ye Wanwan said, “Forget it if you don’t believe it.”


  “What evidence do you have to prove you’re my disciple, Worriless Nie?” The silver-haired man asked after a moment of silence.

  “Then what evidence do you have to prove you’re Worriless Nie’s master?” Ye Wanwan retorted.

  Without concrete evidence that proved this silver-haired man was Worriless Nie’s master, Ye Wanwan kept her reservations about him even if he did save her twice.

  “I don’t want to waste my time with you… Since you said you’re Worriless Nie, then let me ask you—why didn’t you recognize your own master? Do you have amnesia?”


  “You said you’re Worriless Nie’s master, so why didn’t you recognize your own disciple? Do you also have amnesia?”


  You, little miss, are rather silver-tongued. Fine, after you return to the Independent State, I’ll have my method of confirming whether you’re Worriless Nie or not.”


  After saying that, the silver-haired man turned and left without looking back, disappearing without a trace.

  Ye Wanwan was speechless. Wasn’t this too bizarre?

  If the silver-haired man didn’t know she was his disciple, Worriless Nie, why did he save her twice…? Or perhaps he merely couldn’t confirm it was her since she bore some similarities to Worriless Nie, as Nameless Nie once mentioned.

  Ye Wanwan was very curious about this silver-haired man’s identity. Could he really be my master…?

  Even if this silver-haired man didn’t recognize her despite being Worriless Nie’s master, she wouldn’t find it strange or odd. After all, even her own parents and brother didn’t recognize her.

  Speaking of which, she was probably raised by her maternal grandfather since she was young and rarely encountered people from the Nie family. Perhaps her grandfather prohibited her from seeing Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie entirely, as well as Nameless Nie. If things were like that, it’d be pardonable for the Nie family to not recognize her. However, her master’s inability to recognize her was a bit… dumb, no?

  Before Ye Wanwan could mull it over any longer, a car rapidly drove toward her and parked on the street.

  A second later, Big Dipper, Seven Star, and the others rushed out of the car.

  “Sis Feng, you got robbed?! Where is he? I’ll kill him!”


  Big Dipper was the first to reach Ye Wanwan and furiously looked around her.

  Ye Wanwan glanced at him. If she had waited for him, her corpse would’ve cooled already.

  “Are you alright, Sis Feng?” Seven Star asked as he inspected her.

  Ye Wanwan shook her head. “It’s nothing.”


  “How dare someone act as shameless as our Fearless Alliance and publicly rob someone in broad daylight with the sun bright above us? Are they trying to steal our business?!” Big Dipper exclaimed furiously.

  “Do you know the other person’s origin, President?” First Elder asked as he walked forward.

  When they followed Eleven to investigate the whereabouts of the Fearless Alliance members imprisoned by Si Bayi, they received a call saying the President was ambushed and their Fearless Alliance elites weren’t a match, so the other person probably came from the Independent State.

  The Independent State probably,” Ye Wanwan replied.

  Third Elder frowned in contemplation and said after a moment, “Could it be someone from the Lawless Gang, President…?”


  They just tricked the Lawless Gang’s leader, Si Bayi, into the police station, so it would be reasonable for the Lawless Gang to retaliate.

  “I don’t think so.” Ye Wanwan shook her head.

  With the Lawless Gang’s current state, an expert like that wouldn’t fit in there. Moreover, that person’s intentions were very obvious. He didn’t come for her life; he came for her ring. So he probably wasn’t connected to the Lawless Gang.

  “Strange… Our elites said that person wanted to steal your ring, President…” First Elder said to her.

  “That’s right.” Ye Wanwan admitted it frankly.

  “President, what kind of ring is it? Would it be alright to let me take a look?” First Elder asked.

  Ye Wanwan didn’t consider it for long since she didn’t need to stay on guard against First Elder and the others.

  Ye Wanwan immediately pulled her ring off and handed it to First Elder.

  Seven Star, Big Dipper, and Third Elder quickly surrounded it as well.

  The ring in First Elder’s hand was simple and dull, forged from some unknown material. A closer examination revealed a stalk of weed inside the ring, but this ring couldn’t look any more ordinary.

  “Are you done yet? Let me see.” Third Elder glanced at First Elder.

  First Elder handed the ring to him.

  Third Elder studied it for a moment but couldn’t uncover anything.

  “Third Elder, come come come, let me see the ring too.” Big Dipper hastily extended his hand toward him.

  Third Elder merely glanced at him but ignored him and directly returned the ring to Ye Wanwan.

  “President, this ring has some years on it, and the material is a bit unusual… So it should be rather valuable…” Third Elder said after some thought.

  “Valuable…? How much is it worth then?” Ye Wanwan asked reflexively.

  “That’s hard to say…” Third Elder shook his head. He wasn’t a ring seller, so how would he know how much it was worth?

  “Um, aside from being valuable, what other use does it have?” Ye Wanwan asked.

  “Other use…? Well, it’s valuable…? Aside from being valuable, I can’t see any other purpose.” Third Elder was dumbfounded. Could this ring have another purpose?

  Ye Wanwan immediately turned to First Elder.

  Everyone knew that the most knowledgeable and experienced person in the Fearless Alliance was First Elder, so perhaps he knew other purposes for this ring.

  “President, I also don’t know any other special quality of this ring. If no one came to steal it, I would’ve thought this ring was a mere accessory… But if it’s just an accessory, why would it cause an expert from the Independent State to come and steal it? No matter how valuable it is, no one should dare to steal from our Fearless Alliance… Unless it’s unrelated to money and holds some other special meaning,” First Elder said after some thought.

  Ye Wanwan naturally realized there was another use for this ring, but the actual use was the important part. If they couldn’t figure it out, keeping it on her would be risky.

  Of course, this risk only applied to China. She didn’t believe that anyone would dare to steal from her after she returned to the Independent State!

  “President, after we return to the Independent State, I’ll have someone look into this matter thoroughly. If we discover the culprit, we’ll make them suffer a fate worse than death and eradicate their whole clan.” Third Elder’s eyes coldly glinted.

  It had always been their Fearless Alliance who stole from other people. This was the first time someone tried to steal from them… Moreover, the victim of the robbery was the President of the Fearless Alliance. If news of this got out, it would humiliate the Fearless Alliance worse than calling the police to catch Si Wutian!

  Ye Wanwan didn’t care too much though since the ring was still in her possession and didn’t get stolen by the slim man. She also didn’t have much hope for discovering his identity.

  Since the slim man knew her identity but still brazenly came to steal the ring, it meant two things:

  First, the slim man made preparations ahead of time, and the Fearless Alliance wouldn’t discover him even if the Fearless Alliance conducted an investigation to their full abilities.

  Second, the power behind the slim man wasn’t inferior to the Fearless Alliance, and he wasn’t afraid of the Fearless Alliance seeking retribution from him. Their hands would be tied even if Third Elder discovered anything.

  To Ye Wanwan, it didn’t matter whether they investigated it or not.

  Before Ye Wanwan could speak, her phone started ringing.

  The caller ID showed “Most Beloved Darling.”


  This was Ye Wanwan’s nickname for Si Yehan’s phone number.

  Big Dipper caught a glimpse of the caller ID on Ye Wanwan’s screen, and his eyes shot open and glowed brightly.

  “D*mn! Most Beloved Darling? Who did you give such a sickening nickname to, Sis Feng? Who, who?”


  Seven Star looked at Ye Wanwan with a furrow of his brows.

  Ye Wanwan herself was surprised when she saw the caller ID.

  This number hadn’t lit up her phone for a long time.

  After a moment’s pause, Ye Wanwan sardonically picked up her phone, “Hello, my dear?”


  He especially used this Chinese number to hint at her that he wasn’t in the Independent State, right? What great effort he went through.

  Big Dipper shivered and muttered to Seven Star, “Sh*t, Sis Feng’s dainty voice is giving me goosebumps!”


  “Where are you?” Si Yehan’s cool and low voice was heard from the other end.

  “Me? I’m in Imperial City, of course! What’s up?” Ye Wanwan replied matter-of-factly as she blinked.

  The voice warmed a few degrees. “Nothing. Don’t run around wildly.”


  “I got it! You told me many times already! Look at how well-behaved I am—do I look like a disobedient person? Don’t worry, I’ll stay in the country and won’t run around wildly!” Ye Wanwan vehemently promised.

  Seven Star frowned when he overheard this.

  Big Dipper quietly exclaimed, “D*mn! What’s going on with Sis Feng? Didn’t we decide to leave? Why did she change her mind the second she got a call from a stray cat outside? Isn’t this too… unscrupulous?!”


  Big Dipper was frightened by Ye Wanwan’s fickle attitude.

  Seven Star still remembered the love gu in Sis Feng, and they had to go back and think of a cure as soon as possible, so they definitely couldn’t stay in China for long.

  Now, she wanted to stay in China for a man? Wasn’t she risking her life trivially?

  On the other end of the call, Si Yehan refrained from commenting on her words but decided that Ye Wanwan wasn’t lying after some thought.

  After all, he managed to mollify her that other day, so there was no reason for her to return to the Independent State. Si Yehan’s worries were eased temporarily, and he said, “Wait for me to come back.”


  “Yes yes, I know. I’ll be good and wait for you at home. Hurry and come back, okay?” Ye Wanwan’s voice was especially soft and agreeable as she promised.

  Seven Star’s expression darkened with every word she spoke, and he wanted to interrupt several times but resisted.

  After being lovey-dovey for a while more, Ye Wanwan finally hung up and promptly turned to look at Seven Star. “Did you book the plane tickets yet?”


  “What?” Seven Star was startled and swallowed the words he wanted to say.

  Ye Wanwan pursed her lips. “I’m talking about the plane tickets back to the Independent State tomorrow!”


  Seven Star reflexively nodded. “I booked them.”


  “Great! We’ll depart tomorrow then!” Ye Wanwan replied.

  Seven Star asked in a daze, “Didn’t you just say… you were staying in China… Sis Feng?”


  Ye Wanwan raised her brows and glanced at her phone. “You believe the words people say when they’re pacifying someone?”


  Seven Star: “…”


  Big Dipper: “…”


  Sis Feng’s lip service was truly too slippery!

  If it weren’t for her typical hoes over bros character, why would they worry? Who knew she’d resist beauty so staunchly this time?

  Big Dipper whispered in Seven Star’s ears. “I know! It’s not because Sis Feng changed her nature; it’s because the Independent State has more beautiful men…”


  Seven Star:

  Ye Wanwan rolled her eyes at Big Dipper. “What are you muttering about? What are you saying this time?”


  Big Dipper hastily waved his hand. “Nothing, nothing. Oh right, Sis Feng, I just wanted to ask… Are… are you really married to that patriarch of the Si family?”


  The president’s marriage was very significant, after all!

  Ye Wanwan cast her eyes down in silence for a moment before turning to look at the distant night. She aloofly replied, “Who knows?”


  “Eh… what?” Big Dipper asked.

  What does this mean…?

  Doesn’t Sis Feng know whether she’s married or not?

  Big Dipper and Seven Star looked at each other with clear exasperation in their eyes.

  Ye Wanwan didn’t say anything more and entered the car, ordering Big Dipper to drive toward the Age of Immortals.

  At the same time, at some location in Imperial City:

  The silver-haired man sat in a mini-van with a deep frown on his face, as though he was thinking about something.

  “I didn’t expect it to be that ring…” the silver-haired man murmured, surprise and worry surfacing on his face.

  “Impossible… That ring should’ve been utterly destroyed after that incident in the Independent State, so why…” Unease grappled his mind.

  Before Worriless Nie went missing, he clearly told her that the ring absolutely shouldn’t exist and had to be destroyed! And his disciple, Worriless Nie, destroyed the ring in front of him…


  So why… why did that ring still exist?! And why was it in Worriless Nie’s possession…?

  “Master, did you find Little Junior Sister?”


  A woman with seductive looks entered the van and asked the silver-haired man.

  The silver-haired man nodded. “I did…”


  “Little Junior Sister is seriously… We just discovered she went back to the Independent State and wanted to go there to find her, but now, she came running back to China. She’s really wild.” The alluring woman chuckled lightly. “So where’s Junior Sister, Master?”


  Your junior sister lost her memory… I didn’t acknowledge her,” the silver-haired man replied.

  “Eh?” The alluring woman’s expression turned strange, and she couldn’t understand. “Why didn’t you acknowledge Little Junior Sister, Master?”


  “Now isn’t the time.” The silver-haired man shook his head. “When your little junior sister went to the Independent State, she was clearly in an amnesiac state, but for some reason, she still managed to become President Fearless.”


  “Heh…”


  The alluring woman chuckled. “Do you need to ask, Master? There aren’t many people in the entire Independent State who know Little Junior Sister Worriless Nie is Bai Feng, but Emperor Ji does… Emperor Ji must’ve recognized Little Junior Sister, so it’d be easy for him to help Little Junior Sister recover her identity. After all, the Nie family currently has a fake Worriless Nie, but helping Little Junior Sister recover her status as President Fearless should be a piece of cake… Moreover, you know how Little Junior Sister gets when she’s drunk… I can guarantee that Little Junior Sister must’ve gotten drunk at least once in the Fearless Alliance…”


  The silver-haired man also laughed, a wave of memories washing over him.

  That was true. Once his little disciple was drunk, the torrential power inside of her couldn’t be stopped even in an amnesiac state.

  “However, Worriless currently doesn’t have her memories, so how do you know she acted the way she used to after consuming alcohol?” The silver-haired man looked at the alluring woman.

  The woman smiled. “I saw Emperor Ji once, and he told me the whole story.”


  “I see.” The man was pensive. Everything made sense then.

  If it weren’t for Worriless Nie drinking and exposing her nature, it would’ve been impossible to make the Fearless Alliance completely believe she was Bai Feng. Those elders of the Fearless Alliance especially; each one was more astute than the next. It was impossible to fool them.

  “Master, let’s reunite with Little Junior Sister. I miss her to death!” she suggested impatiently.

  However, the silver-haired man shook his head.

  It would be better for Worriless Nie to recover her memories on her own… Moreover, if they did reunite, how should he explain to her what happened before she lost her memory…


  That would truly be too cruel for Worriless Nie. It might even be worse than death…


  If Worriless Nie was unable to accept it or… unwilling to remember it, it would be her internal demon forever. “Master… Your worries are… But that matter…” the alluring woman questioned hesitantly.

  “That’s right.” The silver-haired man sighed softly. “If we reunited, I would tell her everything, but it isn’t the time now obviously.”


  The alluring woman was silent for a moment before sighing as well. “I know that… Little Junior Sister blames herself, but that matter… isn’t her fault… She didn’t do it on purpose…”


  She still vaguely recalled Worriless Nie’s tortured state when Worriless Nie video-called Master and her many years ago.

  It wasn’t that Worriless Nie was too weak. In fact, Worriless Nie was strong enough, but anyone who encountered that same situation—regardless of their gender—probably wouldn’t have had the courage to continue living in this world.

  In the end, Worriless Nie was hunted down. When she and Master arrived, they faintly saw a man taking Worriless Nie away from the Independent State.

  But they weren’t able to see that man’s appearance clearly.

  Later, the silver-haired man caught wind of some news, so he came to China in search of Worriless Nie’s whereabouts.

  To the seductive woman, Master was probably unwilling to reunite with Little Junior Sister because he pampered Little Junior Sister too much.

  If Little Junior Sister kept hounding Master, he probably couldn’t withstand it and would spill everything…


  Once Little Junior Sister learned the truth…


  The consequences would be inconceivable.

  “Master, should we leave the Little Junior Sister alone without any care then…?” The woman looked at him in incomprehension.

  They finally managed to confirm Little Junior Sister’s identity after all the trouble and found her. Shouldn’t they reunite with her…?

  The silver-haired man stayed silent for a moment before looking at her. “What’s there to worry about? Your Little Junior Sister couldn’t be any freer! As the President of the Fearless Alliance, she has a bunch of experts around her protecting her.”


  The seductive woman carefully thought about it and realized that was the truth.

  “Then… Master, when can we reunite with Little Junior Sister?”


  “Let’s wait until Worriless recovers her memory on her own.” The silver-haired man sighed.

  At the same time, as Big Dipper drove, he kept peering at Ye Wanwan in the back. “Hey, Sis Feng… Just how much is your ring worth…?”


  “Drive properly. Stop looking at me.” Ye Wanwan glanced at him.

  “Okay.” Big Dipper had no choice but to focus on driving and didn’t dare to look behind him again.

  “Have you found the Fearless Alliance members abducted by Si Bayi?” Ye Wanwan asked as she turned to the others. Seven Star nodded expressionlessly. “Yes, we found them.”


  “Sis Feng, we had a total of 20 something members abducted by the Lawless Gang, but only 11 people remained. Ay…


  But we called the police and got Si Bayi and a dozen or so Lawless Gang members captured, so we didn’t lose anything and got our revenge,” Big Dipper hastily interjected.

  Third Elder, in the front passenger seat, glanced at Big Dipper. Can he freaking stop mentioning how we called the police?!

  “Say, Sis Feng… Isn’t it a bit too… humiliating… how we called the police to capture Si Bayi in China? If word got back to the Independent State and other factions learned we called the police… where would our pride go?” Big Dipper asked.

  Third Elder:

  Ye Wanwan glanced at Big Dipper. “What’s humiliating about that? It was Si Bayi acting shameless first by using firearms, and we called the police second. It’s not like we called the police while everyone was fighting with their bare hands.”


  “Eh… that’s the principle, but… the prohibited usage of firearms is only the Independent State’s rules. Members of the Independent State aren’t as restricted in other countries,” Big Dipper refuted.

  “That’s right. As you said, there aren’t as many rules in China, so why should we abide by the Independent State’s rules still…? We’re in China, a country with a proper legal system,” Ye Wanwan retorted.

  Third Elder: “Thinking about it like that, that does seem to be the case.”


  Seven Star agreed. “Yes…”


  Big Dipper also added, “True… I’m convinced.”


  Ye Wanwan swept her eyes over the other four. When they were in the Independent State, they didn’t find anything humiliating but they had so many concerns after coming to China. How surprising.

  With Ye Wanwan’s directions, Big Dipper soon parked the car in front of the Age of Immortals.

  “Director Ye!!!”
