2240 True objective
Ye Wanwan intently stared at Naless Nie. After a long silence, she finally spoke. “In truth, Ji Xiuran’s hypnotism on you lost its effect a long ti ago, right?”
Naless Nie nodded. “Although the hypnotism was impressive, it didn’t last too long in reality. It only lasted half a year.”
“So when you ca to find in China, you weren’t hypnotized anymore,” Ye Wanwan proposed pensively.
Naless Nie smiled. “That’s right. But when I first t you in China, I rely thought you looked like Worriless and really didn’t recognize you.”
“Then… just what did you co to China to find?” Ye Wanwan asked.
“I just wanted to find you; there weren’t that many reasons. And also to find the ring, of course,” Naless Nie replied truthfully.
Ye Wanwan didn’t rebut him. The ring Naless Nie was wearing might’ve been crafted by him and was completely unrelated to the Rose of Death. It held enormous aning to Naless Nie.
This ring represented his relationship with Ling Miao.
Ye Wanwan believed that Naless Nie absolutely wouldn’t agree if she tried to use her ring to trade for his ring.
“Then… why did you make the Direct Line steal the other ring?” Ye Wanwan asked him.
“Very simple.” Naless Nie smiled faintly. “If I possessed that ring… I would be able to mobilize a lot of power and destroying the Independent State would be a piece of cake.”
“But why did you give up in the end?” Ye Wanwan launched another question.
Naless Nie sank into contemplation.
“What else could I do?” A while later, Naless Nie shook his head. “You would rather die than hand it over. Should I have really killed you for that ring?”
“I see…” Ye Wanwan nodded lightly.
Everything was very clear now.
Back then, after Ling Miao died, Naless Nie sank into madness, wanted to avenge Ling Miao and annihilate every faction that participated in Ling Miao’s encirclent.
But these factions encompassed nearly all of the Independent State.
Naless Nie originally sought out Ji Xiuran so that Ji Xiuran could lend him a hand, but Ji Xiuran didn’t have the heart to do it and was unwilling to watch Naless Nie be in such agony, so he used hypnosis to make Naless Nie forget about that mory segnt. Furthermore, Ji Xiuran changed Naless Nie’s personality into a businessman who worshiped money like his life and only liked to earn money.
This way, Naless Nie would be running around every day and busy with earning money, never getting tired of it. This should be considered a fortunate outco for Naless Nie.
However, what Ji Xiuran didn’t expect was that Naless Nie’s willpower was truly too formidable and Ji Xiuran’s hypnotism lost its effect in a re half a year.
From the mont Naless Nie recalled everything, he used his disguise as the black-robed person to beco the Direct Line’s military counselor and helped Direct Line regain control over the Independent State.
The truth of the matter was now clear at a glance.
The Direct Line also participated in Ling Miao’s encirclent back then.
The reason Naless Nie was willing to help the Direct Line was so that he could trigger the war between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch as soon as possible.
Naless Nie was well aware that once the war between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch began, all the factions in the Independent State wouldn’t be able to stay out of it and all had to participate.
As for Naless Nie’s true objective, it was to make the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch eradicate each other and perish together, including all the factions who supported the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch.
As she thought up to this point, a layer of sweat blanketed Ye Wanwan’s forehead.
