Chapter 2252 - The truth

“Grandpa, what in the world happened…? Weren’t you… weren’t you killed by Worriless Nie?!”

Si Xia’s face brimmed with disbelief when faced with the newly-arrived elderly man.

“Killed by Worriless…?”

Patriarch and Madam Nie’s expressions shifted. How could that be possible? Father clearly just went missing for a long time, so how was he killed by Worriless…

“Dad, what’s happening?!” Madam Nie questioned anxiously.

The elderly man glanced at Iceberg Man behind him and said, “Jingmu, you tell them.”

Iceberg man: “?”

The elderly man’s expression turned awkward. “Forget it, I’ll tell them.”

“Back then, Worriless and I had an argument, so we were going to resolve it through a spar. If Worriless won, I would listen to her, but if I won, she’d listen to me.” The elderly man gathered his thoughts and continued: “However, during my spar with Worriless, due to various reasons, she accidentally injured me.”

The elderly man’s gaze inadvertently landed on Nameless Nie.

“After I was injured, a black-robed man barged in and wanted to take my life. However, he spared me at the last minute and merely injured me fatally.” The elderly man sighed.

“Dad, who did it?!” Madam Nie quickly asked.

Ye Wanwan silently looked at Nameless Nie. That black-robed man… was probably this brother of hers, wasn’t it…

However, in the end, he couldn’t bear to attack fatally.

“It was me.”

Nameless Nie answered before the elderly man could respond.

“What?!”

Patriarch and Madam Nie were startled and turned to Nameless Nie in astonishment.

“It wasn’t Worriless Nie? It was Nameless Nie…? How is that possible…”

Si Xia furrowed his brows deeply, stuck in disbelief.

Back then, Grandpa went missing, leaving behind splatters of blood and evidence of a fight. After pulling up the surveillance, he discovered Worriless Nie stabbed Grandpa with a dagger…

After that, Si Xia investigated Ye Wanwan’s whereabouts and returned to China, only to discover Ye Wanwan had chosen to mask her memories since she couldn’t endure the torment of her memories.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hence, Si Xia always thought it was Ye Wanwan who killed Grandpa and never expected the culprit to be Nameless Nie!

“How could… how could you try to murder your Grandpa?!” Madam Nie demanded grievously.

“He killed Ling Miao,” Nameless Nie finally answered after a moment of silence.

Even so, Nameless Nie still didn’t kill Grandpa and merely left after seriously injuring him.

“Nameless, Grandpa had no other choice.” The elderly man closed his eyes and solemnly said, “The Arbitration Council placed an invioable order. If I didn’t do as they said, the consequences would’ve been very serious. Plus, I didn’t kill Ling Miao and brought her back to the Martial Arts Union instead. She’s been under treatment all along.”

Back then, Grandpa didn’t have the courage to resist the Arbitration Council yet. It wasn’t until Ye Wanwan inherited Ling Miao’s ring and the Arbitration Council planned to harm Ye Wanwan that Grandpa truly made his decision and planned to overthrow the Arbitration Council, seal off the Twelve Independent States, and crown himself as the king.

…

“I know. You saved Ling Miao,” Nameless Nie said.

Si Xia mentioned it earlier.

“Then Grandpa, what was the reason behind your disappearance? Also… if you didn’t die, why didn’t you appear this whole time?!” Si Xia hastily asked the elderly man.
