Chapter 2196: Private enmity Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations “Mn.” Yi Shuihan nodded. Ye Wanwan was brimming with curiosity about what that girl was like… Moreover, right now, that girl didn’t appear to be by Yi Shuihan’s side anymore. That girl later moved into Yi Shuihan’s home and lived with Yi Shuihan and his mother. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦 For a whole half a year. Until one day, Yi Shuihan went out. When he returned home, he saw his mother dead on the dining table, lethally poisoned, and the girl was lifelessly sitting on a stool. Under Yi Shuihan’s intense interrogation, the girl finally spoke the truth. In truth, she had poisoned the food already, and this lethal poison was originally reserved for Yi Shuihan. However, at the last moment, the girl hesitated and intended to throw away the poisoned dishes. Unfortunately… Yi Shuihan’s mother coincidentally consumed the poisoned food and died. Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but shiver after hearing that. After carefully thinking about it, every time Yi Shuihan ate a meal, he needed to carefully examine the food, as though he was afraid of it being poisoned… It turned out it was this incident that left behind an indelible shadow in Yi Shuihan’s heart. “What happened to that girl?” Ye Wanwan stared at Yi Shuihan, wanting to know the ending. “I killed her,” Yi Shuihan replied aloofly. Ye Wanwan sank into contemplation. It’d be better if… she listened to these types of stories less often. On second thought, Ye Wanwan realized something was amiss. What did this have to do with Yi Shuihan antagonizing the Collateral Branch? Could it be that girl was a member of the Collateral Branch? Later, Ye Wanwan learned that the girl really was a member of the Collateral Branch. Back then, the Collateral Branch found out about Yi Shuihan and knew Yi Shuihan’s mother belonged to the Direct Line. The Collateral Branch was worried Yi Shuihan would join the Direct Line’s camp, so they picked a well-trained assassin from their elites, and that girl was the chosen assassin. Ye Wanwan was rendered speechless by Yi Shuihan’s recount. Wasn’t this too melodramatic…? “So don’t you think those ancient clans… all deserve to die?” Yi Shuihan asked as he looked at her. Ye Wanwan shook her head, dumbfounded. “Not necessarily…” “Not necessarily?” Yi Shuihan frowned lightly. “Hard to say…” Ye Wanwan rubbed her chin. “Really can’t say…” Ye Wanwan sighed. How should she say this… Although the Collateral Branch really was terrible based on Yi Shuihan’s narration and those ancient clans did deserve the hate… But… Ye Wanwan realized a fact… Her man, Si Yehan, was also a freaking member of the ancient clans! So how should she respond? Should she tell Yi Shuihan, “The Collateral Branch deserves to die, and I’ll support you in your quest to eliminate those ancient clans”? Wasn’t that a joke?! In her mind, Ye Wanwan did disdain the ancient clan’s methods, but she couldn’t vocalize anything. She really couldn’t find a single refutable reason regarding his desire to destroy those ancient clans. Forget about Yi Shuihan. If Ye Wanwan was in his shoes, she would’ve probably done the exact same thing Yi Shuihan did. “Aside from visiting Tangtang, I came here today to remind you: Don’t carelessly interfere in the business between the Collateral Branch and the Direct Line,” Yi Shuihan advised. “You’re definitely going to take action, right?” Ye Wanwan asked with a frown. “The battle between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch is unrelated to me. I merely have private grievances against those ancient clans,” Yi Shuihan replied indifferently.
