Huai’s tone sounded both cold and serious, prompting Wen Xin to pay more attention. It seemed like Wen Huai had discovered something in Ghost’s Domain.

“What’s the deal with Grandma’s identity? Is there something special about it?” Wen Xin asked in a calm and casual manner, as if she didn’t find the matter important, while sitting on the sofa.

On the other end of the line, Wen Huai, hearing Wen Xin’s indifferent tone, felt a bit confused. Given how much Wen Xin cared about their grandmother, he found it hard to believe she could remain so composed upon hearing this news.

“Sis, did you already know something?” Wen Huai couldn’t maintain his composure under Wen Xin’s nonchalant attitude. He felt a mix of confusion and frustration. freewёbnoνel.com

“Know what? That she has ties to the Ghost’s Domain? Or something else?” Wen Xin lounged lazily on the sofa, her fingers lightly tapping the armrest, looking nonchalant but seemingly deep in thought.

“You did know! So why did you stay with her all these years? Didn’t you realize how dangerous it was?” Wen Huai was shocked upon learning about Yang Jingyan’s identity and was deeply concerned for Wen Xin’s safety. How could she not be afraid?

“Dangerous? What place could be more dangerous than the Independent State? Yet I came out of there just fine. More importantly, Grandma never intended to harm me.”

“When I was eight, I accidentally saw someone coming to see her. She told me not to worry, that they would protect me and Tan Xingyue.”

“I don’t care about Grandma’s position in the Ghost’s Domain. What matters is that she took care of me. She’s the person I called Grandma, and nothing else seems as important.”

Wen Xin pressed her hand against her temple. She wasn’t sure if she was deceiving herself, but those so-called facts didn’t matter much to her. She didn’t want to know why Tan Mingyao stayed in the laboratory or why her grandmother took her away while leaving Tan Xingyue behind. She preferred to live in a state of ignorance to retain the bit of familial affection she cherished.

Though she matured early, back then, she was just a little girl who had witnessed her parents’ deaths. She still remembered the first time her grandmother held her, offering a sense of salvation that allowed her to survive.

For Wen Xin, that kindness outweighed any importance her grandmother’s identity might have. She didn’t care about their schemes because she knew her grandmother had no one else to rely on, just as she had no one but her grandparents when they took her in.

“Wen Huai, no matter what you find out, she’s already dead. There’s no need to speak of her with such anger. Just remember that she gave me a second chance at life and never meant to harm me.”

Wen Xin hoped Wen Huai would heed her words. He had a hard enough time in the Ghost’s Domain without adding unnecessary emotions, which would only make his struggle more difficult. She didn’t want to be a burden on him.

Listening to Wen Xin, Wen Huai’s turbulent emotions began to calm down. He recalled the time they spent at their grandmother’s house. Despite her identity, she indeed was a kind and loving old woman.

“Sis, there’s a unique virus in the Ghost’s Domain. Did you know about this?” Wen Huai’s urgency in calling Wen Xin was driven by his discovery of this virus. Knowing she had lived with Yang Jingyan for so long, he feared she might have contracted it.

Wen Xin chuckled softly, understanding why Wen Huai was so agitated. “I know about the virus, but I don’t have it. Tan Xingyue does. I’m not sure how she got infected, but I noticed anomalies in her blood samples during treatment.”

“I researched this virus extensively but found nothing. I did find the same virus in Grandma’s body, but she never told me its origins.”

“After discovering the Ghost’s Domain emblem among her belongings, I suspected the virus came from there and confirmed her and Tan Mingyao’s identities.”

“Wen Huai, taking down the Ghost’s Domain is a perilous challenge. Since you’ve chosen this path, my only wish is for you to stay safe. Nothing else matters.”

Wen Xin stood by the window, looking at the small garden in the villa, reminiscing about her happy times before she was five. Back then, her parents were alive, and she was a carefree little princess, watching Wen Huai grow from babbling in a cradle to taking his first steps.

Those were her happiest memories.

Wen Huai hadn’t expected Wen Xin to know everything. He replied quietly, “Sis, I was just worried about you.”

“No need to worry about me. The Ghost’s Domain’s forces are divided. Once you stabilize the main force, you’ll need to track down the scattered factions. They’re likely around the capital, though I’m not sure if they’ll leave after Grandma’s death.”

Wen Xin closed her eyes, feeling powerless against the Ghost’s Domain. She couldn’t find any connection between the Ghost’s Domain and the Independent State, which left her uncertain about the enemies she might face.

After some more cautious advice to Wen Huai, Wen Xin ended the call.

She sat on the windowsill, eyes closed, contemplating her next steps. She knew too little about the events of the past and had never wanted to get involved with the forces behind the Ghost’s Domain, but now, it seemed inevitable.

Wen Xin left her bedroom, heading to the study to access the internal network of Truth Listener. She started searching for information about Yang Jingyan, hoping to find some clues.

Her actions alerted the senior members of Truth Listener, especially Yan Qing, who immediately reached out to her.

“Doll, are you back in business? We’ve got a lot of orders related to the Independent State. Any interest?”

While waiting for the decryption program, Wen Xin picked up her phone and replied briefly, “What kind of orders?”

“Mostly about the Independent State. Ever since its security system was breached, many have gained benefits and realized its strength. They want to leverage your connections with the Independent State…”
