Si Xia looked at Ye Wanwan meaningfully an inscrutable and unsettling smile hanging from his lips.
“Why did I hunt after you…? Do you need to hear that from me?” Si Xia asked with a smile.
Before Ye Wanwan could answer, Si Xia continued, “However, I can clear up other matters for you.”
“Other matters…?” Ye Wanwan frowned faintly.
Si Xia closed his eyes, the past surfacing in his mind.
When he was young, the personality of his father, Si Bayi, changed drastically because he was expelled from the Independent State.
Later, Si Bayi returned to China’s Si family to accumulate power in waiting.
Si Xia was born in China and grew up in China’s Si family and originally didn’t have that many complications in his life. This world appeared rather wonderful at first.
However, Si Bayi treated him more and more strictly, more and more harshly, and trained him inhumanely nearly every day.
He once asked Si Bayi why, and Si Bayi’s answer was that Si Xia was his only hope for returning to the Independent State and the ancient Si clan.
Finally, Si Xia learned about the Independent State and the world beyond his world.
However, at that time, he didn’t want to go to the Independent State or become anyone’s hope. His biggest wish was for less training and to have a small world of his own like his peers.
However, all of that was an extravagant wish.
He vaguely recalled the year his father brought him to the Independent State—this place that held some similarities to China but was also a different, foreign land.
He still remembered how Si Bayi brought him to the ancient Si clan with a heart full of hope, telling the ancient Si clan that his son was a genius and hoped the ancient Si clan would forget about the past and allow him to return to the ancient Si clan since he brought a genius back.
After that, the ancient Si clan conducted all sorts of tests on Si Xia.
Intelligence, martial arts talent, etc, etc.
But Si Xia bore resentments against his father, Si Bayi, and intentionally didn’t cooperate in every manner possible.
As a result, the test results ended with Si Xia not reaching the standards for both intelligence and martial arts talent. The ancient Si clan expelled Si Bayi from the clan again.
It was autumn at that time, and the Independent State was covered in snow already. In his raging fury, Si Bayi tossed Si Bayi to some mountain, allowing him to perish on his own.

As Ye Wanwan listened to Si Xia’s narration, she finally understood why she ran into Si Xia in the mountains back then. It was a coincidence that led to Grandpa rescuing Si Xia.
“Si Xia… you’re truly an ingrate.”
Ye Wanwan snorted at Si Xia. “Back then, on that mountain, Grandpa and I rescued you from the fangs of a wolf. Not only did you not pay us back, but you did this kind of thing.”
Si Xia’s gaze landed on Ye Wanwan, and he chuckled lightly. “One second. I’m not done telling my story yet.”
…
It wasn’t until later that Si Xia learned the elderly man who rescued him was the President of the Martial Arts Union and that young girl was the President’s granddaughter.
Every day, he followed the elderly man. The elderly man treated him extremely strictly but it was different from the strictness of his father, Si Bayi’. He could feel the warmth from this type of strictness.
At some point in time, he started considering the President of the Martial Arts Union as his real grandfather and that girl as his real elder sister.
He once swore that he absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to harm them, regardless of who it was! No one!
