Everyone in the Independent State knew there was a gargantuan difference between a personal disciple and an outer disciple.
There was only one personal disciple and maybe two or three other disciples at most who would be imparted with every technique. On the other hand, there could be thousands of outer disciples and the majority were taught by other older disciples, and many of those outer disciples wouldn’t even come into contact with their master.
For someone of Yi Lingjun’s prestige, it was honorable enough even if you possessed the title of his outer disciple, let alone the fact that Ye Wanwan was Yi Lingjun’s sole personal disciple.
Instantly, everyone’s gaze toward Worriless Nie changed.
In conjunction, everyone looked at Si Yehan with a face full of admiration.
They previously assumed Si Yehan was as blind as a bat, but it now appeared that he was the true winner in life!
Amongst everyone present, the person who felt the worst was likely none other than Yin Heng.
Yin Heng dazedly lay on the ground, his eyes incredulous as he stared at Si Yehan. After learning about Ye Wanwan’s identity, the envy and hatred he felt toward Si Yehan agonized him more than the physical pain he felt.
Why?! Why couldn’t he match up to Si Yehan in any area in his life?!
He wouldn’t accept it!
How could he possibly accept it?!
After Qin Zong was taken away for his punishment, Lin Que reminded everyone: “Hey, what should we do with this guy?”
On this matter, Yi Lingjun had to side with Ye Wanwan no matter what. Hence, he austerely turned to Yin Heng and said, “Yin Heng, regardless of your grievances, you shouldn’t have dragged innocent people into it, let alone a child. You should release Tangtang.”
A chilly smile crept onto Yin Heng’s dumbfounded face. “Hah… ha ha… What if I won’t?”
Ye Wanwan clenched her fists instantly and was about to say something when Yi Lingjun stopped her and ordered, “Bring him back! We’ll find ways to make him speak.”
“Yes!” The guards answered and made to seize Yin Heng.
However, before the guards could do anything, a voice was heard behind everyone.
“Hold on!”
Everyone automatically turned around and saw a black-dressed Yin Yuerong returning from her trip with several servants in tow.
When Yi Lingjun saw Yin Yuerong returning, he furrowed his brows. He knew the issue was about to become tricky.
However, Yi Lingjun didn’t reveal anything in his expression and calmly greeted her: “Director Yin is back.”
As soon as Yin Heng saw Yin Yuerong, hope surfaced in his numb and dark expression, and his eyes brightened. “Mother! Mother, save me!”
Yin Yuerong haughtily glanced at her adopted son lying on the ground without a ripple of emotions in her eyes. Her gaze then flitted over Si Yehan and Ye Wanwan before settling on Yi Lingjun. She aloofly asked, “President, I have gained a general understanding of the matter, but may I ask what wrong Ah-Heng committed that’s causing President Yi to personally take him away?”
Yi Lingjun frowned minutely before replying, “Since you’ve heard what happened, Director Yin, you should also know that Yin Heng abducted Worriless’ son.”
Yin Yuerong smiled and said composedly, “President, have you mistaken something? Worriless Nie’s son is also my, Yin Yuerong’s, grandson. I merely sent Ah-Heng to bring my grandson here and reunite him with me, his grandmother. How can it be considered abduction?”
Yi Lingjun’s expression darkened a tinge.
Although Yin Yuerong was absolutely making excuses, there wasn’t a single flaw they could pick apart. Even Ye Wanwan and Si Yehan couldn’t refute their relationship.
