Chapter 2240: True objective


    Ye Wanwan intently stared at Nameless Nie. After a long silence, she finally spoke. "In truth, Ji Xiuran''s


    hypnotism on you lost its effect a long time ago, right?"


    Nameless Nie nodded. "Although the hypnotism was impressive, it didn''tst too long in reality. It only


    "So when you came to find me in China, you weren''t hypnotized anymore," Ye Wanwan proposed


    pensively.


    Nameless Nie smiled. "That''s right. But when I first met you in China, I merely thought you looked like


    Worriless and really didn''t recognize you."


    "Then... just what did youe to China to find?" Ye Wanwan asked.


    "I just wanted to find you; there weren''t that many reasons. And also to find the ring, of course,"


    Nameless Nie replied truthfully.


    Ye Wanwan didn''t rebut him. The ring Nameless Nie was wearing might''ve been crafted by him and


    waspletely unrted to the Rose of Death. It held enormous meaning to Nameless Nie.


    This ring represented his rtionship with Ling Miao.


    Ye Wanwan believed that Nameless Nie absolutely wouldn''t agree if she tried to use her ring to trade

    for his ring.


    "Then... why did you make the Direct Line steal the other ring?" Ye Wanwan asked him.


    "Very simple." Nameless Nie smiled faintly. "If I possessed that ring... I would be able to mobilize a lot


    of power and destroying the Independent State would be a piece of cake."


    "But why did you give up in the end?" Ye Wanwanunched another question.


    Nameless Nie sank into contemtion.


    "What else could I do?" A whileter, Nameless Nie shook his head. "You would rather die than hand it


    over. Should I have really killed you for that ring?"


    "I see..." Ye Wanwan nodded lightly.


    Everything was very clear now.


    Back then, after Ling Miao died, Nameless Nie sank into madness, wanted to avenge Ling Miao and


    annihte every faction that participated in Ling Miao''s encirclement.


    But these factions epassed nearly all of the Independent State.


    Nameless Nie originally sought out Ji Xiuran so that Ji Xiuran could lend him a hand, but Ji Xiuran


    didn''t have the heart to do it and was unwilling to watch Nameless Nie be in such agony, so he used


    hypnosis to make Nameless Nie forget about that memory segment. Furthermore, Ji Xiuran changed


    Nameless Nie''s personality into a businessman who worshiped money like his life and only liked to


    earn money.


    This way, Nameless Nie would be running around every day and busy with earning money, never


    getting tired of it. This should be considered a fortunate oue for Nameless Nie.


    However, what Ji Xiuran didn''t expect was that Nameless Nie''s willpower was truly too formidable and


    Ji Xiuran''s hypnotism lost its effect in a mere half a year.


    From the moment Nameless Nie recalled everything, he used his disguise as the ck-robed person to


    be the Direct Line''s military counselor and helped Direct Line regain control over the Independent


    State.


    The truth of the matter was now clear at a nce.


    The Direct Line also participated in Ling Miao''s encirclement back then.


    The reason Nameless Nie was willing to help the Direct Line was so that he could trigger the war


    between the Direct Line and the Coteral Branch as soon as possible.


    Nameless Nie was well aware that once the war between the Direct Line and the Coteral Branch


    began, all the factions in the Independent State wouldn''t be able to stay out of it and all had to


    participate.


    As for Nameless Nie''s true objective, it was to make the Direct Line and the Coteral Branch eradicate


    each other and perish together, including all the factions who supported the Direct Line and the


    Coteral Branch.


    As she thought up to this point, ayer of sweat nketed Ye Wanwan''s forehead.
