During this period of time, the Independent State was oddly peaceful, and nothing major happened with both the Nie family and the Fearless Alliance.
Ye Wanwan dispatched a lot of manpower from the Nie family and the Fearless Alliance to look into Madam Nie and Patriarch Nie's whereabouts while Asura continued to investigate the island they previously discovered.
The only noteworthy finding was that Dead Man quietly left at some unknown point after Nameless Nie left, disappearing from Ye Wanwan's sight, so Taoist Devotee, Spray of Flowers, and Brick-moving Foreigner had been searching for Dead Man's whereabouts.
Ye Wanwan felt a trace of confusion regarding Dead Man's departure, not knowing what he was up to. Could it be… he was cultivating in seclusion to foster a gu insect that could raise a person from the dead?
Of course, that was merely a fleeting thought, and Ye Wanwan didn't think into it more deeply unrealistically.
