Ling Shichang looked at Ye Wanwan and asked.

"Sir...my brother recently took on a mission and hasn't come back yet." Ye Wanwan forced a smile.

Nameless Nie's affairs were not disclosed to the outside world. The Nie family blocked the information immediately, and even the Ling family did not know about it.

"Okay, let your brother come to Ling's house after he comes back." Ling Shichang explained.

"I understand." Ye Wanwan nodded.

"By the way, what happened to that island and who was behind it?" Ling Shichang continued to ask.

Ye Wanwan thought for a moment and finally decided to tell Ling Shichang the story of the future.

"It's the Martial Arts Alliance Guild..."

After learning the truth, Ling Shichang frowned: "You mean, the little boy your grandfather saved back then is the current president of the Martial Arts Alliance..."

"Yes." Ye Wanwan nodded.

"I will investigate this matter carefully." Ling Shichang's face was a little solemn: "In the recent period, the Independence State may not continue to be peaceful."

"Grandpa, what do you mean by this?" Ye Wanwan looked surprised.

"In the past few days that you have been on the island, the direct clan has announced that it will go to war with the collateral clans in the Independent State, and has been wooing all the major forces in the Independent State." Ling Shichang said slowly.

The direct line announced that they would go to war with the independent state...

Ye Wanwan really didn't know much about this matter.

"By the way, grandpa... how do you distinguish between collateral and direct lineage?" Ye Wanwan asked Ling Shichang.

"The so-called collateral line and direct line, to put it bluntly, are the descendants of the ancestors who first lived in the Independent State, such as the Si Clan, the Jiang Clan and other major ancient clans, which belong to the collateral line, while the direct line once lived in the Independent State.

They are also an ancient clan, but after the direct war between the collateral clans, the direct clan was defeated, so they were driven out of the Independent State by the collateral clans." Ling Shichang explained.

"Then, do our four great families belong to the direct line or the collateral line?" Ye Wanwan continued to ask.

Hearing Ye Wanwan's words, Ling Shichang smiled slightly: "Wuyou, our four great families neither belong to the collateral line nor have anything to do with the direct line. Not only our four great families, but also all the forces in the Independent State except the ancient clan.

, are not people from the collateral or direct lineage."

Ye Wanwan: "..."

Only now did Ye Wanwan have a general understanding of collateral and direct lineage.

To put it bluntly, this is completely a war between the ancient people and has nothing to do with them.

Since it doesn't matter, just hit them. It won't affect them. At most, the side branches will be beaten out.

"Grandpa, since it has nothing to do with us, why should we bother?" Ye Wanwan said confused.

"Relationships are related." Ling Shichang explained: "The direct line focuses on rule, while the collateral line focuses on balance. If the independent state is let the direct line take charge, this is not a good thing."

"I see."

After hearing her grandfather Ling Shichang's explanation, Ye Wanwan suddenly realized.

If you think about it carefully, now, the most powerful forces in the Independent State must belong to those ancient tribes.

However, as Ling Shichang said, the ancient tribe pays attention to balance, so they never care about the affairs between the major forces, let alone interfere or take sides.

To be precise, the major ancient tribes are responsible for the rules and systems of the independent state, while the Martial Arts Alliance is responsible for enforcing the rules and systems. As for other forces, they all belong to A, B, C and D.
