The girl’s torch flickered from the bursts of wintry wind, with the possibility of getting extinguished at any second.
The girl waved the torch and walked backward to the boy’s side, finally seeing his appearance.
His large eyes were very spirited and his skin was fair. Unfortunately, the corner of his eye was scratched, but thankfully, his eyeballs weren’t injured. Also, it was winter, so it wasn’t too treacherous.
“We’ll walk toward the cave. My grandpa’s there…” he girl said to the boy.
“I… I can’t walk…” The boy shook his head. He struggled to stand up, but it was a futile effort.
The girl immediately knelt down and supported his arm with one arm while keeping her hold on the torch with the other, continually brandishing it toward the wolf that was prepared to leap toward them any second.
“Worriless.”
Suddenly, the elderly man slowly walked out of the cave and looked at the girl with a tinge of displeasure.
“Grandpa, hurry and save us!” the girl ardently cried.
The elderly man didn’t say anything and quickly walked toward the girl.
The wolf growled and sprang toward the elderly man.
Swish!
A kick was seen and the wild wolf was kicked up a dozen or so meters, crashing onto the ground, ceasing to breathe.
“Come back.”
The elderly man picked the girl up.
“Grandpa, him too…” The girl pointed at the boy.
The elderly man glanced at the boy before also picking him up and bringing him inside the cave.
…
“What’s your name?” the girl asked the boy.
The boy shook his head.
“Why are you here by yourself? Where’s your dad and mom?” the girl continued to ask.
The boy turned silent, seemingly unwilling to answer this question.
After a long while, the boy suddenly asked, “Grandfather… can I follow you? I don’t have a home…”
“Grandpa…”
The girl kept shaking the elderly man’s arm while staring at him.
A moment later, the elderly man closed his eyes and aloofly replied, “En.”
Ye Wanwan surveyed the boy. Was this boy… the current president of the Martial Arts Union?
The injury by his eye was enough to reveal his identity.
Ye Wanwan found it unbelievable. It turned out she shared this past with the current president of the Martial Arts Union.
However, Ye Wanwan couldn’t understand it. If they shared this past, why did that boy want to kill her after growing up?
Just what kind of misfortune had happened between then and now?
The truth was within reach but it sent Ye Wanwan’s head splitting with pain. Her own issue seemed to be preventing her from recalling the supposed truth.
The scene abruptly changed.
The girl had become a slender and graceful teenager.
At a slum in the Independent State:
The girl was walking on the streets when she was bumped.
Nearby, a somewhat raggedly-dressed teenage boy stuck his tongue out at her and rolled his eyes, a defiant expression on his face.
Within moments, the youth fled without a trace.
The girl aloofly chased after the youth to a remote alley.
“I stole an idiotic woman’s money, hahaha!”
The youth snickered as he looked at the shy-looking boy next to him.
“Big Dipper… that’s very dangerous…” the boy responded after a silence.
“What are you afraid of? Don’t worry, you’ll get to eat meat following me! Sadly, my mom’s health isn’t good, so I can’t take you home. But don’t worry, as long as I have a mouthful of soup to drink, you’ll have a piece of meat to eat…” The youth clapped his chest.
