Everything happening in the room across from him, including Ye Nan's "whispers" to Zhang Shaojie and Arcade, was within Wen Yu's perception.
With a physical quality of 13,000 points, the gap compared to the highest, Zhang Shaojie's 2,000 points at peak level five, was simply too large.
Looking at his familiar little nest, Wen Yu ignored the dust covering the floor and the cracked walls, casually lying on the bed and pretending to be asleep.
In fact, long before he discovered Ye Nan and the others, Wen Yu had clearly defined his relationship with them.
Ye Nan had poisoned him at the time, but he had seen through it.
At that moment, Ye Nan appeared like an ant in front of Wen Yu. Perhaps due to just having experienced the brutality of the Battlefield of the Two Realms, Wen Yu's urge to kill wasn't significant, and he let Ye Nan off the hook.
After that, Wen Yu didn't know what happened...
However, since he had already given Ye Nan a chance, there was no need to bring up old matters now. Ye Nan's relationship with him was—no relationship!
As for Arcade and the other guy named Zhang Shaojie, it went without saying—they had no grievances with him whatsoever.
So, since they weren't coming to provoke him, Wen Yu also couldn't be bothered to do anything to them.
...
“Knock, knock.”
The clear sound of knocking echoed, and Ye Nan was already standing at Wen Yu's door.
“Eyepatch, go open the door,” Wen Yu instructed Eyepatch as he sat up from the bed.
Before long, Ye Nan walked into Wen Yu's bedroom with a blank expression.
After months apart, Ye Nan had lost even more weight.
The man in his thirties now looked even older; clearly, he had suffered a lot over the past few months.
However, appearances weren't the main point. As Ye Nan approached Wen Yu, a deep-seated disgust began to rise from the depths of Wen Yu's heart.
Noticing his strange emotions, Wen Yu slowly furrowed his brows.
"What is this...?"
"Professional characteristic, changed my profession, but there are some side effects," Ye Nan replied calmly, seemingly unaware that this "innate aversion" to others could cause him significant trouble.
Wen Yu, however, showed no concern for it.
"Is the profession strong?"
"Very strong! At least I am quite satisfied."
"That's good."
After this brief exchange, Wen Yu's approval of Ye Nan actually increased a bit.
Although he didn't know what Ye Nan had gone through, his attitude of "as long as the profession is strong enough, who cares about the side effects" resonated with Wen Yu.
Changing his position casually, Wen Yu lay back down on the bed and asked casually, "What about your wife and Xiao Ye?"
"Dead."
Ye Nan spoke in a mechanical tone, calmly stating the fact that his entire family was dead.
Wen Yu felt nothing regarding the lives or deaths of the two people he had met a few times.
In this world, separations of life and death were far too numerous.
"How did they die?"
"Killed by Wan Ping."
"Oh."
This was indeed his fault for having them harmed, but there was no need to mention that—Ye Nan's family had poisoned him first, so Wen Yu felt no guilt about it.
"Then you came back this time to seek revenge on Wan Ping? When I went to Beijing, Wan Ping had already slipped away. Given your behavior, he should have run back to M City."
"Right, I have confirmed that he's in M City, but I haven't found his exact location yet. I heard you have some conflicts with Wan Ping too. Do you want to join?"
Upon hearing Ye Nan invite him to catch Wan Ping together, Wen Yu quickly ran through his grievances with Wan Ping in his mind.
After a moment, Wen Yu gently shook his head.
"Forget it. Looking at you, even without me, you should have confidence in capturing Wan Ping. I won't participate in this kind of thing."
"He has a grudge against you. He has always wanted to kill you."
"I know."
Wen Yu nodded.
"Neglecting your enemy doesn't sound like your style."
Wan Ping's words still implied that he was trying to persuade Wen Yu to act together.
Wen Yu was unclear about Ye Nan's overall strength, but Ye Nan was well aware of his own capabilities. Considering Ye Nan's current strength—along with Zhang Shaojie and Arcade—if they really faced Wan Ping, it could go either way.
