Ye Wanwan stood in her spot and suddenly sensed something amiss .

The gaze of a member of the Martial Arts Union kept lingering on Ye Wanwan .

Soon, the Martial Arts Union member walked toward Ye Wanwan and surveyed her briefly before asking, “Which region are you from?”

Ye Wanwan was startled .

She just arrived at the Independent State, so she didn't know anything about the different regions of the Independent State . How could she name a region?

The man frowned slightly at the lack of response from Ye Wanwan . “Your permit?”

An ominous feeling crawled over Ye Wanwan instantly . She didn't give that man from the Martial Arts Union any time to react and fled faster than she had ever run in her life .

How could she have a permit from the Independent State? How great was it that she was caught red-handed by a member of the Martial Arts Union? If she couldn't show a permit, the consequences were unimaginable . She might even lose her life…

There was no way Ye Wanwan would foolishly stay and argue with a member of the Martial Arts Union . This was the Independent State; she wasn't so naive that she thought she could successfully bluff her way out of a pickle with the Martial Arts Union…

“I found a suspicious person!” the man shouted behind him .

Immediately, the members of the Martial Arts Union chased after Ye Wanwan in groups, and every member was extremely fast .

Although Ye Wanwan was fast, she was still too slow compared to her pursuers . If things continued like this, she'd be caught before long .

In her haste, Ye Wanwan ran quicker but a few seconds later, she slammed into the figure of someone in front of her .

“Who are you?!”

The man who was slammed into had a deep frown as he looked at the person who ran into him with displeasure .

However, he was briefly taken back when he saw the girl's appearance and felt his heartbeat speeding up .

All those women who thought they were stunningly beautiful all became ordinary to him; the difference between these women and her was like day and night .

She didn't have any make-up on her face, but her bare looks were already astonis.h.i.+ng . Her fl.u.s.tered appearance elicited an inexplicable desire for him to protect her .

“I'm sorry… Are you okay?”

Ye Wanwan asked with a furrow of her brows as she looked at the n.o.bly dressed man in front of her .

“Oh… Oh, I'm fine . It's nothing . My bones are rather strong . Did you get hurt?” the man asked .

Um, why are the people from the Independent State different from what I imagined?

Are they all so friendly?

She ran into someone, but he didn't blame her at all and started asking about her wellbeing instead . It appeared that the Independent State was quite a nice place, except for that Martial Arts Union…

However, the reality was that appearance was universally important no matter where a person was…

“Sorry, I need to go…” Ye Wanwan reflexively looked behind her and her expression s.h.i.+fted when she saw that the members of the Martial Arts Union were about to catch up to her .

The man followed her gaze and looked behind her .

“The investigation team of the Martial Arts Union…” the man muttered with a pensive expression .

This investigation team was mainly responsible for eliminating outsiders and checking for Independent State permits . Since she was being chased by the investigation team like this, she either didn't have a permit or she was an outsider .

Based on how this girl was being pursued, she was most likely an outsider .
