Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

341 Uninvolved

Under Sun Ge’s gaze, a few excuses quickly flashed across Lin Ran’s mind, such as that he had accidentally cut himself, but he quickly rejected them one by one because this explanation was too deliberate and would easily arouse Sun Ge’s suspicion.

Half a second later, Lin Ran frowned and looked surprised. “Really? But why didn’t I notice it at that time?”

“Maybe that person broke in after you left.”

Sun Ge didn’t doubt Lin Ran’s words. “In short, it’s good that Jin is fine. We’ll continue to investigate who broke in. Be careful.”

!!

Lin Ran nodded to show that he understood. Sun Ge continued, “Also, the location of a few people on that list has yet to be confirmed. We need some time.”

“Hurry up. We don’t have much time left.”

Lin Ran replied with a sigh. He still didn’t know what was going on with Liu Ruxi, but the appearance of that young man indeed made his time a lot more tighter.

Sun Ge didn’t know what Lin Ran was thinking. After promising that he would hurry up, he turned around and left. Lin Ran called Ye Jin to walk into a remote alley. After making sure that no one was around, he rode his sword and flew straight out of the city.

The reason why he left in such a hurry was partly because he wanted to give the young man medicine to treat his injuries as soon as possible, and partly because he was afraid that Sun Ge would ask him to return the money…

As the wind howled, the two of them quickly arrived at the small forest in the north of the city. However, when they landed, they only saw a mark on the grass where someone had been lying, and the severely injured young man was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Jin said with a frown, “Didn’t we tell him not to run around? Could it be that he can’t read the words?”

“It’s not that he can’t read. He’s just more cautious.”

Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and chuckled. Then, he turned to look at a bush not far away. “Come out. We brought you medicine.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the bushes rustled. The young man stuck out half his head warily and confirmed that there was no one else other than Lin Ran and Ye Jin before standing up completely.

“You came back very quickly.”

The young man grinned. His injuries seemed to have recovered a lot. At least, his face was not as pale as before. He wondered if it was because of Lin Ran’s slaps.

“Because I was afraid that you’d die if I came back too late.”

Lin Ran sneered and walked forward. He reached out to help the young man out of the bushes. Then, he took out the medicine he had just bought and poured out a few pills for the young man. “Take the medicine first. We’ll talk later.”

The young man pushed Lin Ran’s hand away. “Time is tight. Let me talk first…”

“Do you think you’re the only one who doesn’t have time?”

Lin Ran interrupted him with a cold expression and stuffed the medicine into the young man’s hand. “If I tell you to take it, you take it. Otherwise, you’ll die here!”

The young man was speechless. In the end, he could only obediently stuff the medicine into his mouth.

Not long after, the medicine was absorbed. The young man slowly exhaled and smiled at Lin Ran. “Thank you. I feel much better.”

“That’s good.”

Lin Ran nodded and reached out his right hand, saying seriously, “Five taels of silver in total!”

The young man was stunned for a few seconds before he took out a golden leaf from his belt. “I don’t have change…”

“That’s it then!”

Lin Ran snatched the golden leaf and threw it to Ye Jin. He clapped his hands and looked like he was all ears. “Now, tell me, what happened to Liu Ruxi?”

The young man said, “It’s Liu Hongshan. Yesterday, he suddenly visited our camp and chatted with Town Guardian Liu in the room for an hour before leaving.”

“But last night, he suddenly returned. As soon as he appeared, he attacked. Many people were killed by him before they could react…”

“Wait a minute!”

Lin Ran raised his hand and interrupted him. He frowned and asked suspiciously, “Did you just say that Liu Hongshan went to your camp?”

“Right.”

The young man nodded firmly. “I don’t know that person, but I heard Town Guardian Liu call him by the Dragon Elephant Divine Master.”

“You’re lying to me.”

Lin Ran’s expression instantly darkened. “As far as I know, Liu Hongshan was still in the capital of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty yesterday morning. Why would he visit your camp? Do you need me to tell you how far the capital of Heavenly Saint Dynasty is from Nanjiang Town?”

“I’m not lying to you. Town Guardian Liu really called that person ‘Liu Hongshan’!”

The young man hurriedly explained, but his eyes suddenly averted. He said in a voice not much louder than a mosquito, “But Nanjiang Town has been destroyed by you. Our new camp is in the Heavenly Saint…”

“What did you say?!”

Lin Ran frowned and was instantly furious!

Although what Liu Ruxi did went against the rules of the Heavenly Dao, Lin Ran tolerated it because she was carrying out the experiment in Nanjiang Town and that the people who were harmed were from the Great Yong Dynasty.

But now that they had moved their camp to the Heavenly Saint Dynasty, wouldn’t the commoners of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty be the ones to suffer?!

Sensing the violent aura coming from Lin Ran, the young man, who had yet to recover from his serious injuries, immediately turned pale. He hurriedly waved his hand and explained, “Don’t be angry! It’s my fault for not making it clear. Actually, strictly speaking, that place is already considered part of the Great Yong Dynasty.”

“It’s considered part of the Great Yong Dynasty?”

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows. Then, an idea flashed across his mind. “Is it one of the 15 cities that the Heavenly Saint Dynasty ceded?”

The young man nodded. Lin Ran’s expression immediately changed.

Previously, Chen Tianqi pretended to be Xuan Wushang and asked Emperor Sheng Yuan to retreat 300 miles at the border and give up 15 cities.

However, there were no requirements for location, scale, and so on for the 15 cities. As long as they were in the Heavenly Saint Realm, it did not matter even if they were an ancient city that had long been abandoned.

In the end, Emperor Sheng Yuan chose 15 empty cities from the various borders, but she did not expect Chen Tianqi to really accept them.

After what the young man said, Lin Ran seemed to understand what Chen Tianqi wanted the 15 empty cities for…
