345 There Are a Thousand Paths in the World

Looking at Xue Gie’s familiar face for a few minutes, Lin Ran was still in a daze.

This was because after he met Ye Jin, he had heard Ye Jin talking about her mother’s death more than once.

Therefore, no matter what, there was no doubt that Ye Jin’s mother had passed away. However, now that this dead person was standing in front of him, how could Lin Ran not be puzzled?

After a few minutes, Lin Ran came back to his senses and asked suspiciously, “But aren’t you dead?”

!!

“Maybe I’m just lucky?”

Xue Gie smiled sadly. Then, she opened her collar and slowly raised her head, revealing the ferocious scar across her fair neck.

After showing it, Xue Gie lowered her head and subconsciously pulled up her collar.

“Back then, when Sun Ge came to kill me, I thought that I was dead for sure. I didn’t expect to be saved by someone later on. Since then, I’ve been living incognito.”

Xue Gie slowly explained in a calm tone, as if she was talking about someone else. “However, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that perhaps because of my husband, Sun Ge intentionally let me off.”

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows. “You mean… Sun Ge deliberately let you live?”

“I don’t know. I just don’t want to believe that he’ll kill me.”

Xue Gie smiled, her clear eyes revealing a hint of motherly love. “After all, he was only six years old when my husband took him in as a disciple. It can even be said that I raised him up.”

“I see.”

Lin Ran looked at Xue Gie and asked, “You said that you have a presumptuous request to make. What is it?”

“It’s the same thing as I said before.”

Xue Gie replied in a low voice, but her attitude was not as aggressive as before. “I want to borrow your head.”

Lin Ran was speechless. He took a deep breath and asked helplessly, “Why are you so obsessed with my head?”

“Because this is a very important part.”

Xue Gie said seriously, “I own the person who saved me a favor, so I have to do something for him. Only by completing this task can I reunite with my husband and daughter.”

“In order to complete this task, I have to take advantage of the emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty. Therefore, last night, I made an agreement with the emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty to take your head before dusk today—”

At this point, Xue Gie suddenly knelt on the ground and pressed her forehead against the ground as she said sincerely, “Lord Lin, please allow me to reunite with my family.”

“Are you crazy?”

Lin Ran finally couldn’t help but curse, “You want my life just so that you can reunite with your family. Do you think I’m stupid?”

Xue Gie looked up in confusion, as if she didn’t understand what Lin Ran meant.

Lin Ran couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on her. He turned around and pointed at the unconscious Ye Jin. “Your daughter is here. You can reunite with her whenever you want. Just do something else to repay the person who saved you.”

Xue Gie shook her head. “No, this is the only way. Only by completing this task can I be reunited with my family.”

“Then let’s do it another way!”

Lin Ran waved his hand again and frowned. “Didn’t you say that you wanted my head just to make the emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty help you? You don’t have to suck up to him now. I’ll help you do whatever you want!”

“You?”

Xue Gie frowned slightly, looking troubled. “I’m afraid you can’t do it.”

“I can’t do it?”

Lin Ran was so angry that he laughed. He tightened his grip on the Yin-Yang Sword, and an invincible sharp sword intent instantly surged out. “With my cultivation at the seventh level of the Half-Saint Realm, is there anything in the world I can’t do?”

Even though Lin Ran was not hostile at this moment, Xue Gie’s face still turned pale when she was faced with his sharp sword intent.

However, even so, Xue Gie still shook her head with difficulty. “You can’t do it! This has nothing to do with cultivation. Even if you’ve already shattered the void and ascended, you still don’t have the power to mobilize an entire army of a country!”

“Mobilize an entire army of a country?”

Lin Ran’s eyes flickered, and the endless sword intent calmed down. A strange smile slowly appeared on his face. “Who said I don’t have it?”

“What did you say?”

Xue Gie was stunned. Although she didn’t know what Lin Ran meant, Lin Ran’s confident expression made her feel like she had seen a new hope.

In the magistrate’s office of the Iron City.

In the hall, “Chen Tianqi”, who was dressed in Fluttering Cloud, was sitting at the table. He was writing something with a brush in his hand. From time to time, he would stop and think for a moment, as if he was unsure of something.

At this moment, a figure walked in. As soon as he entered the hall, he knelt on the ground. “Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the emperor!”

“Chen Tianqi” didn’t raise his head. The brush in his hand did not even stop for a moment. He smiled, “Sun Ge, there’s only the two of us here. There’s no need for such formalities, right?”

“The walls have ears. It’s always good to be careful.”

Sun Ge chuckled and stood up. He walked a few steps closer and asked softly, “How’s the list?”

“It’s almost done.”

“Chen Tianqi” said as he wrote, “But I don’t think I can trust Lin Ran completely. At the same time, in order to prevent him from seeing through our plan, I want to add some unrelated people to confuse him.”

“That makes sense. It’s better to be safe than sorry!”

Sun Ge nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he chuckled and asked, “I noticed that you seem to know Lin Ran very well!”

“Not really. I’ve just met him a few times before.”

“Chen Tianqi” smiled and suddenly stopped writing. When he looked up at Sun Ge, his narrowed eyes revealed a hint of scrutiny. “You seem to be very interested in Lin Ran?”
