SIGNING IN AT MOUNT SWORD FOR 100 YEARS TO BECOME INVINCIBLE - Chapter 348 - 348 A Middle-aged Man’s Heart Is As Deep As Wine, A Girl’s Feelings Are Always Poems

348 A Middle-aged Man’s Heart Is As Deep As Wine, A Girl’s Feelings Are Always Poems

The ominous feeling disappeared in a flash.

Lin Ran thought for a moment but couldn’t figure it out. When he came back to his senses, Xue Gie had already put on her mask. Then, she walked to the unconscious Ye Jin and reached out. However, just as she reached out, she retracted her hand for some reason.

Seeing this, Lin Ran hesitated for a moment before asking, “Let me be straightforward. Trust is the foundation of cooperation. I need to ask you a question.”

Xue Gie looked at Ye Jin for a while more before turning around and nodding at Lin Ran. “Of course. Lord Lin, feel free to ask.”

!!

Lin Ran glanced at Ye Jin, who was still unconscious. “I heard that you left her a relic?”

“Are you talking about that necklace?”

Xue Gie said without thinking, “It’s a necklace made of Heavenly Iron. There are a total of 18 metal rods.”

Lin Ran didn’t expect Xue Gie to answer so quickly. He was stunned for a moment before nodding. “There’s another secret on that necklace. Do you know anything?”

Hearing that there was a secret on the necklace, Xue Gie subconsciously glanced at Ye Jin. When she looked at Lin Ran again, there was clearly something strange in her eyes. “Jin even told you this? It seems that she trusts you a lot.”

“Er… maybe?”

Lin Ran smiled awkwardly. For some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Xue Gie.

Fortunately, Xue Gie did not stare at Lin Ran for too long. After a few seconds, she turned her gaze to Ye Jin’s face and said slowly in a reminiscent tone, “That necklace is engraved with reverse ciphertext that needs to be imprinted to be deciphered. However, this is not a problem for Jin, so you should already know the content, right?”

Lin Ran nodded. Now, he was completely certain that this woman in front of him was Ye Jin’s mother!

“I have one more question…”

Lin Ran continued, “I’ve already confirmed your identity, so if you don’t want to answer this question, you can choose not to answer.”

Xue Gie turned around and looked at him. Lin Ran hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively, “The content of the ciphertext on the necklace is called Cloud Breaking Slash. Since you engraved it on the necklace, I want to ask you where you learned this thing.”

Hearing the words “Cloud Breaking Slash”, a difficult expression suddenly appeared on Xue Gie’s face. “This is a secret passed down in my family for generations, but no one has ever understood the meaning of it. If Lord Lin wants to ask how to practice it, I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

“I see.”

Lin Ran nodded with a subtle expression. He had a vague guess, but there seemed to be many important parts missing, preventing him from connecting those dots.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran said with a nod, “I have no more questions. You can wake them up.”

Xue Gie nodded, but she still didn’t move. She just looked at Ye Jin’s unconscious face in a daze. Her clear eyes under the mask were filled with affection.

After about fifteen minutes, Xue Gie suddenly took a deep breath. Then, she picked up the apricot-colored handkerchief at her waist and waved it gently in front of Ye Jin, as if she was shaking something off. However, before Lin Ran could see it clearly, the shiny dust disappeared with Ye Jin’s breathing.

Then, Xue Gie waved the handkerchief in front of the young man a few more times. After that, she put the handkerchief away. At the side, Ye Jin opened her eyes in a daze.

“Where is this…”

Ye Jin had just woken up and was still a little dizzy. When she saw Xue Gie Girl beside her, she was stunned for a moment before suddenly getting up from the ground. “Who are you?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Jin saw Lin Ran sitting beside her. She was stunned for a moment before asking suspiciously, “Is this your friend?”

“Uh…”

Lin Ran paused for a moment and nodded. “She’s here to help me. You can call her Auntie Xue.”

“Auntie Xue?”

Ye Jin glanced at Xue Gie again, and the suspicion on her face deepened. After all, this woman looked very young. People would believe that she was her sister. How could she call her “Auntie”?

“I’ll call you Sister Xue!”

Ye Jin then held Xue Gie’s arm intimately. Although this was the first time the two of them met, since she was Lin Ran’s friend, Ye Jin naturally believed her.

Xue Gie didn’t seem to expect Ye Jin to take the initiative to get close to her. Her body suddenly stiffened.

At this moment, the severely injured young man slowly woke up. When he saw another peerless beauty beside him, his expression immediately became strange, as if he could not believe what he was seeing.

Before the young man could speak, Lin Ran, who realized that he had woken up, leaned over and extended a finger. “Listen carefully. I’ll give you one last chance. Why is Liu Ruxi so sure that I’ll save her?”

“Did you ask me this question before?”

The young man looked at Lin Ran in confusion, as if he had yet to fully recover.

Lin Ran didn’t waste his breath on him. With a flash of white light in his hand, he summoned the Yin-Yang Sword and placed it on the other party’s shoulder. “Tell me or die.”

Feeling the coldness coming from the Yin Yang Sword, the young man’s face instantly turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and shook his head firmly. “I can’t tell you!”

“Then die.”

After saying that, Lin Ran was about to slash, but before he could do it, he was pulled back from behind.

“Wait a minute!”

Xue Gie pulled Lin Ran and said softly, “Don’t kill anyone in front of the child. I’ve learned some interrogation methods. Why don’t you let me try?”

Lin Ran glanced at Ye Jin. Although he didn’t think it was necessary, he could understand how a mother felt. Then, he raised the Yin-Yang Sword and nodded. “It’s best if you can get it out of him. If you can’t, it’s ok.”

Xue Gie nodded slightly. “Lord Lin, please take Jin somewhere far away.”

Lin Ran agreed and pulled Ye Jin away. However, he didn’t know what was considered “far”, so he walked straight out of the forest.X
