Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

205 Wanted, Public Enemy of Heavenly Saint Dynasty

The young man lay on the edge of the table with one hand supporting his chin. His childish face had a pair of clear eyes, but what he said sent a chill down Lin Ran’s spine.

“This sister looks familiar…”

Hearing the young man’s puzzled voice, Lin Ran’s heart skipped a beat. His first reaction was that the empress’s identity was about to be exposed!

However, before Lin Ran could think of a way to brush it off, the young man suddenly clapped his hands and said excitedly, “I remember now! This sister looks like our town guardian! You’re both equally beautiful!”

“Of course! They are a daughter and a mother.” Lin Ran thought to himself, but he put on a surprised look on his face. “Yes, we noticed it when we saw the town guardian just now. What a coincidence!”

“Yes, what a coincidence!”

The young man nodded noncommittally and winked at Lin Ran. “Brother, you’re really lucky. Such a beautiful sister is willing to elope with you.”

“Yes, I’m quite lucky.”

Lin Ran smiled meaningfully and put down his chopsticks.

Although this young man was an ignorant fool, he seemed to have some inexplicable intuition. From time to time, he would say something that caught Lin Ran off guard.

The empress couldn’t eat anymore. Seeing Lin Ran put down his chopsticks, she put down her bowl and chopsticks too.

Seeing this, the young man looked puzzled. “Aren’t you hungry for a few days? Why did you eat so little?”

Lin Ran smiled. “We’re a little tired.”

“Alright, rest early. I’ll come back tomorrow to deliver breakfast.”

As the young man spoke, he had already packed up the leftovers. He was as agile as a waiter who had worked in the restaurant for many years. Then, he picked up the tray and turned into a white figure that rushed towards the door.

Lin Ran was about to heave a sigh of relief when he realized that the young man had stopped at the door.

“That was close. I almost forgot!”

The young man held the tray with one hand and slapped his forehead. Then, he took out two red ribbons from his pocket. “The town guardian has instructed me to put this on your wrists. You can walk around the town as long as you don’t go out.”

Lin Ran thanked him and took the ribbons. The young man left without looking back.

Back at the table, Lin Ran waved the red ribbons in his hand. “Now I’m completely sure that your mother does have her reasons for staying here.”

The empress nodded and picked up a ribbon to tie it to Lin Ran’s wrist. “I didn’t expect us to have some freedom. Do you want to go out and take a look?”

“Let’s talk about that tomorrow.”

Lin Ran shook his head and tied another ribbon to the empress’s wrist. “We’ve been running around for a few days now. Although someone might be watching us, we still have to rest well tonight.”

When the empress heard this, her face turned red. It was unknown what was on her mind.

“Don’t misunderstand!”

Lin Ran hurriedly pointed at the back hall. “What I mean is that you can sleep inside while I make do outside for the night.”

“Since we’re a couple, how can we sleep in separate rooms?”

The empress blushed and said in an almost inaudible voice. Then, she walked into the back hall first. When she entered, she turned to look at Lin Ran, but as soon as their eyes met, she immediately looked away.

Seeing the empress’s attitude, Lin Ran immediately followed her into the back hall.

…

In the bedroom in the back hall, Lin Ran lay on the ground.

Suddenly, the empress, who was on the bed, said, “Are you asleep?”

“No.”

Lin Ran asked, “You must be exhausted, right? Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“This blanket smells strange. I can’t sleep.”

The empress sounded a little aggrieved.

Lin Ran looked at the coat over him and didn’t speak.

After a while, the empress asked again, “Why do you think my mother is staying here?”

“I don’t know. Do you have any ideas?”

Lin Ran replied casually. He knew that the empress didn’t really want to discuss this. She just wanted to say something to ease her tension.

As expected, after receiving the question, the empress immediately started talking non-stop, saying all kinds of illogical and meaningless things.

Lin Ran closed his eyes and nodded from time to time to indicate that he was listening.

After an unknown period of time, the empress’s voice finally weakened and was replaced by a faint snore.

“Finally alseep.”

Lin Ran let out a long sigh and opened his eyes.

At the same time, a white light flashed. Lin Ran held the Yin-Yang Sword and waved it gently. He shouted softly, “Five Elements Sword Technique—Water.”

…

Nanjiang Town, Great Yong Dynasty.

It was already late at night, but there were still many people on the streets.

Suddenly, the people seemed to have sensed something and stopped to look at the sky. The originally bright night sky was suddenly filled with heavy clouds.

As the night wind blew, the air began to feel damp. Someone cursed under their breath. Then everyone quickened their pace. Soon the street was deserted.

Immediately after, heavy rain poured down, and water quickly accumulated on the road. In the canal by the roadside that no one noticed, a pool of water was quietly flowing through.

…

Heavenly Saint Dynasty, at the Ministry of Justice.

Song Rentong narrowed his eyes and looked at the wanted poster in his hand. The target on the wanted poster was Lin Ran. The crime was deliberately blurred, but the reward was very high, a total of 100,000 taels of gold.

The painter from the Ministry of Justice was very skilled, but perhaps to please his superior, he made Lin Ran look fierce and ferocious on the wanted poster.

However, Song Rentong did not mind. After looking at it for a moment to make sure that there was nothing wrong, he stamped his official seal on the wanted poster and handed it to his subordinate. “Before dawn, I want it posted all over the capital!”

“Yes!”

The subordinate agreed and took the wanted poster with both hands before turning to leave.

Li Tianyi took half a step forward and asked with a frown, “Lord Song, I know you’re doing this for the sake of His Majesty’s safety, but isn’t it a little too risky to beat the drum about it.”

“Are you teaching me how to do things?”

Song Rentong looked up at Li Tianyi, his tone no longer as respectful as before. “If you didn’t slack off, His Majesty wouldn’t have been taken hostage by that traitor.”

Li Tianyi was originally a little angry, but at the mention of this, he instantly lost his temper. He pursed his lips tightly, and his face was haggard and emaciated, making him look like an old monkey.

At this moment, a low-ranking official from the Ministry of Justice suddenly barged in. Without even bowing, he hurriedly shouted, “Lord! Lord! There’s news about His Majesty!”
