300 You Deserve To Be Unlucky

In the Ye family’s house in the Iron City.

Ye Jin rested her chin on her elbow on the forging table and looked at the charcoal fire in the furnace, but her ears perked up as she listened to what was going on upstairs.

Unfortunately, the soundproofing of the metal wall was too good. No matter how hard she tried, she could not hear anything.

Just as Ye Jin was wondering if she should go upstairs to eavesdrop, she suddenly heard a rumbling sound outside. She turned around and saw a gorgeous carriage slowly stopping in front of the house.

Seeing this, Ye Jin frowned slightly. She didn’t recognize this carriage, so it shouldn’t be from the city.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no one came down, Ye Jin hesitated for a moment before walking to the door and asking tentatively, “Is there anyone inside?”

As soon as she finished speaking, a hoarse voice replied, “Is Huo Qiyun here?”

“Huo Qiyun?”

Ye Jin was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She quickly nodded and admitted, “He’s talking to my father upstairs. Are you his friend? Why are you looking for him?”

“Call him out, please.”

The person in the carriage replied in a low voice. Then, no matter what Ye Jin asked, he stopped replying.

Ye Jin turned to walk upstairs. In order not to let Lin Ran and his father misunderstand that she was eavesdropping, she even stomped her feet hard as she went upstairs.

Halfway up, the sound of a door opening and closing came from the second floor. Then, Lin Ran appeared at the stairs and looked at Ye Jin with a complicated expression. “Why did you come up? Why aren’t you watching over the furnace?”

“Someone is looking for you.”

Ye Jin quickly pointed outside the door. “I don’t know who it is, but he said he’s looking for Huo Qiyun.”

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows. “He didn’t say what was the matter?”

As Lin Ran spoke, he looked out, but the carriage was parked outside the door. From his angle, he could only see half of the wheel.

Ye Jin shook her head. “I asked, but he only said that he was looking for Huo Qiyun. He didn’t say anything else.”

“Fine.”

Lin Ran nodded helplessly, tidied up his clothes, and walked down the stairs. “Wait here. I’ll go take a look.”

As he spoke, Lin Ran had already arrived at the door. He could tell that the gorgeous carriage was in the typical style of the Great Yong Dynasty. He immediately felt even more puzzled. There were only a few people he knew in the Great Yong Dynasty, but none of them rode a carriage.

Puzzled, Lin Ran sent out a divine sense to scan the carriage and realized that there was only one person in it. Although he deliberately hid his aura, Lin Ran still found out about him.

“It was a seventh level Grandmaster… Is he sent by Liu Ruxi?” Lin Ran thought to himself.

He suppressed his realm to the second level of the Grandmaster Realm. When he did not know the situation, it was not wrong to hide his strength appropriately.

After he was ready, Lin Ran stepped out of the door. Just as he opened his mouth, he heard a hoarse voice say, “Get in.”

Lin Ran frowned slightly. “May I ask who you are?”

“Get in!”

The person in the carriage repeated, sounding clearly impatient.

Lin Ran came to the carriage and lifted the curtain. He saw a thin middle-aged man in a white robe sitting inside.

The middle-aged man’s sinister expression was somewhat similar to Xuan Wushang’s. However, compared to Xuan Wushang’s gentleman-like face, this person’s face was a little strange.

He had a hooked nose, a sharp face, a thin mouth, and triangular eyes. If not for the fact that he had a sage-like aura, he would really look like a villain no matter how one looked at him.

Lin Ran realized that he had no impression of this person. He asked, “Who are you?”

While Lin Ran was sizing him up, the middle-aged man was also sizing him up. When he heard this, he frowned slightly and probed, “You’re Huo Qiyun?”

“What do you want?”

Lin Ran asked calmly, already on guard. From this person’s words, it was not difficult to tell that although he was here to look for Huo Qiyun, he didn’t seem to know him.

“Get in.”

The middle-aged man repeated it one last time before closing his eyes and falling silent.

Seeing this, Lin Ran couldn’t help but wonder if this person was here for the Black Shadow Saber.

As soon as all the men in black left, a seventh level Grandmaster came. Lin Ran didn’t believe that these two things were unrelated.

Most importantly, when he and Ye Jin left the city this morning, he introduced himself to the men in black as “Huo Qiyun”. This middle-aged man was most likely with the men in black!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Lin Ran was not worried. In any case, he had already hidden the Black Shadow Saber outside the city. So what if he went with this person?

Thinking of this, Lin Ran no longer hesitated. He lifted the curtain and jumped into the carriage. However, before he could stand still, the two horses neighed and pulled the carriage away.

Just as Lin Ran stabilized himself, the middle-aged man said, “My name is Guyue Dao.”

“Hello.”

Lin Ran nodded with a strange expression. “My name is Huo Qiyun.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Guyue Dao asked, “Do you know why I came to look for you?”

“I guess so.”

Lin Ran nodded again. Before Guyue Dao could speak, he continued, “But I don’t think you should keep pestering me just because I’m not a local. Are you so sure that it’s not your people who stole it?”

Hearing this, Guyue Dao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Ran with a sharp gaze. “Do you think I came to look for you because of the Black Shadow Saber?”

Lin Ran was puzzled. “Isn’t that so?”

“… Not exactly. I’m here for my disciple. His name is Wu Yun.”

Guyue Dao shook his head and began to look at Lin Ran with a complicated expression, as if he was looking forward to something, but also seemed to be filled with hatred.

However, when he saw that Lin Ran didn’t seem to remember, Guyue Dao’s expression darkened. “You don’t remember Wu Yun?”

“Uh…”

Lin Ran pursed his lips and nodded honestly. He had never heard of this name before, so how could he remember?

“Good, good! Good!”

Guyue Dao said “good” three times in a row, his expression suddenly became ferocious. “In that case, I don’t have to show you mercy!”
