325 Impersonation

Somewhere outside the Iron City.

Ye Shixiao and Ye Jin walked side by side. The young man who called himself Chen Tianqi walked in front silently. From time to time, he would stop for a moment as if he was sensing something, but he never said a word and never looked back at the father and daughter.

Even so, Ye Shixiao did not dare to act rashly. Although his cultivation level was not high, he could sense a wisp of divine sense lingering around. It was most likely used by the person to monitor them.

After walking in silence for about fifteen minutes, Ye Jin couldn’t help but ask, “Hey! Where exactly are you taking us?”

“I don’t know.”

The young man replied in a low voice without looking back. He did not stop walking, as if the person who spoke just now was not him at all.

Ye Jin and Ye Shixiao looked at each other with strange expressions. This person kidnapped them from their house in the middle of the night, but he didn’t know where he was taking them. Then what was the point of doing this?

After thinking for a moment, Ye Jin asked softly, “Could it be that someone wants to go to our house to find something, so they sent someone to bring us out?”

Ye Shixiao shook his head without thinking. “If that’s the case, they can just barge in. Without Lin Ran around, you and I can’t stop them.”

If that was not the case, Ye Jin really couldn’t understand what was going on.

Just as the two of them were feeling puzzled, the young man in front suddenly stopped.

Previously, he often stopped in his tracks, so Ye Jin and Ye Shixiao did not pay much attention to it. They stood still and waited quietly for the other party to continue. However, they realized that they had been waiting for nearly fifteen minutes.

During this period of time, that person did not move at all. The two of them could tell that something was wrong.

“Why aren’t you walking?”

Ye Shixiao looked around warily and probed, “Did something happen?”

The young man did not say anything and only waved at the two people behind him. Then, he tilted his head slightly, as if he was listening carefully to something. However, Ye Shixiao imitated him and listened carefully, only to hear a faint sound of wind.

“It seems that the ‘military communication method’ he said previously is not nonsense…”

Ye Shixiao muttered to himself thoughtfully. Then, he saw the young man straighten up and turn around to walk towards them.

“What happened?”

Ye Jin frowned and asked in confusion, “Did something happen?”

“The situation has changed.”

As the young man spoke, he walked up to the two of them and said softly with an indifferent expression, “You’re useless now.”

“We’re useless?”

Ye Jin and Ye Shixiao were stunned at the same time. Before they could understand what the other party meant, they heard a sharp clang. The young man unsheathed his saber at lightning speed and slashed at the two of them without saying anything!

The cold light was so fast that the two of them could only watch as the snow-white blade approached inch by inch.

At the critical moment, a strong wind suddenly tore through the air, and countless dazzling sparks exploded between the three of them. The saber made of steel was split into two, and then blood spewed out from the young man’s chest!

The violent force sent the young man’s thin body flying. After instantly flying more than 100 feet, he landed on the ground and rolled more than ten times before finally stopping. At this moment, only a second had passed since the young man unsheathed his saber.

The situation completely stunned Ye Jin and Ye Shixiao. They couldn’t figure out why the young man was the first to fly out.

“Phew—That was close! Fortunately, I made it in time!”

A shout came from behind.

When Ye Jin heard the familiar voice, she was stunned for a moment before turning around in disbelief. As expected, she saw Lin Ran standing behind her with a young man she didn’t know!

“Lin Ran.”

Ye Jin cheered and ran over to throw herself into Lin Ran’s arms. The fear and panic she had felt along the way finally dissipated, and two streams of tears immediately flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably!

“Boohoo… Why are you so late! I thought I would never see you again…”

Ye Jin buried her face in Lin Ran’s arms and cried loudly, as if he wanted to vent all her grievances. She wrapped her arms around Lin Ran’s waist tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, she would never see Lin Ran again.

When Huo Qiyun saw this scene, he smiled evilly and raised his eyebrows at Lin Ran. “No wonder you asked me to pick them up in such a hurry. It turns out that you found a delicate wife.”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Lin Ran glared at Huo Qiyun and forced a smile at Ye Shixiao, who had just walked over. “Elder Ye, I’m late. Are you guys alright?”

“I’m fine. Fortunately, you came in time.”

Ye Shixiao smiled and looked at Huo Qiyun. “Is this your friend?”

“Yes, his name is Huo Qiyun.”

As Lin Ran patted Ye Jin’s back, he introduced Huo Qiyun to the two of them. “Qiyun, this is Elder Ye Shixiao. He’s a famous saber forging master from the Iron City.”

“Greetings, Elder Ye!”

When Huo Qiyun heard this, he immediately bowed. Even though he saw the serious burn on Ye Shixiao’s face, his face did not show any repulsion.

This reaction made Ye Shixiao have a good impression of him. After returning the greeting with the etiquette of the Great Yong Dynasty, he looked at Lin Ran and asked in confusion, “Why are you here? Could it be that you really sent that person?”

“I sent him?”

Lin Ran was stunned when he heard this. He pointed at Huo Qiyun and said, “I only asked him to send you out of the city, but when he arrived at your house, it was already empty.”

“I thought that you felt that the situation was dangerous, so you brought Ye Jin away first. We came out of the city to find you. I didn’t expect to meet that person who wanted to harm you, so I saved you.”

After Lin Ran finished speaking, Huo Qiyun nodded to show that he was right. However, even without him as a witness, Ye Shixiao wouldn’t doubt Lin Ran’s words.

After a pause, Ye Shixiao briefly explained the situation on his side.

Hearing that someone had taken the father and daughter away in his name, Lin Ran couldn’t help but look angry. After all, if he hadn’t arrived in time, the father and daughter would probably have blamed him for this!

“This guy is really despicable!”

Lin Ran gritted his teeth and cursed, “How dare he use my name to deceive others? He’s going too far!”

At the side, Huo Qiyun sneered when he heard this. “What right do you have to say such things? Didn’t you use my name to deceive people as well?”

“That’s not the same thing…”

Lin Ran waved his hand awkwardly. Then, he handed Ye Jin, who had calmed down, to Ye Shixiao. Then, he rushed towards the young man who was sent flying by his sword. He wanted to see who this guy was!
