Chapter 204 - 204 Grandmasters Are Not Worth Much



Lin Ran waved his hand and gestured for the empress to come closer. He lowered his voice and said, “Did you notice that when she introduced herself just now, she said that her identity here is Liu Ruxi.”

The empress’s eyes lit up. “You mean…”

Lin Ran nodded and interrupted the empress. “I don’t know which side she’s on, but from what she said, she has other identities in other places, or rather, outside Nanjiang Town.”

After a pause, Lin Ran continued, “Moreover, I think deep down, she’s still biased towards the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. She must have her reasons for doing everything she does now.”

“How so?”

“She was once a general of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty and your mother. I don’t know how deep her feelings for the dynasty are, but they’re definitely much deeper than mine.”

Lin Ran said softly, his eyes subconsciously glancing at the door. “If she really betrayed the Heavenly Saint Dynasty and your father, someone would have come in to catch us now.”

The empress instantly realized that although the others in Nanjiang Town might not know who she was, Liu Ruxi definitely did.

Capturing the current emperor of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty alive would mean a great deal.

After figuring this out, the empress immediately felt less sad. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when she realized that Lin Ran’s expression had suddenly changed.

“I think I was wrong.”

The faint smile on Lin Ran’s face instantly disappeared. He looked at the door solemnly. “Someone is really here to catch us.”

The empress’s expression changed. Immediately after that, the door was pushed open and a white figure rushed in like the wind!

This person was so fast that even Lin Ran couldn’t keep up with him.

However, Lin Ran did not show any vigilance. He only stood there quietly with the empress behind him because before the other party entered, he had already confirmed that his cultivation was at the first level of the Grandmaster Realm. He was not a threat.

It was a young man who looked even younger than Huo Qiyun. He was holding a wooden tray with a few simple dishes on it.

“What does this mean?”

Lin Ran asked in a calm voice. Although the person in front of him looked very young, most martial artists had the ability to retain their youth, so their actual age was much older than what they looked.

“I brought you some food. You haven’t had a good rest after eloping for so many days. You must not have eaten well, right?”

The young man raised the tray and smiled. As soon as he spoke, Lin Ran recognized him as the “left figure” from before.

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Lin Ran relaxed a lot. He took the tray and said gratefully, “Thank you so much… You’re still on duty so late at night. Do you want to eat together?”

“I just ate.”

The young man waved his hand with a bright smile on his face. “Right? Didn’t I say that you’ll be fine? That blockhead is still arguing with me… Hurry up and eat. I still have to make fun of him after bringing the plate back.”

“Ah, okay.”

Lin Ran nodded, but he felt a little strange. Not only did this young man look young, but his temperament was also that of a child. However, would someone who had entered the Grandmaster Realm really be so naive?

As he thought about this, Lin Ran had already placed the tray on the table. There was a small table in the corner of the room, but it was enough for the two of them to eat. Then, he called the empress over to eat.

The empress did not know what was going on here, so she did not say anything. After sitting down, she ate in silence.

Lin Ran’s mind raced. After thinking for a moment, he pointed at an empty seat at the table and said to the young man who was still standing at the door, “Don’t stand there. If you don’t want to eat, sit down and rest for a while.”

The young man looked back as if he was afraid of being discovered. After closing the door, he came to the table and sat down. As soon as he sat on the chair, he let out a comfortable sound with his eyes closed.

Seeing that he seemed like he hadn’t sat down for ages, Lin Ran inexplicably felt that he was quite cute. At the same time, the confusion in his heart intensified.

The two of them were complete strangers to this young man, but this young man was not guarded at all. This was definitely not the state of mind of a first level Grandmaster.

“How old are you?”

Lin Ran couldn’t help but ask directly. Afraid that the young man would be suspicious, he added, “I feel that your cultivation level isn’t low. You shouldn’t be just a patrol, right?”

“Me?”

The young man rolled his eyes, as if he didn’t really want to talk about this topic. “Seventeen. Eighteen next year.”

Clang!

Lin Ran’s hand trembled and his chopsticks fell onto the plate. The empress opposite him was also shocked. It was unheard of for a Grandmaster to be only 17 years old.

The young man suddenly sat up straight and heaved a sigh of relief. “It seems that you’re indeed travel-worn. You can’t even hold your chopsticks steadily.”

Lin Ran and the empress looked at each other and saw the same thing in each other’s eyes. “He’s a fool.”

“Yes, we haven’t rested properly for a few days.”

Lin Ran smiled awkwardly and picked up his chopsticks. “You’re already so powerful at the age of 17. You should be valued. Why are you patrolling here?”

“Am I very powerful?”

The young man frowned, his eyes filled with stupidity. “I just entered the Grandmaster Realm this year. It’s already considered very late in Nanjiang Town. Second Brother Huang, that blockhead, entered the Grandmaster Realm at the age of 15…”

At this point, the young man suddenly revealed a gloating expression. He leaned towards Lin Ran and whispered, “But he’s already 23 years old this year and is only at the third level of the Grandmaster Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be patrolling with me!”

“It seems that he’s indeed not as talented as you.”

Lin Ran smiled, but his heart was in turmoil!

Entering the Grandmaster Realm at the age of 15 would be considered a genius no matter where he was. Even if he entered the Grandmaster Realm at 17 years old, he would still be considered a talent.

For example, after Huo Qiyun displayed his talent in martial arts back then, he was praised as a rare genius in the Heavenly Saint Dynasty. However, after cultivating for decades, he was only at the ninth level of the Senior Martial Master Realm.

However, in Nanjiang Town, such a genius was actually reduced to a patrol. This could only mean one thing. Teenage grandmasters were not worth much in the Great Yong Dynasty, at least in Nanjiang Town.

Lin Ran didn’t know how this happened, but this discovery was enough to blow his mind.

Just as Lin Ran was trying to calm himself down, the young man suddenly looked at the empress and said something that shocked the two of them at the same time—

“This sister looks familiar…”
