286 Unfounded Hatred

Actually, at this point, Lin Ran could roughly guess what happened at that time. However, Ye Jin seemed to have the urge to confide in him, so Lin Ran let her continue.

“On the day we received the imperial edict, our house suddenly became lively. It was as if everyone in the city had come. Father said that they were here to congratulate us, but I could tell that a large portion of them were here to make fun of my father.”

“A qualified saber has to be tempered thousands of times. On the first day, my father didn’t eat or sleep at all. He only made six saber embryos, and it will take at least a few days to temper and polish these six saber embryos.”

At this point, Ye Jin’s expression suddenly became sad, as if she had thought of something she didn’t want to remember. “My father had no choice but to find someone else to help him.”

!!

“But those people all used all kinds of reasons to refuse. Only Uncle Zhao is willing to help because those people also know that it’s impossible to forge 300 famous sabers in three days!”

“These despicable people. My father usually helped them so much, but when my father needed help, they all turned a blind eye! When I grow up…”

Hearing that Ye Jin was going off topic, Lin Ran asked, “So what method did your father use?”

“He used a very dangerous material.”

Ye Jin returned to the topic and said in a low voice, “I don’t know what that material is called. My father didn’t tell me. When he and Uncle Zhao were forging the saber, he even sent me to Uncle Zhao’s house.”

“On the evening of the third day, the emperor sent someone to take away 300 famous sabers. Everyone in the city was shocked. When I came out of Uncle Zhao’s house, everyone on the street was talking about this. I returned home ecstatically, but I found… found…”-

At this point, Ye Jin’s eyes instantly turned red. She raised her head and tried her best to stop her tears from falling, but she couldn’t say the rest no matter what.

“Sigh…”

Lin Ran sighed softly. Although this matter had almost nothing to do with him, he couldn’t help but feel bad when he saw Ye Jin like this.

“Don’t be too sad. I…”

Lin Ran reached out to pat Ye Jin’s shoulder, but before he could do it, Ye Jin suddenly pounced into his arms and buried her face in his chest, crying.

“You bad person! It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault!”

Ye Jin cursed incoherently as she punched Lin Ran’s chest with her small fists, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances and anger in her heart.

“Sigh…”

Lin Ran sighed again and patted Ye Jin’s back with one hand. He did not activate his internal energy to defend against her, but even so, the punch felt like it was tickling him.

After an unknown period of time, Ye Jin finally calmed down. She pushed Lin Ran away and walked to the side. When she returned after a while, she no longer looked like she had just cried.

“Now do you know what you’ve done?”

Ye Jin looked at Lin Ran coldly. “You murderer!”

Seeing that Ye Jin had turned hostile so quickly, Lin Ran was speechless. He pursed his lips and asked, “Let’s talk about you first. Do you know what happened at that time?”

“After that day, my father’s personality changed drastically… I asked Uncle Zhao, but he didn’t tell me why. He only told me to find a chance to leave the Iron City and never come back.”

Ye Jin replied awkwardly in a low voice, but as soon as she finished speaking, she returned to her domineering manner. “But no matter what happened at that time, it’s all your fault!”

“No.”

Lin Ran smiled bitterly and said with a hint of self-mockery, “Actually, this matter has nothing to do with me whatsoever.”

“Liar!”

Ye Jin waved her hand and shouted excitedly, “If the emperor didn’t want to deal with you, why would he ask my father to forge 300 famous sabers?”

“I don’t know, but he’s most likely not doing it to deal with me.”

Lin Ran shook his head, and his expression gradually became solemn. “Because in the war a while ago, there was a person in charge of stalling me. Your emperor knows about this, so he definitely won’t build a team especially for me.”

The reason why the Great Yong Dynasty dared to start a war was partly because they had Liu Hongshan as their trump card, and partly because they were sure that Lin Ran would not step into the battlefield.

Therefore, after he and Liu Hongshan temporarily reconciled, the war inexplicably ended. Although this was what Liu Hongshan had promised, Lin Ran never thought that Liu Hongshan had such power in the Great Yong Dynasty to call off a war.

However, if the Great Yong Dynasty withdrew their troops because they were afraid of Lin Ran, then all of this made sense.

Back to the main topic—Xuan Wushang knew that Liu Hongshan would hold Lin Ran back, so he didn’t hesitate to invade the border. In that case, why did he need to form a team of 300 well-equipped soldiers to deal with him?

As soon as these questions were asked, Ye Jin stopped talking.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t answer the questions, but she didn’t understand at all. There was too much scheming and infighting involved. Even Lin Ran took a long time to figure it out, let alone this inexperienced little girl.

Seeing Ye Jin’s confused expression, Lin Ran realized that what he said was too complicated. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “You’re a martial artist now. Do you have a concept of the realms?”

Ye Jin nodded. Lin Ran said in a low voice, “To be honest, I’m now at the sixth level of the Half-Saint Realm. If your emperor wants to send people to deal with me, what realm do those 300 soldiers have to be in? How can martial artists in that realm not have their own sabers?”

This time, Ye Jin understood. Even if she was only a low-level martial artist now, she knew what the Half-Saint Realm meant.

There was a world of difference between the Grandmaster Realm and the Half-Saint Realm.

If the emperor’s target was really Lin Ran, the martial artists in this team would at least need to be at the first level of the Half-Saint Realm. However, were there 300 Half-Saints in the Great Yong Dynasty?

After figuring this out, Ye Jin immediately looked a little at a loss. She had held on to her hatred for so long, but in the end, she realized that she hated the wrong person. Who should she hate then?

“Don’t think too much about it.”

Lin Ran patted Ye Jin’s shoulder and tried his best to sound relaxed. “Let us adults worry about all the fighting and killing. Children have to be happy.”

“I’m not a child anymore!”

Ye Jin slapped Lin Ran’s hand away, her childish face filled with determination. “Can you teach me how to cu
