Bab 73: What Was the Empress Hiding?

"There's something you're not telling me."

Lin Ran went straight to the point and said in a firm tone.

Almost at the same time, he saw a trace of panic flash across the empress's eyes.

The panic disappeared in a flash. The empress curled her lips and revealed a playful expression. "What nonsense are you talking about? In this palace, I trust you and Qiyun the most. Why would I hide anything from you?"

Lin Ran didn't say anything and just stared at the empress with a fierce expression.

This was a technique he had just learned from Huo Qiyun. He named it "Pressure of Silence".

Even though the Ten Miles Sword God had an extraordinary status, he was not omniscient. Most of the time, he had to obtain some information through asking.

As expected, the empress only lasted for half a minute under the pressure.

"You're cheating!"
