บท 119: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

On the stone staircase of the Hidden Sword Pavilion's secret room.

Lin Ran slowly walked down the stone staircase step by step. Behind him were a few standard swords that were hanging in the air and pressing against his back. A few more steps back was Xiao Huai, who was holding a rattle drum with a vigilant expression.

After walking down dozens of steps, Xiao Huai finally couldn't help but ask, "We've been walking for a long time. How far is it?"

"About… seven to eight miles?"

Lin Ran thought for a moment and said, "These swords are pressed against my back. I don't dare to use my internal energy, so I can only walk."

"Then take your time."

Xiao Huai replied in a low voice with a hint of smugness in her tone, "Don't get smart with me. If I find out that you use any internal energy, I'll kill you immediately!"

"Threatening me isn't gonna get us anywhere."

Lin Ran chuckled without looking back. In fact, he was extremely nervous.
