Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible - Chapter 336 - 336 Wealth Comes From Risk

336 Wealth Comes From Risk

When the piece of Fluttering Cloud slipped into his sleeve, Lin Ran couldn’t help but tremble. An ecstasy surged from the bottom of his heart like a fountain. His guess was right! That was indeed what Cloud Breaking Slash was about!

The so-called “Cloud Breaking Slash” was not a cultivation technique or saber manual at all, but something similar to an instruction manual.

This manual was for the number one saber in the “Famous Saber Manual”, the supreme treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Great Yong Dynasty’s royal family—Fluttering Cloud!

Looking at Fluttering Cloud that was moving without wind, Lin Ran was overcome with excitement. Now that he knew how to control Fluttering Cloud, he could even strip it of “Chen Tianqi’s” body if he wanted to.

Now, this famous saber that had once given him a headache was no longer a threat to him.

However, Lin Ran was not in a hurry to snatch it from “Chen Tianqi”. The ecstasy in his heart was perfectly concealed by his expression.

Lin Ran shook “Chen Tianqi’s” hand a few times. After letting go, he turned around and held Sun Ge’s hand. “Happy cooperation!”

Sun Ge nodded awkwardly, as if he was not used to holding hands with a man.

After retracting his hand, Sun Ge asked with a serious expression, “Since it’s a cooperation, I’ll be straightforward with you. We both need each other’s help in our plans, so it’s impossible for us to carry out our plans at once. So, which plan do you want to carry out first?”

Lin Ran was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought of this before. After all, even the cooperation was a spur-of-the-moment idea he had last night.

Seeing that Lin Ran was silent, Sun Ge sighed and said tentatively, “My suggestion is that you help us first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Ge became visibly nervous.

However, to Sun Ge’s surprise, Lin Ran was not angry when he heard this suggestion. Instead, he looked interested. “Why?”

“Here is what I think…”

Although Sun Ge didn’t know what Lin Ran was thinking, he still explained his thoughts as succinctly as possible. “If you kick us to the curb when we’ve outlived our usefulness after dealing with Liu Hongshan. We can’t do anything to you.”

“That’s true.”

Lin Ran nodded noncommittally, and the expression of interest on his face became more obvious. “But what if you turn your back on me after I help you?”

“Then you can kill us or destroy everything we’ve worked so hard to obtain.”

Sun Ge smiled sadly and looked at Lin Ran with helplessness and despair. “You’re so strong. This kind of thing… is nothing to you.”

Lin Ran smiled and didn’t say anything. This reaction made Sun Ge nervous again because even though their cooperation was established, he still didn’t feel that Lin Ran needed his help.

No one would be willing to lower themselves to cooperate with people weaker than them, and Lin Ran was naturally no exception.

The strange silence lasted for a few minutes. Just as Sun Ge was about to break the silence, Lin Ran finally nodded. “Tell me, who do you want to kill?”

Sun Ge blinked, as if he couldn’t believe what he had heard. He asked in ecstasy, “So you agree?”

“It’s a piece of cake anyway.”

Lin Ran waved his hand indifferently and said, “Although I can kill Liu Hongshan without you, if doing something small can make things easier for me, why not?”

After a pause, Lin Ran sized up the two of them with a playful gaze and chuckled. “Besides, I don’t feel guilty about killing people from the Great Yong Dynasty.”

Sun Ge took a step forward and said seriously, “You’ve misunderstood. We don’t want you to kill anyone. It’s enough to take them away and lock them up so that our plan can be carried out smoothly.”

“Huh? I don’t have to kill anyone?”

Lin Ran looked disappointed and turned to look at the silent “Chen Tianqi”. “You don’t intend to kill anyone either?”

“Chen Tianqi” didn’t say anything and only nodded expressionlessly.

“Fine.”

Lin Ran shrugged helplessly. Then, he thought of something and added, “By the way, let me make it clear first. I’ll try my best not to kill anyone, but if someone doesn’t know what’s good for them and fights me, I won’t be responsible if I accidentally kill a few of them.”

Sun Ge and “Chen Tianqi” looked at each other and nodded helplessly. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was obvious. Lin Ran had already made a concession. If they continued to push their luck, they would regret it.

Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Lin Ran clapped his hands. “I’ve said everything I need to say. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. Later, write a list of the people you want to capture and send it to the Ye family.”

With that, Lin Ran turned around and left. He had promised Ye Jin that he would look for her in fifteen minutes. Now, it was almost time.

Sun Ge and “Chen Tianqi” stood rooted to the ground and watched silently. Only when Lin Ran’s figure disappeared into the distance did Sun Ge look at “Chen Tianqi”. “Isn’t this… a little too risky?”

“Chen Tianqi” smiled disapprovingly. “Wealth comes from risk.”

Sun Ge sighed with a solemn expression and muttered to himself, “Wealth comes from risk, but it’s also lost in risk”

“Chen Tianqi” raised his hand, and a wisp of fog separated from Fluttering Cloud and floated to Sun Ge’s shoulder. “There’s nothing we can do about it. At the very least, compared to those people, Lin Ran is more predictable… At least, he has his own bottom line.”

Hearing the words “those people”, Sun Ge seemed to perk up. “How’s the situation on your side? The last step is about to begin. Nothing should go wrong at this time.”

“Don’t worry, everything is fine on my end.”

“Chen Tianqi” revealed a comforting smile and said in a subtle tone, “The people of the other five countries are already in position. When they die, no one will know that we did this.”

Sun Ge still sighed with a complicated expression. “I hope so…”
