Chapter 547: Temporary Custody

"The Bloodthirsty Sword?" Lin Yun slightly furrowed his brows without responding.

It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but rather he was aware that revealing his background as relatively unremarkable could cause the old man to change his attitude towards him.

However, if he lied, the disparity in their Mental Strength would reveal his deceit.

Thus, he felt it best to remain silent.

"It seems that you stumbled upon the Bloodthirsty Sword by chance and do not know of its origins," noticing Lin Yun's reactions, the old man softened his tone and inferred.

In fact, Lin Yun had guessed incorrectly.

Just by virtue of Lin Yun hailing from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, the old man dared not treat him poorly – he lacked connections?

Whether one had powerful connections wasn't always clear, perhaps some influential figure from the Immortal Origin Holy Land had taken an interest in Lin Yun, unbeknownst to him?
