226 The Scent of Paper Figures

Lu Ran's appearance caught the attention of many soldiers, who looked at him closely.

It was clear that many recognized him as Da Xia's genius.

After Chen Jingjing paid her respects to the gods, she went to negotiate with the soldiers.

Lu Ran, on the other hand, went straight to the trunk to fetch weapons.

"Are you okay?" A graceful figure approached him.

"Hm?" Lu Ran turned his head and saw the side profile of Jiang Ruyi.

Jiang Ruyi picked up the Silent Night Blade and looked at Lu Ran. "You've been very quiet all the way here."

Lu Ran silently nodded, sighing inwardly.

I'm not doing a very good job as a son, am I?

All along, his mother had been an immensely strong presence in his heart.

The sudden situation had caught him off guard, and unfortunately, he was too weak to do anything about it.

"Is it because of Auntie?" Jiang Ruyi came behind Lu Ran, helping him secure the scabbard of his blade.

"Yes." Lu Ran picked up the Dawn Blade and handed it behind him.
