If there were any strangers Han Sen cared about, Blind Man was one of them.
When he first met Blind Man, he gave him a book from the Primal Innocence Sect. At first, Han Sen didn't think much of it, but then Blind Man sent him a three-legged cauldron with the Nine-Life Cat engraved on it. That made Han Sen feel like something was wrong.
If Blind Man was from Blood Legion, why would he send something like that to Han Sen?
Han Sen didn't understand.
Blind Man's identity scared Han Sen. According to the Xuan Men's heir, Blood Legion was an ancient faction with real elites. Even he had warned Han Sen to be careful. Han Sen didn't want to let his guard down.
Blind Man walked past Han Sen without looking at Han Sen. He lowered his voice and said, "Follow me."
Han Sen frowned, but he still followed Blind Man. They were in the Alliance, and unless they went to a private place, they wouldn't be in much danger.
Fortunately, Blind Man wasn't going anywhere private, so Han Sen didn't hesitate to follow him. After taking a different path, they walked into a fully automated buffet restaurant. After swiping his card, they found a quiet corner and sat down.
"Why did you send me a cauldron?" Han Sen asked Blind Man.
Blind Man smiled and said something that surprised Han Sen, "I wasn't sending you something. I was saving your life."
He frowned and said, "Cut the crap. I don't have time to listen to your bullshit. If you want to talk about something, then talk about something useful."
Blind wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "I'm not joking. That thing can really save your life. You have to keep it. Before you become a demi-god, eat that thing inside."
"You think I'll eat it?"
Han Sen didn't think Blind Man was crazy. He didn't think Blind Man would eat something like that, and he thought it might have something to do with Blood Legion.
"Yes." Blind nodded his head with certainty.
Han Sen laughed coldly and said, "Then you just wait."
After that, Han Sen stood up and prepared to leave. Although he wanted to know more about Blood Legion and who Blind Man was, Blind Man didn't seem to want to talk to him. If he didn't want to talk to someone who didn't want to talk to him, there was no point in talking to him.
"I won't stop you if you want to leave, but you should at least look at this." Blind Man looked as if he wasn't afraid Han Sen would leave.
Han Sen looked back, and what he saw made his pupils shrink. His whole body froze, as if he had been paralyzed. His eyes stared at Blind Man, who was pressing down on something.
The blind man's fingers were very rough, short, and thick. It was a very powerful hand, and under his middle finger, there was a ring. It was a very ordinary ring made of precious metal and embedded with a gemstone. The ring was bright silver, and the bean-sized gemstone was transparent and colorless like a diamond.
It wasn't a very special ring. Even in the Alliance, it was just an ordinary ring, let alone in the sanctuaries.
But Han Sen recognized the ring because his mother had one. For as long as he could remember, his mother had never taken it off. It was the wedding ring of his mother and father.
The shape of this ring was very similar to his mother's ring, but it was slightly bigger. Han Sen vaguely remembered that when he was young, his father always wore this ring on his finger.
Blind Man saw Han Sen freeze, so he slowly pushed the ring with his middle finger. He pushed the ring to the edge of the table near Han Sen, and then took his hand back.
Han Sen grabbed the ring and looked inside. He saw the words "Love Mist" engraved on it. Han Sen's face changed again.
He remembered this word. When he was young, his father took him to the back garden of the old house to dig a fish pond. He didn't want to dirty the ring, so he took it off and gave it to Han Sen.
At that time, Han Sen didn't know many words. He knew the words "Love" and "Love", but he didn't know the word "Mist". He asked his father how to pronounce the word.
His father told Han Sen that the word "Mist" represented his mother. After Han Sen learned more words, he felt it was strange. His mother's name was Luo Sulan, which meant orchid. Why would his father's ring have the word "Mist" engraved on it?
It wasn't until a few years ago that Han Sen learned his mother's real name was Luo Lan, which meant "Mist".
But because Han Sen was too young at that time, he only had a vague impression. He couldn't tell if the ring in his hand was the same one.
"What is this?" Han Sen stared at Blind Man. He didn't want to say anything, so Blind Man didn't want to pry information out of him.
Blind Man laughed. His voice was a little hoarse, but it wasn't the hoarse voice of an old man. It was more like a voice that was damaged from excessive smoking and drinking.
"If you don't know what it is, you can show it to Luo Lan. She'll recognize it."
Han Sen's heart skipped a beat. He stared at Blind Man for a while, then said, "Is this why you came looking for me?"
"The owner of this ring told me to tell you that before you become a demi-god, you have to eat what's in the furnace," Blind Man said.
"Why?
Because of this?
So what if it's the same ring? "
Han Sen looked at the blind man coldly. He was no longer at the age where he was easily agitated. Let alone a ring, even if his father were to walk in front of him alive, he would first check to see if it was real or fake.
The blind man sighed softly and then said leisurely, "Do you know what color a cat is?"
Han Sen was shocked. He didn't know what Blind Man meant by that. There were many cats in the world, and he didn't know what color a cat was.
"Is this a secret code of Blood Legion?
I'm not a member of Blood Legion, so there's no point in telling me this, "Han Sen said.
The blind man shook his head and said to himself, "Cats are blue because someone dyed them blue."
When Han Sen heard Blind Man say this, he felt his head explode. It was like countless explosions were going off inside his head. His mind went blank, and he was unable to think.
When Han Sen was young, he had a white cat at home. It was an impure Bose cat, and it was fat and big. It spent all day in the yard, basking in the sun. No matter how much Han Sen tried to play with it, it was still lazy.
Once, on a whim, Han Sen dyed the cat blue with the paint he learned from painting. At that time, his father was the only one at home. He was furious and scolded Han Sen, saying that he should never touch the old cat again because it was his great-grandfather's legacy.
That was the first time Han Sen had seen his father lose his temper, so he remembered it clearly.
But a few days after that, the old cat died of an illness. Han Sen was sad for a long time, thinking he might have been the cause of the old cat's death.
