Ronan raised an eyebrow. Now that was a startling turn:
If he remembered correctly, this storefront was where Wu Jun and Bo Luo lived. So who was the cloaked figure coming out of it?
Luo Yuan?
Of those connected to Wu Jun and her son, and important enough to have caught Jin Buhuan's attention back then, Luo Yuan was by far the likeliest. Yet when Wu Jun had spoken about Luo Yuan at the Relay Station recently, she had never mentioned meeting him face-to-face during that period.
So Luo Yuan had gone to U-Cave Market without Wu Jun knowing? Just to see his son?
In 1994, Bo Luo had only been three. He might not even remember it.
Wu Jun had been traveling between Ban City and Spring City, so it would have been easy for her to miss him—and Luo Yuan might not have wanted her to know.
But that was still only a guess. After turning it over in his mind, Ronan let Old Jin continue. "I wanted to find out what he was about, so I followed him all the way to the Volcanic Zone. I saw him seize a queen ant nest at the Fire God Ant Nest, then come here..."
Ronan frowned. As Old Jin's recollection continued, the scene on either side of the passage shifted rapidly, from U-Cave Market to the Fire God Ant Nest, then to the Volcanic Zone above their heads.
By then, the man had long since discarded his concealing cloak, and Ronan could see his lean, sharply muscled face.
Luo Yuan. It was Luo Yuan, all right.
Had his appearance before Jin Buhuan back then been a coincidence, or part of a scheme?
If it had been a scheme, and taking everything else into account, did that mean Luo Yuan
