Chapter 914: Chapter 0914: Pie in the Sky

The two exchanged pleasantries briefly before Wuweizi left.

Luo Yang then entered the room where Hong Jiaxin was and, after comforting her, went to call Zhu Zishan and the others over.

He saw Hong Jiaxin sitting blankly on the edge of the bed, her empty eyes staring at the floor, lost in her thoughts.

Luo Yang understood that she wasn’t in a good mood.

When she noticed Luo Yang coming in, Hong Jiaxin snapped back to reality and stood up.

Seeing the redness around her eyes, Luo Yang stepped closer.

His emotions were complicated.

As a classmate, as a friend, when Hong Jiaxin was in trouble, he should do his utmost to help her.

It wasn’t that Luo Yang didn’t want to help—his current abilities were simply limited.

He was already doing everything he could, yet the progress was barely visible.

He had promised to help her find her parents, but there had been no substantial breakthroughs.

This left Hong Jiaxin feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Still, she knew Luo Yang wasn’t deliberately withholding help—it was just that he couldn’t manage certain things yet.

Seeing her sorrow, Luo Yang felt uncomfortable as well.

She was usually a cheerful and lively girl.

Ever since her parents disappeared, Hong Jiaxin had become somewhat withdrawn.

She often sat quietly in some secluded corner, zoning out for long stretches of time.

Those who truly understood her, like Luo Yang, knew that she was likely lost in thoughts of her parents.

Those who didn’t know better might even think she had mental health issues.

Now, seeing her so sad and despondent again, Luo Yang felt deep pity for her.

Sometimes, saying nothing might be the better choice.

But he wanted to comfort her; he believed that over time, he could help her reunite with her parents.

Of course, he wasn’t entirely certain about the chances, but the possibility was there.

When someone is in pain, they need to see hope—only then can their mood improve.

Luo Yang wanted to give her a little hope.

Even if it was just an illusion, it could make her feel less distressed for the time being.

Luo Yang comforted her, saying, "Class rep, don’t worry. I’ll help you find your parents. It won’t take long."

Hong Jiaxin raised her delicate face, pursed her red lips, and said hoarsely, "Then hurry up and take me to see my parents!"

Mo Shuo didn’t even know the specific whereabouts of the Hong Zhong Couple; even if he did, he wouldn’t dare go without consideration.

From what Luo Yang had gathered, the Hong Zhong Couple were most likely at the Eight Immortals Hall’s headquarters.

Zhang Jing was from the provincial capital, so Luo Yang guessed the Eight Immortals Hall’s headquarters might be located there.

At one point, Luo Yang had considered going to the provincial capital to investigate the Eight Immortals Hall’s headquarters, but the idea only led to more complications.

If they didn’t go to see the Hong Zhong Couple, Hong Jiaxin would undoubtedly make a fuss.

If they did go, there was no guarantee they could return safely.

From his phone calls with Hong Zhong, Luo Yang had sensed his reluctance for his daughter to seek him out.

As for why, Luo Yang couldn’t figure it out.

Perhaps it was because visiting them would involve great danger, and as a father, Hong Zhong naturally didn’t want his daughter to face life-threatening risks.

Yet from various clues, it seemed the Eight Immortals Hall’s attitude toward Hong Jiaxin was surprisingly courteous.

There was no hint that the Eight Immortals Hall intended to harm her.

Looking solely at how Master Hua treated Hong Jiaxin, it reflected this clearly.

If the Eight Immortals Hall genuinely wanted to eliminate Hong Jiaxin, truthfully, Luo Yang wouldn’t be able to protect her entirely.

The problem before him now, however, was this: the Hong Zhong Couple didn’t want their daughter to see them, but Hong Jiaxin was desperate to reunite with her parents.

Luo Yang was caught between a rock and a hard place.

He wanted to fulfill Hong Jiaxin’s wish, but he also wanted to uphold the promise he made to Hong Zhong.

These two aims were in conflict, and he had to choose one over the other.

Hong Jiaxin’s emotions were highly unstable—if he kept trying to dissuade her, it would only make her more agitated.

Sometimes, the best outcomes come from doing things counterintuitively.

Luo Yang said:

"Class rep, I will never let you down. We don’t have wings to fly there, so even if we go, it will take time. Let’s first consider how to get there."
