Chapter 918: Chapter 0918: The Background of the First Wife

While chatting, they arrived in front of a villa.

This was a resort, comprising shops and areas designated for hotels and lodging.

The villa appeared more upscale than the hotels, likely reserved for hosting distinguished guests.

Master Hua was considered a VIP, so the Blood Devil Sect was careful not to slight him.

"Elder, you’re too much of a sycophant."

"Buddy, if you want to stay in a place like this, I can have it arranged anytime!"

"Just joking. Is he inside?"

About to meet Master Hua, Luo Yang felt a tinge of nervousness.

After all, Master Hua had attempted multiple times to attack people, stopping only because Hua XiYi was present to intervene.

Now that Hua XiYi wasn’t here, there was no guarantee Master Hua wouldn’t resort to violence.

Luo Yang hadn’t yet experienced Master Hua’s combat skills, so he didn’t know how formidable he really was.

However, judging by the respect the two Blood Devil Sect elders showed towards Master Hua, it was evident he wasn’t just some ordinary practitioner.

Moreover, the Eight Immortals Hall likely practiced techniques to counter Yin Spirits, which made Luo Yang uneasy.

When Luo Yang first learned Shadow Fist, he thought he was nearly invincible.

But later he realized that if an opponent knew techniques to counter Yin Spirits, Shadow Fist would become useless.

Seeing Elder Wuweizi nod, Luo Yang softly asked, "Elder, does he live alone?"

Wuweizi replied casually, "Buddy, if you’re scared, I’ll accompany you inside. How’s that?"

In truth, Luo Yang was merely trying to gauge how many people from the Eight Immortals Hall were present.

Dealing with Master Hua alone was vexing enough—if he had accomplices, getting his hands on the Blood Devil would become far more difficult.

"Elder, no need. I’ll head in. Catch up with you later," Luo Yang said.

By then, they had reached the villa’s entrance.

Although Wuweizi wanted to stay, Luo Yang firmly expressed that he didn’t need company, forcing Wuweizi to leave.

Luo Yang had half-expected Master Hua to greet him in pajamas, but instead, he was still dressed in the same outfit he wore earlier, indicating he hadn’t gone to bed.

Once inside the villa’s living room, the atmosphere grew oppressively heavy.

From Master Hua’s grim expression alone, it was clear he was ready to get physical at any moment.

Previously, in the courtyard’s living room, Master Hua had tried to attack Luo Yang several times. Now that it was just the two of them, Luo Yang felt rather tense.

"Looking to fight?"

Master Hua’s opening line was a question full of provocation.

As he spoke, he lit a cigarette, smoking leisurely, yet his gaze on Luo Yang was blatantly hostile.

"If I wanted a fight, wouldn’t I come looking for you secretly?"

Luo Yang sneered.

His point was that if a fight were truly his intention, he’d likely bring Laughing Girl along for backup.

His eyes swept across a low tea table in the living room, noticing two cups sitting on it, each filled with water.

If Master Hua lived alone, he wouldn’t use two cups.

Judging by the placement of the cups, it was clear they were used by two different people.

"Is this tea meant for me?"

With that question, Luo Yang reached for one of the cups.

It was still warm!

He confirmed that the freshly boiled water had been poured into the cup not long ago; it was still around thirty degrees Celsius!

In other words, there was someone else in the villa!

Dealing with Master Hua alone was already an uphill battle for Luo Yang.

If Master Hua teamed up with another ally, Luo Yang couldn’t guarantee he’d make it out alive.

Master Hua’s expression suddenly darkened further, tinged with rage.

From his furious, humiliated demeanor, Luo Yang could tell Master Hua knew exactly what Luo Yang was implying.

"If you’ve got something to say, spit it out! Before my patience runs out, you’d best keep your wits about you!" Master Hua’s tone grew colder with every word.

Luo Yang hadn’t come here to argue or brawl with Master Hua.

His main objectives were to probe why the Eight Immortals Hall was so intent on obtaining Hong Jiaxin and to see if he could extract any secrets about Mu Tan from Master Hua.

But Luo Yang also wanted to find out who else had entered the villa—after all, his life could hinge on it.

Still, priorities mattered. Judging by Master Hua’s impatient demeanor, it was clear this wasn’t the place for long-winded discussions.

Luo Yang decided to stick to the crucial questions.

"Hong Jiaxin is my wife. Got a problem with that?"

As soon as Luo Yang said this, Master Hua’s gaze turned murderous.

Anyone uninformed might have thought Luo Yang had seduced Master Hua’s girlfriend to provoke such rage.

But Hong Jiaxin had never met Master Hua before—there shouldn’t be any significant connection between them.

In Luo Yang’s opinion, it seemed more likely that the Eight Immortals Hall had an unusual relationship with Hong Jiaxin.

"I’ll say this once: if you touch her again, you’ll die without a grave to bury you!"

Each word Master Hua uttered was brimming with fury.

Arguing with him at this point would inevitably lead to a fight.

Luo Yang wasn’t scared of him, but causing a commotion now might lead to even bigger troubles.

Luo Yang’s sole purpose in arriving at Tianjiang City was to obtain the Blood Devil.

Encountering Master Hua and Laughing Girl was an unexpected complication.

Although Luo Yang hadn’t yet mastered the Third Level of Soul Ferry in Shadow Fist, he still didn’t fear Master Hua.

Having faced numerous perilous situations, Luo Yang was now adequately seasoned and capable in handling such scenarios.

In a tenuous situation like this, such as now, Luo Yang chose to adopt a soft approach.

"Brother, allow me to be blunt. She’s my wife, so it’s my duty to ask. If you tell me the reason, I promise to act according to your wishes."

It was as reasonable a request as one could make.

Still, Master Hua wasn’t buying it.

"You’re not qualified to know! If you want to live, stay away from her!" Master Hua warned.

"Now that’s odd! My wife, and I’m not qualified to ask? You’ve got to be joking!"

Luo Yang knew that sometimes one had to be firm.

If he had reason and raised his voice slightly, it wouldn’t immediately spark a violent clash.

Luo Yang’s argument made perfect sense—even the most unreasonable person would have to admit he wasn’t looking for a fight.

"All you need to know is that you don’t deserve her. Stay out of her business and live your life. Otherwise, you’ll end up dead on the streets!"

This statement shocked Luo Yang.

"Don’t deserve her?"

What did that mean?

In terms of looks, Luo Yang was undeniably handsome.

Of course, if you compared academic achievements, he truly wasn’t a match for Hong Jiaxin.

She was a top student, while he was more of a slacker.

However, judging by Master Hua’s remarks, it seemed to imply something beyond academics—something about social standing.

Now that was curious.

To Luo Yang’s knowledge, Hong Jiaxin’s family background was middle-class—definitely better off than his own.

But that was in the past.

Ever since Luo Yang obtained the Shennong Scripture, his personal status had skyrocketed, earning both respect and admiration.

Even his family had gained recognition and greater economic success, visible to everyone in their village.

No one dared to claim Luo Yang didn’t deserve Hong Jiaxin, no matter how beautiful she was.

The more Master Hua refused to explain, the more Luo Yang’s curiosity grew.

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

There’s some truth to that.

But standing right in front of an opportunity to unravel this mystery, not asking would leave an unbearable itch of curiosity.

In an instant, Luo Yang smirked coldly and said, "Don’t deserve her? What do you mean? Is she a queen? Do you know her the way I do?"

From Master Hua’s remarks, it was clear he had an in-depth understanding of Hong Jiaxin and her family.

Luo Yang decided to use a little provocation to get Master Hua to spill the truth.

But Master Hua was extraordinarily cautious. Though seething with rage, he refused to let even a tiny detail slip.
