Chapter 919: Chapter 0919: The Family of the First Wife

Judging by Master Hua’s words and actions, Hong Jiaxin seems extremely important to the Eight Immortals Hall.

This is a big deal.

If it were a small matter, Master Hua might have already revealed the reason.

"You, a mere ordinary mortal, are no better than a fly in front of me! Before I make a move, scram!"

Master Hua’s eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light.

Anyone else would probably be scared out of their wits upon seeing it.

But unfortunately for him, Luo Yang was no ordinary person. With a soul beast residing inside him, he was long accustomed to such sights.

Although he wasn’t confident about defeating Master Hua, if the man dared to strike, Luo Yang wouldn’t back down either.

"Originally, I wanted to make a deal with you. You tell me about my first wife, and I’ll help you find the Blood Devil."

With a cold laugh, Luo Yang continued speaking.

"Since you’re clearly not interested, forget it. Sorry to bother you. Farewell."

He clasped his fists in respect, then turned decisively to leave.

Just as Luo Yang reached the door, Master Hua suddenly spoke, "The Blood Devil is in your hands?"

His tone suggested he was tempted.

In truth, Luo Yang had already guessed that Master Hua wouldn’t reveal anything about Hong Jiaxin. But he had another goal here: uncovering the secret of Mu Tan.

Everything in this world is interconnected.

Deciphering Mu Tan’s mystery would likely shed light on why Hong Zhong had disappeared.

Luo Yang had thrown out an olive branch. If Master Hua took it, there was hope for learning more about Mu Tan’s secret.

Of course, given their relationship, Master Hua wasn’t likely to directly divulge anything about Mu Tan’s secret.

In Luo Yang’s view, Master Hua’s status in the Eight Immortals Hall wasn’t particularly high, but it wasn’t low either.

With this level of standing, he might be privy to the secrets of Mu Tan.

Moreover, Master Hua’s primary objective seemed to be obtaining the Blood Devil during this visit.

Encountering Hong Jiaxin was likely incidental, and he simply wanted to capitalize on the opportunity to earn some extra favor.

Luo Yang turned back and returned to the living room, this time sitting on the sofa.

If Master Hua issued another order for him to leave, it would render further discussions unnecessary.

However, Master Hua didn’t expel him again, merely staring at Luo Yang coldly, clearly waiting for him to speak.

"Brother, the Blood Devil isn’t with me. But my wife and I can find it. And by my wife, I mean my other wife. She doesn’t even know you; why are you glaring at me like that?"

There was no way to refute these words.

Gradually, the hostility in Master Hua’s gaze lessened. It seemed he was prepared to use Luo Yang to help him locate the Blood Devil.

"I’ll give you a kind warning again: I don’t care how many wives you have, but don’t even think about touching Hong Jiaxin. She’s not someone you can handle." Master Hua reiterated his point firmly.

Having a cooperative dynamic between the two might help the discussion.

Luo Yang also hoped to pry all the information he wanted out of Master Hua.

It might be a long shot, but having come this far, he wasn’t about to give up without trying.

People have a natural tendency to persist out of stubbornness.

A gambler is the perfect example.

Luo Yang more or less knew it would be difficult to get any substantive information from Master Hua, but if he didn’t ask, he’d always wonder, ’What if he had been willing to talk?’

So he resolved to put his full effort into it and see if he could extract anything valuable.

"Brother, if you were in my shoes, how would you feel? You refuse to tell me the reason—what are you afraid of?" Luo Yang pressed emotionally.

At moments like these, reasoning with Master Hua was pointless.

The only way forward was if Master Hua let something slip in a moment of unguarded excitement.

But Master Hua was quite composed and not prone to losing his cool.

"Some things are better left unasked. Otherwise, you’ll die a horrible death!" Master Hua said coldly.

Regarding Hong Jiaxin, aside from Master Hua, Luo Yang guessed that Xiao Xiao Niu might also know something.

If he couldn’t get answers from Master Hua, he could always subtly probe Xiao Xiao Niu for information later.

For the moment, he couldn’t find the right opportunity to bring up Mu Tan.

Luo Yang decided to segue into the topic with a question about Hong Jiaxin: "Is my first wife connected to Mu Tan?"

At the mention of Mu Tan, Master Hua’s face showed a hint of surprise.

"Do you think you can get your hands on Mu Tan?" Luo Yang followed up.

"Stop asking me questions!" Master Hua snapped impatiently.

Hearing this, Luo Yang smirked.

"Brother, you want my help but won’t tell me anything. Do you think I’m that eager to know Mu Tan’s secret? I’m being forced into this!" Luo Yang retorted coldly.

"All you need to do is convince Hong Jiaxin to leave with me, and your troubles will be over," Master Hua said.

To be fair, he wasn’t wrong.

Mu Tan actually had nothing to do with Luo Yang.

It was the Japan Collector who wanted Mu Tan. Unable to find the Hong Zhong Couple, the collector naturally turned their focus to Hong Jiaxin.

Luo Yang had promised the Hong Zhong Couple that he would take good care of Hong Jiaxin.

As a result, Mu Tan’s secret was now indirectly tied to Luo Yang.

"Brother, if you were me, would you let your wife leave with some strange man?" Luo Yang scoffed derisively.

"I’m warning you one last time! Stop referring to her as your wife! She’s..."

Master Hua’s frustration got the better of him, and he nearly let something slip.

Luo Yang was briefly exhilarated, thinking he might hear the truth.

But Master Hua quickly clammed up, forcibly swallowing back the words he was about to say.

Piecing together everything Master Hua had said thus far, Luo Yang surmised that Hong Jiaxin’s identity must be extraordinary.

However, there was one thing he couldn’t figure out: the Hong Family wasn’t exactly a prominent lineage.

If it were, he surely would’ve heard of the Hong Family’s illustrious history through other channels.

"Brother, I’ll tell you this: if you want Mu Tan, I’ll help you find it. But please, stop making trouble for my first wife; she..."

"Enough! I’ve already given you enough respect!"

With a loud slap, Master Hua struck the low coffee table.

The tempered glass surface shockingly shattered into pieces.

At this point, it became clear that nothing useful could be gleaned from Master Hua’s mouth.

"Brother, your anger means nothing to me. The fact is, she is my wife. I suspect you’re up to no good and will never let my wife go with you!" Luo Yang declared firmly.

"Once you’re dead, she will leave with me," Master Hua said sinisterly.

The surge of murderous intent in his eyes revealed that he had already made up his mind to kill.

Luo Yang had never fought Master Hua before, so he didn’t know if the man possessed powerful techniques capable of harming his Yin Spirit.

If Master Hua’s skills were limited to combat prowess, Luo Yang wasn’t the least bit intimidated.

At worst, it’d be a draw. With the power of Shadow Fist, he could at least ensure he wouldn’t lose.

The only concern was if Master Hua’s first move targeted Luo Yang’s Yin Spirit. If he couldn’t block it, he might actually die tonight.

Better to live to fight another day.

Luo Yang said coldly, "I came here to help you, but now you want to kill me. I’ll remember this. Goodbye."

Even as he spoke, he remained hyper-alert, observing everything around him.

The room likely housed Master Hua’s comrades. If carelessness led to an ambush, he might genuinely be unable to escape.

"Hand over the Blood Devil and convince Hong Jiaxin to leave with me. I’ll guarantee your safety!" Master Hua stood up.

Xiao Xiao Niu had once mentioned that Master Hua was skilled in the Soul Chasing Talisman.

Now, seeing the murderous aura exuding from him, Luo Yang became all the more vigilant.

It seemed the skin Master Hua wore might hide another true self, which piqued Luo Yang’s curiosity.

He had the impulse to ask directly but restrained himself, worried it might expose his X-Ray Ability.

So far, no one knew about Luo Yang’s ability to see through things.
