Chapter 922: Chapter 0922: School Beauty’s Rich Daughter

If I can’t give the Blood Devil to Hua XiYi, it’ll be difficult to ask her to help find that Japanese collector.

At the time, the three Gu sisters mentioned that the Ten Thousand Souls Sect had always wanted to acquire the nine pieces of charcoal.

As long as they obtain the charcoal, the Ten Thousand Souls Sect would grow stronger.

From this perspective, the charcoal is of no benefit to the Eight Immortals Hall.

Thinking of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, Luo Yang guessed whether that Japanese collector could be one of their people.

This line of reasoning seemed to fit the conditions perfectly.

Though the Ten Thousand Souls Sect has been destroyed, could it really be that only the three Gu sisters remain?

The charcoal is advantageous for the Ten Thousand Souls Sect; if they obtain it, they may use it as an opportunity to seek revenge.

This aligns entirely with various practical conditions!

Luo Yang’s heart tightened, and he said, "Sister Hua, do you think that Japanese collector could be someone from the Ten Thousand Souls Sect?"

In a moment of excitement, he accidentally blurted out the name of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect.

But then he suddenly remembered the blood feud between the Jiuyang Hall and the Ten Thousand Souls Sect.

It was too late to take back what he said.

In the darkness of the night, while he couldn’t make out Laughing Girl’s expression, he could sense her growing wary.

"Heh heh! I knew you didn’t seem like an ordinary person! What’s your relationship with the Ten Thousand Souls Sect?!" Hua XiYi stopped in her tracks.

Being questioned, Luo Yang’s heart sank with a thud.

It’s over!

If he couldn’t explain reasonably, this would be a huge mistake.

What he had just said shouldn’t have been asked so directly in the first place.

Even if he wanted to ask, it should’ve been done in a more roundabout way to stay safe.

"Sister Hua, I swore an oath not to speak of it." Luo Yang pretended to look conflicted.

"Heh heh, keeping your oath is more important than your life?!" Hua XiYi’s tone turned much colder.

Who knows what terrible feud there was before between the Ten Thousand Souls Sect and the Jiuyang Hall; the animosity was overwhelming.

If Hua XiYi found out that the three Gu sisters were from the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, she would surely kill them on the spot.

"Sister Hua, we’re on the same side. I can break my promise. But after I tell you, please don’t make things difficult for me, can you?" Luo Yang pleaded sincerely.

"Heh heh, we’ll see!"

This could be considered Hua XiYi taking half a step back.

"I’ve been curious about both the Eight Immortals Hall and Jiuyang Hall, so I asked Elder Wuweizi of the Blood Devil Sect for information. I heard a little about your affairs. Just a little. Wuweizi wasn’t willing to say much at first. But because I’m Zhu Zishan’s husband and sort of family, he eventually opened up a bit."

With a faint smile, Luo Yang continued explaining.

"You should also know that the two Elders are very wary of both you and Master Hua. He made me swear not to let you two find out about this matter. I swore a heavy oath. Sister Hua, can you grant me a little dignity?"

Hua XiYi did not respond.

In such tense moments, Luo Yang couldn’t guarantee that Hua XiYi wouldn’t suddenly make a move.

If a fight broke out, things would become immensely complicated.

After deliberating for a while, Hua XiYi let out a cold laugh and said, "Heh heh, you’re quite the story-spinner!"

Luo Yang felt a shock inwardly but remained composed as he said, "Sister Hua, fine! I’ll drop my pride. Eh, count me unlucky. Let’s go find Wuweizi right now and confront him to see whether or not he told me. I’ll leave with no dignity here, and tomorrow morning, I’ll be gone!"

It must be noted, for Hua XiYi to acquire the Blood Devil, she still needed Luo Yang’s help.

After all, Master Hua wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

"Heh heh, I was just joking with you. Look how flustered you got. Heh heh, if you say so, then fine, no big deal." Hua XiYi laughed.

Although they hadn’t known each other long, Luo Yang had a certain impression of Hua XiYi—that while she might seem like a careless beauty, her words were rough, but she was cautious at heart.

Otherwise, why would the Jiuyang Hall send her to retrieve the Blood Devil?

Master Hua was similar; if they were truly careless individuals, how could they possibly guarantee a successful mission?

"Sister Hua, could it be that my first wife’s family is from a prestigious clan?" Luo Yang probed indirectly.

"Heh heh. Why do you ask so many questions? I told you, the more you know, the easier it is to die. Heh heh, don’t think I’m joking with you." Laughing Girl reminded him repeatedly.

Luo Yang wondered, could it be that the Hong Zhong couple weren’t Hong Jiaxin’s biological parents?

Reflecting on the three individuals’ facial features, there wasn’t much resemblance, indeed.

Then where were Hong Jiaxin’s birth parents?

Thinking this, he was suddenly shocked.

Could Hong Jiaxin be the daughter of the Boss of the Eight Immortals Hall?

As this possibility crossed his mind, Luo Yang couldn’t help but ask, "Sister Hua, could it be that my first wife is from the Eight Immortals Hall?"

After a hearty laugh, Hua XiYi said, "You’re speculating wildly. Curiosity indeed killed the cat. Curiosity will get you killed; stop digging into her background. You can’t handle it."

Young hearts naturally have a rebellious streak.

The more unclear something was, the more eager Luo Yang was to uncover it.

Upon hearing Hua XiYi’s words, Luo Yang had no intentions of retreating; instead, he was even more determined to investigate Hong Jiaxin’s origins.

"Sister Hua, so how much do you actually know about the charcoal?" Luo Yang changed the topic.

Understanding the secret of the charcoal might also shed light on some things about Hong Jiaxin.

Hua XiYi chuckled and said, "Forget about the charcoal; this matter is even graver. You’ll end up being surrounded and attacked."

The charcoal did not bode well for the Eight Immortals Hall. If Luo Yang stubbornly pursued the charcoal, he might genuinely provoke a fatal calamity.

But without unraveling the whole truth, how could he be at peace?

Luo Yang was now a man in Jianghu, unable to extricate himself at will.

Initially, the charcoal had no direct relevance to him, but Hong Jiaxin did.

Including that Japanese collector, there were many who wanted to harm Hong Jiaxin, which was something Luo Yang couldn’t tolerate.

In other words, Luo Yang had already been dragged into the charcoal incident.

It wasn’t a matter of wanting to get involved; he was forced into it.

Trying to withdraw now wouldn’t be as easy as he imagined.

Having already faced off with Japanese ninjas, Luo Yang foresaw that such duels would only grow in frequency unless that Japanese collector managed to obtain the charcoal.

"Sister Hua, I’m actually very angry. I’m clearly the victim here. I have the right to know everything. Listening to you, one day you might even turn against me. Is that fair?" Luo Yang countered.

"I’ve never sworn brotherhood with anyone before; you count as my little brother. I’m telling you this out of concern. How much fairness really exists in this world? Perhaps only in heaven do so-called true fairness and justice exist," Hua XiYi said.

Hearing her words, Luo Yang was left without a retort.

Fairness is relative; when both sides have equal strength, that’s when ideal fairness is most likely to emerge. When there’s a great disparity in status and power, fairness can only exist in dreams.

"Sister Hua, if one day someone told you to kill me, would you do it?" Luo Yang asked.

Somehow, Luo Yang sensed that he and Hua XiYi might eventually have a showdown.

Not to mention other things, the matter of the Blood Devil alone would be enough for the two to turn against each other and fight.

To cultivate Ferocious Power, Luo Yang absolutely had to get the Blood Devil.

The three Gu sisters also wanted the Blood Devil, but Luo Yang hadn’t fully decided to help them obtain it yet, as he still didn’t know what they planned to do with it.

In this way, Hua XiYi obtaining the Blood Devil wasn’t impossible, but at the very least, it would take a long time.

It seemed unlikely that Hua XiYi would be willing to wait that long.

With Hua XiYi’s personality, it was likely she’d begin with politeness but resort to violence soon after.

"Heh heh, what a beautiful moonlit night, why ruin the mood with such grim words? Heh heh, I need to have a chat with Sister Zhu."

Back then, Hua XiYi jokingly mentioned sharing a bed with three people, but that would require Zhu Zishan’s agreement.

Originally, there wasn’t much hope for that, as the relationship with Hua XiYi wasn’t deep enough yet. Managing to probe out that Hong Jiaxin wasn’t just an ordinary beauty was already an impressive achievement.
