Chapter 955: Chapter 0955: For the School Beauty, He Had to Toughen Up

But neither Master Hua nor Hua XiYi were fools.

Before Wuweizi could finish speaking, Hua XiYi playfully scolded, "Heh heh! You old geezer, if you dare try to pull any tricks, I’ll twist your head right off! Heh heh!"

Seeing his scheming exposed, Wuweizi turned red with both shame and anger.

Yet, he lacked the skill to best Hua XiYi, let alone face the power of the Eight Immortals Hall if he admitted his intentions.

Never mind if the Jiuyang Hall and Eight Immortals Hall joined forces—blood would flow, and the Blood Devil Sect would be eradicated completely.

Thus, Wuweizi dared not express his anger.

"Miss Hua, this old man hasn’t said anything improper. Please don’t lose your temper. I was merely saying we should proceed with caution—there are countless traps and other dangers inside, and it’s very easy for accidents to happen."

His heart roared with fury, but his words remained humble and polite.

"Heh heh! If we die, we’ll drag you down with us! Heh heh! You lead the way, and we’ll follow behind. Heh heh!"

"Of course."

Wuweizi wished he could strangle Hua XiYi on the spot, but he simply didn’t have the ability.

At this moment, Master Hua brought up Hong Jiaxin again.

"Miss Hong, have you decided yet? If you’re leaving, you should go now."

When Hong Jiaxin turned to look at Luo Yang, he answered for her.

"Whenever she goes, I’ll go with her. But for today, she’s not leaving. Don’t bring it up again!"

For Hong Jiaxin’s safety, Luo Yang had no choice but to assert himself.

Besides, he believed the Hong Zhong couple would support his decision.

The murderous intent in Master Hua’s eyes surged again as he stared at Luo Yang with venom.

"Heh heh! What are you glaring at? Don’t like that my brother’s marrying a beautiful wife? Heh heh! Keep glaring, and I’ll dig those eyes of yours out! Heh heh!"

"You crazy woman! You’ll pay for this!"

"Heh heh! Oh, I’m so scared! Baby’s terrified! Heh heh!"

With Hua XiYi stepping in, Master Hua was truly left helpless.

On top of that, earlier when Hua XiYi mentioned "Skull Fortress," Master Hua had turned pale and stayed unusually silent for a long moment.

Luo Yang had a sense that the Skull Fortress was no trifling power.

Otherwise, Master Hua wouldn’t have shown such a shocked expression.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, Luo Yang thought. He was curious to meet the people of Skull Fortress—but unfortunately, there hadn’t been an opportunity yet.

Everyone stood at an impasse, the atmosphere tense and hostile.

With the match against the Japanese Ninjas tomorrow back in Honghai County, Luo Yang wasn’t in the mood to waste time here with Master Hua.

"Sister Hua, let’s get to work and stop wasting time with boring people."

"Heh heh, let’s go."

So many people entering the altar together made Wuweizi and Elder Chang Zhenzi reluctant.

The two exchanged uneasy glances, but there was nothing they could do.

Denying Hua XiYi and Master Hua entry was out of the question.

Leaving Luo Yang behind wasn’t an option either—Zhu Zishan wouldn’t cooperate if that happened.

The group left the hotel and headed toward Wangbing Lake.

Master Hua followed, though his face was as dark as a storm cloud.

Noticing Hong Jiaxin was still part of the group, Master Hua interjected again, shouting, "Miss Hong, you shouldn’t go! Stay outside and wait!"

His insistence on protecting Hong Jiaxin didn’t seem like a plot to harm her.

As for his motives, Luo Yang couldn’t figure them out.

He vaguely remembered Hua XiYi mentioning something about Hong Jiaxin’s background before, though she hadn’t explained it clearly.

From their conversations, however, Luo Yang had a feeling Hong Jiaxin wasn’t ordinary.

Seeing Master Hua treat Hong Jiaxin with such courtesy further convinced Luo Yang that she might be a secret daughter of a high-ranking member of the Eight Immortals Hall.

Otherwise, too many things couldn’t be explained.

Sure, Hong Jiaxin was indeed the campus beauty with undeniable charm.

But that alone wasn’t enough to elicit such exceptional concern from Master Hua.

In truth, Luo Yang didn’t want to bring Hong Jiaxin along to find the Blood Devil either. But if she stayed in the room, who would protect her?

Whether the Eight Immortals Hall had other operatives at the resort was an unknown factor.

One thing Luo Yang was certain of—if Hong Jiaxin wasn’t by his side, he might never see her again.

He had promised the Hong Zhong couple to take good care of Hong Jiaxin, and he didn’t intend to break that promise.

"Where I go, she goes," Luo Yang declared.

Hong Jiaxin didn’t object, as she had always stayed by Luo Yang’s side—it had become second nature.

"This won’t be resolved until it’s made clear!" Master Hua snapped angrily.

Before his voice even trailed off, two strangers who looked identical to Zhang Jing leapt out, blocking the group’s path.

As long as Master Hua gave the command, the battle would begin.

Luo Yang was startled—if these two Zhang Jing lookalikes held ranks lower than Master Hua, did that mean the Zhang Jing in the Hongyun Brigade also obeyed his orders?

"Heh heh! Is the Eight Immortals Hall looking to..."

Hua XiYi almost let something slip but quickly caught herself.

"Heh heh! Wanna fight? Heh heh! Let Baby see what you’ve got! Heh heh!"

This time, however, Hua XiYi didn’t immediately attack the two fake Zhang Jings.

"Heh heh! Let’s fight here until the people from Skull Fortress show up. Let’s see who drops dead first! Come on! Heh heh!"

The mere mention of Skull Fortress made Master Hua’s expression darken significantly.

Luo Yang sneaked a glance at Wuweizi and Elder Chang Zhenzi, seeing their panicked faces—it was clear Skull Fortress was a force to be reckoned with.

Currently, the Skull Fortress operated from the shadows, impossible to guard against.

The original plan was to deal with the Blood Devil Sect, Eight Immortals Hall, and Jiuyang Hall to claim the Blood Devil.

But things were turning out far more complicated than expected.

This was the first Luo Yang had heard of Skull Fortress, and he had no understanding of them at all.

But judging by everyone’s reactions, it was clear Skull Fortress wasn’t an easy target.

"Everyone, why fight like this?" Wuweizi spread his hands in mock helplessness.

"The Elder is right. What are you trying to achieve?!" Luo Yang pointed at Master Hua.

If Hong Jiaxin really was some high-ranking figure’s illegitimate daughter within the Eight Immortals Hall, clarifying it would help Luo Yang make sense of things.

However, no one was willing to speak up, leaving Luo Yang in the dark.

Under such unclear circumstances, there was no way Luo Yang would simply hand Hong Jiaxin over to Master Hua—it would be utterly irresponsible.

Never mind the solemn promise he had made to the Hong Zhong couple—even without having sworn an oath, Luo Yang would still do everything he could to help Hong Jiaxin as her classmate.

"She’s not coming along," said Master Hua stubbornly.

"She’s my main wife—what’s your problem?!" Luo Yang glared back.

"You’ll die without a burial!" Master Hua threatened.

At moments like these, Hua XiYi always had Luo Yang’s back.

"Heh heh! You wanna touch my brother? Go ahead and try! Heh heh!"

"If you escape today, you won’t make it past tomorrow!"

"Heh heh! Oh no, Baby’s so scared! Heh heh! You think you can actually do anything? Heh heh!"

If not for the rumor that Skull Fortress agents were lurking nearby, Master Hua might have already joined forces with the two fake Zhang Jings to brawl with Hua XiYi.

But since it was just hearsay from Hua XiYi, there was no guarantee Skull Fortress was really present.

Thus, Master Hua pulled out his phone and made a call.

From his conversation, it was clear he was asking about whether Skull Fortress members were truly in the vicinity.

After inquiring about Skull Fortress, Master Hua began asking about Hong Jiaxin.

He was overheard saying, "She’s also heading into the altar," before nodding a few times and hanging up.

"You’re not going in. Stay up here with Miss Hong!" Master Hua commanded Luo Yang.

If the Blood Devil was discovered without him being there, and the group emerged from the altar afterward, he might have no chance of claiming it.

The trip to Tianjiang City had only one goal—obtaining the Blood Devil.

Bringing Hong Jiaxin into the altar was undeniably unfair to her.

After all, the place was fraught with unseen dangers, and her life would be at great risk at any moment.

Luo Yang simply believed that having her by his side would be the safest option for her.
