Chapter 969: Chapter 0969: Elder Sister Asks Him What He Was Doing with the Beauty, This Is What He Said

Just a few minutes ago, Gu Xue received a phone call.

Luo Yang deduced that the matter had something to do with that call.

Gu Xue didn’t want to talk about it in front of Hong Jiaxin and Zhu Zishan, likely because it was a more mysterious issue.

So, she held Hong Jiaxin and Zhu Zishan for a moment, gesturing for them to stay where they were.

Walking out a few dozen meters with Gu Xue, Luo Yang asked, "What’s going on?"

Gu Xue’s voice trembled slightly. She said, "Hey, I need to discuss something very serious with you!"

Huh?

Luo Yang froze for a moment. Just now, the two of them had been chatting quite pleasantly.

Now, Gu Xue was so tense. Luo Yang figured it must have been caused by that unknown phone call.

That unfamiliar number was likely not so unfamiliar to Gu Xue.

It was probably a contact she couldn’t label in her phonebook, deliberately avoiding any suspicion if her phone were checked.

Luo Yang didn’t respond immediately, his thoughts racing.

Judging by Gu Xue’s tone, it seemed the matter was rather serious.

He just couldn’t guess what kind of issue it could be.

"It’s not that you want me to break up with my first wife, right?" Luo Yang quipped.

"Hey! Can you be serious for once?!" Gu Xue said angrily.

No matter what, the two of them could be considered a couple.

If the wife had a request, it wasn’t something Luo Yang could refuse outright.

"What is it?"

"They’re missing!"

At first, Luo Yang thought Gu Xue was referring to Hong Jiaxin and Zhu Zishan. He immediately turned to look toward the small sandhill.

Although he couldn’t make out their facial features, judging by their posture, Hong Jiaxin and Zhu Zishan were both still sitting there.

"Xue Mei, stop joking around. I’m easily scared," Luo Yang said with a laugh.

With a loud *smack*, Gu Xue punched Luo Yang’s arm.

"Hey! In your heart, all you see is them. You don’t even think about me at all... mm-hmm..."

Gu Xue’s voice rose slightly. If she had said the whole sentence, Hong Jiaxin and Zhu Zishan would have easily overheard.

Luo Yang guessed that what Gu Xue was about to say next was "us three sisters."

It was best for as few people as possible to know this secret. Otherwise, the three Gu sisters could be in extreme danger.

Once Gu Xue’s emotions calmed a little, Luo Yang withdrew slightly and asked, "Don’t worry. Just tell me slowly."

Then, he leaned closer to her ear again and reminded her not to reveal that she was siblings with Gu Xiang and Gu Yun, lest it brought about unnecessary trouble.

Gu Xue said anxiously, "They’ve been taken away!"

Luo Yang vaguely understood who Gu Xue was referring to as "they." It could only be Gu Xiang and Gu Yun.

Scanning his surroundings, he indeed didn’t see Gu Xiang and Gu Yun.

Earlier, it was Luo Yang who had told Gu Xiang and Gu Yun to go for a walk. If something happened to them, he’d never forgive himself.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have let them leave.

"Sister Xiang and Sister Yun are grown adults. If they were attacked, wouldn’t they scream?" Luo Yang asked curiously.

At the time, there had been the sound of the sea breeze and waves, but if someone nearby had cried for help, Luo Yang wouldn’t have missed it.

They had only been talking for a few minutes. How far could Gu Xiang and Gu Yun have gone?

Not to mention being on the beach, even if they’d been running, they couldn’t have gotten far.

"Hey! The point is—they’re gone!" Gu Xue said, agitated.

With her two younger sisters missing, how could Gu Xue possibly remain calm?

Moreover, this issue involved Luo Yang too.

Not only because Gu Xiang and Gu Yun were his wives, but because it was he who had driven them away, only for them to encounter trouble shortly after. He felt deeply guilty.

Luo Yang pulled Gu Xue into his embrace, holding her gently as he comforted, "Don’t worry, I’m here."

For a moment, both of their minds were a bit chaotic.

Holding Gu Xue’s delicate body, it took several seconds for Luo Yang to restore his usual clarity of mind.

Who had taken Gu Xiang and Gu Yun?

This question surged up in his thoughts, prompting Luo Yang to lean forward and ask into Gu Xue’s ear.

Gu Xue stammered and hesitated, clearly hiding something difficult to say.

"Xue Mei, if you don’t tell me the truth, how am I supposed to help you?" Luo Yang said.

If it were just something like carrying her bags, he wouldn’t need much context and could still help her easily without issue.

But now, with two beauties gone, not knowing the cause meant he couldn’t intervene effectively.

"I, I... Hey, I don’t even know how to say it!" Gu Xue stomped her foot.

Luo Yang tightened his hold around Gu Xue, providing a sense of warmth.

"Xue Mei, take your time. Don’t rush. I’ll help you." Luo Yang gently patted Gu Xue’s round hips.

"I, I, I... Hey, I lied to you!" Gu Xue finally admitted.

Hearing this, Luo Yang froze for half a second.

Lied to me?

His thoughts turned over quickly, and he began to guess what sort of thing she might have lied about.

Ever since Gu Xue had seen those two sets of skull bones and disappeared for a brief time, Luo Yang had suspected she had some connection to the people from Skull Fortress.

Although he was somewhat irritated with her, seeing her now so heartbroken and distraught, blaming her at this moment might drive her to extremes. If she did something drastic, it would only make things worse.

For now, whatever frustration he had, he decided to save it for a more appropriate time.

Right now, comforting her was the most important thing, to prevent her from acting recklessly.

"Xue Mei, don’t beat yourself up too much. I forgive you." Luo Yang planted a soft kiss on Gu Xue’s rosy lips.

"You really don’t blame me? Hey, I didn’t mean to..." Gu Xue choked on her words, her voice shaking.

Luo Yang could only stop her from saying more by sealing her lips with his own.

Talking too much now wouldn’t help. Sometimes, silence carried more meaning than words.

As their lips pressed together and they felt the warmth of each other, Gu Xue gradually calmed down.

Only then did Luo Yang softly ask, "What’s really going on? You have to tell me..."

At that very moment, Hua Xiyi’s voice suddenly rang out from afar.

"Haha, Niu Zai!"

Of all times to return, why now of all moments?

Ignoring her wouldn’t be appropriate either.

Luo Yang also wanted to know what conclusion Hua Xiyi had reached with Master Hua. After all, tomorrow he had no choice but to return to Honghai County to face the Japanese Ninja in the arena.

"Sister Hua, I’m over here!" Luo Yang replied.

At that moment, Luo Yang was still holding Gu Xue’s soft body, sensing her heart racing. Clearly, she felt both anxious and helpless.

He whispered into her ear, "Xue Mei, don’t stress. A few minutes won’t make much difference, right?"

If it were another beauty, Gu Xue would have urged Luo Yang to deny a meeting outright.

But Hua Xiyi wasn’t just any ordinary woman. Besides, the matter of finding Blood Devil was still tied to Luo Yang and Zhu Zishan—Hua Xiyi had her eyes firmly set on Luo Yang.

Thus, asking Luo Yang to drive Hua Xiyi away was practically impossible.

Though Gu Xue was eager to rescue her sisters, she could only set it aside for now.

"Hey, then just send her away quickly," Gu Xue whispered in Luo Yang’s ear like a mosquito.

She didn’t need to remind him of that—Luo Yang already knew.

Moments later, Hua Xiyi approached them.

"Haha, where are your other wives?" Hua Xiyi asked, glancing around.

"Over there." Luo Yang pointed in the direction where Zhu Zishan was seated.

"Haha, and what are you two doing here?"

Hua Xiyi asked again.

"Sister Hua, it’s like this. I just gave them... Haha, I was going to wait until we’re back at the hotel to give it to her, but she insisted on having it here. Haha, Sister Hua, could you let us have a few minutes alone?"

Having already made a preconceived impression of Luo Yang, Hua Xiyi believed that her sworn younger brother was a bold young man who would engage in "playful exercises" wherever he felt like.

Hearing Luo Yang’s straightforward words, Hua Xiyi chuckled and said, "Play as much as you want then. Haha, I won’t disturb you anymore. Haha!"

Before her laughter died down, Hua Xiyi’s figure had already moved several meters away, floating gracefully toward Zhu Zishan.
