CHAPTER 1181: CHAPTER 1181: SHE ADJUSTS HER CLOTHES IN FRONT OF HIM

At that time, the grandfather and grandchild were talking to Zhang Jing, and from their conversation, it was clear that if the Eight Immortals Hall agreed to the demands of the Nine Sun Palace, it would not be a good thing for Zhang Jing.

Luo Yang was caught between the Eight Immortals Hall and the Nine Sun Palace, trying to survive in a tight spot.

Fortunately, the Eight Immortals Hall and the Nine Sun Palace have not yet reached a consensus, otherwise, Luo Yang would not be able to cope with the pressure of the two forces joining hands.

Although Zhang Jing didn’t seem likely to suddenly attack, Luo Yang had to be cautious.

Holding Zhang Jing’s hand was actually a way to subtly control her pulse.

Once Zhang Jing decided to act, Luo Yang could take preemptive action.

By controlling Zhang Jing, combined with Luo Yang’s Shadow Fist, which passively provided defensive abilities, his chances of escaping were quite high.

Before they could walk out of the living room, they heard Wuweizi hastily advising: "Brother, let’s talk it out, don’t leave."

While speaking, he hurriedly followed and blocked their way.

Luo Yang glanced out of the corner of his eye at Master Hua, who was still sitting there. From the dark expression on his face, it was clear he was suppressing a lot of anger.

If Zhang Jing weren’t present, Master Hua might have already rushed at Luo Yang.

But now, even though he was furious, he didn’t dare to make a move, clearly feeling frustrated.

"Elder, I’m here to tell everyone that I really want to go back to my hometown for the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the festival, I’ll come back here," Luo Yang said solemnly.

"Oh dear, brother, we are all brothers within the four seas. Wherever you celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, isn’t it all the same? Let this old man host you all properly," said Wuweizi.

Luo Yang sneered internally at this old fox’s seemingly sincere facade.

But on the surface, he thanked him, saying, "Elder, I appreciate your kindness. My family called, wanting me to return for a reunion. I must go back. If I didn’t consider you all as people, would I specially come here to inform you about this?"

Saying this, his gaze fell on Master Hua.

The infuriated Master Hua reacted immediately upon hearing this.

"What did you say?!"

"Oh, so it turns out your hearing isn’t good. Let me repeat it, I said if I didn’t see you as people, I would treat you as dogs..."

Before Luo Yang could finish, Zhang Jing intervened to mediate.

"Niu Zai, just say one less word."

Since she spoke, Luo Yang had to give her some face.

If Zhang Jing decided not to intervene, the situation could become quite tricky.

With a chuckle, Luo Yang said, "Out of respect for Sister Jing, I considered you as human. Once the Blood Devil is found, I’ll face off against you properly!"

The furious Master Hua’s face darkened, and he leapt up, shouting, "You’re not leaving this door today!"

Faced with such a blatant threat, Luo Yang laughed instead.

That was because he knew full well that the one known as "Mother" Zhang Jing had the ability to keep Master Hua in check.

In other words, Master Hua was just bluffing, not daring to act at all.

"Sister Jing, let’s go, let’s not waste time with such an inhuman thing. Don’t worry, if he wants to fight, I’ll protect you," Luo Yang said.

At the same time, he pulled Zhang Jing by the hand to leave the living room.

At that time, Wuweizi blocked the doorway, spreading his arms, and advised, "Everyone, calm down. We haven’t found the Blood Devil yet, internal strife is not the way. Brother, Mr. Hua, please listen to this old man."

Master Hua’s face changed from red to white to black, like a seasoned watermelon. From his tightly clenched, trembling fists, it was clear he was barely able to control himself.

But in front of his superior, no matter how angry Master Hua was, he had to follow orders.

"Brother, in this old man’s opinion, you’re more in the wrong here."

Wuweizi couldn’t afford to offend the Eight Immortals Hall, so he had to be biased.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang sneered, "Elder, that’s just not right. At your age, how can you be so muddle-headed? If I call my step-sister here for judgment, if she says you’re right, I’ll comply. Elder, please move aside."

Because Hua XiYi wasn’t present, Wuweizi dared to bully Luo Yang.

Upon hearing that Luo Yang was going to call Hua XiYi, Wuweizi’s face turned white with fright.

Although Hua XiYi was still recovering from severe poisoning, if she didn’t come today to settle accounts, Wuweizi would suffer for it later.

Though mocked by Luo Yang, Wuweizi was angry inside but still persuaded with a smile, "Brother, we’re all on the same side, let’s not blow a small matter out of proportion. Everyone, let’s compromise, brother, give this old man a bit of face and stop this."

Whenever Wuweizi sang the "good cop" role, Elder Chang Zhenzi liked to play the "bad cop."

"Old Wu, why give him face! Do we, the Blood Devil Sect, fear him?!" Elder Chang Zhenzi said coldly.

This was also a way to curry favor with Master Hua.

Luo Yang confronted, "Elder Chang Zhenzi! You want to fight my step-sister, right?"

If Hua XiYi were to deal with Elder Chang Zhenzi, he’d end up finding a dentist to fix his teeth.

"Don’t think I’m afraid of you! Don’t give face where it’s not needed!" Elder Chang Zhenzi shouted, glaring with fury.

"Do I need your face?!" Luo Yang sneered.

Hearing this, Elder Chang Zhenzi nearly choked, his face turning red.

"Everyone, say a word less. Old Chang, don’t speak, don’t speak. Brother, we’re family, give a bit of face," Wuweizi tried to mediate.

"Elder, if not for giving you face, he’d be dead!" Luo Yang pointed at Elder Chang Zhenzi.

This place was the territory of the Blood Devil Sect. As one of the decision-makers, Elder Chang Zhenzi was actually being threatened, leaving his pride with no place to stand.

"If I don’t teach you a lesson today, I won’t be human!"

But Wuweizi firmly held back Elder Chang Zhenzi, preventing him from lunging forward.

Once the matter was exposed, Hua XiYi would eventually come to hold Wuweizi and Elder Chang Zhenzi accountable. Even if not killed, being badly beaten would harm their reputation.

Elder Chang Zhenzi wasn’t truly aiming to fight Luo Yang, just finding a way to back down.

"Brother, for my sake, apologize to Elder Chang," Wuweizi pleaded.

"Elder, you’re wrong in this. You all ganged up to bully me. Once my step-sister comes, we’ll talk it over properly. Tonight, I’m going home. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we’ll discuss further!"

Saying this, Luo Yang took Zhang Jing’s hand and strode towards the exit.

If Zhang Jing weren’t present, Master Hua would have stopped Luo Yang.

But now that Wuweizi and Elder Chang Zhenzi feared Hua XiYi, naturally, they dared not force Luo Yang to stay. Nor did they have the capability.

The remaining Japanese Ninja minor leader, Gui Tou Bu Chang, was even more unsuitable to say anything.

Once outside the courtyard, walking down the street, Luo Yang suddenly wrapped his arm around Zhang Jing’s slender waist and laughed, "Sister Jing, when we get home, I’ll give you a big surprise."

If not for using words to coax Zhang Jing, in case she opposed Luo Yang leaving, it would be quite troublesome.

If Zhang Jing was also willing to return to the Hongyun Brigade, the grandfather and grandchild would have nothing more to say.

The mission of the grandfather and grandchild, Luo Yang guessed, was to prevent the Eight Immortals Hall from easily capturing Hong Jiaxin.

Therefore, wherever Hong Jiaxin went, the grandfather and grandchild would follow.

"Can’t you tell me now?"

As she spoke, she tried to pry Luo Yang’s hand away.

However, Luo Yang refused to let go, smiling, "Sister Jing..."

Zhang Jing saw Luo Yang trailing off mid-sentence, turned to look, and hurriedly tugged at her top, trying to cover herself up.

If she had known Luo Yang possessed X-Ray Ability, she wouldn’t have made such a futile gesture.
