Upon hearing Ban Pi’s words, it was clear that he never liked owing anyone a favor.
Luo Yang wanted to propose exchanging Shuiyue and Jinghua’s lives.
However, he wasn’t sure if he could cure Ban Pi’s illness. If Ban Pi knew the true purpose at this ti, it might complicate things.
Luo Yang said, "We are from the sa sect, I don’t want your repaynt. Just work hard for Skull Fortress in the future."
Ban Pi said, "Just like that?"
Seeing he was a bit skeptical, Luo Yang pondered.
"Then how do you want to repay ?" Luo Yang asked bluntly.
"You can ask to help you with sothing. No matter what it is, I will do my best to help you!" Ban Pi said.
Luo Yang listened and nodded to signify acceptance.
At that ti, with the Master Servant Pill on him, Luo Yang considered coaxing Ban Pi into taking it, then finding out the whereabouts of the second Blood Devil sword, and subsequently dealing with him.
The only problem was whether the Master Servant Pill would be effective on Ban Pi.
If not, it would be a disaster.
Having just ntioned helping treat his illness, it was unlikely to have an antidote so swiftly.
Even in deceit, there had to be so logic.
Luo Yang said, "Mr. Ban Pi, let clarify, I have over a ninety percent chance of curing your illness, but I can’t claim a hundred percent success yet. I haven’t diagnosed you."
Ban Pi was eager, "Then diagnose now!"
The two ca to discuss murder, but it seed like Ban Pi was seeking dical help.
"Alright. I’ll help treat your illness, about the matter concerning Shuiyue and Jinghua, you must agree to my terms: allow them to take poison and die." Luo Yang said.
"Once they’re dead, I’ll cut off their heads and take them back." Ban Pi said.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yang was secretly shocked.
"Mr. Ban Pi, is this Lord Bao’s command?" Luo Yang asked.
"Yes. The Boss wants to bring back two heads." Ban Pi replied.
Thus, the plan of feigning death was no longer useful.
Luo Yang said, "Mr. Ban Pi, why decapitate the dead?"
Ban Pi said coldly, "Lord Bao wants the heads!"
In Skull Fortress, Lord Bao had the final say.
Ban Pi was rely an errand runner.
"Mr. Ban Pi, how about letting them keep their whole bodies?" Luo Yang suggested in a negotiating tone.
"Lord Bao wouldn’t agree!" Ban Pi said.
This matter has to be discussed with Lord Bao.
But Lord Bao had long intended to kill Shuiyue and Jinghua, and was unlikely to grant them a whole body.
"Mr. Ban Pi, what must I do for Lord Bao to not take their heads?" Luo Yang probed.
Receiving no response, it was clear that the matter was more complicated than imagined.
Lord Bao’s hatred for Shuiyue and Jinghua was due to various reasons.
"Xiao Luo, don’t attempt to persuade Lord Bao, since she changed, she doesn’t listen to anyone’s advice. The more you persuade her, the more she gets annoyed." Ban Pi said.
Such kind words were mostly because Luo Yang offered to treat his illness.
Now, rescuing Shuiyue and Jinghua seed much harder.
Unable to find a better solution at the mont, he had to put the issue aside.
Luo Yang ca to see Ban Pi for another important matter: to find out the whereabouts of the second Blood Devil sword.
In Luo Yang’s heart, he didn’t want to find the second Blood Devil sword so soon.
After all, if he found the second Blood Devil sword, the first Blood Devil sword might leave him.
Of course, there’s also the possibility that both Blood Devil swords would follow Luo Yang.
But Luo Yang couldn’t find a reason for both Blood Devil swords to stick around with him.
With the power of two Blood Devil swords, many adept outsiders would likely be annihilated.
Taking a deep breath, he flicked away the cigarette butt and pulled out a cigarette, offering one to Ban Pi.
Ban Pi waved his hand, declining.
Luo Yang lit another one for himself and said, "Mr. Ban Pi, you don’t know how much pressure I am under. Lord Bao wants to find the Blood Devil sword, but I have no leads so far."
Start by talking about the Blood Devil sword, to see how Ban Pi would respond.
At this mont, Mo Ye suddenly said, "Quickly make him reveal my late husband’s whereabouts!"
Luo Yang could only say in his heart, "Miss Mo Ye, don’t be anxious."
He exhaled another puff of smoke, still not seeing a response from Ban Pi.
He was just about to ask when Ban Pi said, "Xiao Luo, one thing at a ti. Hand Shuiyue and Jinghua over first, let complete this task."
Luo Yang said, "Mr. Ban Pi, I originally brought them here. But they asked to plead with you, they want a whole body. Hearing you want to take their heads, I really can’t bear it. Isn’t there any other way to resolve this problem?"
After a mont of silence, Ban Pi said, "No. Unless you kill ."
Even if Ban Pi were killed, Lord Bao would still send others to take Shuiyue and Jinghua’s lives.
In other words, to save Shuiyue and Jinghua from their plight, the best thod was still to deceive Lord Bao.
As long as Lord Bao knows Shuiyue and Jinghua aren’t dead, she won’t give up.
"Mr. Ban Pi, tomorrow I will bring them to et you. Tonight, I still have to say goodbye to them." Luo Yang said.
"Then tomorrow night, we’ll et here." Ban Pi agreed.
Luo Yang was just about to take his pulse.
"Mr. Ban Pi, I have another question for you." Luo Yang said.
At this mont, Ban Pi suddenly looked around cautiously.
Luo Yang could faintly hear soone approaching.
At such a critical mont, Luo Yang didn’t want any disturbances.
"Who did you bring?" Ban Pi said coldly.
"Maybe it’s people from Shi Sheng Palace. They’ve been following for so ti. I’ll cover you, you retreat first." Luo Yang said.
Seeing Luo Yang speak so amiably, Ban Pi was reluctant to take imdiate action against him.
"Who’s over there?" Luo Yang asked.
In a pile of abandoned carriages not far away, there was clearly soone.
No one responded.
Luo Yang whispered, "Mr. Ban Pi, you leave first, I’ll hold them off."
Ban Pi said coldly, "Weren’t they invited by you?"
Before the words were finished, a familiar voice ca closer and closer.
"Grandma Gu has been looking for you for a long ti! Finally seeing you here today!"
It was none other than Aunt Thirteen.
Following Aunt Thirteen’s appearance was Lan Ya.
He had long told Aunt Thirteen not to confront Ban Pi so quickly.
Now, seeing Aunt Thirteen’s confident deanor, it seed she was determined to kill Ban Pi.
Even if Ban Pi could be killed, Luo Yang had to stop it.
After all, probing the whereabouts of the second Blood Devil sword, without Ban Pi, getting answers from Lord Bao would be nearly impossible.
"So it’s you! You really think you can do anything to ?" Ban Pi sneered.
The situation was about to escalate.
Luo Yang hurriedly signaled to Aunt Thirteen, but she pretended not to see.
"Please don’t act rashly, hear out first." Luo Yang said.
"Kid, this has nothing to do with you! Step aside!" Aunt Thirteen said coldly.
If Aunt Thirteen knew Ban Pi might know the whereabouts of the second Blood Devil sword, she probably wouldn’t rush into battle.
At this ti, Luo Yang couldn’t explain much to Aunt Thirteen.
"Aunt Thirteen, this Mr. Ban Pi is my patient. I need to treat his illness. I have always kept my promises. Once I cure him, then you can fight, alright?" Luo Yang said.
Aunt Thirteen naturally didn’t understand Luo Yang’s implied ssage, thinking he was deliberately covering for the people of Skull Fortress.
