Chapter 938: Chapter 0938: Flying Far and High
Although Zhu Zishan hadn’t finished her question, Luo Yang already sensed she wanted to ask about the three Gu sisters.
If Hua XiYi weren’t outside, Luo Yang could have a chat with Zhu Zishan about the three Gu sisters.
But now wasn’t the right ti, it wasn’t convenient to say too much.
If he rejected her outright, he guessed Zhu Zishan would feel uncomfortable about it.
It wasn’t until Zhu Zishan stopped pressing him for answers that Luo Yang leaned close to her ear and whispered, “I’ll tell you when we get back. Don’t ask about them now. You understand. If Hua XiYi asks, help cover it up. Otherwise, I’ll be in real danger.”
Hearing this, Zhu Zishan was startled.
Originally, she had rely found it strange that Luo Yang had suddenly brought three beauties along.
But now, hearing Luo Yang speak with such seriousness, she was genuinely shaken.
When Gu Xue had given her explanation earlier, Zhu Zishan had felt sothing wasn’t quite right.
However, since Gu Xue had spoken so openly, Zhu Zishan had to treat it as truth for the ti being.
Now, with Luo Yang’s words, Zhu Zishan realized these three newcors were far from ordinary.
As she widened her eyes in surprise, Luo Yang continued, “Sister Zhu, act natural. Don’t let Hua XiYi notice anything. That would be bad for us.”
Returning to her senses, Zhu Zishan nodded slightly.
Seeing how serious Luo Yang was, she believed he wasn’t joking.
As Zhu Zishan appeared to be deep in thought, Luo Yang seized the opportunity to whisper, “Sister Zhu, do you happen to know the exact location of the Blood Devil?”
Zhu Zishan gently shook her head.
From her clear, sincere gaze, there was no sign she was lying.
However, a trained person could always conceal their true emotions.
Zhu Zishan claid she didn’t know, and for now, Luo Yang chose to believe her.
“Once we get the Blood Devil, let’s leave together, far away. How about that?” she suggested softly.
The matter was far from settled.
If he rejected her outright, it could hurt Zhu Zishan’s feelings.
And who knew? Her mood might ruin their chances of finding the Blood Devil, all because of so casual talk. That wouldn’t be good.
So Luo Yang vaguely replied, “Once we get the Blood Devil, we’ll have a proper discussion. Let’s not rush for now.”
Nodding slightly, he added, “Sister Zhu, I still need to talk to them. When you leave, could you please call them in for ?”
Zhu Zishan smiled and agreed, then left the room.
Soon after, the three Gu sisters stepped into the small room.
Their emotions were extrely complicated—resentnt, anger, and jealousy all mixed together.
They resented Luo Yang for becoming sworn siblings with Hua XiYi.
They were angry that Luo Yang had hidden so much from them.
What they needed to discuss with him, under no circumstances, could be overheard by Hua XiYi. Otherwise, it would lead to disaster.
Still, the earlier conversation could serve to mislead Hua XiYi.
The three sisters surrounded Luo Yang closely, their gazes reprimanding him silently.
Having a private conversation among four people wasn’t easy.
Fortunately, the three Gu sisters recognized the risk and refrained from causing a scene on the spot.
Gu Xue scoffed coldly, staring at Luo Yang as she said, “You’re not getting away without explaining everything tonight!”
“Exactly! You’re clearly hiding a lot from us, so spill it out already!”
Hearing Gu Yun chi in, Luo Yang gave a silent, knowing smile.
Though Gu Xue had plenty she wanted to say to Luo Yang, she knew impatience wouldn’t help. She could only take a deep breath and pace herself.
The four of them huddled together, talking in hushed tones.
Every once in a while, they raised their voices to say sothing like, “When are you going to pay back the money you owe ?” as if it were ant for Hua XiYi to overhear outside.
“Hey! I want you to do sothing for !”
Judging by Gu Xue’s icy tone, it was clear it wouldn’t be anything good.
Now that he was stuck on the sinking ship, he had no choice but to brace himself and listen.
Luo Yang gestured for her to continue.
