CHAPTER 1045: CHAPTER 1045: THE BOSS WHO CAN’T BE FIRED

Ever since Gu Xue pinned her hopes on Luo Yang, she clung to him relentlessly.

Unless he helped them get their revenge, she wouldn’t stop bothering him.

If it were a minor grudge, Luo Yang might have been able to help.

But they insisted on wiping out major powers like Eight Immortals Hall and Jiuyang Hall.

Not to mention Luo Yang’s skills were insufficient.

Even if he had three heads and six arms, could perform seventy-two transformations, he probably couldn’t achieve that goal.

It’s as difficult as an ordinary person trying to become immortal.

Luo Yang truly couldn’t figure out a way to help them achieve their objective.

In his view, they simply found the wrong person.

Wasting time on him, they might confront him out of disappointment later.

If it came to that, it would be even more tragic.

Therefore, whenever there was a chance, Luo Yang wanted to persuade them to find someone stronger to help them.

However, Gu Xue didn’t see it the same way.

This is how Gu Xue thought: Luo Yang already had such good skills, wouldn’t his master be even stronger?

This is a normal inference for most people.

Little did she know, Luo Yang didn’t have a master, and if anyone had to be called a master, it would be the "Shennong Scripture."

Luo Yang couldn’t possibly reveal the secret of the "Shennong Scripture" to her.

Thus, Gu Xue misunderstood.

She only wanted to find an opportunity to have Luo Yang introduce his master so they could discuss major plans together.

It’s just that the time wasn’t right yet, and Gu Xue hadn’t brought it up.

"Sister Xue, Sister Xiang, Sister Yun. I have a question I’m curious about and have wanted to ask you for a long time," Luo Yang said, smoking a cigarette with half-closed eyes.

"Hey, if you have something to ask, just ask!" Gu Xue urged.

She was a straightforward girl.

Luo Yang could only be direct and said, "Sister Xue, have you guys been watching me for a long time now?"

The three Gu sisters looked at each other, puzzled as to why he was asking this.

"Hey, what do you actually mean?" Gu Xue impatiently asked.

"Sister Xue, I mean, have you been looking for someone about my age?" Luo Yang decided to speak openly.

He always felt there was a huge misunderstanding.

Maybe the three Gu sisters received some erroneous guidance from a fortune-teller, needing to find a young person who could turn the tide, leveraging the young person’s strength to avenge the Ten Thousand Souls Sect.

They searched high and low and eventually found Luo Yang.

Otherwise, Luo Yang couldn’t understand why they wanted him to be the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect.

If there were benefits, Luo Yang would accept.

But this was a position that required giving without reaping benefits, and he really had no interest in taking it.

Gu Xue sneered, "Hey, stop letting your imagination run wild! You are our Sect Master now, so start thinking more about how to help us get revenge. This is your lifelong duty."

Clearly it was their feud, yet they insisted on hoisting it onto Luo Yang.

He chuckled and said, "Sister Xue, Sister Xiang, Sister Yun, there are some things I can’t help but think about. Reflecting on this whole thing, I always feel something’s off. Don’t you feel the same?"

Gu Xue said coquettishly, "Hey! What’s so off about this? You’ve become the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, you’ve already profited, what more do you want?"

Luo Yang didn’t want to take advantage of this at all.

"Sister Xue, how about you being the Sect Master first, would that work?" Luo Yang suggested.

"Hey! Don’t mess around! You can’t just become a Sect Master on a whim!" Gu Xue said, putting on a stern face.

The other two also wore expressions of disdain.

Faced with how they insisted on bestowing titles forcefully, Luo Yang felt quite helpless.

With a smile, Luo Yang said, "Sister Xue, you mentioned you wanted to tell me something—is it about me not doing the Sect Master role for the Ten Thousand Souls Sect?"

Gu Xue corrected him, "Hey, it’s not that you can’t be the Sect Master, but you need to complete the ritual before taking on the role officially. You’re already halfway there as the Sect Master, you can’t escape it!"

He thought that he wouldn’t have to be the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, yet he still couldn’t get away from it.

"Sister Xue, Sister Xiang, Sister Yun, to be honest, I lack experience and ability, really unfit to be a Sect Master, so maybe..."

As he spoke, seeing their increasingly cold gazes, Luo Yang had no choice but to stop talking.
