CHAPTER 1172: CHAPTER 1172: THE BOSS’S DISPUTE

For practitioners, if they could enhance their physique or power through medicinal pills, it would be the best thing possible.

Shuiyue and Jinghua both wanted to strengthen their skills as much as possible, ideally becoming even stronger than Lord Bao.

By then, if Lord Bao tried to punish them, they could fight back and wouldn’t fear being killed by him.

"Is there any other way to help us improve our combat skills?" Jinghua asked with interest.

"There should be. Don’t worry, I’ll come back to find you later. I’m going to find out what’s wrong with Lord Bao now."

At this point, Luo Yang thought for a moment.

He changed the subject to probe them for information.

"Sister Yue, Sister Jing, how did Lord Bao become like that?"

Upon being asked, Shuiyue and Jinghua’s faces changed dramatically, as if Lord Bao had traveled through time and space to stand before them, knife raised, ready to kill them.

This indicated that Lord Bao had given orders to the Disciples of the Skull Sect, especially those around her, forbidding them to casually reveal her secrets.

Luo Yang guessed that Shuiyue and Jinghua knew a bit, and being too curious, he forced them to speak up.

He comforted them, "Sister Yue, Sister Jing, you will all be with me in the future, so do you think I’d go to tell Lord Bao?"

Shuiyue said timidly, "I only know it might be caused by love."

Originally, Luo Yang thought it was due to conflicts between differing paths, but unexpectedly, it was love disputes that caused the trouble.

"What exactly happened?" Luo Yang wanted to hear more details.

"We don’t know either. The second in command knows the whole story," Jinghua said.

To find out about her sister’s past from Shuimei was not a wise choice.

"You guys..."

He wanted to say "you from Skull Fortress," but Luo Yang had already pretended to be a member of the Skull Fortress.

He had to change his words to, "How many people do we have in the Skull Fortress?"

Shuiyue answered, "Our Skull Fortress has people all over the world, the exact number is unclear. Only Lord Bao and the second in command know."

While asking, Luo Yang’s phone rang again.

"Only you can bring me to the Journey to the West..."

Taking out his phone to check the caller ID, it was still Tang Guihua calling.

Luo Yang answered and said, "Sister Guihua, I’m almost there."

It was already half an hour past, and Tang Guihua said coquettishly, "Niu Zai! You said you’d be here in ten minutes, why aren’t you here yet? You’re lying to me again!"

From her tone, Luo Yang knew that once he met Tang Guihua, he would likely face her masterful skill of interrupted cultivation.

"Sister Guihua, there was a traffic jam, I’m just about there. When we meet, I’ll tell you some good news," Luo Yang said.

"Turn on the video, let me see if you’re really in the car!" demanded Tang Guihua.

This startled Luo Yang.

"Sister Guihua, alright. Oh no! My phone’s out of battery, let’s talk later. It’s going to shut down automatically, oh no! Sister Guihua, I’m about to arrive, bye."

Before finishing his words, Luo Yang quickly turned off the phone.

Seeing Luo Yang lying, Shuiyue and Jinghua chuckled teasingly.

"You two try the beauty stream first. I’ll be out for a while."

Then he left the room.

After Luo Yang left, Shuiyue and Jinghua started talking about him.

"Shuiyue, do you think he really wants to protect us?" Jinghua propped her chin with her hand.

"Not sure. What do you think?" Shuiyue replied with a question.

This question, Jinghua hadn’t thought through yet.

...

...

Hua XiYi was also staying in the same hotel, likely in her room recuperating.

Without calling, Luo Yang went directly to find Hua XiYi.

He just wanted to know if Lord Bao’s illness could be cured, and if he could get to know the people of Shi Sheng Palace through Hua XiYi, all the better.

Actually, Luo Yang had a lot of conflicts.

He didn’t want to have anything to do with the Skull Fortress, yet fate made him meet both Lord Bao and Shuimei.

Good thing this secret wasn’t exposed.

But then again, if he knew how to restore Lord Bao to her former beautiful self, Luo Yang would be willing to help her.

As someone who understands medical skills, helping others heal is a rightful thing to do.

But if he cured Lord Bao’s illness, she’d probably cling to him even more, along with Shuimei.

While lost in thoughts, he reached the door of Hua XiYi’s room.

To let her recuperate peacefully, Luo Yang had arranged a new room for her.

Standing at the door, he listened but heard no movement inside, so he knocked.

He worried about walking in on the grandparents inside, that would be awkward.

Hearing Hua XiYi’s voice inside, "Hehe! Who is it?!"

Luo Yang responded, "Sister Hua, it’s me."

Hearing it was Luo Yang, footsteps quickly came to the door.

The door opened, and Luo Yang slipped inside.

Hua XiYi sneered, "Hehe, is it done?"

Suddenly asked this question, Luo Yang was stunned.

"Huh? What is done?"
