CHAPTER 1186: CHAPTER 1186: THE TENDER SIDE OF THE TOMBOY

It’s also possible that Master Hua wants to kill Hua XiYi. Although Eight Immortals Hall and Jiuyang Hall are allies, they are currently competitors concerning the issue of Blood Devil.

Besides, during multiple meetings, Master Hua and Hua XiYi clashed.

Aside from Master Hua bearing the greatest suspicion, Gu Xue ranks next.

At that time inside the Altar, Gu Xue intended to make a move against Hua XiYi.

Luo Yang, considering the bigger picture, stopped Gu Xue’s action.

But who can guarantee that Gu Xue won’t make another attempt on Hua XiYi?

This matter has to be clarified with Gu Xue, otherwise, if the situation becomes unmanageable later, it’ll be too late.

Even if it’s Gu Xue’s doing, Luo Yang cannot act hastily.

After all, the hatred of the three Gu sisters is immense, and anyone would be similar to them.

They’re not targeting innocent people, but seeking revenge against their enemies, which is actually quite normal.

At this thought, Luo Yang was startled.

Earlier, Hua XiYi joked about him being an assassin. Could there be a deeper meaning?

If Hua XiYi has already figured out the origin of the assailant, then the three Gu sisters might not survive.

With Jiuyang Hall’s power, it would be effortless to annihilate the three Gu sisters.

"Sister Hua, how’s your injury? Let me check your pulse?"

"Hehe! A dying camel is bigger than a horse. To kill the Baby, not so easy! Don’t worry."

Upon hearing this, the blood at the door was not Hua XiYi’s!

A mix of worry and relief washed over him.

The worry being that if the assassin was Gu Xue, she might already be badly injured; the relief being that Hua XiYi’s injuries were not severe.

While checking Hua XiYi’s pulse, he continued probing: "Sister Hua, did you get a look at that person’s face?"

Hua XiYi lowered her brows and recalled for a moment, then said, "Hehe! No."

As she’s a meticulous beauty, Luo Yang couldn’t be sure if her words were true or false.

"Sister Hua, do you know who that person was?" Luo Yang further inquired.

"Hehe! Seems like remnants of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect!" Hua XiYi spat with hatred.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang’s mind went blank for a few seconds.

Hua XiYi glanced at Luo Yang’s stunned look and smirked, "Hehe, did that scare you?"

Coming to senses, Luo Yang promptly said, "Sister Hua, didn’t they say Ten Thousand Souls Sect had already been eradicated?"

Suddenly, Hua XiYi’s eyes became sharp.

"Hehe, who did you hear that from?!"

After all, Hua XiYi hadn’t mentioned Ten Thousand Souls Sect to Luo Yang.

"Sister Hua, let me tell you, but don’t tell anyone else. Otherwise, I’d be breaking my word. Wuweizi." Luo Yang said without hesitation.

"Hehe! His tongue is too long; it’ll be cut off sooner or later!" Hua XiYi sneered.

Though their relationship was relatively friendly, Hua XiYi remained quite vigilant regarding sensitive topics.

This indicates that Luo Yang has yet to fully win her favor and must continue to work hard.

"Sister Hua, if that person shows up again, would you recognize them?" Luo Yang asked again.

"Hehe! What’s wrong with you?" Hua XiYi sized up Luo Yang.

Worried it was Gu Xue, if Hua XiYi recognized Gu Xue upon returning to Hongyun Brigade, it would be disastrous.

Luo Yang said, "Sister Hua, I want to help you avenge. If you can recognize them, I’ll slap them first!"

Pleased with his answer, Hua XiYi felt slightly satisfied.

"Hehe! If we find them, you don’t have to act; Baby would do it!" Hua XiYi said angrily.

It’s estimated the assassin attacked but didn’t succeed.

Reflecting back, Hua XiYi became even more furious.

"Sister Hua, as long as you’re okay. It’s not advisable to linger here; let’s leave tonight, heal at home, and return when you’re better." Luo Yang urged.

"Hehe, going home? Where do you mean?" Hua XiYi chuckled.

Upon hearing Luo Yang suggest returning to Hongyun Brigade, Hua XiYi paused.

Leaving Hua XiYi in the hotel room was unsafe.

If anything happened to her, it would be unfavorable for Luo Yang.

Anyway, Hua XiYi was now giving face to Luo Yang.

When Luo Yang received bullying from Master Hua, Hua XiYi would be the first to stand up for him.

Moreover, he needed Hua XiYi’s strength to vie for Blood Devil.

Hence protecting Hua XiYi’s life is more beneficial than detrimental to Luo Yang.

"Hehe! Not going!"

Only during such private moments could Luo Yang appreciate the gentle side of this tough woman.

Usually, what could be seen and heard would undoubtedly be Hua XiYi’s formidable persona.
