Chapter 1543: Chapter 1543: One Look from Him, and She Softened

The two sides were at a standoff for a while.

Luo yang said, “Elder, I haven’t found the Blood Devil; why do you insist on falsely accusing me?”

He could only grit his teeth and deny.

Wuweizi was speaking based on mere speculation.

As for whether Luo yang had found the Blood Devil, there was no reliable evidence.

It’s worth noting that although Wuweizi didn’t follow him into the altar the last few times, Luo yang was searched upon exiting.

In other words, not finding the Blood Devil then somewhat proves Luo yang hadn’t found it.

But Luo yang wanted to cultivate Ferocious Power, which presented some problems.

Wuweizi had never heard of someone cultivating Ferocious Power without the Blood Devil.

Thus, this seemed to indicate Luo yang already possessed the Blood Devil.

Regardless, Wuweizi preferred to believe Luo yang had obtained the Blood Devil.

“Brother, why deceive? If you didn’t have the Blood Devil, you wouldn’t seek Elder Qingyan to learn Ferocious Power.” Wuweizi sneered.

There was some truth to this.

At this point, Luo yang could only keep denying.

“Elder, speaking like that is meaningless!” Luo yang said angrily.

“Brother, then why did you want to learn Ferocious Power?” Wuweizi asked coldly.

The two debated about the Blood Devil.

In fact, Wuweizi couldn’t confirm Luo yang had the Blood Devil in hand, so he kept probing.

With Wuweizi present, Qing Yan wouldn’t teach Ferocious Power.

Luo yang said, “Elder Qingyan, we’ll take our leave first; we’ll visit again later.”

Qing Yan didn’t stop them and said, “Please go ahead.”

Holding Zhu Zishan’s hand as he stepped outside, they saw many Blood Devil Sect disciples scattered around, appearing ready for battle.

Wuweizi followed and said, “Brother, why not leave Miss Zhu with me? I will protect her.”

Upon hearing this, both Luo yang and Zhu Zishan were furious.

It was too disrespectful to demand a hostage so blatantly.

If such words were spoken by someone from Major Powers like Eight Immortals Hall, Jiuyang Hall, and Shi Sheng Palace, it would be understandable.

But a mere Blood Devil Sect was insignificant to Luo yang.

“Elder, believe it or not, one call to my sister and you’ll regret it!” Luo yang retorted coldly.

At the mention of Hua XiYi, Wuweizi was quite apprehensive.

If Hua XiYi were to settle accounts with Wuweizi, it would indeed be troublesome.

Wuweizi was both angry and alarmed, responding coldly, “Brother, don’t try to use Laughing Girl against me! I’m not a pushover that you can squeeze at will!”

Though his expression was stern, his tone revealed a lack of confidence.

After all, Wuweizi was insignificant in front of Hua XiYi.

Power rules all.

Luo yang sneered, “Elder, better watch your tongue, or when I pass your words to my sister, she’ll knock your teeth out. You don’t have many left; better not play with fire.”

The words enraged Wuweizi to the point of agitation.

“Dare you belittle me?!”

“Elder, I warn you: once you make a move, there’s no turning back! Before coming, I informed my sister you might come looking for me.”

His forehead bulging with blue veins, fists clenched for a fight.

Yet he dared not strike, daunted by Hua XiYi’s ferocity.

The disciples gathered around, totaling twenty to thirty people.

Luo yang could easily break out, but Zhu Zishan could not.

Therefore, if a fight erupted, Zhu Zishan would likely get hurt.

For her safety, Luo yang said, “Elder, understand that wanting to learn Ferocious Power doesn’t mean I have the Blood Devil. I merely saw the formidable power of Ferocious Power and wanted to learn more. I really don’t have the Blood Devil, so why push me so hard?”

Wuweizi remained silent with a dark expression.

“Elder, let’s be friends. I wish to befriend you; if you insist on being my enemy, let’s end it here. I’m unafraid of Blood Devil Sect, and you know it!” Luo yang said calmly.

“Brother, you can’t possibly not have obtained the Blood Devil!” Wuweizi was still persistent.

Searching was pointless, so not searching made no difference.

Still, Wuweizi had to rely on Luo yang to obtain the Blood Devil and didn’t dare to completely sever ties.

“Elder, what if I said I obtained it? Are you satisfied now? But I can’t give it to you. I don’t have the Blood Devil, how could I give it to you?” Luo yang sneered.

If there were real evidence, Wuweizi wouldn’t have backed down.

But now, it’s all speculation; perhaps Luo yang truly didn’t have the Blood Devil.

Wuweizi forced a cold smile, “Brother, you are too cunning.”

Luo yang stepped forward, wrapped an arm around Wuweizi’s neck, and smiled, “Elder, we are alike. But the old ginger is hotter. Trying to secretly understand Ferocious Power can’t escape your Golden Fiery Eyes.”

These words made Wuweizi feel relieved all over.

With a chuckle, Wuweizi said, “Brother, being honest benefits you. Wanting to learn Ferocious Power, I can teach you. Provided you first find the Blood Devil. I assure you, once you give me the Blood Devil, I will teach you Ferocious Power!”

This old fox’s remark—whoever believes it would suffer.

Luo yang chuckled, “Elder, let’s settle it this way!”

But the next words from Wuweizi nearly ruined the harmonious mood.

“Brother, taking Miss Zhu with you is inconvenient, why not…”

This time Zhu Zishan couldn’t contain her anger.

“You want to use me to threaten my husband?! Not a chance!”

Thinking her father might have been harmed by Wuweizi, now targeting her, Zhu Zishan felt exceptionally furious.

“Miss Zhu…”

“Elder, I warn you again: if you dare target my wife, I’ll cut ties with you, and no more cooperation! Do you understand?!”

Being rebuked by a young man before the disciples, Wuweizi felt flushed.

Still, with his cunning, he exchanged a glare and regained some composure.

“Brother, okay, we’ll do as you say. I meant well, no malice intended. Since you reject my goodwill, so be it. If you encounter difficulty, call me.” Wuweizi said.

“Elder, cooperation requires friendliness. Don’t always try to take advantage of me. I’m helping you get the Blood Devil; isn’t that a major advantage for you?” Luo yang said.

Wuweizi nodded.

“Brother, I’ll see you home,” Wuweizi said warmly.

“No need for him!” Zhu Zishan refused outright.

Seeing Wuweizi irritated her immensely.

If she had the capability, Zhu Zishan would have targeted Wuweizi long ago.

Wuweizi, still unwilling to let Luo yang understand Ferocious Power prematurely, said, “Brother, I’ll prepare a vehicle for you.”

The implication was clear enough: they would return together.

If refused again, it would lead to more arguments.

Luo yang said, “Alright, thank you.”

Thus, Wuweizi had someone prepare an Audi for Luo yang.

In the car, Zhu Zishan asked irritably, “Why continue cooperating with him?!”

Luo yang said, “Sister Zhu, my wife, I’m worried you might get hurt.”

A caring look was worth a thousand words.

The anger in Zhu Zishan’s eyes instantly diminished by more than half, replaced with a gentle gaze.
