CHAPTER 1551: CHAPTER 1551: LIVES HANG IN THE BALANCE

Luo Yang was secretly delighted.

But the words Aunt Thirteen spoke next made Luo Yang nervous again.

"Kid, if I knew how to restore the leader of Skull Fortress to his original form, I’d tell you. But I don’t know." Aunt Thirteen said.

"Aunt Thirteen girl, let me have a face-to-face talk with your Palace Master." Luo Yang said.

This request was not allowed.

"Kid, our Palace Master won’t meet with you randomly. Give up." Aunt Thirteen said.

"I can help you deal with Skull Fortress. Such a major issue, and the Palace Master won’t see me?" Luo Yang said.

Seeing Aunt Thirteen nod, Luo Yang was a bit annoyed.

If there’s no way to negotiate with Shi Sheng Palace, then Shuiyue and Jinghua are certainly doomed.

Luo Yang said, "You haven’t even reported to the Palace Master yet, so how do you know she won’t meet me?"

With a cold laugh, Aunt Thirteen said, "Based on past experiences, the Palace Master won’t meet you. Why bother doing it?"

If he can’t see the Palace Master, there’s no way to know how to restore Lord Bao’s original appearance.

Luo Yang felt a bit tired and thought he might as well return to Hongyun Brigade with Hong Jiaxin and the beauties.

But he did have some connection with Shuiyue and Jinghua, and leaving them behind would bring regret when recalling later.

There’s still a chance to save them now, and Luo Yang didn’t want to give up.

"Aunt Thirteen girl, do me a favor, you must have a way to let me see the Palace Master, right?" Luo Yang said.

"No." Aunt Thirteen said seriously.

To see someone, one’s status must be of a similar level to have a chance.

Otherwise, if the social status differs greatly, there’s really no possibility of meeting.

Luo Yang said, "Aunt Thirteen girl, I need to talk to the Palace Master about her daughter’s matter."

Startled, Aunt Thirteen didn’t respond immediately.

"She won’t talk to you!"

After a while, Aunt Thirteen said.

"If her daughter is about to die, she doesn’t care?" Luo Yang said coldly.

"How could Miss Hong die? She’s living perfectly well?" Third Aunt said with a cold laugh.

The conversation reached a dead end.

"Do you really not need my help?" Luo Yang asked again.

"No need! Kid, just do your job well!" Aunt Thirteen reminded.

Luo Yang knew he had to take a bold approach.

Resolute, he decided to take a risk, maybe there was still a chance.

With a chuckle, Luo Yang said, "Aunt Thirteen girl, you might not know what I told the people at Skull Fortress."

Aunt Thirteen grew curious, coldly saying, "What did you say?"

Words shouldn’t be said recklessly.

But sometimes without risking to state the truth, there’s no way to find a solution.

"I promised Skull Fortress I’d lure you into an ambush circle. If you don’t help, they’ll kill me and my friends," Luo Yang said.

"Kid! You dare do such a thing?!" Aunt Thirteen was startled.

Luo Yang nodded, indicating he wasn’t lying.

This was a serious matter, Aunt Thirteen angrily asked, "What is your purpose for doing this?!"

Luo Yang said, "Aunt Thirteen girl, isn’t it to help you guys destroy Skull Fortress? As a result, you don’t need my help, now this is troublesome."

After a long period of silence, Aunt Thirteen didn’t speak again.

The circumstances were too tricky, Luo Yang said, "Aunt Thirteen girl, the current situation is, if you can’t eliminate Skull Fortress, Skull Fortress will kill me and my friends. Since you don’t want my help, I dare not stay here any longer. I need to take my friends back immediately. When you guys eliminate Skull Fortress someday, then come find me."

Saying that, he immediately headed to leave the room.

"Kid! Don’t go!" Aunt Thirteen grabbed his hand.

Situations had turned this way, Aunt Thirteen also realized it was troublesome.

Yet she couldn’t be sure if Luo Yang was lying, considering the possibility of deceit.

"Aunt Thirteen girl, even if you want to protect me and my friends, it’s not realistic. Do you have enough people to protect even my family and friends?" Luo Yang seriously said.

Shi Sheng Palace indeed lacks that capability.

"You won’t discuss such a big matter with Grandma Gu?!" Aunt Thirteen’s anger rose.

"Aunt Thirteen girl, you’re straightforward, I thought you’d do it. Turns out you’ve chickened out. Well, anyway, I’ll return home for now. Wait until you clean up Skull Fortress, then I’ll come out again." Luo Yang said.

Aunt Thirteen wouldn’t let Luo Yang leave.

Grasping his hand, refusing to let go at all.

"Kid! Be honest, are you helping Skull Fortress to eliminate us, or helping us to eliminate Skull Fortress?!" Aunt Thirteen stared intently at Luo Yang.

"Aunt Thirteen girl, am I that stupid? Skull Fortress can eliminate your alliance? Only you can eliminate Skull Fortress. Even if I’m stupid I can see the situation clearly." Luo Yang said.

Hearing this, Aunt Thirteen’s eyes were no longer as sharp.

The two kept silent in the room, Luo Yang grew even more anxious.

After all, time was passing, and there wasn’t much left for Luo Yang.

If a day passed without Luo Yang bringing back a way to restore Lord Bao’s appearance.

Then Shuiyue and Jinghua would be done for.

Now Luo Yang even thought about finding a way to have Aunt Thirteen take the Master Servant Pill, then have her take him to see the Palace Master.

"Grandma Gu can’t make the decision, ask the Palace Master first, see the situation!" Aunt Thirteen said.

"Then ask now!" Luo Yang urged.

Aunt Thirteen was quite curious, unsure why Luo Yang was so anxious.

From Luo Yang’s expression, it was clear he didn’t want to waste even a second.

"You must be hiding something from Grandma Gu! Spill it!" Aunt Thirteen coldly said.

"Aunt Thirteen girl, what could I be hiding from you?" Luo Yang retorted.

If everything was laid out, new complications might arise.

"If you don’t say it, forget about Grandma Gu contacting the Palace Master!" Aunt Thirteen smirked.

This threat was indeed effective.

"I have two friends in the hands of Skull Fortress; if time isn’t pressed, they’ll die." Luo Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Thirteen vaguely guessed who it was.

Seeing Aunt Thirteen smile, Luo Yang was furious.

"Aunt Thirteen girl, there’s nothing funny about this. Lives are at stake." Luo Yang said.

"Turns out you’re trying to save your wife! That’s not Grandma Gu’s concern! Go play your game!" Aunt Thirteen said coldly.

Not telling her, she’d ask again.

And telling her, things changed again.

Luo Yang said, "Aunt Thirteen girl, let me explain. It was me who sent the two there, saying there was an important discovery, namely you guys were about to attack Skull Fortress. Then Skull Fortress folks came to me, asking if it’s true. I said it’s true. If eventually you don’t attack Skull Fortress, then my two friends are doomed!"

After a pause, he continued.

"I was also intending to help my two friends permanently break free from Skull Fortress’s grasp; otherwise, who’d risk such peril? Well, you guys now treat such a significant matter with a laughing attitude; forget it. If my friends die, my heart also dies, and I’ll never help you again. Goodbye."

As he spoke, he was about to leave the room again.

But Aunt Thirteen wouldn’t let Luo Yang go.

"Whether you can return home or not, we decide, not you!" Aunt Thirteen reminded.
