Chapter 1921: Empty Shell Bead
If the two bodyguards are removed from the private room, then only Yiye Bupo and the Tenth Mu Tan will be left.
At that time, I’ll have to find a way to get these two guys out as well.
Right now, it can only be done step by step, rushing won’t help.
Luo Yang said with a smile, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, we’re eating, they should eat too. Let them eat in the next room."
In response, Jing Tian Wuhou said, "Mr. Luo, there’s no need to be so polite."
If soft measures don’t work, at that time, force might really be necessary.
Luo Yang said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, listen to me. As bodyguards, you decide when they eat; that’s naturally reasonable. However, I feel a bit embarrassed. Let them eat too."
Expected Jing Tian Wuhou would agree, but she still refused.
It seems she’s quite cautious too.
Luo Yang said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, how about we have a private chat after the meal?"
Upon saying this, suddenly remembered the need for Yiye Bupo as a translator.
In other words, wanting to talk privately with Miss Jing Tian Wuhou is very difficult.
Jing Tian Wuhou thought for a moment and nodded.
At that time, only Yiye Bupo will be present, and when the time is right, he can be sent away.
"Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, listen to me. Are you buying Mu Tan for your own collection or for someone else?" Luo Yang asked.
Having anticipated Jing Tian Wuhou’s disappointing answer long ago, Luo Yang wasn’t upset at all.
"Mr. Luo, I am buying it for my own collection." Jing Tian Wuhou replied.
Such words could only deceive a three-year-old child.
But since Jing Tian Wuhou won’t say, Luo Yang couldn’t do anything about it.
During the meal, the Tenth Mu Tan didn’t move his chopsticks, just sat idly.
Having known the Tenth Mu Tan for so long, Luo Yang has yet to see it wanting to eat.
It’s said that Immortals dine on wind and dew, now Luo Yang sees the existence of those who don’t need food in the Tenth Mu Tan.
"Mr. Luo, your friend doesn’t eat?" Jing Tian Wuhou asked curiously.
"Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, it just ate before coming." Luo Yang said.
If Luo Yang also didn’t eat, Jing Tian Wuhou would probably suspect something was wrong with the food.
As the meal was about to end, Luo Yang still hadn’t thought of a good way to make Jing Tian Wuhou consume the Master Servant Pill.
Just then, Jing Tian Wuhou proactively asked, "Mr. Luo, where’s your Soul Bead?"
The power of the Soul Bead has already been absorbed by Luo Yang, selling the empty bead to Jing Tian Wuhou shouldn’t be an issue.
Luo Yang said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, don’t rush. Let’s talk about the Mu Tan business first, then the Soul Bead. I will help you acquire the Soul Bead."
Before Jing Tian Wuhou could speak, Xue Sha voiced impatiently, "You can’t sell her the Soul Bead!"
Luo Yang didn’t understand.
An empty shell bead, what use does it have?
Could the Soul Bead’s power automatically replenish after some time?
With lingering questions, Luo Yang asked, "Miss Mo Ye, why can’t it be sold?"
Only to hear Xue Sha say coldly, "I don’t remember the Soul Bead having any other uses, but my intuition tells me not to discard a powerless Soul Bead!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yang felt helpless.
Intuition can be very accurate at times, and ridiculously wrong at others.
Still needing Xue Sha’s help, Luo Yang decided to yield.
"Miss Mo Ye, rest assured, I won’t sell the Soul Bead. I’m just saying it." Luo Yang said.
Having received Luo Yang’s promise, Xue Sha ceased talking.
Then Jing Tian Wuhou asked, "Mr. Luo, is this Mu Tan indeed a family heirloom?"
Luo Yang nodded, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, it isn’t from my family line. It’s a heirloom from another family. This, I can assure you."
After the meal, Luo Yang settled the bill.
"Mr. Luo, would you come to my room for a chat?" Jing Tian Wuhou said.
This was exactly what Luo Yang wanted.
If he could talk privately with Jing Tian Wuhou, there would be a chance to get her to consume the Master Servant Pill.
"Alright. Let’s go." Luo Yang said.
At this point, the Tenth Mu Tan couldn’t hold back any longer.
It glared at Jing Tian Wuhou, saying coldly, "Where is the Soul Bead?!"
After Yiye Bupo translated, Jing Tian Wuhou looked at Luo Yang, amazed, "Mr. Luo, what does your friend mean?"
In reality, the Tenth Mu Tan wasn’t trying to retrieve the Soul Bead, but really wanted to ask about the whereabouts of its kin.
Luo Yang hurriedly said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, it’s nothing. It just wants to close the deal quickly. You don’t know how pressured we are. If anyone finds out we’re selling Mu Tan to you, we’d be in deep trouble. You understand."
Even if Jing Tian Wuhou wasn’t that mysterious Japan Collector, she should have heard of the Ten Great Alliances.
Jing Tian Wuhou nodded and said, "Mr. Luo, I will buy your Mu Tan, and I won’t tell anyone."
Luo Yang said, "That’s for the best. Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, let’s continue the discussion in your room then."
Between words, Luo Yang signaled to the Tenth Mu Tan to stay calm.
The deal wasn’t done yet, and the Tenth Mu Tan didn’t know what means Luo Yang would employ to extract information from Jing Tian Wuhou, so it had to surpress its inner urgency for now.
The group left the private room, and outside, Luo Yang followed behind Jing Tian Wuhou’s car.
Soon arrived at the hotel where Jing Tian Wuhou was staying.
Taking the elevator up, they reached the room door, Jing Tian Wuhou said something to the two bodyguards, and they remained outside the door.
Luo Yang, the Tenth Mu Tan, Jing Tian Wuhou and Yiye Bupo then entered the room.
Thus, Luo Yang still didn’t manage to be alone with Jing Tian Wuhou.
Even if finding a way for Jing Tian Wuhou to consume the Master Servant Pill, it’s still hard to obtain answers.
The room was spacious, not the presidential suite, but a very luxurious room, with a living room and a sitting room connected by an arched doorway.
The living room had carpet, the ceiling adorned with dazzling crystal chandeliers, below was a square low-legged rosewood table, a set of gray leather sofas arranged in a curve, opposite was a flat-screen TV.
Upon entering the room, Jing Tian Wuhou personally brewed tea and poured each a cup.
Tasting a sip, Luo Yang said, "Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, your tea brewing skills are remarkable. It’s truly a pleasure, truly a pleasure."
Jing Tian Wuhou laughed, "Mr. Luo, shall we get back to our business discussion?"
The Mu Tan was placed on the rosewood table.
"Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, listen to me. However you want to research it, you can do it in front of me. I won’t charge you for the study costs, does that work?" Luo Yang said.
Currently, there wasn’t a suitable opportunity to make Jing Tian Wuhou consume the Master Servant Pill, could only adopt an alternative way to probe information.
The secret of Mu Tan is naturally known by the Tenth Mu Tan.
But trying to extract answers from the mouth of the Tenth Mu Tan is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Thus, if information could be gathered from Jing Tian Wuhou’s words, it wouldn’t be a bad method.
Jing Tian Wuhou pondered for a while, then said, "Mr. Luo, could you wait in the next room for me, would that be alright?"
Luo Yang simply wanted to see how Jing Tian Wuhou would inspect Mu Tan.
His understanding of Mu Tan was limited, a heart full of curiosity, wanting to know more.
"Miss Jing Tian Wuhou, I’m still worried you might swap my Mu Tan. The prowess of your ninja isn’t weak, swapping my Mu Tan would be a very simple matter." Luo Yang said.
