Chapter 1937: More Complicated Than Imagined
As soon as the topic of calling Hong Jiaxin came up, Aunt Thirteen started to evade the issue.
Aunt Thirteen said, "Kid, I haven’t even managed to contact her, how can I let you call her?"
This sounded reasonable.
In fact, it’s not difficult for Aunt Thirteen to find Hong Jiaxin.
After all, Shi Sheng Palace and Eight Immortals Hall have some connections.
Just by calling the higher-ups of Eight Immortals Hall, they could find out where Zhang Jing is.
"Aunt Thirteen, you all still don’t want to help me. Fine, I’ll go find the class monitor myself." Luo Yang said.
He was ready to move to the front seat, but the two beauties each grabbed Luo Yang’s arms, preventing him from getting out of the car.
"Haha, what’s the hurry? Sit down first, we can talk until everyone is satisfied." Hua XiYi said with a smile.
Saying he’s not familiar with them would be inaccurate.
Actually, Luo Yang was somewhat familiar with Hua XiYi and Aunt Thirteen.
However, not to the extent of absolute trust.
Helpless, Luo Yang had to sit back down.
The two beauties wouldn’t let Luo Yang go easily, after all, they still needed him to watch over The Tenth Mu Tan.
Hua XiYi continued, "Haha, your class monitor should be fine."
With her saying this, Luo Yang thought it might not be a bad thing.
But not knowing for sure, he couldn’t feel at ease.
"Sister Hua, Aunt Thirteen, what’s really going on? Just tell me." Luo Yang said.
"Kid, haven’t you already figured it out?" Aunt Thirteen retorted.
Already figured out?
Luo Yang’s mind clicked.
After some thinking, Luo Yang asked, "Are you referring to the bloodline issue?"
Aunt Thirteen nodded slightly.
Bloodline?
Luo Yang only knew these two characters, but didn’t understand their meaning.
With a chuckle, Luo Yang said, "Aunt Thirteen, why did your Shi Sheng Palace choose to help Eight Immortals Hall, making it stronger?"
Aunt Thirteen was taken aback, obviously surprised by Luo Yang’s question.
"Kid, what does that have to do with you?" Aunt Thirteen again countered.
"Aunt Thirteen, matters concerning the class monitor are my matters." Luo Yang stated seriously.
The cabin fell silent again.
After a long while, Aunt Thirteen said, "Kid, I told you I can assure you, your class monitor will be fine. Trust me."
Luo Yang sneered, "Is it really that hard to let me talk to the class monitor?"
It seemed Aunt Thirteen’s bottom line was not letting Luo Yang find Hong Jiaxin.
"Kid, she wants to see Mother; are you going to stop her?" Aunt Thirteen asked.
The Palace Master of Shi Sheng Palace is Hong Jiaxin’s mother, and the daughter meeting the mother is perfectly justified.
Luo Yang indeed shouldn’t meddle.
The problem was, mixed in were many complicated matters.
In other words, Hong Jiaxin might just be a pawn.
The so-called meeting with Mother is probably just an excuse.
Luo Yang pinpointed: "Aunt Thirteen, do you have any conspiracy?"
This remark made Aunt Thirteen blush with a coquettish anger: "Kid, what do you mean? I’m her aunt, would I harm her?"
This also seemed logical.
The problem was, sometimes what Aunt Thirteen found reasonable might be one-sided.
After all, something Aunt Thirteen deemed right might not be good for Hong Jiaxin.
Hong Jiaxin might have agreed to go with Zhang Jing after hearing about her biological mother.
In fact, Hong Jiaxin was unaware that Eight Immortals Hall wanted her to make it stronger.
"Aunt Thirteen, if you won’t let me call the class monitor, I’ll go find her myself."
Saying this, he glanced at Hua XiYi and Aunt Thirteen, then continued.
"How about this, Sister Hua, Aunt Thirteen, if you’re brave enough to take my poison, then I’ll believe you’re not deceiving me." Luo Yang said.
If in a moment of rashness the two beauties nodded, they could be given the Master Servant Pill.
At that time, many secrets could be extracted from them.
Both beauties showed disdainful smiles.
"Haha, Baby taking your poison? Nice try!" Hua XiYi was the first to oppose.
"Kid, what are you plotting?!" Aunt Thirteen snapped.
Looks like getting them to take the Master Servant Pill is unlikely.
Luo Yang sneered, "Aunt Thirteen, Sister Hua, I need to use the car, please get out. Oh, and help me get The Tenth Mu Tan down, I want to go out for a spin with it."
Aunt Thirteen pouted: "Kid, is this a threat?"
When all else fails, using The Tenth Mu Tan to pressure Hua XiYi and Aunt Thirteen might be viable.
"Aunt Thirteen, since you won’t let me call the class monitor, I have to find her myself. You’re not telling me anything; I can’t be at ease." Luo Yang said.
"Kid, I said I can use my life to assure you, Hong Jiaxin will be fine!" Aunt Thirteen impatiently said.
No incident does not mean Hong Jiaxin will be happy.
Luo Yang said: "Aunt Thirteen, if the class monitor doesn’t agree and you force her to do something, will she still be happy?"
Aunt Thirteen was left speechless.
Seems she agreed with Luo Yang.
"Aunt Thirteen, let me tell you. If something benefits the class monitor, I won’t interfere." Luo Yang said.
"After you call her and confirm she’s willing, you won’t interfere in this matter anymore?" Aunt Thirteen suddenly reconsidered.
Luo Yang nodded.
Then Aunt Thirteen took out her phone to make a call.
Listening to her phone call, it was clear she was calling the higher-ups of Eight Immortals Hall.
But from Aunt Thirteen’s increasingly tense expression, it was clear the situation was more complex than expected.
After finishing the call, Aunt Thirteen stood there stunned.
Luo Yang asked: "What’s going on?"
Actually, nearby, he heard bits like someone saying "she hasn’t returned."
The "she" might refer to Zhang Jing or possibly Hong Jiaxin.
Aunt Thirteen muttered: "Zhang Jing deceived everyone!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yang was even more bewildered, unable to differentiate left from right.
How did Zhang Jing deceive everyone?
As Luo Yang waited, Aunt Thirteen said: "She took Hong Jiaxin away but didn’t bring her back to Eight Immortals Hall!"
Hearing this, Luo Yang’s response was a cold sneer.
From various signs, it appeared to be a hard-luck ploy by Aunt Thirteen.
"Aunt Thirteen, what do you mean? By your explanation, I no longer need your help?" Luo Yang said coldly.
Aunt Thirteen glared at Luo Yang.
"Kid, you don’t believe me?!" Aunt Thirteen lashed out.
When Luo Yang looked at Hua XiYi, she nodded.
"Sister Hua, are you sure this isn’t made up?" Luo Yang asked.
"Haha, there’s no need to deceive you." Hua XiYi replied.
It’s known that Jiuyang Hall and Eight Immortals Hall had agreements.
If Zhang Jing deceived everyone, how could Jiuyang Hall not intervene?
Luo Yang asked coldly: "Sister Hua, then does your Jiuyang Hall receive no benefits? Just letting the affair end like this?"
Hua XiYi sneered: "Haha, what benefits has Jiuyang Hall taken?"
This counter-question, Luo Yang couldn’t refute, as he wasn’t clear on what agreement Jiuyang Hall and Eight Immortals Hall intended to fulfill.
