Chapter 1941: Waiting for the Right Moment
Keeping the Tenth Mu Tan at least can attract the attention of the Ten Great Alliances.
This way, Luo Yang’s pressure won’t be so great.
Hua XiYi said: "Hehe, if you make a move, you can at least injure the Tenth Mu Tan, right?"
Luo Yang replied: "How could that be? Sister Hua, Aunt Thirteen, you overestimate me."
If this topic continues, Luo Yang is worried that he’ll slip up.
As the saying goes: the more you say, the more mistakes you make.
For some things, saying less is safer.
After all, in the Array, it was Luo Yang who took down the person who became a Demon.
Without waiting for Aunt Thirteen and Hua XiYi to respond, Luo Yang continued: "You just need to set up the Array properly, and I’ll take the Tenth Mu Tan inside. By the way, I’ve been out for quite a while, I should go back and check if the Tenth Mu Tan is still in the room."
Luo Yang doesn’t press about Hong Jiaxin’s matters, which naturally puts Aunt Thirteen and Hua XiYi at ease.
"Hehe, if the Tenth Mu Tan gets trapped in the Array, you’ll have made a great contribution." Hua XiYi said.
"Sister Hua, I don’t want any credit; it’s all yours." Luo Yang said.
If he can get away, Luo Yang would wash his hands of it all.
Right now, he’s entangled, unable to get out.
During the conversation, Hua XiYi got off the car first.
Luo Yang followed and got off the car, saying: "As soon as the Array is set up, notify me immediately. I’m going to check on the Tenth Mu Tan. It’s still thinking about going to Shi Sheng Palace and the Eight Immortals Hall."
Hearing this, Aunt Thirteen said coldly: "Kid, if you don’t take it there, will it go?"
Hehe, Luo Yang just smiled without responding.
Aunt Thirteen and Hua XiYi clearly didn’t want to go upstairs yet, so Luo Yang went up first.
Returning to the room, he saw the Tenth Mu Tan still there.
He wanted to meet the boss of 008, but it didn’t succeed.
If the Ninth Guide already knows that 008 is helping Luo Yang, keeping 008 around is of no use.
Letting 008 go back, making her take the Master Servant Pill again later would be difficult.
Thinking it over, he couldn’t make up his mind.
He could only keep 008 for now and decide in a few days.
Seeing the Tenth Mu Tan deep in thought, Luo Yang said: "Brother Mu Tan, what are you thinking about?"
The Tenth Mu Tan coldly said: "When can I go find the Night Puppet?"
This matter, Luo Yang can’t help with.
But he couldn’t say it directly.
"Brother Mu Tan, don’t worry. I will definitely help you find it." Luo Yang said.
Knowing that the Tenth Mu Tan is eager to find the Night Puppet, if Luo Yang delays for a month or two, it might be useless for the Tenth Mu Tan to find the Night Puppet.
The Tenth Mu Tan coldly said: "If you don’t help me find the Night Puppet soon, you will regret it!"
It’s unlikely that the Tenth Mu Tan could kill Luo Yang on its own combat power.
Luo Yang coldly said: "Brother Mu Tan, we are partners, no need to glare at me. I said I’ll help you find the Night Puppet, and I will."
It seems the Tenth Mu Tan also saw through Luo Yang’s intentions, angrily saying: "Are you stalling for time?"
Seeing Luo Yang nod, the Tenth Mu Tan’s expression darkened.
Luo Yang laughed: "Brother Mu Tan, you questioned me like that. If I shook my head, you wouldn’t believe me, right? I nodded, which aligns with your thoughts, yet you’re unhappy hearing it. That’s curious."
Upon hearing this, the Tenth Mu Tan’s mood indeed improved a bit.
"If you help me find the Night Puppet, your wishes will also come true!" the Tenth Mu Tan said.
It meant Luo Yang’s desire to settle scores with the Ten Great Alliances.
This was indeed what Luo Yang wanted to do.
The problem is, if the Tenth Mu Tan finds the nine other brothers, the power of the Mu Tan Ten Brothers will be very strong.
Without the Ten Great Alliances’ interference, he would have to face the trouble of the Mu Tan Ten Brothers.
This shows that bolstering the Tenth Mu Tan and eliminating the Ten Great Alliances won’t let Luo Yang lead an ordinary life.
He would still have to walk through the Jianghu.
"Brother Mu Tan, I’m looking for someone to help gather information. Very soon, I’ll help you find the Night Puppet." Luo Yang said.
"Didn’t you say you already know?!" the Tenth Mu Tan said angrily.
To calm the Tenth Mu Tan, Luo Yang had to say that at the time.
Now that the Tenth Mu Tan demands immediate help finding the Night Puppet, Luo Yang could only find excuses.
"Brother Mu Tan, didn’t I say? I need to find my leader first, I should find her in a day or two. Then I’ll help you find the Night Puppet." Luo Yang said.
"You find your leader, I’ll find my Night Puppet!" the Tenth Mu Tan glared at Luo Yang.
Saying this, it was about to go outside.
Luo Yang quickly blocked the Tenth Mu Tan’s path, saying: "Brother Mu Tan, I need your help. Without your help, I cannot find my leader. Rest assured, I roughly know where the Night Puppet is, I’ll go with you then."
The Tenth Mu Tan coldly said: "Where is your leader?!"
If he says at the Eight Immortals Hall, he cannot avoid going there.
Luo Yang said: "I’m investigating, once I find out, I’ll go and rescue her. By the way, Brother Mu Tan, to get to the Night Puppet, we might have to break through an Array, are you afraid?"
When the Ten Great Alliances set up the Nine Star Chain Array again, Luo Yang planned to take the Tenth Mu Tan inside, estimating it would recognize the Array.
So, he mentioned it now to avoid arousing the Tenth Mu Tan’s suspicion later.
The Tenth Mu Tan said nothing, so Luo Yang added: "Brother Mu Tan, if you don’t dare to go, then forget it. I fear you’ll blame me then."
Knowing the Tenth Mu Tan is quite astute yet stubborn.
In other words, provocation might have some effect.
The Tenth Mu Tan, hearing this, said disdainfully: "An Array like that is nothing!"
This was exactly what Luo Yang needed.
"Brother Mu Tan, don’t be careless. If you keep being like this, you’ll easily get into trouble. If you’re dealt with, my hopes will be dashed too." Luo Yang advised sincerely.
"Just tell me where the Night Puppet is!" the Tenth Mu Tan coldly demanded.
Right now, the Ten Great Alliances have not yet set up the Nine Star Chain Array.
Luo Yang said: "Brother Mu Tan, didn’t I say? I need your help to find my leader first. Once I find my leader, I’ll help you find the Night Puppet."
He implied that if he first helped the Tenth Mu Tan find the Night Puppet, the Tenth Mu Tan might not honor its promise anymore.
"If you deceive me, you won’t have a good ending!" the Tenth Mu Tan threatened.
"Brother Mu Tan, you tell me, what counts as deceiving you?" Luo Yang coldly replied.
Facing the Tenth Mu Tan’s threats, Luo Yang wasn’t the least bit tense.
After all, he had the strength to at least tie with the Tenth Mu Tan.
If the opportunity arose, he might even eliminate the Tenth Mu Tan.
Of course, this required the timely appearance of the mysterious Golden Light in his mind.
"If you don’t help me find the Night Puppet, you’re deceiving me!" the Tenth Mu Tan said.
"Brother Mu Tan, then you’re deliberately making it difficult for me. For instance, if I took you to find the Night Puppet, it may not be there. Because it might have been moved elsewhere, you understand?" Luo Yang explained.
The Tenth Mu Tan did not immediately respond.
Luo Yang further said: "Brother Mu Tan, you need to be reasonable. I’m helping you, just know that. We are partners; if I don’t help you, do I help the Ten Great Alliances?"
Seeing the Tenth Mu Tan’s disdainful smirk, he knew it didn’t agree with Luo Yang’s reasoning.
