Chapter 971 - 0971: He Can Silence a Beauty with His Mouth
Chapter 971: Chapter 0971: He Can Silence a Beauty with His MouthLuo Yang didn’t believe Gu Xue when she said she couldn’t get in touch with the people from Skull Fortress, and he had his reasons for it.
Gu Xue must have made a deal with Skull Fortress before.
If Skull Fortress sent just an ordinary member, Gu Xue would likely think they weren’t sincere, and the deal would fall through.
Thus, Gu Xue must have at least met someone important from Skull Fortress.
Luo Yang asked, "Sister Xue, what mutual interests do you share with Skull Fortress?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Xue responded straightforwardly, "They’re helping me get revenge, and I’m helping them find the Blood Devil. Hey, every word I said is true."
At the moment, she seemed afraid of Luo Yang doubting her, especially since she had embarrassed herself in front of him earlier.
With a chuckle, Luo Yang pecked at Gu Xue’s red lips and said, "Sister Xue, let the past be the past. I’ve already told you, whatever you say, I’ll believe you."
Gu Xue clung tightly to Luo Yang’s panther-like waist and said, "Hey, then hurry and think of a way to save my sisters!"
If the three Gu sisters weren’t the daughters of the Sect Master of Ten Thousand Souls Sect, this would be much easier.
They couldn’t let Hua XiYi and the others know about this; otherwise, the three Gu sisters wouldn’t just die at the hands of Skull Fortress—they’d meet their end under the knives of Eight Immortals Hall and Jiuyang Hall.
This was where the trouble lay: they needed to rescue Gu Xiang and Gu Yun discreetly.
To put it simply, this was a mission that Luo Yang had to accomplish alone!
If they were dealing with ordinary thugs, Luo Yang could easily achieve his goal.
But now he had to face the people of Skull Fortress, and since they hadn’t clashed with them directly before, there was no way of knowing what Skull Fortress specialized in.
As the saying goes: "Know your enemy and yourself, and you can win a hundred battles."
However, they knew nothing about Skull Fortress, and it wouldn’t be surprising if bold heroism led to early demise.
Yet the three Gu sisters were Luo Yang’s wives, and he couldn’t stand idly by while his wife came to harm.
How to successfully rescue Gu Xiang and Gu Yun was a thorny problem.
Luo Yang racked his brain,
"No way!" the woman rejected her outright.
Gu Xue shot Luo Yang an inquiring look, waiting for his direction.
It seemed Skull Fortress wanted Hong Jiaxin, and delaying the time slightly was something they might accept.
Luo Yang shook his head, signaling Gu Xue not to compromise.
Following his cue, Gu Xue said, "Okay, then fine! I can’t help you! I’ll call the police!"
The other end of the line went quiet for a moment.
Presumably, they were discussing, and after a while, that same woman spoke again, "Fine, by tomorrow night. But if you don’t deliver by then, your two friends will definitely die!"
After ending the call, Luo Yang felt conflicted.
Did the people of Skull Fortress not know about the three Gu sisters?
Gu Xue claimed they were just her friends, and the people of Skull Fortress seemingly believed it?
This was a huge question mark, and Luo Yang suspected whether Gu Xue might be using some sort of self-sacrifice tactic to deceive him.
Gu Xue lying wasn’t a first. Even if it was a lie this time, it wouldn’t be the last.
Seeing Luo Yang thinking silently, Gu Xue said urgently, "Hey! Think of something quickly!"
She had no one else to rely on but Luo Yang now.
Luo Yang was completely in the dark about how many Skull Fortress operatives were lying in wait at the resort.
Charging in recklessly wouldn’t guarantee success.
But he couldn’t ask Hua XiYi for assistance either—if Skull Fortress decided to go for broke, the three Gu sisters’ identities would be exposed.
The outcome was predictable: Master Hua and Hua XiYi would join forces to eliminate the three Gu sisters.
Such a terrifying scene was something Luo Yang wanted to avoid at all costs.
With a cold laugh, Luo Yang asked, "Sister Xue, the people of Skull Fortress don’t really know about you?"
His mocking tone was unmistakable.
Gu Xue caught on to the subtext and pouted, "Hey! They only know what we are, but they don’t know that they’re my blood sisters!"
That scenario seemed plausible enough.
To successfully rescue Gu Xiang and Gu Yun, they needed to figure out how many operatives Skull Fortress had stationed at the resort.
Otherwise, any rash actions could cost Gu Xiang and Gu Yun their lives.
