Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125: Unexpected

Shuiyue and Jinghua are both personal maids of Lord Bao.

However, Jinghua is more ambitious than Shuiyue.

"Shuiyue, I say, if he’s only pretending to protect us, it will be disastrous. We must find a way to ensure he genuinely protects us," Jinghua whispered.

"You’re courting death again. Are you still not afraid after what happened last time?" Shuiyue reminded.

"I just glanced more than a few times at that guy, and the Lord wanted to kill me!" Jinghua complained.

In fact, Jinghua hadn’t done much; she merely gazed a little more at the handsome man serving the Lord, which sparked the Lord’s jealousy.

"He’s the Lord’s man, we shouldn’t compete with the Lord," Shuiyue said.

"Hmph! I’m going to compete!" Jinghua huffed.

Seeing she couldn’t persuade her confidante, Shuiyue let it go.

...

...

Luo yang and Hua XiYi returned to the staircase.

"Heh, they don’t look like Zhu Zishan," Hua XiYi sneered.

Listening to this, Luo yang thought to himself, that’s not good.

Generally speaking, if they are relatives, there should be some facial similarities.

Since Shuiyue and Jinghua are not Zhu Zishan’s cousins, naturally there’s no blood relation, and they appear entirely different.

But there are exceptions.

For instance, some may resemble their mother, while others resemble their father.

In other words, even relatives may not resemble each other.

This shows that Hua XiYi is a very attentive person, able to spot flaws from the smallest clues.

Luo yang had to be extra cautious to prevent any mishaps.

"If they looked very much like her, would people think they were half-sisters?" Luo yang chuckled.

This rhetorical question actually shut Hua XiYi up.

Inviting Hua XiYi out, Luo yang still wanted to inquire about the Soul Bead and see if she knew anything about it.

"Sister Hua..."

Saying this, Luo yang first peeked out into the corridor to ensure no one was eavesdropping.

Seeing Luo yang acting mysteriously, Hua XiYi was very curious.

Luo yang was about to whisper something to her when they heard a door opening, prompting him to place his index finger on his lips, signaling Hua XiYi to wait a moment.

He then peeked out again, seeing Tang Guihua coming out from a room.

"Sister Guihua, I just need to tell Sister Hua something. I’ll be back quickly," Luo yang said first.

Glancing up and seeing Luo yang at the other end of the corridor, Tang Guihua went back into the room after listening.

She didn’t know what Luo yang was up to, but she believed he was handling something.

"Hehe! Just say whatever it is," Hua XiYi urged.

After considering for a moment, Luo yang decided to speak up.

The three Gu sisters didn’t want to tell Luo yang the truth about the Soul Bead, possibly due to a hidden concern.

The Soul Beast claimed the Luminous Pearl was the Soul Bead, and Luo yang couldn’t ascertain the truth.

Generally, the Soul Beast wouldn’t dare lie to Luo yang.

But it might have been mistaken; that’s a possibility too.

Asking others is the only way to truly confirm whether it is the Soul Bead or not.

Moreover, he wanted to figure out the function of the Soul Bead.

Being something valuable to the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, it naturally has its special use.

Luo yang just didn’t understand for now.

He asked the three Gu sisters, but they were unwilling to say.

Or perhaps they truly didn’t know.

Among the people he knew, Hua XiYi was more knowledgeable.

If it were about clothing or cosmetics, he could simply ask Tang Guihua.

For mysterious and eerie items like this, only Hua XiYi could provide guidance.

Right now, the most suitable person to verify this is Hua XiYi.

She’s from Jiuyang Hall and has seen quite a bit.

After thinking for a moment, Luo yang said, "Sister Hua, have you ever heard of the Soul Bead?"

Unexpectedly, Hua XiYi’s reaction to this question took Luo yang by surprise.

He thought she’d calmly answer "yes" or "no," but instead, her face changed dramatically, and she glared at Luo yang warily, looking as if facing a formidable enemy.

In that flash of a moment, Luo yang arrived at a conclusion: he absolutely must not let Hua XiYi know he possesses the Soul Bead.

"Sister Hua! What’s wrong?" Luo yang exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha! Where did you hear about the Soul Bead?" Hua XiYi asked.

Luo yang said it was from a friend, but Hua XiYi pursued by asking which friend.

Bear in mind, when a lie is constantly attacked, it can fall apart.

With Hua XiYi’s persistent probing, Luo yang found it difficult to maintain his story.

Thinking quickly, Luo yang decided to be proactive.

"Sister Hua, you tell me what the Soul Bead is first, then I’ll answer your question," Luo yang said.

If Hua XiYi refused to speak, Luo yang had an excuse not to give her an answer.

This maximizes the protection of his lie from being exposed.

Otherwise, if Hua XiYi learned Luo yang had the Soul Bead, the consequences would be severe.

Judging from Hua XiYi’s alarming reaction earlier, it’s clear she is particularly sensitive to Soul Beads, even more so than Blood Devil.

Conversely, Luo yang began to feel that the three Gu sisters had lied, and the Soul Beast was truthful.

Yet, what the Soul Bead actually is, Luo yang was unaware.

As the saying goes: Curiosity killed the cat.

To be honest, when a person’s curiosity reaches a certain level, not even death can stop the pursuit of truth.

Luo yang felt this way now; he knew the danger was great, but he couldn’t resist probing into the secret.

If left unclear, itches his heart, and he’ll keep thinking about it.

"Haha! You don’t need to know! Just tell me, where’s the person who told you about the Soul Bead?" Hua XiYi said coldly.

The murderous intent Hua XiYi emanated made Luo yang realize she had the urge to kill.

"Sister Hua, with our relationship, can’t you at least tell me?" Luo yang feigned a pitiful look.

"Haha! It’s for your own good! Some things, if you remain ignorant of, nothing happens. But knowing could endanger your life!" Hua XiYi said solemnly.

This statement should be considered heartfelt words.

However, Luo yang didn’t like hearing it; he just wanted to know what the Soul Bead was.

Of course, Luo yang could inquire with the Soul Beast.

But he decided to ask Hua XiYi first, so later when sleeping, he could ask the Soul Beast and learn more about the Soul Bead’s secrets.

All indications show that the Soul Bead is not simple.

If Master Hua and others found out that Luo yang had a Soul Bead, instant bloody conflict would be unavoidable.

"Sister Hua, if you truly care for me, let me know as much as possible. The more I know, the easier it is to understand what is dangerous," Luo yang said earnestly.

"Haha! Then you are close to death!" Hua XiYi snorted.

Her words carried a threat, and Luo yang wondered whether to continue asking.

One thing he was sure of though was that leaving was impossible.

After all, he had yet to answer Hua XiYi’s question, about who told him about the Soul Bead.

If he kept answering Hua XiYi’s questions, his lie would collapse.

"Sister Hua, I treated you as an elder sister; have you never treated me as a younger brother? You’re quite heartless," Luo yang said with a bitter smile.

Hearing this, Hua XiYi seemed touched and fell into contemplation, hesitating on whether to grant Luo yang’s request.
