Chapter 960: Chapter 0960: The Reason for the Beauty Needing to Sleep in the Afternoon

Previously, Luo Yang proposed a plan to lure out the people from Skull Fortress, which was also meant to test whether the three Gu sisters were connected to Skull Fortress.

If he truly wanted to execute the plan meticulously, Luo Yang wouldn’t reveal it in front of everyone.

After all, walls have ears, and caution is wise.

But Luo Yang intentionally let everyone present hear his plan. If it succeeded, it would be gratifying; if it didn’t, he wouldn’t be disappointed.

The plan depended on someone leaking information, or else the people from Skull Fortress would likely fall for it.

Wuweizi and Elder Chang Zhenzi had both seen the Blood Fiend.

In other words, the two elders could create a very convincing fake Blood Fiend.

Without testing the actual abilities of the Blood Fiend, it would be difficult to tell by appearance alone that it was a counterfeit.

Wuweizi and Elder Chang Zhenzi faced two choices: align with Skull Fortress, or side with groups like the Eight Immortals Hall.

Weighing the pros and cons, they chose the latter.

Although Skull Fortress had a notorious reputation, it had yet to truly threaten the forces like the Eight Immortals Hall.

Though offending Skull Fortress was regrettable, Wuweizi believed it was better to stick with the latter group.

According to Luo Yang’s plan, they still needed to visit the entrance of the altar.

So, a group of over ten people arrived at the building by the edge of Frozen Lake.

Once inside, looking at the spacious courtyard, it seemed like some kind of sanatorium.

The building’s first floor resembled a parking lot, completely empty.

There was an elevator that could carry about twenty people down to the underground level.

But no one dared go down, fearing that the people from Skull Fortress might sabotage the elevator and destroy the exit, leaving those below stranded underground.

They lingered on the first floor for roughly two hours, then pretended to leave cheerfully.

By then, it was lunchtime.

During the meal, Luo Yang and the others loudly discussed the Blood Fiend, mainly debating who should use it first.

"I found it first, so I should get to use it for a day!" Luo Yang shouted.

"Young man, you can’t say it like that! The Blood Fiend is the treasured artifact of my Blood Devil Sect. We can’t lend it to you lightly; we need to consider it carefully before giving you an answer," Wuweizi advised.

"Elder! What do you mean by this?!"

Luo Yang slammed the table, looking as though he was ready to fight.

Everyone was acting, their performances passable.

If anyone wanted to hire actors, Luo Yang thought he might have what it takes to be a movie star.

It’s worth noting that Luo Yang had an agent—none other than Lin Xixin, a host at Honghai County radio station.

The deputy director of Renmin Hospital, Tan Shengmei, also offered to manage Luo Yang.

The following night, there would be a martial competition against a Japanese Ninja, and he would wear a T-shirt with printed ads, marking Luo Yang’s first venture into the entertainment industry.

Whether he would land more endorsements in the future remained uncertain.

In truth, Luo Yang hadn’t planned to pursue the entertainment industry, but if someone invited him to do ads or films, he’d be willing to give it a shot.

Although he didn’t dream of becoming a movie star, earning such a title would certainly be a gratifying accomplishment.

As everyone ate and argued, it seemed they were eager to let the entire world know the Blood Fiend had been found.

After eating and drinking, and arguing for another half hour until their voices were hoarse, the group finally reached an agreement.

"For now, I’ll keep the Blood Fiend safe. In the afternoon, we’ll decide who gets to use it first," Wuweizi announced.

"Elder, keep your word!" Luo Yang said.

"Young man, I guarantee it with my life!" Wuweizi said, thumping his chest.

With things settled, everyone returned to their lodgings to rest.

They would discuss further in the afternoon.

Wuweizi had already ordered someone to rush the creation of a fake Blood Fiend, but it wasn’t finished yet.

Wrapped in silk, the object Wuweizi had on hand was merely a brick.

Wherever Wuweizi went, he was shadowed by cameras.

Should anyone suspicious approach him, the others would swiftly step in to assist.

Although the Blood Devil Sect possessed many terrifying powers, those were dark forces that couldn’t operate in daylight.

For instance, the Blood General, a mystic being with immense strength at night, became weak in the daytime.

Hua XiYi followed Luo Yang and the others back to the hotel room. After staying up all night and enduring Skull Fortress’s threats earlier, even the young and energetic Luo Yang felt fatigue creeping in. Lifting his eyelids required significant effort.

"Class leader, you all should take a rest," Luo Yang persuaded.

The trap had already been set. As for Hong Jiaxin, Zhu Zishan, and the three Gu sisters, Luo Yang didn’t need their help.

He felt guilty imagining them getting hurt if they stepped in.

After all, the force they were up against was Skull Fortress’s terrifying might, and Luo Yang couldn’t even guarantee his own safety.

"Eh, we’re not tired. Rest for what?"

"Wife, I know you’re still angry at me. But sleeping will do you good; don’t sulk, go sleep," Luo Yang added.

If regular beauties stayed up all night, their spirits the next day would be significantly diminished.

However, even with dark circles under their eyes, the three Gu sisters didn’t seem like the type to fall asleep mid-step.

Even Hong Jiaxin, a martial arts practitioner, was yawning intermittently.

Earlier, when Luo Yang introduced the three Gu sisters to Hua XiYi, he assumed they hadn’t trained in martial arts.

Now, with the Gu sisters still energetic, it raised suspicions.

Luo Yang hoped they’d act as though they were more tired.

In fact, Luo Yang wanted to speak to Gu Xue alone, as he suspected her connection to Skull Fortress.

But with Hua XiYi nearby, it wasn’t convenient to act.

Gu Xue hadn’t grasped Luo Yang’s intentions and replied coldly, "Eh, if you want to sleep, sleep yourself!"

If the conversation went further, even if Hua XiYi didn’t suspect anything, she might start to.

As a result, Hua XiYi did notice something off.

"Haha! You’ve all been up all night and still look so refreshed! Haha!" Hua XiYi chuckled.

The three Gu sisters were startled, finally understanding why Luo Yang insisted they rest.

Fortunately, Gu Xue was quick-witted.

"This morning, I was so exhausted. Eh, if I hadn’t been scared awake, I would’ve collapsed onto the bed as soon as I returned," Gu Xue explained.

When startled, it is true that it’s hard to fall asleep easily.

The sight of two blood-soaked skull bones was indeed horrifying. With nerves on edge, tiredness naturally diminished.

Hua XiYi reluctantly accepted Gu Xue’s explanation and didn’t probe further.

However, her lack of immediate questioning didn’t mean she fully trusted the background of the three Gu sisters.

Hong Jiaxin and Zhu Zishan were evidently genuinely frightened, so Luo Yang comforted them one by one as they sat on the edge of the bed.

They waited the entire afternoon but received no news.

Luo Yang grew increasingly suspicious of what Gu Xue had done when she left the group earlier.

If Skull Fortress wasn’t here for the Blood Fiend, then why had they killed two disciples of the Blood Devil Sect?

It was worth noting that Skull Fortress and Blood Devil Sect hadn’t held any grudges against each other.

From Wuweizi’s phone conversation with someone from Skull Fortress, it appeared there had been little overlap or conflict in their history, let alone hatred.

Suddenly, Luo Yang was startled.

If Skull Fortress wasn’t here for the Blood Fiend, could it be Hong Jiaxin they were after?

With this thought, cold sweat broke out all over him.

He glanced at the three Gu sisters but couldn’t discern their intentions.

If they were colluding with Skull Fortress, and took the opportunity to capture Hong Jiaxin, it would be a major problem.

Skull Fortress and Ten Thousand Souls Sect seemed to have no grudges against Hong Jiaxin.

Of course, if Hong Jiaxin turned out to be the illegitimate daughter of a high-ranking Eight Immortals Hall figure, that would be a different story.

Although his relationship with the three Gu sisters was technically marital, there was no marriage certificate, no consummation, and certainly no children yet.

At present, this bond was rather tenuous.
