Chapter 138 The Xia family rushed to marry the granddaughter
Xiao Shijie looked at Lu Yang.
"Are you asking about the ancient martial arts master that the Xia family hired before?"
"His actual name is not Zuo Ming, his real name is Zhong Yunfei. Zuo Ming is his senior brother.
This person is just one of our partners in Huangzhou. He often sells us some information, but he is not from our Fairy Squirrel Sect."
Seeing that Xiao Shijie had not concealed the situation about Zhong Yunfei, Lu Yang asked again: "What about his senior brother Zuo Ming?"
"Did Zuo Ming join your Fairy Mouse Sect?"
Xiao Shijie shook his head.
"I really don't know about this. However, as far as I know, this Zuo Ming became obsessed with practicing martial arts as early as ten years ago and has since withdrawn from the world.
People like him have killed countless people and have enemies all over the world. I guess he should have been killed by his enemies long ago."
Lu Yang did not speak, but stared into Xiao Shijie's eyes.
Lu Yang noticed that Xiao Shijie's eyes flickered when he said this, obviously trying to hide his inner nervousness. Lu Yang knew that this Xiao Shijie was not telling the truth.
Lu Yang did not expose Xiao Shijie directly.
"Then how many people from your Fairy Squirrel Sect are there in Huangzhou?"
Without even thinking about it, Xiao Shijie immediately replied: "It's just me!"
"We, the Immortal Squirrel Sect, have few disciples to begin with. For a small city like Huangzhou, it's already great to be able to send people here."
Lu Yang's face darkened after hearing Xiao Shijie's words.
"Xiao Shijie, I think you are toasting but not eating. You are drinking as a penalty!"
"You said you didn't know Zuo Ming, right? Then let me ask you, since you don't know Zuo Ming, why did you kill Zhong Yunfei to silence him last time?"
A trace of panic flashed in Xiao Shijie's eyes, but he still forced himself to calm down and said: "Kill Zhong Yunfei?"
"No! I didn't kill Zhong Yunfei."
Lu Yang snorted.
"I found an evil bat on Zhong Yunfei's body. You still say you didn't kill him?"
"Is there any martial arts school in this world that will automatically leave behind a bat pattern composed of evil spirits after killing someone?"
Xiao Shijie finally panicked.
Lu Yang stared at Xiao Shijie sharply and slowly raised his right hand.
"Xiao Shijie, I'll give you one last chance. Tell you, where is Zuo Ming?"
"If you lie to me again, I will immediately activate your eight extraordinary meridians and let you taste life worse than death!"
Xiao Shijie's expression changed drastically.
At this moment, Xia Linglan's scream suddenly came from the yard.
Lu Yang was shocked and no longer cared about extracting a confession from Xiao Shijie, and rushed out quickly.
In the yard, Xia Linglan was standing on the edge of the lawn in a daze.
Lu Yang ran over quickly.
"Senior Sister Lan, what's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Xia Linglan saw Lu Yang and grabbed Lu Yang's hand.
"I just saw a man with a grimace suddenly appear in the yard, and then suddenly disappear out of thin air."
When Lu Yang heard what Xia Linglan said, he immediately realized that there might be a master from the Immortal Mouse Sect hiding in the darkness who had not shown up.
"not good!"
Lu Yang said, turned around and ran back.
By the time Lu Yang rushed back to the room where Xiao Shijie was detained, Xiao Shijie had disappeared.
"It's still careless!"
Lu Yang sighed.
Xia Linglan, who followed, saw Xiao Shijie escaping, and said to Lu Yang with a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry! It's all because of me that this guy escaped."
Lu Yang gently patted Xia Linglan's shoulder.
"It's not your fault."
Just now, Zhuang Yun used Xia Zhenshan to blackmail Xia Linglan and asked her to stab Lu Yang three times. Xia Linglan withstood the pressure and did not make a move. This made Xia Linglan's position in Lu Yang's heart even heavier.
Naturally, Lu Yang didn't want Xia Linglan to blame herself for Xiao Shijie's escape!
Although Lu Yang failed to find out the whereabouts of Zuo Ming from Xiao Shijie this time, Lu Yang did not find nothing.
From Xiao Shijie's reaction, Lu Yang had already guessed that Zuo Mingba was hiding in Huangzhou.
Otherwise, this Xiao Shijie would not deliberately hide it for Zuo Ming.
Although Lu Yang didn't know the purpose of Zuo Ming's coming to Huangzhou, he estimated that 80% of it was related to the three Taoist treasures.
Even if Zuo Ming didn't come for those three Taoist treasures, Xiao Shijie and others from the Immortal Squirrel Sect definitely came for this.
In the afternoon, Lu Yang joined forces with Mi Chenyan to steal the rare treasure hidden in Qingshi Residence by the Fairy Squirrel Sect. Lu Yang believed that Xiao Shijie and the others would not be willing to accept it.
As long as the Fairy Squirrel Clan is unwilling, Lu Yang doesn't have to worry about finding them.
Lu Yang was thinking about what Xiao Shijie and the others might do next, when Zhou Nan's voice came from outside the door.
"Master Lu, Lanlan, the old man is awake and wants to see you."
When Lu Yang heard that Xia Zhenshan was awake, he hurriedly followed Xia Linglan to the old man's bedroom.
Xia Zhenshan had just been knocked unconscious by Zhuang Yun and used him to blackmail Xia Linglan. Now the old man finally woke up.
When Lu Yang and Xia Linglan came in, Xia Zhenshan had already listened to his family briefly explain what had just happened.
Seeing Lu Yang come in, Xia Zhenshan immediately asked someone to help him up.
"Master Lu, my old man is just blind!"
"If it weren't for you tonight, our Xia family might have been exterminated!"
Xia Zhenshan said, got out of bed and knelt down to Lu Yang.
After experiencing the family's life and death crisis, Xia Zhenshan finally realized that Lu Yang was the protector of their family!
Although Lu Yang didn't have a good impression of Xia Zhenshan, seeing him sincerely kneel down and apologize to him, Lu Yang naturally couldn't argue with him about what happened before.
What's more, Lu Yang can't argue with Xia Zhenshan anymore for the sake of his two granddaughters!
So Lu Yang hurriedly supported Xia Zhenshan.
"Old man, you don't have to do this. This is what I should do."
"During the time I came to Huangzhou, Senior Sister Lan and Sister Xinyi took care of me many times. Isn't it right to help you solve this little trouble?"
With that said, Lu Yang helped Xia Zhenshan back to the bed.
"Old man, you are just recovering from your illness, so you should lie down in bed first! I will write you a prescription again. You should take it for two days and you should be cured."
After Lu Yang finished speaking, he went to write the prescription.
Xia Zhenshan was surprised and happy after hearing what Lu Yang said.
Although he didn't see Lu Yang and Xiao Shijie fighting with his own eyes just now, Xia Zhenshan felt frightened just by hearing the stories from his family.
But Lu Yang said, this is just a little trouble!
At this time, Xia Zhenshan finally realized how wrong he had been before. He had actually believed Zhuang Yun and his son Xia Wenchao and thought that Lu Yang was just a liar who was pretending to be a ghost!
Thinking that his mistake this time almost caused the entire Xia family to be exterminated, Xia Zhenshan felt regretful and grateful at the same time.
So Xia Zhenshan immediately made a decision in his heart: No matter how much it costs, the Xia family must rely on the big tree of Lu Yang!
Xia Zhenshan made this decision in his heart and immediately went to see his granddaughter Xia Linglan.
Xia Zhenshan is not stupid after all. He knows that the key to the Xia family's hope of relying on the big tree of Lu Yang lies in his precious granddaughter.
Xia Zhenshan saw that although his granddaughter Xia Linglan was sitting by his bed, she peeked at Lu Yang from time to time, her eyes full of tenderness. Xia Zhenshan knew that his granddaughter had completely fallen in love with Lu Yang.
If this had been a day ago, Xia Zhenshan would have already scolded Xia Linglan and told her to keep a distance from Lu Yang.
But now, Xia Zhenshan not only did not scold Xia Linglan, but also whispered in his granddaughter's ear: "Lanlan, you have to work hard!"
"As long as you can catch Lu Yang, grandpa will give you all the shares of our company as a reward."
