In Honghai County, Luo Yang isn't afraid of Yiye Bupo's tricks.
After ending the call, Luo Yang persuaded Gu Xue, "Sister Xue, you go and have a late-night snack with them first. I'll join you later."
Gu Xue said, "Eh, I'm going with you."
Actually, Luo Yang didn't want Gu Xue to follow.
For no other reason than Gu Xue also wanted the Mu Tan.
If by then Gu Xue hears the secret of Mu Tan and then urges Luo Yang to find Mu Tan, that would be quite annoying.
Besides, Mu Tan's secret is related to Hong Jiaxin. If it turns out Hong Jiaxin really is the illegitimate daughter of Eight Immortals Hall's high-ranking official, and Gu Xue gets wind of this, the consequences would be severe.
That leaves Luo Yang with two choices.
One is to immediately sever ties with the three Gu sisters, ensuring they never approach Hong Jiaxin.
The second is to persuade the three Gu sisters to let go of their grudges and not seek revenge on Hong Jiaxin.
Either choice is exhausting.
