The Giant Spirit Blade sighed regretfully, "Sigh, I originally wanted to participate in this grand gamble alone..."
The Lightning Serpent and Thunder Mad Blade laughed simultaneously, "You really think too highly of yourself! Wanting to monopolize such a great benefit alone?!"
"Since that's the case, we need to strengthen our previous arrangements," said the Lightning Serpent, "Get your people over here as soon as possible! We should go find the manor master right now to explain this. The manor master is a sensitive person, and it’s best to have no misunderstandings between us."
"Actually, there's something very strange I don’t know if you two have noticed," the Giant Spirit Blade frowned and said, "Although our manor master has gotten himself into such a big mess, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, which is quite unusual."
Upon hearing this, the two others also frowned, puzzled by this matter.
Generally, when an ordinary person encounters such a situation, even if they are temporarily safe, they would still be in a state of panic.
But Chu Yang's reaction seemed to show he was completely calm, as if he didn't take the imminent crisis to heart at all.
"Speaking of the oddness, our steward also seems quite strange," said the Giant Spirit Blade. "I believe you have noticed as well. He must also be someone of the way of the blade. His strength may not match ours, but he is definitely not weak—at least he has initial saint-level strength. He clearly had serious hidden injuries before, but now, they seem to have completely healed."
"That's right, it really is like that!" The other two also recalled this, their eyes brightening as they thought of the miraculous elixir that had healed the injuries in an instant.
"Gamble!" The three of them walked into Chu Yang's study simultaneously.
"How could you be so impulsive today?" the Snow Fairy looked at Chu Yang in disbelief.
This guy almost killed the first genius of the Ghostly Trap in his own home! If it weren't for that puppet substitute, Yuan Shutu might have already fallen! When she first heard this news, the Snow Fairy could hardly believe her ears!
Hai Bo beside her shook his head repeatedly in disbelief.
The two of them had arrived shortly after the incident occurred. They were initially skeptical, but upon arriving, they realized this unbelievable event had truly happened.
Chu Yang smiled faintly, his expression calm. He gestured for the two to sit down, "This matter is indeed unbelievable. It seems even I find it hard to believe. However, if I were given another chance, I would still kill him! It’s a pity that I didn’t know he had a puppet substitute. If I had known, I should have arranged for my subordinates to launch a wave attack. The puppet can withstand one attack; I wonder how many times it could hold up under repeated assaults!"
"What? You still plan to kill Yuan Shutu? Again?!" The Snow Fairy was utterly bewildered.
"How could I possibly consider letting him go? A man who cannot even protect his own woman is no better than a corpse, even if he is alive! Yuan Shutu and I are already destined to be enemies. His death is better than mine!" Chu Yang said indifferently.
As a woman, the Snow Fairy admired this remark greatly. She no longer found Chu Yang as displeasing as before; for the sake of his woman, he could go to such lengths. He couldn’t be too bad a person.
Hai Bo frowned and said, "Speaking of which, he only wanted to meet your wife... Could it be that you are taking this too seriously? If taking a step back could lead to a broader horizon, why not take a step back?"
"Let’s not talk about whether he is a stranger or an enemy, or whether his request to meet my wife is reasonable or suitable. I’ll just ask you this: if he says he wants to meet my wife and I don’t dare offend him, should I just let him meet her? But after he meets her, what then?" Chu Yang smiled, the corners of his mouth curling up in a mocking manner.
"This... afterwards..." Hai Bo was at a loss for words.
