It consisted of two pieces of black and white jade. According to family legends, once both pieces were combined and placed under a particular kind of magnetic field, a corridor for time travel could be activated and the user could access the past and future alike.

Both pieces of jade had gone missing many years ago, but one of them was now with Shangguan Yu. No wonder she was still alive.

Shangguan Hou lowered his eyes. He gathered his thoughts and stopped talking. He seemed to have given up retaliating.

Huo Yao paid no attention to Shangguan Hou. As she waited for her men to arrive, she tried to call Min Yu. Before she was able to press the dial button, she could see Zhuo Yun’s caller ID appearing on her phone screen.

Her hands paused briefly before she quickly answered the phone.

After answering the phone, Zhuo Yun said hurriedly, “Miss Huo, I finally got you on the phone. Did you just disembark from the plane?”

Huo Yao noticed the anxious tone in Zhuo Yun’s voice, so she asked worriedly. “Did something happen to your boss?”

“No, he’s fine.” Zhuo Yun looked inside the airport as he stood at the arrival hall. His throat felt dry as he spoke.

He did not know how she would react when she heard about her grandmother’s passing, but he had to give her the bad news.

Zhuo Yun inhaled deeply and said, “Old Madam Yang has passed away.”

Huo Yao’s hand trembled and her mind went blank. Moments later, she calmed down and asked. “What do you mean?”

Zhuo Yun went quiet for a couple of seconds and said, “I’m sorry for your loss.”

Huo Yao tightened her grip on her phone so hard that the veins at the back of her hands could be seen throbbing. “When did this happen? Why is she dead?”

“Roughly an hour ago. She died of illness,” replied Zhuo Yun.

Huo Yao’s face turned ghastly pale the moment she heard what he said.

Her grandmother had passed away an hour ago. If she did not go off with Shangguan Hou and boarded the flight as planned, she might have gotten to see Old Madam Yang one last time before she died.

Perhaps she could have saved Old Madam Yang.

Huo Yao could not help blaming herself or her grandmother’s death. Zhuo Yun was still talking to her, but Huo Yao was at a loss and could not think straight. She remained in this state for some time.

When Mi Wei noticed her reaction, he instantly felt worried. He asked softly. “Did something happen?”

She acted the same way when her master passed away.

Huo Yao composed herself as she raised her head. She simply said everything was fine before she stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

Shangguan Hou’s men were still waiting outside. When they realized Huo Yao had opened the door, everyone automatically reached for their weapons at their waists.

Before they were able to move further, all of them slumped to the ground powerlessly just like Shangguan Hou earlier.

The man in charge of the Huo family’s interests in town rushed over with a few men. The moment they saw the men on the ground, he felt stunned.

He quickly walked over to Huo Yao as she stood at the door. He bowed reverently and said, “Miss Huo, are you okay.”

Huo Yao raised her hand. Her face and voice seemed completely normal now. She said to her subordinate, “Please send my friend to the hospital. Also, can you prepare a chopper for me?”
