However, the man was undoubtedly well-versed in geomancy and formations.

Huo Yao gathered her thoughts, looked out the glass window, and veered her eyes. She looked at Shangguan Tong and said, “Someone leaked the news that the jade was inside the underground palace.”

At that time, she had asked Cloud Realm to investigate the matter. Unexpectedly, they received definitive intel about the jade the next day. It felt as though people already knew she needed intel about the jade.

When she took the jade from the underground palace, in hindsight, things went so smoothly that it felt very unusual.

Since it was abnormal, there must be more to this.

“Aunt Tong, someone has their eyes on us,” Huo Yao said.

Her voice was very soft. Inside the glass room, the atmosphere felt exceptionally quiet.

Shangguan Tong looked into Huo Yao’s eyes. Her eyes looked deep, unsullied and there was also a light in them.

It was the kind of light that would only appear because she had unfinished business.

Shangguan Tong suddenly tightened her grip on the black box. In a split second, many thoughts ran through her mind, but she did not show it on her face. Instead, she said calmly, “Why don’t you let me have the jade?”

Shangguan Tong paused and added, “Along with the piece of white jade.”

“The white jade isn’t with me for now. Why do you want it anyway?” asked Huo Yao, veering her head.

“I just need them.” Shangguan Tong did not say more. She simply picked up the Chinese medicine on the tea table. “The medicine is turning cold. Let me send it to your eldest uncle first.”

Saying this, she walked out of the glass room without waiting for Huo Yao to speak.

She gradually walked away and disappeared at the turn. After she was gone, Huo Yao finally veered her eyes.

At this moment, her phone rang.

Huo Yao took out her phone to check it. It was a text message from Cool Autumn.

Meanwhile, at Mirage Base.

Ever since the mountain gate got blown up, they spent several days clearing the rubble and reverting it to its previous condition.

The base network and security also reverted to its previous state.

He looked annoyed learning of these major incidents, but he was not particularly angry.

He simply asked to see Shangguan Hou.

Shangguan Hou thought King would reprimand him, but did not expect him to ask about the key instead.

Shangguan Hou was unable to find the key, so he wanted to hide the truth from King. Unfortunately, King seemed to already know the truth. When they made eye contact, Shangguan Hou knew it was impossible to make excuses for it.

“The key is inside my bank safe deposit box. Do you want it now?” asked Shangguan Hou cautiously, looking at King.

King sat in the chair holding his hands dressed neatly. “Uh huh.”

Shangguan Hou did not understand why he needed it. Before he left, he asked, “Why do you suddenly need it?”

King glanced at Shangguan Hou deeply. “To confirm something.”

Shangguan Hou knew King would not tell him the truth, so he simply nodded. “In that case, I’ll collect it now.”

King waved his hand and closed his eyes to rest.

Before long, Shangguan Hou left the base.

He was the only person allowed access to the bank safe deposit box, so he could only go over personally.

The trip alone took nearly three hours. By the time he got back to the base, it was already nearly midnight.

King was still in the lounge sitting in the same spot. It seemed as though he did not get up the entire time.

Shangguan Hou immediately handed the box to King.
