Chapter 1835 - 1835 Black Jade
1835 Black Jade
Huo Yao looked calm in comparison to Huo Jinfeng. She comforted him. “It will be fine.”
She spoke gently as though nothing was impossible.
Huo Jinfeng clearly still felt very angry about this. A murderous aura could be sensed in the room. “I won’t let them push you around.”
Shangguan Tong glared at Huo Jinfeng. “Allow me to remind you of the shape you are in.”
“I…” Huo Jinfeng parted his lips, but the moment he caught Shangguan Tong’s stare, he promptly deflated like a balloon. “… I’m fine.”
“Hmph.” Shangguan Tong laughed softly.
Huo Jinfeng promptly shut his gap.
Huo Yao was sitting by the side when she was unexpectedly forced to see this public display of affection.
These two really should stay single for a while longer.
Huo Yao only spent slightly over ten minutes in the hospital ward. The atmosphere was very harmonious, so it was clear that she was not needed there.
“I’m walking her out.” When Shangguan Tong noticed Huo Yao leaving, she paused briefly and turned to say to Huo Jinfeng.
She gestured for him to let go of her.
Huo Jinfeng glanced at her before looking at his niece. Both parties claimed they had only met each other now, but he had a vague feeling they were connected in some way.
It felt as though they knew each other well, down to every body language and gesture.
Huo Jinfeng narrowed his eyes slightly before he finally let go of her hand.
Before long, Shangguan Tong and Huo Yao walked out of the hospital ward.
No one was guarding the corridor at this moment. As Huo Yao slowly walked toward the lift, she said calmly, “Aunt Tong, what are your plans now? I suppose you won’t be going back to the clan for some time.”
“Uh huh.” Shangguan Tong cleared her throat and suppressed her uneasiness before she continued. “I have to do something.”
Huo Yao looked up and asked nonchalantly. “Does it have something to do with Mirage Base?”
“You can say so.” It was impossible to see what Shangguan Tong was thinking. She thought about last night and looked sideways at Huo Yao. “Someone helped me at the base. Was it your friend?”
Unexpectedly, the man simply asked her a couple of questions and released her.
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao without explaining. Instead, she asked. “What are you trying to find at Mirage Base?”
They had already reached the lift. Two blurry silhouettes could be seen on the dark metallic door.
Huo Yao looked at the blurry silhouettes reflecting off the door. For a moment, she did not reach her hand out to press the lift button. “I’m guessing it has something to do with me, right?”
When she was still Shangguan Yu, she should have died in that explosion a few years ago. Instead, she woke up. This must have happened due to some reason.
A sad smile appeared on Shangguan Tong’s face. Sure enough, she was very sensitive and alert. She sighed inwardly and finally replied. “That’s right. I’m looking for something, but it might not be at Mirage Base.”
Shangguan Tong’s mind drifted away after saying this.
When she first infiltrated Mirage Base yesterday, no one detected her initially. Then, she accidentally overheard Shangguan Hou’s conversation with someone. Before long, the alarms on the base went off and they inexplicably detected her presence.
Shangguan Tong gathered her thoughts. She looked at Huo Yao again. “You have a piece of white jade. I’m looking for a piece of black jade that matches yours.”
Hearing this, Huo Yao raised her hand to pull out the jade pendant under her collar. “Do you mean this one?”
