When Huo Yao heard the man mention Shangguan Yu's name, she remained as calm as usual. There was not even a hint of emotion in her eyes.
From the moment Old Wei's tobacco pouch appeared by her feet, she knew that her identity had been exposed.
That was why she had followed the cleaner here despite knowing it was a trap.
There were no permanent secrets in this world. She had expected this day to come after she broke free from Shangguan Yu's identity.
Huo Yao collected her thoughts. She neither admitted nor denied her identity. Instead, she said, "Let me guess who you are. Are you a traitor of the Shangguan family?"
The man was clearly displeased that Huo Yao had called him a traitor. But before he could say anything, he heard Huo Yao's voice again.
"Shangguan Hou?" Huo Yao tilted her head. Although she sounded like she was guessing, it was clear that she was certain.
Shangguan Hou did not expect that Huo Yao would be able to call out his name. They had never met face to face.
Even if they had met face to face, it was unlikely that anyone would recognize his current face.
After all, Shangguan Wei had not recognized him, which was why he had fallen into Shangguan Hou's hands.
Shangguan Hou's lips twitched. No wonder this girl was the hope of the Shangguan family. Her keen observation skills and martial arts skills were already extraordinary.
Unfortunately, she had fallen into his hands once again.
Shangguan Hou sneered in his heart. He raised his hand and flicked his sleeve slowly. Then he started to talk about the past as though he was having a casual chat.
"The Shangguan family has the most advanced medical skills and technology in the world, yet they dared to hide in such a secluded place. Don't you think it's ridiculous and cowardly?"
When Shangguan Hou said this, his tone was obviously filled with unwillingness and uneasiness.
Why did they have to hide like rats and not show themselves? Why were they not allowed to reveal their abilities?
Saying that it would disrupt the order of this world was just an excuse to accept mediocrity in his eyes.
Shangguan Hou inhaled deeply and looked at Huo Yao. Then he said in a bewitching voice, "Don't you want to show everyone what you know? Don't you want everyone to look up to you and treat you as their leader?"
"Oh, I don't want to." There was no change in Huo Yao's expression, and she sounded rather calm. "Only those who are incapable will try their best to prove themselves."
Shangguan Hou only shook his head. He was not angry. "The truth is, your aloofness will only bring you disaster."
"Really?" Huo Yao shrugged. She still held the tobacco pipe in her hand and did not waste any more time talking to Shangguan Hou. "Where's Old Wei?"
"It's easy to know where he is," Shangguan Hou said as he raised his wrist to look at the time. He then said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, you two will meet soon."
He was counting down the time in his heart, counting down the time the medicine would take effect.
Of course, Huo Yao knew that Shangguan Hou did not bring her here just to vent his frustrations. She pursed her lips and said nonchalantly, "Do you think I'll fall for your medicine again?"
Did he look down on her by using the same colorless and odorless medicine without any new tricks?
Shangguan Hou was not surprised that Huo Yao could see through him. Instead, he replied arrogantly. "If we can catch you once, we can do it again."
