The pendant on the necklace had a unique shape, so Shangguan Hou recognized it almost immediately.
It was the Tai Chi symbol, the Shangguan clan's greatest secret.
It was said that if the black and white pieces of jade were put together and placed in a special magnetic field, they would be able to travel through time and space. It was possible to travel to the past or the future.
However, the two pieces of jade had disappeared a few years ago. Now that one of them was with Shangguan Yu, it was no wonder she was still alive.
Shangguan Hou's eyelids drooped as he suppressed the unreadable emotion in his eyes. In the end, he did not speak again, as if he had admitted defeat.
Huo Yao did not notice his expression. While waiting for Min Yu to arrive, she took out her phone and was about to call him back. However, before she could press the dial button, Zhuo Yun's call came in.
Her fingers paused for a moment before she picked up the call.
The moment she picked up, Zhuo Yun's voice came through. "Miss Huo, you finally got through. Did you just get off the plane?"
Huo Yao's heart skipped a beat when she heard the urgency in Zhuo Yun's voice. She asked him. "Did something happen to Yu?"
"No." Zhuo Yun was standing at the airport arrival gate. His eyes landed on Huo Yao, and his throat suddenly felt dry.
He did not know how Huo Yao would react when she heard that her grandmother had passed away, but he had to tell her.
Zhuo Yun inhaled deeply before he said, "It's Old Madam Yang. She... passed away."
Huo Yao's hand trembled, and her mind went blank for a moment. A long while later, she said in a calm and emotionless voice, "What did you say happened to my grandmother?"
Zhuo Yun went quiet for two seconds. "My condolences."
Huo Yao held her phone so tightly that her hands felt like they were about to crack. "When did this happen? How... did she die? "
"She passed away an hour ago," said Zhuo Yun slowly.
Huo Yao's face turned pale instantly.
An hour ago... If she had not left with Shangguan Hou and had taken the flight back on time, would she have been able to see her grandmother for the last time?
Or would she not have died?
Huo Yao could no longer hear what Zhuo Yun was saying. It was as though she had lost her soul and did not move for a long time.
Mi Wei was shocked to see her like this and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "A 'Yu, what happened?"
He remembered that year when her master passed away, she had the same expression.
Huo Yao raised her head and composed herself. She replied that she was fine before she stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
Shangguan Hou's men were still guarding the door. When they saw that it was Huo Yao who opened the door instead of Shangguan Hou, they reached for their waists almost simultaneously.
However, before they could do anything, they powerlessly fell to the ground, just like Shangguan Hou did earlier.
At this time, the steward arranged by Cheng Ming hurried over with a few subordinates. He was slightly surprised when he saw the person lying on the ground.
The steward hurriedly walked over to Huo Yao and bowed respectfully. "Miss Huo, are you alright?"
Huo Yao raised her hand. Her expression had already returned to normal, and even her voice sounded normal. "Please send my friend to the hospital. Can you prepare a helicopter for me?"
