"... I didn't get a call from him," replied Huo Yao expressionlessly.
She was not worried that Shangguan Yun would get lost. In fact, that idiot's luck was like God's own son. She would rather worry about her wallet than him.
They were at loggerheads.
"Oh. Keep an eye on him. That silly boy has only come out once in his life. He has never seen the world and can't afford to embarrass himself," said Mi Wei.
Huo Yao raised her hand and pinched her forehead before she replied perfunctorily. "If there's nothing else... Uncle Wei, I'm hanging up."
Mi Wei opened his mouth but eventually said, "Okay."
He ended the call and stood quietly in the herb garden for a few minutes. Then he put down the watering can and walked out of the garden.
Mi Wei went to the chief's main house but did not find him. He contemplated for a moment before he went to the ancestral shrine behind the main house.
There were memorial tablets for the Shangguan clan's ancestors in the ancestral shrine. There were three incense sticks in the incense burner on the table. It was obvious that they had been lit recently.
Mi Wei walked up to the table and touched the incense burner. Instantly, the stone door on the right opened slowly, and he walked in.
After passing through the long stone steps and descending for an unknown amount of time, the end of the path suddenly opened up. It was a huge stone room.
There was nothing much in the stone room other than a stone table in the middle. Someone was standing in front of the stone table. Her long hair was tied up in a simple bun, and she was very thin.
Mi Wei glanced at the back of the figure and walked over.
Shangguan Tong's eyes were fixed on the stone table. When Mi Wei walked over, she pressed a button on the table. Instantly, the entire stone room seemed to change.
A starry sky shrouded her head as though she had entered a virtual world.
Shangguan Tong gazed at the realistic starry sky. Her lips suddenly curved into a self-deprecating smile as she said, "Wei, what do you think if I destroy this place?"
Mi Wei raised his head to look at her in shock. "Why?"
Shangguan Tong's young but weathered face was so numb that there was no expression on it at all. "I'm tired."
Mi Wei knew that ever since she came back a few years ago covered in wounds, she had become much quieter and no longer went out. Although he did not know what had happened, it was most likely a bad memory.
"You made your decision when you agreed to let A 'Yun leave this place." Mi Wei placed his finger on the stone table and said softly.
Shangguan Tong remained silent for a while, not replying to Mi Wei. He turned to him and asked, "What business do you have with me?"
"Ah Yu just contacted me and asked about your health."
Shangguan Tong's expression finally changed a little, and his gaze softened. "That child has suffered a lot, I only hope that he will be fine in the future."
Mi Wei nodded. "Yes, but she suddenly asked about the root of your illness. I'm not sure what she's trying to find out."
"Probe?" Shangguan Tong did not understand. "What did she say?"
"She didn't say much. She's always been hard to understand. Perhaps she's just worried about your health," Mi Wei replied.
Shangguan Tong's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not speak, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After Huo Yao hung up the phone, she returned to her room to continue working on her thesis.
Just as she opened a blank document, her WeChat notification came in.
She glanced at the screen and saw that it was a message from the guy next door. She picked up her phone and tapped on it. It was a notification of a business card.
