After dinner, the three of them went straight to the central building.
The central building was where the weapons bureau did their business. Although the headquarters was not here, it was a landmark.
The exterior of the building was designed to be aggressive, especially at night when all the lights were on. The lightning symbol at the top of the building gave off a murderous vibe.
Shangguan Yun raised his head to look at the building. Once again, he looked like a country bumpkin.
For a long time, he did not even move his legs.
Sure enough, the outside world was wonderful. No wonder his sister liked to sneak out and lie to him.
Now that he thought about it, it was a little too much!
Huo Yao and Min Yu were walking in front. When they sensed that the youngster was not following them, they turned around to see him staring at the building. She could not help pressing her forehead.
"Why don't we get someone to bring us a chair. Are you going to sit here and watch?"
Min Yu turned around to look at Shangguan Yun. However, Zhuo Yun walked over and whispered something in his ear. Then he turned to look at Huo Yao. "I have something to do. Wait for me upstairs."
Huo Yao knew that rich people were always busy, so she waved at him considerately. "Go ahead."
Before long, Min Yu and Zhuo Yun walked away.
Before they left, they arranged for the person in charge to bring them in.
Shangguan Yun finally composed himself. He touched his nose and said to Huo Yao softly, "I finally know why you always sneaked out."
Huo Yao glanced sideways at him.
"If I were you, I would have stayed in the outside world too," sighed Shangguan Yun.
Huo Yao did not respond for a long time. The light from the entrance shone on her face, making it seem like she was shrouded in a layer of mist. No one could tell what she was feeling.
"Do you want to stay out there forever?" asked Huo Yao suddenly with her hands in her pockets.
Shangguan Yun nodded without hesitation. "Of course. Although the outside world is rather backward, there are still interesting aspects to it."
A secluded place was not a paradise. It could also be a huge shackle.
It could imprison a person's soul and force him to live a boring life day after day and year after year until he died in silence.
At the very least, he did not want such a life.
The youth's tender face carried a maturity that did not match his age. Perhaps it was because of this topic, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.
Huo Yao took in his expression. She nodded and said, "Okay, I got it. I will tell Auntie Tong what you said today, word for word."
With that, she continued to walk forward.
Shangguan Yun was stunned. The child's emotions came and went quickly. When he came back to his senses, he immediately chased after him in a flustered and exasperated manner. "Hey, how can you be like this?"
If he told Aunt Tong, then his good days would probably come to an end!

Before long, the person in charge of the exhibition hall led Huo Yao and her younger brother into the lobby on the first floor respectfully.
As he walked, he gave the two a brief introduction of the exhibition hall. "… The trade fair will start at eight, and it's upstairs. It's still early, so I'll bring you up first."
The Arms Bureau's trade fair was nothing more than a trade of weapons. There were official and unofficial forces from all over the world, so the atmosphere was especially tense.
The air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Shangguan Yun secretly heaved a sigh of relief after they entered the elevator. Although he was not afraid of the ferocious people outside, it was still displeasing to be stared at by their cold gazes.
