Huo Yao did not get a response for a long time, so she called Aunt Tong again.
Shangguan Tong removed the handkerchief and said in her usual tone, "I'll help you look through the medical books. Feel free to contact me if you have any problems."
"Sure," replied Huo Yao readily. "Thank you, Auntie Tong."
Shangguan Tong's heart ached a little. "You're welcome."
"Uh huh. Take care." Huo Yao did not continue the conversation and quickly hung up.
Shangguan Tong stood in the courtyard. Her hand that was holding the phone slowly slid down from her ear. Her frail body looked like it would collapse at any moment in the cool breeze.
A long while later, she lowered her eyes and put the dyed handkerchief into her pocket before heading to the secret room.

The moment Huo Yao put down her phone, the cautious Shangguan Yun finally dared to speak loudly. "What did Aunt Tong say to you?"
Huo Yao raised her brow and looked at him. She seemed to know what he was worried about. "She didn't ask you to go back."
Shangguan Yun touched the tip of his nose and asked curiously, "I just heard you say that your eldest uncle is sick? What's wrong with him? Even you can't do anything about it? "
"What do you think is the most difficult illness to treat?" asked Huo Yao as she tapped her fingers on the table.
Shangguan Yun had no interest in medicine, so he did not know what was the most difficult illness to treat. He could not help shaking his head. "What illness?"
Huo Yao smiled without saying a word. She picked up the juice beside her and drank it unhurriedly.
Shangguan Yun's curiosity was piqued. He opened his mouth to ask more questions, but the door to the private room opened and interrupted him.
Min Yu had come over after dealing with some matters.
"Are you bored?" asked Min Yu as he sat down next to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao shrugged slightly and took another sip of juice before she replied. "I'm fine. I'll just treat it as gaining some experience."
After all, the people downstairs were demons from all over the world, and it was rare for them to gather together.
Min Yu raised his brow when he saw how calm Huo Yao was. He said ambiguously, "The trade fair doesn't just sell guns and ammunition. It also sells defensive weapons."
He remembered that the last time he assembled a protective weapon, it was this girlfriend of his who claimed to have never seen the world who secretly gave him the inspiration.
"Oh," acknowledged Huo Yao. She still looked uninterested.
On the other hand, Shangguan Yun, who was waiting beside him, felt a little itchy. "If I see something I like in the trade fair later, will you give it to me?"
"Sure, if it suits you." Min Yu did not hesitate at all and was very generous.
Shangguan Yun sent Huo Yao a smug look and said, "See? Brother-in-law said it's okay."
Huo Yao glanced at him and could not be bothered to answer him. She finished her juice and felt a little bloated, so she stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
With that, he walked out of the private room.
The person in charge was still standing at the entrance. When he saw Huo Yao, he nodded at her politely. "Where are you going?"
Huo Yao pointed at the signboard hanging in the corridor.
The person in charge instantly understood. "The bathroom is at the end. Turn right and you'll see it."
Huo Yao thanked him and walked towards the washroom.
The moment she turned right, she saw a tall man talking on the phone with his head down. He did not seem to be paying attention and almost bumped into Huo Yao.
The man raised his head. When he saw Huo Yao's face, his green eyes paused for a moment before he said politely in English, "Sorry."
