Chapter 1699: Not a Paradise
After dinner, the three of them went directly to the central building.
The Central Building is where the Weapons Bureau conducts transactions and displays. Although its headquarters is not located here, it is a landmark building.
The exterior design of the entire building is very aggressive, especially at night when the lights are on. The lightning-like logo on the top becomes even more fierce and murderous.
Shangguan Yun looked up at the building in front of him, once again revealing the expression of a country bumpkin entering the city.
For a long time, he didn't even move his legs.
It turns out that the world outside is really good. No wonder his sister loved to sneak out in the past and even lied to him that it was not good.
Come to think of it, it’s a bit too much!
Huo Yao and Min Yu were walking in the front. When they noticed that the young man didn't keep up, they turned back. Seeing that his eyes were wide open, they couldn't help but press their eyebrows.
"How about having someone bring out a chair so you can just sit here and watch?"
Min Yu also looked back at Shangguan Yun at this time, but Zhuo Yun came over and whispered a few words in his ear, so he looked at Huo Yao again, "I'm going to take care of something, you guys go upstairs and wait for me."
Huo Yao knew that rich people were always very busy, so he waved his hand at him sympathetically and said, "Go ahead."
Soon, Min Yu and Zhuo Yun walked away.
Before leaving, he arranged for the person in charge here to take Huo Yao and the others in.
Shangguan Yun finally came back to his senses at this time, touched the tip of his nose, and whispered to Huo Yao: "I finally know why you always sneaked out before."
Huo Yao glanced at him sideways.
"If it were me, I would also stay in the outside world forever." Shangguan Yun sighed.
After hearing this, Huo Yao did not respond for a long time. The light from the doorway cast a hazy glow on her face, as if covering it with a layer of hazy twilight, making it impossible to see her true emotions.
"Do you want to stay outside all the time?" Huo Yao suddenly asked with his hands in his pockets.
Shangguan Yun nodded without thinking, "Yes, I do. Although some aspects of the outside world are quite backward, there are also interesting aspects of being backward."
A place isolated from the world is not a paradise, it may also be a huge shackle.
It imprisons people's souls, making them live in boredom day after day and year after year, and finally die silently.
This kind of life is at least not what he wants.
The boy's immature face showed a maturity that was inconsistent with his age. Perhaps because of talking about this topic, the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed.
Huo Yao took in his expression, nodded, and said, "Okay, I understand. I will tell Aunt Tong exactly what you said today."
Having said that, she continued walking forward.
Shangguan Yun was stunned. The child's emotions came and went quickly. After he realized what was happening, he immediately chased after him angrily, "No, how could you be like this?"
If he tells Aunt Tong, his good days will probably be over!

After a while, the person in charge of the exhibition hall respectfully led Huo Yao and his sister into the lobby on the first floor.
As they walked, he briefly introduced the exhibition hall to the two of them, "...The trade fair doesn't start until 8 o'clock. It's upstairs. It's still early now. I'll take you upstairs first."
The weapons bureau's trade fair is nothing more than an arms trade, with both official and unofficial forces from various countries involved, so the atmosphere is particularly tense.
The air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
After entering the elevator, Shangguan Yun let out a sigh of relief. Although he was not afraid of those ferocious people outside, being stared at by such cold and vicious eyes made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
