Chapter 1868: Make up an excuse
Huo Yao thought about it and said, "Your birthday present."
Huo Yulin's lips twitched. Although the value behind the three tokens was of extraordinary significance, he should be happy, but -
"My birthday is in October."
It's only May.
Huo Yulin's eyes became more resentful.
What's more, why choose to give a birthday gift at the most critical stage of the heir voting?
This is clearly just an excuse made up at random!
Huo Yao was silent for two seconds, then looked at him. His voice was very soft, and one could tell it was really perfunctory: "Otherwise, Third Brother, just...consider me sending you there in advance?"
This way I can save one more birthday present this year.
Huo Yulin: “?”
Huo Yao turned away and said, "I'll go upstairs to see uncle."
She stroked the black box in her arms with her fingers and looked at Shangguan Tong again.
After staring at each other for only two seconds, Shangguan Tong stood up and said, "Your uncle's medicine should be ready. I'll go get it."
Huo Yao nodded slightly and hummed softly.
After a while, the two went upstairs.
Huo Yulin did not follow them. He looked at the backs of the two people and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
I always feel like Aunt Tong and his sister seem to have known each other for a long time?
Huo Yulin looked doubtful.

Huo Yao and Shangguan Tong walked upstairs. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not go to Huo Jingfeng's room first, but went to the glass room on the balcony outside the second floor.
There is a set of leisure tea chairs in the glass room. The tea table is very clean. A full moon slowly appears in the darkening night overhead, and soft light pours down, blending with the orange-toned light, making it hazy and peaceful.
Shangguan Tong placed the porcelain cup in her hand on the tea table. The rich smell of Chinese medicine soon filled the glass room. She looked at Huo Yao, waiting for her to speak.
Huo Yao handed the box directly to Shangguan Tong.
"What is this?" As soon as Shangguan Tong's fingers touched the black box, he was pricked by the coldness of the special material.
But she soon opened the box and looked at the black jade inside. She suddenly raised her head again, with shock on her face. "Where did you find this black jade?"
She had searched secretly before, and even investigated the First Base, but she did not find any information about the Black Jade.
I didn't expect the child to be found so quickly.
Huo Yao looked at Aunt Tong, then reached out and closed the lid of the box, then said, "This jade was found in a suspended underground palace."
Shangguan Tong was stunned. "Floating underground palace?"
"Yeah." Huo Yao nodded, thought about it, then took out his phone and flipped through the photos he had taken in the underground palace. "Take a look at this pattern."
Shangguan Tong took the phone and saw the extremely familiar pattern. Her pupils shrank instantly and her expression changed obviously.
Huo Yao took in Aunt Tong's reaction. After a moment, she spoke again, tentatively: "This pattern seems to be the same as the pattern in the forbidden area of the clan."
Shangguan Tong came back to his senses and returned the phone to Huo Yao, "Have you been to the forbidden area?"
"I went in by mistake once before." Huo Yao said in a light voice.
Shangguan Tong was silent for a while, then nodded, "Yes, this pattern is indeed the same as the forbidden area, but where is this underground palace?"
Huo Yao explained the location of the underground palace, "Now the underground palace has sunk."
"It sank?" Shangguan Tong was slightly surprised.
"Well, this piece of jade sank after I took it out." Huo Yao's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly remembered the black shadow he saw in the underground palace.
