The atmosphere was somewhat silent, even Lily had quieted down.
Zhang Ze folded the letter and put it away.
"Why the long faces? Aunt Niao is fine."
"The illusion array remains unbroken, only a few of us have awakened."
"Aunt Niao's family should still be quite safe."
"And the things in this box... it's likely Aunt Niao's contingency plan."
"She's been communicating frequently with Elder Wang; if suddenly cut off, Elder Wang will surely come looking."
"Unless Elder Wang's been sent out by the Pavilion Master."
Zhang Ze looked at the indentation on the jade box, took out the Jade Pendant from his chest, and compared them, finding they fit perfectly.
Originally, Elder Wang should have been the one to open this jade box.
He pressed the Jade Pendant into the groove, Spiritual Qi flowed, and the side of the jade box opened.
Inside, there were not many items, just a few things.
