Zhong Yao did not receive the good news about Tang Xian as she had hoped, instead, she was met with endless despair.
What walked back from the ruins looked like Tang Xian, but it only took Zhong Yao a few seconds to see from those indifferent eyes that this was not Tang Xian.
It was the Master of Eden.
When the Master of Eden returned, Zhong Yao guessed that Tang Xian might have already been lost in the ruins of Eden.
About this, the Master of Eden did not give Zhong Yao an answer.
It continued just as before, occasionally flipping through books in the sanctuary and sometimes speaking in enigmatic phrases.
Clearly, the Master of Eden knew everything Zhong Yao and Tang Xian did, but it did not do anything to Zhong Yao.
They seemed, as they had for decades, just a pair of master and apprentice who didn't talk much.
In the eyes of the Master of Eden, the plan of Tang Xian and Zhong Yao was just a trivial episode.
