got to the noodle shop and looked inside.

It was the same shop owner running the place and there were very few patrons as usual.

Huo Yao veered her eyes before she entered the antique shop next door.

The antique shop was very small and the lights were dim while eccentric objects could be seen hanging inside the glass display cabinet.
For some reason, it felt particularly creepy looking at the place from outside.

The shopkeeper was sitting inside the store having a nap when Huo Yao entered and did not seem interested in conducting business.

But Huo Yao seemed accustomed to his behavior and said nothing.
Instead, she looked around the store unhurriedly.

After some time, the sleeping shopkeeper finally realized that someone was inside the store.
He lazily opened his eyes and looked at the girl wearing a mask and pondered briefly.

“What do you need?” The shopkeeper was a man in his forties.
He cleared his throat before he asked Huo Yao.

Huo Yao had just picked up a porcelain decoration, but she put it down and turned to look at him.
Since she was wearing a mask and only half her face could be seen, she looked particularly mysterious in the dim light.

The moment the shopkeeper saw her, he was stunned.
“You…”

Huo Yao raised her brow.
She pulled up an old rattan chair from the side, sat down lazily, and pulled out the necklace she was wearing on her neck.
“Have you seen this jade before?”

The shopkeeper snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at Huo Yao before he took the necklace and scrutinized the jade pendant for a couple of seconds.
He thought she wanted to sell it, so he answered.
“It is just an ordinary piece of jade worth a few tens of thousands.”

He paused briefly, held the jade pendant, and checked it carefully before he continued.
“Shouldn’t this have a second half to it?”
