564 Who’s Talking?
“Old Master, the bodyguard outside said that he has gotten the thing.”
At this moment, in the main hall of the Hong family’s mansion, Elder Hong and the butler were talking when a servant walked over and reported respectfully.
Elder Hong and the butler’s expressions immediately became solemn. The butler shouted, “Quick, bring him in.”
“Yes.”
The servant did not dare to delay and quickly left.
“All of you, leave.” The butler’s expression was solemn as he ordered all the servants in the living room, “Remember, no one is allowed to enter. No one.”
All the servants immediately retreated outside the mansion.
“Congratulations, Master. After waiting for 18 years, your wish is finally going to come true.” The butler was very excited. Ever since he followed Elder Hong, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
At this moment, Elder Hong was in a good mood. He was nervous and excited as he laughed.
“Hahahahaha, Old Yan, you know me the best. Sigh, if not for you encouraging me all these years, I’m afraid I would have given up long ago on finding the spirit crystal?”
As he smiled, he suddenly felt melancholic.
All these years, in order to find the spiritual crystal, he had spent almost all his energy and time. 18 years had passed and it wasn’t easy for him to get good news. Was his wish really going to come true today?
Why did he have a feeling that it was not the case?
Hong Yan smiled. “Old Master, don’t think too much. Since you found it, it means that your wish will be fulfilled soon. You should be happy.”
“Yes, I’m indeed happy.”
Not long after, the bodyguard walked in cautiously. He took out the pendant and held it in his hands, handing it to Elder Hong respectfully.
“Old Master, I took this from that girl. Please confirm it.
When Elder Hong saw the pendant, his pupils constricted slightly. He reached out and picked it up with trembling hands. He looked at it carefully for a while.
“Yes, this is it. Old Yan, did you see this? I finally found it. Hahahaha, I finally found it…”
The old man held the pendant and laughed crazily. As if he was reminiscing his past, suddenly, tears streamed down his creased face.
Qin Xi was speechless. She rolled her eyes and suddenly reached out to take the pendant back before putting it in her pocket.
However, Qin Xi was invisible at this moment. When she took it away, what others saw was that the pendant suddenly flew up and disappeared.
This frightened the old man and the butler so much that their faces turned pale.
Elder Hong was extremely flustered. He stood up and waved his hand in the air. “What, what’s going on? Old Yan, did you see that? Why do I feel like I’m seeing things?”
The butler was so shocked that he could not speak. His mind was filled with the unbelievable scene just now. “Master, I saw it fly up and disappear.”
“Why is it suddenly gone? It’s mine.”
Elder Hong was in despair. He had spent half his life searching for it and finally found it. Before he could celebrate, it disappeared into thin air. What was going on?
Was God playing a trick on him?
While everyone was shocked, Qin Xi said calmly, “Don’t be happy too early.”
Her voice immediately shocked the two of them.
Elder Hong stood up in fear and looked around. “Who is it? Who is talking?”
