Huo Yulin felt like he was floating as he stepped out of the conference room.
The job unexpectedly fell into his lap.
Huo Yulin squeezed the three tokens inside his pocket. He paused briefly, took out his phone, and called Huo Yao.
After the call got through, it rang briefly and got cut off quickly.
Huo Yulin was stunned. He thought his little sister had unintentionally rejected the call, so he tried again.
In the end, it was the same and she rejected the call immediately. The third time he tried, all he got was a cold mechanical automated message saying the phone was out of the service area.
Huo Yulin went quiet.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
"Miss Huo, are you busy?" asked Rocco after seeing Huo Yao use the phone.
His face no longer looked pale and sickly. His face looked slightly more pink and healthier.
Huo Yao veered her eyes, raised her head, and smiled. "Nope."
She picked up the pen again and continued writing.
After listing 20 herbs, Huo Yao raised her head and handed the prescription to the bodyguard. "Take this prescription for two more months and you'll recover fully."
The moment Rocco heard the words "recover fully", a suppressed light swept across his eyes. After some time, he composed himself and asked, "Will I really…"
Huo Yao raised her brow. "If you watch your health, you can live for a few more decades."
Rocco leaned into the seat backrest and automatically clenched his fists. He did not know how to thank Huo Yao.
He turned to open the coffee table drawer and retrieved a check he had prepared in advance.
He handed it to Huo Yao, but she did not accept it. She simply stood up and nodded. "Your Highness, you already did me a huge favor today."
The token from the royal family was worth far more than the check. She naturally would not accept medical fees from him.
Rocco was an intelligent man and promptly knew what Huo Yao meant. In the end, he stopped insisting and took the check back. "If ever you need my help, just call me."
He was more than happy to align himself with the Huo family anyway.
Huo Yao nodded. "In that case, I won't hold Your Highness up any longer."
"Sure." Rocco sent men to walk Huo Yao out.
After she was gone, Rocco's face reverted to its usual coldness. He contemplated briefly before he took out his phone and made a call. "Continue to keep an eye on Fan Shun. Find out what he wants from Miss Huo."

On the way back to the Huo estate, Huo Yao received a call from Min Yu and went to his place instead.
"Did you say you already have the test results for the jade?" asked Huo Yao as she entered the hall.
Min Yu went out recently and only just got back. He still looked a little tired now. He nodded. "Uh huh."
He looked at the black box sitting on the coffee table and said, "It's genuinely a piece of meteorite. Also, it contains a lot of energy. It's probably the main source of power for the floating underground palace. However, they were unable to confirm its composition."
If they wanted to test the jade further, they would have to break it. Min Yu did not do this knowing it was linked to Huo Yao's white jade.
Huo Yao looked in the same direction as Min Yu at the black box.
She did not know what the box was made of, but it gave off a cool aura.
"The energy coming from the meteorite might cause fluctuations in its surrounding magnetic fields, so I got someone to make a box to help block it last minute," explained Min Yu.
