After finishing with Xu Min, Yelai took Husky Gaze to the supermarket.
At that moment, the door of the supermarket opened with a chime.
"Welcome, come again!"
Yelai, holding the groceries in one arm and leading Husky Gaze with the other, stepped out of the supermarket. Passersby occasionally walked by him.
Husky Gaze, panting with its tongue out, observed each person that passed by but chose not to attack or engage.
Not bad at all.
Yelai glanced at Gaze with satisfaction and offered some praise.
Seemingly understanding Yelai's compliment, Gaze let out a happy bark without needing any reprimands.
Woof!
It was following Yelai's lead as they walked home.
Woof!
With Gaze's successful behavior this time, Yelai felt reassured about bringing Gaze along in the future.
After a while, Yelai returned home, entered the password to unlock the door, and headed towards the kitchen with the groceries.
"Yinlin, I'm back!"
"Back already? Why so late?" Zhang Yinlin poked her head out from the kitchen. "Cough, cough, Yelai, Uncle Zhou informed me that Captain Wang and the others have finished interrogating Zhong Zhi; it's our turn now."
"I ran into some issues on the way, which delayed me."
"What kind of issues?"
As soon as Zhang Yinlin heard this, she immediately stepped out of the kitchen.
"Will you stop attacking people now?"
"Not really, but something good happened."
"What good thing?"
"Look at this!" Yinlin said, as Yelai pulled out a Silver Pocket Watch from his pocket and waved it in front of Zhang Yinlin.
Then, he called over Gaze, who was squatting nearby, to demonstrate the function of the Silver Pocket Watch to Zhang Yinlin.
"This is a Secret Artifact?!"
Zhang Yinlin rushed over, disregarding her lady-like demeanor, and wiped her hands on her apron in a hurry.
Once she confirmed it was real, she looked at Yelai as if she had seen a ghost.
"What on earth did you do to get a Secret Artifact?"
She was incredibly excited for Yelai, thrilled that he had obtained such a valuable item. With this Secret Artifact, Yelai's personal safety would be greatly ensured.
"I didn't do much. I just went out to buy groceries for you and happened to pass by a stall where an old man was selling various antique trinkets. I felt something was off, so I activated my Golden Eyes. Lo and behold, there was a Secret Artifact among the old man's wares! I immediately bought it for nine dollars and ninety cents. Pretty impressive, right?"
Zhang Yinlin had been listening intently just a moment ago. But upon hearing "Golden Eyes," she couldn't help but chuckle and shot Yelai an annoyed glance.
"Why don't you just say you activated your Sharingan?"
"You're right! I should have said I activated my Sharingan right away—specifically the Wan Ling Tube Sharingan. Ouch! Alright, I'm done joking with you, Yinlin."
Yelai laughed as Zhang Yinlin pinched the flesh of his arm and quickly stepped aside.
"Do you know Xu Min, the Sequence Scholar?"
"Of course! Who in this era doesn't know Xu Min?"
Zhang Yinlin's words trailed off as she paused mid-sentence, looking bewildered, thinking Yelai was joking again.
You wouldn't want to say you've encountered Xu Min, right? You're joking, aren't you? How could Xu Min possibly be in the Numbered Protection Zone? You can't be serious.
She wanted to continue speaking, but then she noticed Yelai's serious expression, completely different from the playful demeanor before. In that moment, she realized that Yelai probably wasn't lying.
