A small stone fragment spun between Nan Xiaonan's fingers—it was not the Stone Tablet Fragment she had originally found, merely one she had picked up by the roadside... As for her two fragments, she had already handed them over to Boss Luo on the way to the Royal Capital.
As for why she had picked up a stone fragment, there was actually no particular reason. It was simply meant to serve as a substitute.
It made it easier for her to enter a meditative state.
In truth, she still mainly relied on the Meditation Method taught to her by the sealed Big Stone in the Roaring Forest... Yet she had been in the Royal Capital for more than two days now. Aside from sensing the existence of a Stone Tablet Fragment once, the Meditation Method had shown no further reaction.
Moreover, after the reaction from the new Stone Tablet Fragment appeared, it had soon vanished inexplicably.
"Such a huge Royal Capital, the heart of the entire Elnes Kingdom and the most prosperous city on the continent... Could there really be only one fragment?"
She lay on the table, staring out the window of the inn's luxurious suite... A curfew had been imposed because of the assassin incident. At night, the Royal Capital had lost its usual bustle, and there were barely any lights in the streets. The entire city seemed to have fallen asleep.
She had seen Tang Tianlin early that morning, but had heard nothing from him since... He had said he would infiltrate the palace through the arena. She did not know whether the assassination attempt had affected his plans.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
At this hour?
She had not ordered room service... Could it be Tang Tianlin?
That was the most likely possibility.
