Could the treasures in the courtyard have originally been stored here? Huang Xiao thought.
Otherwise, there was no explaining why there was nothing at all in this room.
Forget it. It looks like the treasures here are all in the small courtyard. With that thought, Huang Xiao withdrew from the room and closed the door.
When the door closed, the writing on it appeared again.
Greed is human nature, Huang Xiao recited inwardly.
"Heh, greed. Everyone is greedy, and so am I," Huang Xiao said with a cold laugh. "But the things here aren't worthy of my attention. What I need is Essence Blood Annihilation. What I covet is the Supreme Ghost Stele. Neither is here, clearly."
Huang Xiao had already examined the treasures in the small courtyard several times and had found neither of the two things he wanted.
Since there was nothing for him here, Huang Xiao did not want to linger.
Though the treasures here were fine, Huang Xiao's standards were now extremely high. These things could not catch his eye.
After all, his status as a Hall Master Candidate in the Demon Hall gave him access to far too many fine things.
Especially with both the Heavenly Demon Hall and the Ten Thousand Demons Hall supporting him.
I'll have to be careful on my way out. Huang Xiao could not help putting himself on the highest alert as he walked out.
He emerged with his heart pounding, and only after he had walked thirty feet away and the Ghost Capital Token's mysterious sense of resonance returned did he let out a long breath.
He had come out safely. Nothing had happened at all.
What exactly is going on? Huang Xiao was deeply curious. *Strange, very strange. Could I have survived because I didn't take those treasures?
