The man in black continued to engage in a conversation with Die Er. She answered everything that the man needed to know. Shortly after, Die Er was assigned another mission. She left promptly.
Meanwhile, the man in green returned with the Longevity Locket. The man in black examined the Longevity Locket for a while and found nothing strange about it. It was a locket with a rather ordinary design, complemented with a finely-made jade piece.
After some thought, the master decided to send the man in green on a mission to give the locket back. Certainly, he was not interested in the jewelry, especially when it was meant as a gift to a young child.
The man in green robe added before leaving, "Master, should I strengthen the array formation now?"
"Yes." the man in black nodded. The two of them then proceeded to another part of the garden and disappeared into the darkness.
