Xie Ningyuan smiled. "Why not?"
Ji Heng retorted without hesitation, "I locked this Array with a thousand-year Moon Stone. Unless you found the Moon Stone, it's absolutely impossible..."
"Oh, you mean this?"
Before Ji Heng could finish, Xie Ningyuan cut her off.
He held up a stone that glowed with a soft, lunar light and gave Ji Heng a faint smile. "I happened to take a stroll through your courtyard just now. This stone looked quite pretty, so I helped myself to it. Do you want it?"
Ji Heng's eyes widened. "You... How is that possible? I specifically placed the Moon Stone in a hidden secret room..."
Just then, Yan Zui, who had been pretending to be asleep, couldn't help but open her eyes. "Ahem... I had nothing to do tonight, so I snuck into your courtyard for another look. I happened to see you coming out of a secret room."
"I casually wedged a small shard in the door as it was closing. You seemed to be in a hurry and left without double-checking."
