Neither the nightclub nor Xie Yu, who tried to muddy the waters, managed to take the Ancient Xuan Beast Egg from the Imperial Uncle Mansion.
Imperial Uncle Luo, an astute veteran of such joyous places, had been wary of this and had hidden the egg within a portable chest he carried.
The chest was crafted by a skilled artisan, with two keys to lock it. He and Lady Yao had agreed that after the ceremony, they would dispatch the precious chest. During the welcoming of the bride, one key had been handed to the two sisters Xiao Chu, while the other remained in the hands of Imperial Uncle Luo.
One of those keys now resided in Xiao Ya's hand.
Having firmly fallen flat on her face at the nightclub this time, Lady Yao lost two subordinates and was publicly shamed, leaving her seething with rage and indeed, she stormed off without even taking along Xiao Chu's corpse.
Before leaving, she declared that Xiao Ya's life or death was of no concern to the nightclub.
