Shen Jun was unaware that White Snake had already guessed her identity, though it wouldn’t have mattered if she knew; they had long regarded each other as formidable rivals.
Thanks to her efforts, Xu Wuyan had not only recovered but found his strange sensory abilities further sharpened. It felt as if his consciousness could soar outward at will—a realization that brought him immense satisfaction, as this power was the perfect tool for prying. Furthermore, he discovered that the severe trauma he had sustained had resulted in a qualitative improvement in his physical constitution. It wasn’t a change in stature, but in internal density; he felt as though a single punch could now collapse a wall. If he were to encounter A-Zhe again, he certainly wouldn’t be left in such a wretched state.
Yao Can, meanwhile, was stunned that they had been allowed to leave the base so easily. Based on her daily observations, the facility rarely let anyone walk out, which only deepened her curiosity about Shen Jun. Her mother’s old friend possessed influence that was truly staggering. Whether or not Shen Jun remembered her as the little girl from all those years ago, she couldn't say; Shen Jun hadn't paid her much special attention. If she had known she was the child of an old friend, there surely would have been some gesture of acknowledgment. But it didn't matter; with her mother’s death, the connection had reached its end, and that was enough.
