The group stayed in the Artefact Village for a few more days.
Jade Bennett took on the task of repairing and training Jade Cabbage.
By the day Scarlett Jennings and the others left the village, Jade Cabbage was already able to return to human form.
Knowing her replication ability could actually serve a great purpose, Jade Cabbage was evidently very excited.
"Master Jennings, don’t worry, I will stay in the village and practice spiritual power with Senior Jade Bennett, to create a qualified replica as soon as possible!"
Jade Cabbage said,
"I will definitely not let the organization down with their trust in !"
Although she was a modern craft, she deeply admired the determination of the artefact seniors.
With the "re-education" from Senior Jade Bennett, Jade Cabbage had already begun to understand the so-called "faith."
Her existence held a special aning!
Upon hearing this, Scarlett looked at Jade Bennett, saw her nod, and thus put on a very serious expression,
"On behalf of the National Special Security Bureau, I entrust this matter to you. When all the artefacts are recovered, we will comnd you."
Scarlett paused, then said,
"On that day, not only you, but also the na of the one who created you, will be rembered by everyone."
Jade Cabbage was taken aback, then the light in her eyes gradually brightened again.
She nodded heavily towards her,
"Alright!"
She had to strive.
On that day, maybe she could, like those artefact seniors, be placed in the National Museum and beco a national treasure.
If such a day truly ca...
The owner might not have so many regrets anymore.
Scarlett looked at the village chief again,
"The village’s barrier has been reinforced, I’ve set up sensors around it, so if anyone tries to break in again, the Security Bureau and we will sense it."
The original array barrier surrounding the village was set up according to the village layout by Magnolia Hearne at the beginning of the construction. If it weren’t for sothing like the anomaly of the passing year, it wouldn’t be easily damaged.
Later, Samuel Chalrs reinforced the array with spiritual energy. Under Magnolia Hearne’s guidance, Scarlett also made improvents and reinforcents over the past few days, making the village’s barrier virtually unbreakable now.
The artefacts staying in the village will be very safe.
The village chief and villagers were moved again and expressed their thanks, accompanying them all the way to the mountain path.
As Scarlett and the others just reached the mountain path, they saw Holding Mountain squatting into a large lump by the roadside.
Upon seeing them, Holding Mountain imdiately stood up with a brush of motion, gave them a goofy smile, and kept muttering,
"Lead the way, lead the way back."
He was the guide of this village, they were brought up the mountain by him, so he should also take them down.
Though the villagers were a bit surprised at how these people stayed in the mountains for so long, recalling the "bustling" scene from a few days ago, they didn’t ask any further questions.
The cars sent by Donovan Jennings were waiting at the village entrance ahead of ti, a total of four cars.
Donovan Jennings directly took Magnolia Hearne into the very front car.
Magnolia Hearne hadn’t recovered from her demon state yet, now wearing a furry hat, and wrapped herself tightly, tucking away her three tails together.
Thankfully, since it was winter, even dressed like a bear, she didn’t seem too odd.
The group grandly returned to Sea City, with Scarlett not only dealing with follow-up matters but also learning to control the part of demonic power that had awakened. She was imdiately imrsed in her busy routine upon arrival.
Magnolia Hearne didn’t follow her back to the Jennings Family.
Donovan Jennings temporarily arranged for her to stay in another high-end villa not far from the Jennings Family.
This was also requested by Magnolia Hearne herself.
She felt her demonic power was gradually recovering and wanted to wait until she fully regained her human form before returning, to avoid unnecessary troubles.
Moreover, she’d originally been declared deceased, so to return openly, Donovan Jennings would inevitably have to make so "preparations" in advance.
The rest of the Jennings Family didn’t know Magnolia Hearne was coming back, but everyone could feel it —
The three mbers of the main family behaved oddly ever since they returned together.
To say Scarlett was strange was her usual self.
But when Donovan Jennings and Donovan also beca mysterious, leaving early and returning late, it was quite puzzling.
The first to notice Donovan’s odd behavior was Grandma Jennings.
Though she was usually a bit muddle-headed, she paid close attention to her eldest son and eldest grandson, whom she cared about most.
That day, she didn’t take Little Pretty out for a walk but waited early in the flower hall downstairs.
Not long after, she heard familiar footsteps coming down the stairs.
Grandma Jennings went over, and upon seeing her eldest son’s attire today, her expression beca sowhat subtle.
Since taking over the Jennings Group, Donovan Jennings had always appeared in suits before the public.
No matter when, he wouldn’t wear more than three colors.
A stern, mature, and stable image represented him to outsiders.
Even at ho, he rarely appeared relaxed.
But the Donovan Jennings in front of her...
Though still dressed in a suit, it was more casual in style.
Not only had he changed to bright-colored pocket squares and ties, but he even changed his cologne.
The current Donovan Jennings gave her the feeling of a serene deep pool turning into a bubbling spring overnight.
The kind where flowers bloom on the edge.
Grandma Jennings considered herself no longer the scandalous old lady she once was.
She had experienced being shut inside a doll and personally felt the existence of mysticism.
So, after noticing Donovan’s stylistic transformation in the past few days, her first reaction was that her eldest son was possessed.
But then she thought, with Scarlett at ho, if her son had been possessed, she would have noticed sothing.
So Grandma Jennings ford a second reasonable suspicion.
"Donovan, do you have soone outside?"
Compared to being possessed, Grandma Jennings was more willing to believe her son had t soone outside.
After all, since his wife passed away, the eldest hadn’t sought anyone else, let alone remarried.
She worried that her eldest son might end up lonely.
Donovan was rehearsing in his mind what he’d do with his wife today when he was caught off guard by Grandma’s words, appearing montarily stunned, but quickly corrected her seriously,
"Mom, there’s no one outside."
The phrase "soone outside" implies another person besides his wife, and he didn’t like this saying.
From beginning to end, there’s only ever been his wife.
Seeing him deny, Grandma Jennings straightened her face,
"You don’t need to lie to , I already know. You have soone hidden in the villa on Qingyun Road."
She said this, and before Donovan could speak, she softened her tone,
"You’ve been unwilling to find soone all these years. Now that you finally like soone, I don’t care about their background. Just bring them back."
Grandma Jennings considered herself quite open-minded.
As long as her eldest liked the person, even if their background was poor, she could accept it.
After all...the eldest daughter-in-law back then had been from an ordinary family.
She’d accepted the eldest daughter-in-law back then; she didn’t mind accepting another one.
"As for Donovan and Scarlett, don’t worry. They’re adults with their own ideas; they won’t object to you finding soone else."
Grandma paused, then added,
"If they object, I’ll talk to them for you!"
Listening to Grandma’s rambling, Donovan considered how she even took into account Donovan and Scarlett.
He originally wanted to explain, but suddenly rembered Logan telling him last night that he was almost fully recovered, thought it over, and said,
"Indeed, a formal eting is necessary. I’ll bring her back in a couple of days, and the family can et her then."
Identity docunts were ready, and the press conference and return banquet were all set.
It’s about ti for her to et everyone again.
