Sophie Kenwick’s magic was truly on a whole different level.
Next, Sophie brought down the wall that separated Xyla Quest from the current chamber and the sixth room.
The outside world appeared before Xyla’s eyes once again.
Right then, everyone outside was in a petrified state.
They all stood still with blank stares in their eyes, while their postures and facial expressions were all different.
Stanley Batton was also in a similar state.
The only difference was that Stanley looked slightly better than the rest.
Right then, Stanley had his hands in his pockets as he stood still. His gaze was deep, and his demeanor was cold as usual.
Even if Stanley had turned into a statue, he’d still be the most handsome one.
Xyla instantly panicked.
She quickly walked up to him and reached out to touch his face. “Darling? Darling!”
Right then, everyone suddenly reverted to normal again, letting out a long sigh.
Stanley looked tenderly at his wife. “Honey, do you feel warm?”
Meanwhile, the others sat down, seeming relaxed.
It was as if Xyla had gone back in time before anything happened. Everyone was immensely carefree.
Nobody mentioned anything about the sudden blackout earlier.
Xyla looked at her husband with a shocked expression. She then turned to look at everyone else. “Do any of you remember what just happened?”
The others didn’t take her reaction too seriously and soon started behaving normally.
Stanley was the only one who continued to regard Xyla with a thoughtful expression on his face. He seemed to be on the verge of having something to say, but he didn’t speak up.
Xyla knew what he was thinking the moment their eyes met but chose to remain silent in the presence of others.
The two of them implicitly decided not to discuss this.
After Xyla and the others rested for a while and ate, they moved everything out of the seventh room except for the white jade coffin.
Sophie lied inside it.
Xyla wasn’t sure if moving would affect Sophie.
Hence, as a safety precaution, Xyla decided not to touch it.
