Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 116

No matter how curious Scott was, Shannon didn't open the door. He stood outside and tried to listen to what was going on inside but didn't hear a single sound.

He stayed there for about half an hour, almost falling asleep when he felt a cool breeze blow past him. The feeling woke him up and revitalized him.

At the same, everyone else in the manor felt the same breeze. It made them feel like they'd been rejuvenated. Downstairs, Thomas felt bemused. Where had the wind come from?

It was the middle of summer, so the manor's A/C was on throughout the day. It would ensure that nobody would feel any heat. And if the A/C was on, why would there suddenly be a breeze? It felt pretty nice, though.

Meanwhile, there was finally some noise from Shannon's room. The door opened, and the three delivery guys came out with empty boxes. They respectfully bid Shannon farewell.

Scott didn't know whether he was imagining things, but he seemed to catch some hints of admiration in their eyes as they looked at Shannon.

He quickly darted into the room, but the only change he noticed was a toolbox on Shannon's desk. There didn't seem to be any new furniture. "What happened to the things that you bought, Shannon? Why's the toolbox all that's left?"

It was the size of a small suitcase, so it wasn't exactly tiny. But the three boxes the delivery guys had brought were evidently much bigger than the toolbox.

Shannon glanced at his feet without explaining anything.

What Scott hadn't noticed was that the tiles under his feet had been changed. If any practitioner of the mystic arts were there, they would realize that Scott stood atop a spirit-gathering array that had been set up using spiritual stones.

A spirit-gathering array was generally used to collect spiritual energy that people used for cultivation. As a talismanist, Shannon needed large amounts of spiritual energy when creating talismans.

And so, she'd set up a spirit-gathering array to better collect spiritual energy in her room.
