The other party seemed somewhat surprised too, and nodded her head slightly towards her.
Xu Huo hadn't expected her to leave District 001 so quickly, especially considering she was here for Temporal Evolution; after such a short time, there wouldn't likely be any results.
Similarly, he gained nothing either.
This trip was originally taken with the hope of solving the issue of the Water Rubik's Cube. Of course, before coming, he was prepared for no results, but revoking the Magic Cube was truly unexpected. Additionally, in the Night Tour Dungeon, he lost quite a few instruments, most of which were taken away by the head-root tendrils and disappeared, with no hope of recovery.
Nonetheless, it wasn't entirely unprogressive. At least he learned where to look for new opportunities. Furthermore, his conversations with Jing Shi and interactions with Master Cong allowed him to see time from others' perspectives, somewhat broadening his horizons.
