Although Yao Yuechuan had lowered his voice, everyone present was an ability user and heard what he said clearly.
When Long Yu heard this, he looked at Yao Yuechuan. Now that he examined him closely, he noticed some similarities between Yao Ran and Yao Yuechuan.
Both of them had similar round phoenix eyes, tall nose bridges, and plump red lips. If Yao Yuechuan had dropped his carefree demeanor and stayed quiet, even his temperament would resemble Yao Ran's.
After a moment of silence, Yao Ran withdrew her killing intent and asked, "Why did you ask if I activated the jade pendant or not?"
Hearing this, Yao Yuechuan motioned for her to untie him with his lips. Seeing his silly expression, Yao Ran rolled her eyes and retracted her vines.
Once freed, Yao Yuechuan rubbed his aching arms and said, "Besides being curious about whether you successfully activated the jade pendant or not, this matter is actually related to what The Ark is trying to do."
Yao Ran stared at him for a few seconds and then said, "Go on."
Seeing that she was finally willing to talk calmly, Yao Yuechuan pulled her to sit down beside him and asked, "I believe you have heard of Project Zero, right?"
Nodding, Yao Ran replied, "Yes. Is there a connection between the jade pendant and Project Zero?"
Yao Yuechuan nodded and said, "Yes. If I remember correctly, Yehao should have sent you the file he found in the secret laboratory."
"You mean the file stating that Project Zero was founded by Grandfather?" Yao Ran asked with a frown.
Yao Yuechuan's eyes lit up as he said, "Yeah, that one. You must have read it, right?"
"Yes." Yao Ran paused for a second before asking, "So you are saying that Grandfather is really the one who planned and founded Project Zero?"
"Yes," Yao Yuechuan answered calmly.
Hearing this, Yao Ran's eyes dimmed. She clenched her hands tightly and asked, "Why did he do that?"
Yao Yuechuan rubbed his chin as he tried to recall his memories.
After a while, he said, "I actually found out about this by chance. At that time, Grandfather had just brought back a group of children from several orphanages, including Gao Shuwei and Yehao."
When he said that, Wu Yehao chimed in, "Did something happen that day?"
