Chu Qianli walked out of the Jing Prince's mansion with a smile.
However, the smile vanished from her lips the moment she stepped outside.
At times in life, when you think you are at your most glorious...
You are, in fact, extremely bored.
Utterly bored.
Truly, bored to death!
She didn't even know why she was smiling.
Now, as Chu Qianli walked down the street, she not only had no smile, but her mood wasn't particularly good either.
In fact, her heart felt heavy.
But she quickly composed herself.
There was no hurdle in life that couldn't be overcome.
Her animosity with Feng Yexuan today meant they could never be on good terms again, but was there really anything to regret?
After all, she didn't want that scoundrel anymore.
After clearing her thoughts, she realized her stomach was rumbling. She was hungry!
She walked into a nearby noodle shop and was about to order something when she noticed a dirty-looking boy watching her from not far away.
To call him a boy, it was hard to tell his age. He had a slender build, but he was hunched over, his gaze extremely humble.
His face was a bit dirty, making it hard to discern his features.
He seemed to want to approach but dared not.
Then she looked at his hand...
Chu Qianli's heart jolted. She stood up abruptly and quickly walked up to him: "You..."
The man didn't speak, but simply extended his hand, offering the item in it to her.
"Did I drop this?" When did I drop it?
Chu Qianli was almost scared to death! She had dropped a super firecracker on the road.
The man nodded, blinked his eyes, and looked back.
The direction he looked was clearly where Chu Qianli had been walking.
She had dropped the firecracker on the ground!
How could that be? The firecracker was in her Qiankun Chain, how could it have fallen out?
But this super firecracker, she could see it clearly. It was specially crafted for her by Long Xinghe. In this era, no one else would have one besides her.
Yes, Feng Yexuan also had one, which that scoundrel had snatched to study.
But each firecracker had a number. The one in the man's hand definitely fell from her Qiankun Chain.
"Thank you!" Chu Qianli quickly took it and, at the fastest speed possible, put it into her pocket.
In fact, she put it back into her Qiankun Chain.
She raised her hand and wiped her forehead, feeling a wave of dread. Her hand was covered in cold sweat.
Just thinking about it was terrifying!
How could such a dangerous item be carelessly dropped? If it had detonated, how many people would have been harmed?
How could she have been so careless? It was simply unbelievable!
It was truly bizarre!
She wanted to ask the man how he found it, but when she looked up, he had already slowly walked away.
Honest and upright... Well, perhaps he didn't know what he had found. In any case, he picked something up and returned it, with no intention of asking for a reward. He was a kind-hearted person.
Chu Qianli was no longer in the mood to eat.
Even though her stomach was still very hungry.
She walked to a corner of the street and carefully examined the items in her Qiankun Chain. It seemed nothing was missing.
But wasn't the Qiankun Chain the safest space? Why could something inside fall out?
Where exactly did something go wrong? This matter was too strange!
She couldn't figure it out!
Without an answer, she asked for directions to the Ling Prince's mansion and continued walking, thinking all the while, but still without a clue.
Should she ask Ninth Uncle about this another day? He knew everything, perhaps he would know...
Suddenly, Chu Qianli stopped.
What were those people ahead doing?
