Chapter 225
"Can't you think something good about me? Couldn't it be that I'm too popular and got surrounded by fans?" said Qian Jue.
Feng Qingyi rolled her eyes, "Do you think you're a celebrity? Getting surrounded by fans!"
"I'm quite famous in Shengjing, you just don't know the situation. Anyway, let's part ways here."
As soon as Qian Jue finished speaking, he quickly vanished from Feng Qingyi's sight.
Feng Qingyi looked around, saw no one, and returned to the villa.
In her bedroom, Feng Qingyi counted the gold she earned today and happily stored it in her wardrobe.
After changing into loungewear, Feng Qingyi went downstairs.
In the living room, Feng Qingci and Lou Xi were sitting together. They both looked at her when she came down.
Feng Qingyi asked puzzled, "What's wrong with you two?"
"Where did you go just now?" Feng Qingci asked.
Feng Qingyi pointed upstairs, "I've been upstairs the whole time. Where else could I go?"
"We just went up to look, and couldn't even find a trace of you," Feng Qingci said.
Feng Qingyi: "You're overthinking. I can't teleport. If I wasn't upstairs, where did I come from?"
"But we searched the bedroom, study, art room, and even the bathroom. We couldn't find you anywhere, and your phone was out of service," Lou Xi said.
Feng Qingyi explained, "I just went to the rooftop for some fresh air. My phone died, so it was off."
Feng Qingci was half-convinced, "Really?"
"What else could it be? Do you think I can disappear and reappear out of thin air?" Feng Qingyi said, "Why were you looking for me?"
Feng Qingci said, "Nothing important. Lou Xi wanted to borrow a hanfu from you. She's attending an event tomorrow."
Feng Qingyi nodded, "Alright, come upstairs with me and take a look."
Lou Xi: "Okay, thank you."
Feng Qingci followed them upstairs. Feng Qingyi opened her wardrobe.
"Lou Xi, you can choose any of these. Pick whatever you like."
Lou Xi looked at the clothes first, but suddenly her attention was drawn to a box in the wardrobe.
"Qingyi, why do you have a box here? What's inside?"
Feng Qingyi suddenly remembered she had put that box of gold in the wardrobe. "...Nothing much."
Feng Qingci, who was standing nearby, took out the box directly. "It's so heavy. What did you put in here?"
Feng Qingyi glanced at him, "I seem to be missing two gold ingots. Did you take them?"
"...It wasn't me. I need to take Lou Xi home now, so I'm leaving." Feng Qingci pulled Lou Xi along.
Feng Qingyi called out, "Come on, it could only have been you. I'm not asking you to return them."
"Well, I'm off then. You're on your own for dinner tonight," Feng Qingci said.
...
Tianqi Military Camp.
After concluding discussions about the upcoming battle with his generals, Qin Yuchuan stood alone on a small sand dune not far from the camp, gazing into the distance.
Their current encampment was on a desert plain within the southern border. After capturing Nanwu City, they had set up camp here.
Summer was approaching, but the southern border was still buffeted by rolling sandstorms and harsh weather. The soldiers had yet to shed their cotton uniforms.
In the past few days, there had been no news of Rong Sheng from Nanwu City behind them, nor any word from the surrounding mountains.
Although he had only engaged in battle with this military strategist of the southern border for a short time, he could tell that Rong Sheng was a man of ideas.
Facing him, Qin Yuchuan wasn't intimidated, but he knew he would need to put in some effort to deal with him.
With no news of him anywhere, there were only two possibilities: either he was still within Tianqi's borders, or he had already returned to the southern border.
Given the current situation, Qin Yuchuan leaned towards the latter.
After pondering the war with the southern border, Qin Yuchuan's thoughts turned to Feng Qingyi.
He pulled out his phone from his wide sleeve and dialed a video call.
The call connected quickly, and the girl in the video stared at him intently.
"Where are you?"
Qin Yuchuan replied, "Outside the military camp."
"Oh, you seem to be in a bad mood today?" Feng Qingyi asked.
Qin Yuchuan shook his head, "Not really, just thinking about some things."
"I attended a poetry meeting today and won two first prizes," Feng Qingyi happily shared.
Qin Yuchuan smiled, "Qingqing is so talented!"
"It's nothing special, but I'll keep working hard," Feng Qingyi said with a soft laugh.
Qin Yuchuan: "Good."
"Are you busy today? Do you want to come see me?" Feng Qingyi asked.
