This was Qi Xianqing's test.
Because that day at Yuxu Sea, it seemed she had vaguely heard Yan Jue say something in the Mermaid Palace.
"I like."
Although Qi Xianqing now knew that relationships between women were not uncommon in this world, she still wasn't sure about Yan Jue's feelings.
How could this be possible?
Yan Jue slowly swallowed her saliva, turning to stare out the window, leaving the back of her head exposed to Qi Xianqing.
Yan Jue had a habit; whenever she wanted to escape, she would do something else to distract herself.
She tried to focus all her attention on a small point outside the window, pressing the sword Liubing tightly against her waist, her face serious.
In the darkness, Qi Xianqing narrowed her eyes slightly, gradually straightening up, her fingertips lightly resting on the candle's flickering shadow.
After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a beam of bright moonlight shone through the window, spilling onto the floor of the treasury.
Suddenly, a very faint sound came from outside the window.
Qi Xianqing's expression instantly turned serious, her body hidden under the umbrella tensing up, quiet as a tiger lying in wait in the darkness.
Something white floated in through the window.
Yes, it was floating.
That thing was so light it seemed almost invisible, drifting gently in with the wind.
It was a paper figure, about the size of a palm.
The paper figure gently landed on the ground, surprisingly standing up. It took two steps forward, moving its tiny arms, and began to rub them together like a fly.
Its arms gradually grew larger, and then the paper figure started to rub its body vigorously, as if it were making hemp rope.
The originally thin paper figure gradually transformed into the shape of a young girl.
She was a very sweet-looking girl, dressed in a snow-blue rattan-patterned skirt, moving with a gust of wind as she quickly approached a large box filled with silver coins.
The large iron chest, originally locked tight, was effortlessly opened by her soft, boneless hands.
The box was filled to the brim with shining silver.
The girl looked around cautiously before starting to frantically stuff the silver coins into her sleeves.
Yan Jue was slightly shocked, watching as the girl clearly hadn't noticed them, and was gradually approaching, already within her attack range.
Just as Yan Jue gripped the sword Liubing, ready to spring into action, a gust of wind suddenly surged beside her.
A flash of blue light appeared in the air, and Qi Xianqing, holding the sword Candle Shadow, instantly appeared before the girl.
The sword Candle Shadow, infused with the power of thunder, lit up the darkness with a shadowy blue glow, poised to pierce the girl's chest.
The girl was startled, instantly transforming into a wisp of blue smoke to escape.
Yan Jue was slightly taken aback by the blue smoke, suddenly flooded with a very familiar feeling.
That day at the Wan Yao Pavilion, the old fox spirit who came to send her a message had also turned into blue smoke and slipped away.
