Chun Tao's face flushed red instantly, and her shoes became sticky and messy, looking quite unsightly.
Seeing this, the man felt even more embarrassed and quickly said, "I...I'll change it right away! Wait, wait a moment, I'll...I'll get you a new one..."
"No need, I ate too much at dinner and can't drink anymore. But if you think it's wasteful, you can drink it yourself or share it with others."
Li Chang'an spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed across Chun Tao's face for some reason. Then she nodded and said somewhat awkwardly, "Well... alright then!"
After saying that, she turned and left in a hurry.
The night wind was chilly, blowing against Li Chang'an's face and body, making her feel a slight chill all over her body.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even feel the chill, but now that my thoughts have been interrupted, it feels like all five senses have returned to my body.
So Li Chang'an went back to his room with a heavy heart.
But as soon as Li Chang'an entered the room, he felt that something was not quite right about it.
At first glance, it seemed no different from usual. The room was furnished in the same way, and even the military books on the table by the window were still the same ones she had opened before she left.
But within this feeling of everything remaining the same, there is an indescribable sense of deliberateness.
After a thorough inspection, Li Chang'an indeed found something amiss.
She found a light dusting spot next to the leg of the cabinet in her room, with drag marks on it.
Without a doubt, this cabinet has been moved.
Not only that, Li Chang'an also found a very inconspicuous mark next to his bed.
After careful examination, Li Chang'an concluded that the mark should be half a footprint left by someone.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
You know, my room is cleaned every day. No matter how negligent the maids are, they would never leave this dust. And looking at the size of the footprints, they shouldn't have been left by a woman.
Li Chang'an squatted down and rubbed some of the mud off the footprint one last time. After rubbing it between his fingertips, he discovered that the mud contained fine sand particles and was reddish-brown in color. No such soil could be found in the entire General's Mansion.
It seems that some uninvited guest took advantage of the moment when I left the general's mansion and barged into my room from the outside.
Thinking of this, Li Chang'an's expression became even more solemn, and a guess arose in his mind.
However, whether the facts are as one imagines remains to be seen; one must go and verify it.
So Li Chang'an immediately got up, raised his hand and lifted his bed, and in an instant, all that was left in front of him was a hard bed board.
However, upon closer inspection, the color of the bed frame seems to differ from the other parts of the bed, suggesting it was installed later.
The bed board also had some intricate dark patterns and grooves, as well as a dense array of raised protrusions that made it impossible to discern what kind of pattern they formed.
Seeing this, Li Chang'an understood.
Sure enough, someone broke into my room and ransacked it!
Not only that, the other party also seemed to have found the key to the bed board and tried to crack the mechanism, but unfortunately, it didn't work out in the end.
Immediately, Li Chang'an reached out and gestured a few times to the dark patterns on the bed board, then pressed the raised dark grooves into the bed, and at the same time, some of the recessed dark grooves became raised.
After a series of operations, the originally chaotic dark patterns on the bed board became traceable, seemingly possessing some mysterious regularity.
Then came a soft click, as if the door to a new world had been opened.
On the bed frame, a rectangular hidden compartment suddenly appeared, and inside that compartment was the peerless silver spear that had been so hard to obtain.
It turned out that after the people from Dark Night Pavilion came to rob him that day, Li Chang'an went back and hid the silver spear in a hidden compartment under his bed.
In this way, not only would this thing sleep under him at night, but even during the day or when he was not in the general's mansion, no one would be able to find where the silver spear was hidden.
Even if the other party is very clever and can guess that the silver spear is hidden under the bed board, there is no way to open that mechanism.
In fact, such an ingenious mechanism is all thanks to the work of old man Mingrui.
Actually, Li Chang'an only accepted this little gadget that Uncle Mingrui had researched by chance. She thought it wouldn't come in handy, but unexpectedly it helped her a lot.
As for the uninvited guest who sneaked into his room, Li Chang'an felt that it was most likely related to the Dark Night Pavilion.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Having failed to rob them outright, they actually dared to come here and try to steal chickens and dogs.
Li Chang'an became increasingly angry the more he thought about it.
The Dark Night Pavilion's methods are simply too shameless.
But besides that, there was something else that Li Chang'an couldn't understand: she simply couldn't figure out what was so special about this silver spear that would attract the attention of a mysterious assassin organization that had been out of the public eye for a long time.
Even if this silver spear is indeed a rare and divine weapon, so what?
Li Chang'an felt from the bottom of his heart that if something could be measured in money, it couldn't be considered precious; at most, it could be considered expensive.
Furthermore, there are many skilled craftsmen throughout the world, and countless divine weapons have emerged throughout history. The reason why a divine weapon can be called a divine weapon is naturally because it has its own unique features.
For example, the reason why Li Chang'an tried to disguise the Xuanming sword after obtaining it immediately was because he was worried that it would be coveted by someone with ulterior motives.
However, this was something Li Chang'an did after obtaining the dagger and following the guidance of a master.
Although he knew from the beginning that the Xuanming dagger was an ancient divine weapon, Li Chang'an did not feel that it was much different from an ordinary dagger during its use.
If one had to point out a difference, this dagger was indeed incredibly sharp and exceptionally easy to use, as if it had recognized Li Chang'an as its master.
If it weren't for that incident at Tao Yaojun's hot spring, Li Chang'an probably wouldn't have had much of an opinion about her dagger by now.
Once an object is imbued with spirituality, it can be called a divine artifact.
