After saying that, he turned to look at the clear, sparkling hot spring water, his eyes shining with surprise. Looking at the hot spring pool restored to its original state, he even wondered if he was dreaming.
Li Chang'an didn't know how to explain this either. Looking at Tao Yaojun's eager gaze, she racked her brains for a long time, but in the end, she could only answer helplessly, "I'm not quite sure either."
What kind of answer is this?
Upon hearing this, Tao Yaojun asked incredulously, "How could you not know? Isn't this dagger yours? Tell me quickly, where did it come from!"
Li Chang'an thought about it again, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
How should I answer this question?
She couldn't possibly tell the other party that she had obtained this dagger during her previous quick transmigration mission, could she?
"I...I really didn't know. I only discovered its ability by accident when I brought Suzaku here last time. This time I was just trying my luck, but who knew it would actually work."
After hearing Li Chang'an's words, Tao Yaojun still found it unbelievable, but seeing the woman's earnest expression, he figured she wasn't the type to lie, so he stopped asking.
However, this could not dampen Tao Yao Jun's enthusiasm for exploring the truth.
He then chuckled and took the dagger from Li Chang'an, examining it carefully from all angles.
"Tsk, this is really strange. No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary dagger..."
After examining it for a long time, Tao Yaojun still couldn't figure it out. So he couldn't help but mutter to himself and scratch his head, looking completely puzzled.
Li Chang'an watched Tao Yaojun studying the matter on her own and couldn't help but shrug helplessly. She had originally planned to advise her not to waste any more time on something that was unsolvable and to take the dagger back.
Before she could even speak, she saw Tao Yaojun walk straight to the edge of the hot spring pool with a dagger in her hand, then reach out, seemingly imitating her earlier actions, so that the dagger would be able to sense the water.
Unfortunately, the scene that Tao Yaojun had expected did not occur this time. The dagger in his hand was now as steady as Mount Tai and did not move an inch.
This made Tao Yaojun even more bewildered, so he simply submerged the entire blade of the dagger in his hand into the water, but apart from creating ripples that spread outwards, there was no other movement.
"Alright, you don't need to try anymore. Even if you just throw it in, it won't do anything except sink to the bottom."
Li Chang'an, watching from the side, was speechless and couldn't help but speak up with a hint of helplessness.
Although Tao Yaojun didn't believe in this superstition from the bottom of his heart, since the owner of the item had already spoken, he couldn't continue to cause trouble, so he returned the item to its rightful owner.
Li Chang'an reached out and took it, then carefully inserted the dagger back into the scabbard at his waist.
"Look! They're back! They're all back!"
Originally, Tao Yaojun was feeling a bit depressed because she hadn't been able to solve the mystery of the dagger, but after turning her head and seeing the scenery in the cave, her face lit up with undisguised joy.
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an also looked up, and a faint smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. He then nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, I'm relieved. You don't need to be sad anymore. Let's go back."
After hearing Li Chang'an's words, Tao Yaojun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He then realized that it was really unreasonable for a grown man to have been so preoccupied with such trivial material possessions.
He then straightened his expression and sincerely thanked Li Chang'an.
"You don't need to thank me. I was originally worried about how to repay this favor, but now that things have been resolved perfectly, I'm relieved. In any case, I should still thank you for saving Zhuque back then."
Li Chang'an always had a faint smile on his lips, and his tone was exceptionally sincere.
In that instant, Tao Yaojun felt she truly admired this woman from the bottom of her heart, so she smiled and said, "Not at all, not at all. What are you saying? It's too formal. Anyway, rest assured, I, Tao Yaojun, will make this clear today: if Your Highness needs any help in the future, please just ask. As long as it's within my power, I will do my utmost!"
"Respect is not as good as obedience."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an couldn't help but smile slightly, and then nodded slightly to Tao Yaojun, his expression as gentle as a spring breeze.
After resolving the matter, the two headed home.
Upon arriving at the general's mansion, Li Chang'an had barely stepped into his own courtyard when he saw Zhuque hurrying out of his room.
Upon seeing the person, Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow slightly and then walked towards him.
Zhuque had been frowning slightly, looking thoughtful, but when she looked up and saw Li Chang'an, her face lit up with joy, and she quickly went to greet him.
"Where has Your Highness gone? I've been looking everywhere for you!"
As Zhuque spoke, she subtly observed Li Chang'an's emotions. Only after finding nothing amiss did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an simply smiled faintly and then replied, "Naturally, I went to resolve the matters that needed to be resolved."
Upon hearing this, Zhuque couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and then asked, "Did you go to see Taoyao-jun?"
Li Chang'an didn't intend to hide anything from the other party, so he nodded casually, which was considered his answer to the question.
Seeing the woman's calm expression, Zhuque felt inexplicably anxious, so she couldn't help but ask again, "How did things go? Why didn't you call me along? This isn't just your problem!"
After hearing Zhuque's words, Li Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle. She then gently patted the other's shoulder and said, "It's just a small matter. Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, you disappeared last night, so I have to handle it myself."
Li Chang'an originally intended to lighten the mood with these words, but unexpectedly, after hearing them, Zhuque felt even more guilty.
"I'm so sorry, I was so angry yesterday that I completely forgot about it..."
