Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Wangchen saluted Qianqian with a great gift and said solemnly: "Master, Wangchen is yours for this life; rest assured, Wangchen will absolutely never do anything to betray Master." Qianqian smiled faintly, "I trust you, go on."

After speaking, Wangchen turned and returned to his own room, quickly and simply packed his luggage, then left resolutely.

After Wangchen left, only Qianqian remained in the study; she sat quietly at the desk, her gaze somewhat vacant, as if thinking about something.

Just then, Hua Hua walked in; seeing Qianqian spacing out, she called softly: "Master, Wangchen left."

This call seemed to pull Qianqian back from her reverie to reality; she slowly raised her head, gave an "Mm," then continued lowering her head to look at the book in her hand.

However, once Wangchen left, he was gone for a full month, during which he didn't even send a single letter back. Hua Hua often nagged about Wangchen in Qianqian's ear, which gradually gave rise to some irritation in Qianqian's heart.

The stiflingly bored Qianqian, her mood as if shrouded by a dark cloud, walked with heavy steps slowly toward the Dark Guard Camp.

Inside the Dark Guard Camp, a scene of bustling activity. Everyone was training with full concentration; every movement appeared precise and powerful.

Qianqian stood silently to the side, gazing at them, yet Wangchen's figure involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

She thought: the Wangchen of back then must also have trained this hard, to be able to stand out in such a short time and become her personal dark guard. But where exactly is Wangchen now? What is he doing?

Qianqian's thoughts were like a runaway wild horse, galloping unrestrained. The more she thought, the more she thought, yet she could never find a definite answer.

Gradually, she felt a bit weary; she simply stopped thinking, letting those chaotic thoughts swirl in her mind.

Time hurried by; Qianqian's life remained calm as water. Every day she practiced martial arts at home, occasionally teased her cute little nephew, or went to play with Xi Xi, or went to visit Third Elder Sister Yan Shuang'er.

However, although life seemed fulfilling, Qianqian always felt as if something was missing in her heart.

And during this period, Hua Hua also seemed to have forgotten Wangchen in some corner, never mentioning him again. This made Qianqian feel a bit surprised, and at the same time she couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy.

At this moment, Qianqian was sitting quietly on the swing in Qianji Yuan, eyes slightly closed, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

Suddenly, a figure flashed into view like a ghost — it was Shiyi. He bowed with a salute and said softly: "Master."

Qianqian slowly opened her eyes, looked at Shiyi before her, and asked indifferently: "What is it?"

Shiyi replied respectfully: "Master, a few days ago the Dark Guard Camp held a promotion assessment, and three more dark guards successfully advanced. Does Master need to transfer one dark guard over to be responsible for protecting your safety?"

Qianqian considered slightly, then said softly: "No need; I should not encounter any danger here in Jingcheng."

Seeing Qianqian so determined, Shiyi could not say anything further; after reporting the relevant matters to Qianqian, he turned and left the room.

Qianqian stood in place, thought for a while with a thoughtful air, and finally decided to return to her bedroom. Upon entering the bedroom, she began packing her bundle.

Just as Qianqian was busy, Mantou happened to walk in. Mantou watched Qianqian packing and asked curiously: "Miss, where are you going?"

Qianqian answered without turning her head: "I'm going on a long trip."

Hearing this, Mantou immediately tensed up and pressed: "Does Wangfei know you're going out?"

Qianqian's movements did not pause in the slightest; while continuing to pack the bundle, she replied casually: "When I finish packing, I'll naturally tell Mother."

Seeing Qianqian seemed to have made up her mind, Mantou no longer tried to dissuade her. On the contrary, she quickly stepped to Qianqian's side and helped pack the bundle together.

Not long after, a small bundle was packed. The bundle didn't contain much — only a few changes of clothes. Notably, though, the clothes Qianqian took were all men's clothing.

After all, when traveling outside, men's clothing would be more convenient. After finishing packing, Qianqian walked with light steps through the courtyard and arrived at An Wangfei's courtyard.

At this time, the sunlight was just right, a gentle breeze brushed by, and the flowers, grasses, and trees in the courtyard appeared exceptionally vibrant.

An Wangfei was sitting on a stone bench, chatting happily with Shangguan Xingyu; their laughter rang out from time to time.

Yan Jingxi was amusing himself to the side, playing with his ball; his adorable appearance made one unable to hold back a smile.

The moment Qianqian stepped into the courtyard, she happened to see this warm scene.

A smile instantly bloomed on her face; she walked quickly to An Wangfei and Shangguan Xingyu and said in a coquettish voice: "Mother, what are you chatting about? You look so happy — is there some happy event?"

An Wangfei turned her head and saw Qianqian; the smile on her face grew even more radiant. She replied gently: "We were talking about your Third Elder Sister, wondering whether the baby in her belly is a boy or a girl."

Hearing this, Qianqian's eyes brightened; she smiled and said: "When the pregnancy is further along, we'll be able to tell!"

An Wangfei nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's still early; indeed we can't tell yet."

Taking advantage of An Wangfei's good mood, Qianqian had a sudden inspiration and immediately changed the subject: "Mother, I plan to go out for a trip; when I return I'll bring you gifts!"

Hearing this, An Wangfei's previously relaxed brows furrowed slightly; she asked with some worry: "Where to?"

Qianqian hurriedly explained: "Mother, I just feel a bit bored in the residence and want to go out for a stroll, and by the way pick out some special gifts for you."

An Wangfei relaxed slightly, but still said uneasily: "Then just wander around Jingcheng; Jingcheng is very lively, and there are many fun places."

Qianqian blinked her lively large eyes and replied coquettishly: "Mother, look — your daughter is already thirteen now, and the coming-of-age ceremony is only a few years away.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, by convention, it would be time to discuss marriage and then get married. But daughter feels that once married, I'll be like a bird locked in a cage, trapped in this tiny little world, never again able to fly freely.

A human life is so short; daughter truly doesn't want to leave any regrets in the days to come. So daughter really wants to go out and tour the magnificent rivers and mountains of our motherland!"
