Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

After saying that, Shi Qi quietly poked his head out from behind the bookshelf and observed the old man who managed the Sutra Library. He saw that the old man was carefully checking every detail, trying to find any clues of the intruder, but it seemed that he did not find any more clues.

He sighed and said to the disciples around him, "Let's go first. We can't find it here. You go find the Pavilion Master's protectors and tell them that someone has broken into the Sutra Library without permission. Ask them to seal off the ancient temple and don't let anyone escape." After saying that, he also walked away from the secret passage.

As the footsteps gradually faded away, Shi Qi exhaled lightly and prepared to come out from behind the bookshelf. At this moment, a slight noise attracted her attention - a book on the top shelf seemed to move slightly.

"Lin Yi, look there." Shi Qi pointed to the upper shelf of the bookshelf, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Lin Yi immediately understood what Shi Qi meant. After investigating, he said in surprise: "Host, there seems to be a secret compartment at the back of the book!"

When Shi Qi heard this, he was moved and gently moved the book away. Sure enough, there was an exquisite secret compartment hidden behind the book, and inside it lay a simple jade pendant.

"This is..." Shi Qi picked up the jade pendant and felt a warm wave of power. "It seems that this jade pendant is not simple. The energy emitted by this thing is the same as the feeling the jade box gives me!"

She carefully put away the jade pendant and asked Lin Yi to activate the teleportation array.

Back at the inn, Shi Qi sat at the table, playing with the newly acquired jade pendant, her heart full of curiosity and anticipation for the unknown. Lin Yi stood by and watched silently, occasionally making a few cheerful noises, happy for her new discovery.

"Lin Yi, what do you think is the origin of this jade pendant? Does it hide any secrets?" Shi Qi looked up at Lin Yi, with a gleam of exploration in his eyes.

Lin Yi's voice rang in Shi Qi's mind, with a hint of smile: "Host, who knows? However, I believe that as long as we look for it carefully, we will uncover its secret one day."

Shi Qi walked to the window, looked at the starry night sky outside, his thoughts drifting away: "Yes, we will know its secret. Okay, I won't say anymore. It's getting late today, I should rest." After that, Shi Qi slowly walked into the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, the sunlight shines through the window lattice and into the room, bringing vitality and hope for the day.

Shi Qi opened his eyes, stretched, and felt refreshed.

She walked to the door and wanted to go downstairs to eat something first. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Luo Chen standing outside. She asked in surprise, "Why are you up so early? How long have you been waiting?"

Luo Chen looked at Shi Qi, "Not long ago, Your Highness, I just arrived. Please have breakfast first." After saying that, he handed the food in his hand to Shi Qi, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Shi Qi took the food and nodded slightly. Seeing Luo Chen was about to leave, he called him, "Wait a minute, don't you want to eat something together?"

Luo Chen stopped, looked back at Shi Qi, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will not eat. There is food prepared for us downstairs. I will go to eat with other secret guards."

Shi Qi nodded slightly, showing his understanding, "Go ahead!"

Luo Chen nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, stopped again, turned around and said to Shi Qi: "Your Highness, there seems to be a grand temple fair in the city today. If you are interested, you might as well go and take a look. It's also good to relax."

When Shi Qi heard this, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes. A temple fair sounds very interesting. Maybe we can find some clues related to the jade pendant. She smiled and nodded: "Well, good idea, then I will go and take a look. Luo Chen, do you want to come with us?"

Luo Chen shook his head slightly, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Your Highness, I still need to complete the task assigned by Your Highness regarding Shadow Valley, so I am sorry that I cannot accompany Your Highness to visit the temple fair. However, I have arranged for several secret guards to accompany you. They will protect you secretly and will not affect your mood for visiting the temple fair."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will be careful." Shi Qi nodded in understanding, then turned back to the room to have breakfast. After breakfast.

With curiosity and anticipation for the temple fair, Shi Qi packed up and set off for the temple fair. On both sides of the street, there were stalls, bustling with people, a wide variety of goods, and the air was filled with the aroma of various snacks, making people salivate.

Shi Qi was walking among the crowd, and was often attracted by various novel gadgets. She stopped in front of a stall selling antiques, and her eyes were attracted by an exquisitely carved jade pendant. The style of the jade pendant was quite similar to the one she found in the secret compartment of the Sutra Library last night, but the color was deeper, as if it contained an even older story.

"Boss, how much is this jade pendant?" Shi Qi pointed at the jade pendant and asked softly.

The stall owner was an old man with wrinkles all over his face but shrewd eyes. He looked at Shi Qi and said with a smile: "This young man has good taste. This jade pendant is a treasure passed down from my ancestors. It can ward off evil and ensure safety. The price is naturally not cheap. It costs ten taels of silver."

Shi Qi's heart moved. She didn't understand what ten taels of silver meant. "Lin Yi, do you think this thing is worth this price?"

Lin Yi's voice rang in Shi Qi's mind, with a hint of analysis: "Host, the material of this jade pendant looks quite simple and the carving craftsmanship is also quite exquisite. Although the specific value requires more professional appraisal, ten taels of silver is not too outrageous in this market. You can buy it."

Shi Qi thought of something and said, "But I don't have any money!"

Lin Yi glanced at Shi Qi and said, "When you came to Zhongzhou, didn't Zhongli Shiyan give you silver and banknotes?"

Shi Qi suddenly realized, "Oh, look at my memory, how could I forget about this! Lin Yi, you are really my caring little system~" After that, Shi Qi fumbled in her sleeves (storage bag) and finally found the banknotes and several silver ingots that Zhongli Shiyan gave her.

"Boss, here are ten taels of silver. I want this jade pendant." Shi Qi handed the silver to the stall owner, who took it with a smile, carefully wrapped the jade pendant and handed it to Shi Qi.

"Thank you for your patronage, sir. I wish you success in everything, peace and good fortune when you wear this jade!" The stall owner's words were filled with blessings.

Shi Qi held the jade pendant and continued to stroll around the temple fair in a happy mood. She came to a small stall for guessing lantern riddles and saw many people gathered together, guessing the riddles on the lanterns with great interest.

Shi Qi squeezed into the crowd and saw a red lantern with a riddle written on it: "Born in black, with a pair of big fangs. Can sail a boat in the water."
