"Master... why are you here?"
At the sound of Dugu Qingqian's voice, Li Zuoyue shivered and hid the Soul Fighting Machine behind her back with a sheepish smile.
"What are you hiding?" Dugu Qingqian glanced at her.
"Nothing... nothing!"
I'm so busted. Li Zuoyue felt guilty. Master has seemed to have a huge problem with Junior Brother Wang Xiu recently. This Soul Fighting Machine is his creation. If she finds out, I can't even imagine how furious she'll be!
"Hand it over!" Dugu Qingqian stretched out her hand, her tone calm yet commanding.
Li Zuoyue swallowed hard. Ultimately, she succumbed to her master's imposing authority and passed the item over.
"Hmm?"
Dugu Qingqian took the Soul Fighting Machine, her eyebrows raised slightly as her expression grew serious.
The palm-sized token was engraved with incredibly complex and profound patterns, giving it a truly extraordinary feel.
"What is this?" Dugu Qingqian asked.
"The Soul Fighting Machine!" Li Zuoyue answered truthfully.
