Disguised as a man, she returned to the military academy and was forced to study again.

Yan Qi took the dagger, secretly shocked. She hadn't imagined it was made from the bones of an Iron-Swallowing Black Dragon. The Iron-Swallowing Black Dragon was a rare species with exceptionally high defenses. Even if a team killed it, its body wouldn't be sold on the black market. Instead, it would be given to the Federation for research, let alone used by the public to craft cold weapons.

Okay, okay, Old Man Xiao, when she was doing hard labor here before, she hid all the precious materials she had.

Now that she's gone, this kind of material is being thrown around everywhere, right?

Yan Qi looked again at the mixed copper mother in front of him. It was one of the basic materials for mechas and warships. It was rare and hard, and its hardness ranked in the top ten of all materials.

Yan Qi used only a little force to split the copper mother in two. She looked at the neatly cut surface and couldn't help but marvel at the sharpness of the dagger.

It turns out that good things don’t come cheap!

Well, although Uncle Xiao has a weird temper, his stuff is really good, and I was wrong about him!

Yan Qi put away the dagger, stood up happily, bowed, and said with satisfaction: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao! The things are very good, I will come again next time!"

When Xiao Chongming heard Yan Qi's words, she stood there like a mountain, motionless. When she was about to turn around and leave, she grabbed the box in Yan Qi's hand and said with a half-smile, "Why are you leaving? You haven't paid yet."

"What?" Yan Qi turned around in surprise. "Didn't we agree on 150 million star coins last time?"

Shocked? Is there a service charge?

Xiao Chongming tugged hard and said calmly, "I paid for the knife, but you damaged my mixed copper mother and I haven't paid for the damage yet."

When Yan Qi heard this, the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch, "Didn't you just ask me to test the knife?"

How hateful! She took back her previous thought and realized that she had not wronged him at all.

In her previous life, she had always wondered why this shop hadn't closed down. It turned out that it had been engaged in extortion from people for a long time!

Yan Qi glared at him with a face full of condemnation, insisting that he explain the situation.

Xiao Chongming frowned and asked in confusion, "Did I say anything just now?"

Yan Qi: ...You really shouldn't be a blacksmith, you should be a movie star.

If I could do it again!

Yan Qi pulled the box unwillingly, but it didn't move at all.

Seeing Xiao Chongming's expression of wanting to kill her if he had the guts, she silently told herself to care for the elderly, the weak, and the disabled. If she could ignore Uncle Xiao's muscular body and only look at his age...

In terms of age, he could be considered an old man.

After a stalemate, Yan Qi said dejectedly, "Tell me, how much do you want?"

"fifty thousand."

What?! This is a lion's mouth!

Yan Qi almost jumped up and was about to retort, but suddenly remembered the scene when the price of the knife went up last time.

She really wants to return the product now, but when she paid for it last time, she secretly swore that she would be her own security guard in this life.

So she really needs a weapon for self-defense.

Since this knife is so precious...

Yan Qi was silent for a moment, thinking that a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, and he smiled with a humiliating smile.

"Ok."

When Yan Qi walked out of the blacksmith shop holding the box, he felt that the world had become gloomy.

Although the outside of the third floor was already very dark, it did not prevent her from feeling even darker.

The urban routine is deep, I want to go back to the countryside.

This gloomy feeling continued until she got on Ji Li's luxury hovercraft, because as soon as she got in the car, she saw that the handsome profile of the man next to her had no expression at all, and his body was as cold as ice.

There were only two people in the car, Ji Li and her.

It's impossible for Ji Li to be angry with himself.

Yan Qi's clever mind quickly analyzed and concluded that he must be angry because she hung up the video call directly without saying hello to him.

Yan Qi sat in the passenger seat, leaning his head to the side, and asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"

Today has been a lot of ups and downs.

Ji Li's eyes slowly swept over Yan Qi's body. After finding that there was nothing unusual about him, he said indifferently, "You really know how to have fun. You come here to enjoy yourself whenever you have time."

Yan Qi didn't think it was a good thing to say, but she still patiently explained, "I'm not here to have fun." She opened the box and revealed the dagger inside. "Didn't I say I'd pick it up on Monday? This is it. This proves I wasn't lying before!"

Ji Li's gaze fell on the cold, black blade, and he remained silent. Yan Qi asked softly, "Are you angry because I hung up the call?"

Ji Li saw a bewildered expression on the boy's face. His smiling eyes had disappeared. The two of them were so close that they could even smell each other's shampoo.

Ji Li paused for a moment before speaking slowly:

"I've already investigated everything. Since you've messaged me, I think you should trust me to handle this matter."

Why can't you just listen to him?

After saying that, Ji Li turned his head and looked straight at Yan Qi.
