Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

Li Chunhua said with a mocking smile, "With your abilities, you won't be able to save even two taels of silver in your entire life!"

Li Chunhua's retort made He Mu's face flush red and then pale, and he said with a stern face: "Think what you want, do whatever you want, or you can go and look for it at the bottom of the mountain yourself."

"But I must warn you, even if you find that silver note, it might be stained with blood, or it might already be in pieces."

"Aah~"

Li Chunhua immediately sat down on the ground and burst into tears: "Damn it! That's my hard-earned money saved up for years!"

Suddenly, Li Chunhua's crying stopped abruptly, her eyes widening: "No, it must have been that man who took it! It must have been him! I thought he was a good person, but who knew he was after my money!"

Seeing that Li Chunhua's gaze was finally no longer on her, Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Forest outside Hengnan Prefecture

As darkness slowly fell, Zhao Lian paced anxiously back and forth. It was already getting dark, and the dense forest made it even darker.

At this moment, Zhao Lian kept glancing at the path not far away; she had been waiting for Song Wenjie there for most of the day.

Three days ago, she made an appointment with Song Wenjie, agreeing to wait for him here. She arrived this morning and waited for most of the day, but she still hadn't seen him.

"Damn it, where the hell is this guy? I haven't seen him since it got dark." Zhao Lian kicked at the pebbles on the ground, cursing as she did so.

The key point is that I wanted to take him to see a good show this time. If we miss the show, we probably won't be able to see it at all.

"Da da da da..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar. Zhao Lian became excited and looked up to see a tall, magnificent horse galloping toward them.

Although it was late, Zhao Lian's sharp eyes immediately recognized that the person who had come was Song Wenjie.

"Great! I've been waiting all day, you've finally arrived!"

Zhao Lian's eyes darted around, and she suddenly had the idea to tease Song Wenjie. She picked up two pebbles from the ground, looked around, and then leaped onto a lush tree not far away.

Zhao Lian was not mistaken; the person who came was indeed Song Wenjie. He had been rushing all the way from the Prince's mansion, only stopping once during the 200-mile journey.

It's not that he needs to rest, but mainly it's to take care of the horse. No matter how good the horse is, you can't drive it to its death. It needs to rest, drink some water, and eat some hay.

The journey of 200 li (approximately 100 kilometers) would normally take at least five hours, but this time he hurried as fast as he could and only took a little over three hours, finally arriving in Hengnan Prefecture just before dark.

Looking at the grove of trees ahead, Song Wenjie felt uneasy, wondering if Zhao Lian was still there.

If she's not around, I don't know where to look for her.

Looking at the grove of trees ahead, Song Wenjie slowed down. As he entered the grove, he suddenly felt a gust of wind and something hit his horse's leg with a snap.

"Hi~"

The horse beneath him immediately knelt on both knees, reared up and neighed. Song Wenjie leaped and landed steadily on the open ground in front of him.

"Who?"

Song Wenjie immediately became wary, looking around nervously.

No sooner had he finished speaking than another gust of wind blew, this time heading straight for his face.

Song Wenjie's right hand moved with lightning speed, his index and middle fingers firmly catching the flying pebble.

Song Wenjie smiled. It seemed that the other party must be Zhao Lian, who was probably getting impatient waiting for him and had nowhere to vent her anger.

Zhao Lian was taken aback when Song Wenjie caught the stone she threw with his index and middle fingers.

She had used only 30% of her strength to catch the pebble, but Song Wenjie had caught it with just two fingers. The speed was beyond her expectations.

Suddenly, Song Wenjie's lips curled up, and he turned around and threw the pebble in his hand towards where Zhao Lian was.

Just moments ago, I was amazed that Song Wenjie had managed to catch the pebble with his bare hands, but to my surprise, he threw the pebble at me the next time.

Zhao Lian quickly dodged to the side and leaped down, a smile playing on her lips: "General Song's skills are truly extraordinary, as expected of his reputation!"

"But you're too petty, a real man. I only hit the horse you were riding, but you want to kill me."

Song Wenjie's lips twitched, but his face remained calm and his heart did not skip a beat: "Sister Zhaolian, you flatter me. I only used one-tenth of my strength with that pebble just now, and it posed no threat to you at all."

Pooh!

Zhao Lian blushed: "Who's your sister!"

Song Wenjie said in a serious tone: "Of course you are my sister. You are my parents' goddaughter, so you are my god-sister."

Seeing Zhao Lian's angry and exasperated expression, Song Wenjie was inexplicably happy.

"Let's go!"

Song Wenjie looked puzzled: "Hey~ Where are we going?"

Zhao Lian turned around and raised an eyebrow: "Settle your horse down, then let's go see a good show."

Seeing Zhao Lian's serious expression, which didn't seem like she was joking, Song Wenjie, though puzzled, still obediently did as she was told.

He led his horse to a corner of the woods and tied it up.

There was a three-way intersection just outside the woods. Zhao Lian turned her head and said, "I'll lead the way, so don't lose me."

As he spoke, he channeled his internal energy and instantly appeared more than ten meters away.

It was surprising to see that Zhao Lian, despite her young age, possessed such remarkable lightness skills. Song Wenjie was greatly astonished.

Although it was just a short move, Song Wenjie could tell that Zhao Lian's lightness skill was definitely no less than his own, so he dared not let his guard down and quickly used his internal energy to follow her.

As it turned out, he was right. Along the way, Song Wenjie and Zhao Lian chased each other, one after the other.

Like a cat playing with a mouse, every time Song Wenjie was about to catch up with Zhao Lian, she would pull ahead a little more.

About half an hour later, Zhao Lian stopped in front of a tall mansion. Two lanterns hung in front of the gate, and in the flickering candlelight, Song Wenjie could clearly see the two large characters "Chen Mansion" written on the gate.

"Where am I?" Song Wenjie asked, puzzled.

Zhao Lian didn't answer him. She looked around and then leaped onto the roof.

Without the slightest hesitation, Song Wenjie quickly followed.

The house has a tiled roof, so if you make even the slightest noise, the people inside will notice.

Zhao Lian dared not be careless. She held her breath and focused her mind, then skillfully made her way to one of the spots and squatted down.

It's early August now. There's no moon at night, and it's pitch black. The two of them are highly skilled and have excellent vision.

Just as Song Wenjie was about to ask, Zhao Lian looked mysterious, put her hand on her index finger, made a shushing gesture, and then pointed into the room.

Light shone from the house below, streaming through the cracks in the roof tiles. Song Wenjie immediately realized what was happening and carefully moved a tile aside.
