Naturally, Qian had left in a great hurry. Ye Chen had not been by his side when he departed, and the two treasures had merely been found by Ye Chen at Qian's original temporary base. Saying they had been deliberately left for you made some sense, but it was still only a guess. You understood all this perfectly well.
You did not dwell too much on it, because Ye Chen had been right about one thing: since the items had been left behind, they were yours. Yet when your Clone Projection took the items handed over to it and examined them, it fell into deep thought...
