The attendant 'thudded' onto the ground, kneeling and saying to Fen Jue, "That mechanical bird is broken. It was only after it was sent out that the artisans told me."
"What happened?" All these mechanical birds were personally crafted by him; if there were any broken, they would have been cleared out long ago.

Not only did she break the mechanical bird, but she also messed up the Scorpion Stone Machine that you had just finished assembling. The artisans are fixing it now."
"Nan Xu... It seems she still has too much free time," mused Fen Jue, looking at the mechanical bird in the sky, "but her being able to send a broken mechanical bird into the sky..."
He stopped mid-sentence because he saw someone sitting on the mechanical bird.
Sally, feeling something, looked down and met his gaze.
Sally smiled and waved, "Fen, see you—"
