“Sir, a customer wants to see you. She… she wants to talk about a big business deal with you,” Hong Ling said.

“Heh.” Yu Shu waved her hand. “Do I look like I’m short of money? Chase her out. Want to see me? That’s not gonna happen.”

“But Sir, that business deal is not ordinary…”

“I said I won’t do business with her. The Exiled Immortal Pawnshop won’t tolerate arrogant people.” Yu Shu reached out and grabbed a piece of pastry in front of him.

Hong Ling was a little troubled, but there was nothing she could do. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the purple-clothed youth, who had been remaining silent, ask, “What is the business deal about?”

!!

Hong Ling was put on the spot. She looked at Yu Shu, waiting for his instruction. She knew that the other two people had a good relationship with Yu Shu, but after all, all the information the shop was selling had to be kept confidential. Yu Shu looked at her and said, “These two are both my friends, and they are the managers of my Exiled Immortal Pawnshop too. Their words are my words. In the future, when I’m not around, they will be in charge.”

Hearing that, Hong Ling was relieved and said with a smile, “She’s here to sell information about the case of the Chen sisters in Yuzhou three years ago.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Yang shouted in surprise, “It’s actually related to the Chen family. It’s been three years. This is really a big business deal.”

“That’s right.” Xie Jingxing also said, “The Chen family has a lot of power in Yuzhou. If we accept this deal, other than money, there will be other benefits too.”

Yu Shu scratched his head and said, “Since you all say so, I’ll go and take a look. Is this customer pretty?”

“She is pretty and looks like a well-educated person.”

Yu Shu leaped up from his seat and adjusted his robe. He cupped his hands at Xie Jingxing and said with a smile, “Excuse me for a moment.” After saying that, he turned to Hong Ling and said anxiously, “Where is she? Hong Ling, why didn’t you tell me that earlier…”

After the two of them left, Gao Yang sighed and said to Xie Jingxing with a look of disappointment, “I don’t think he’s gonna be much of a help in the capital. Let him go back.”

“He can at least be a target,” Xie Jingxing said casually.

Shen Miao sat in the tearoom, looking at the tea leaves floating in the teacup.

Footsteps came from the door. Then the gauze curtain was lifted and Hong Ling walked in.

Shen Miao looked up.

The person who walked in after Hong Ling was a young man about the age of 17 or 18. He looked very naive and was wearing a lake-green robe with deer-like patterns. People said that clothes could exhibit one’s personality. This young man’s personality was probably cheerful, which seemed to match his age. However, Shen Miao was deep in thought about him. To be able to take care of the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop well and be an All Knowing Scholar, he was really not to be underestimated. The naivety he put on was probably just a disguise.

“I’m Ji Yushu.” He sat down opposite Shen Miao and smiled at her with his hand cupped.

“Shopkeeper Ji.”

“Miss Shen, what’s your age?” He asked a question that was completely unrelated.

Shen Miao was stunned for a moment before answering, “Fourteen.”

“Oh, that’s right.” He rubbed his hands, his eyes filled with passion. “I wonder if you’re married. Do you have any siblings at home?”
