h is not enough yet, but Yun Hao has already guessed that the energy behind Luo Yi is enormous, involving the so-called first swordsman in the world today, Luo Qingtian!"Jian Hongchen, out of the desi...Liu Yun Pawn Shop is a business of the Li family in Liu Yun City.
The Li family, based in Liuyun City, started their business as moneylenders. As a result, almost all of the Li family's dealings are shady, and they operate with extreme violence and ruthlessness.
Just like the gambling den owned by the Zhou family, the Li family's relationship with the City Lord's Mansion is also intricate and deep.
As it was still early, the streets of Liuyun City were quiet and deserted. The pawn shop's door had just opened.
Yun Hao arrived at the pawnshop door, just about to go in.
Suddenly.
A carriage from Bao Dan Lou stopped at the pawnshop's door.
...and so on.
Then, a veteran pawnbroker hurried forward, bowing and bending low with deference.
Welcome Master Xu from National Taiwan University!
The old manager said.
Then.
The carriage curtains were lifted.
Bao Dan Lou's Liu Yun City branch chief alchemist, Xu Yin, crawled out of the carriage and stepped on the pawn shop manager's back, using him as a ladder to get down.
Looking at this scene.
Yun Hao's eyes twinkled.
I unexpectedly met Xu Yin here.
Don't look at Xu Yin, yesterday he was in front of you, lowering his head and speaking softly.
Ke Xu could print money in Liúyún City, wherever he went, he was very influential. Even the city lord's mansion had to give him face.
Xu Yin, who got off the carriage, also spotted Yun Hao. His expression changed slightly before he quickly concealed it and proactively greeted Yun Hao.
"Cloud Young Master, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Xu Yindao said.
Because Yún Hào had previously stated that he would never allow their relationship to be exposed without his consent, Xǔ Yìn's current attitude was relatively calm.
Yun Hao smiled calmly and said, "I'm here to redeem something. Master Xu came to this pawn shop for what reason"
"Xu Yin said: 'Master Li and I have some acquaintance. He was obsessed with alchemy in the past, leaving behind some hidden ailments. Recently, Baodan Lou found a good recipe, so he came today to take a look.'"
Over there.
The pawn shop's old manager thought it was absurd.
The esteemed Master Xu Dan, would actually explain to Yun Hao the reason for his visit to the pawnshop today...
The old steward, in a respectful tone, said, "Master Xu, the master is waiting for you. Let's go in first."
Xu Yin let out a soft hum, then shot Yun Hao a look that went unnoticed by everyone else before striding into the pawnshop.
Then.
Yunhao also entered the pawn shop and stood at the pawn shop counter.
The cashier glanced at Yun Hao, and in a strange tone, said, "Isn't this Yun Hao from the Kuang Jian Martial Arts Hall What, are you here to pawn something"
Your Crazy Sword Martial Arts Academy, you don't have anything good left, do you Let me make this clear beforehand: pawnshops don't accept some useless junk.
The pawn shop employee looked down on Yun Hao, but he was too lazy to argue with him. His purpose today was simply to retrieve Ling Feiyu's jewelry and avoid unnecessary trouble.
"I have come to redeem the items my fiancee, Ling Feiyue, pawned three days ago."
Yun Hao said calmly.
A staff member's eyes flickered, then rummaged through a shelf for a moment before pulling out a list and slapping it on the counter. "Ling Feiyu's pawned jewelry is all listed here," he said. "She took 30,000 taels of silver from the pawnshop back then. If you want to redeem them, you'll have to pay 35,000 taels of silver in total."
In three days, he earned an extra five thousand taels.
The black market of Liu Yun Pawn Shop is even more rampant than Zhou's Gambling Den!
Yun Hao took the list and glanced at it.
"There isn't that much silver, scram!" the worker scoffed.
"Bang!"
Yun Hao directly slapped a silver note worth 35,000 taels onto the counter and said, "Immediately take out the goods, exactly as they are!"
It's just a paltry sum of silver.
He didn't care.
The most important thing is to get all of Ling Feiyu's jewelry back.
The staff member took the silver notes, examined them carefully, and seemed quite surprised. They didn't expect Yun Hao to actually have so many silver notes. Then they said, "Just wait here for a moment."
That's all.
Staff, immediately go and retrieve the jewelry.
A moment later.
Staff member, holding a wooden box, walked back to the counter and pushed it toward Yun Hao, urging him, "Here's everything. Take it and leave quickly!"
He said.
Someone snatched the list that had just been taken out from the counter.
But Yun Hao was quick-witted and swift.
His right hand shot out like lightning, grabbing the staff member's wrist directly.
The staff member immediately cried out in pain, "Ah!" and loosened their grip on the list in their hand.
"Yunhao, you..."
The staff member glared at Yun Hao with a ferocious expression.
Yun Hao let out a cold snort, his powerful aura revealing itself slightly.
The pawn shop worker suddenly felt a chill run through his entire body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. A wave of terror from the depths of his soul made him tremble uncontrollably; he couldn't even move.
Yún Hào released his grip on the hand that had been holding his wrist, taking the list in his hand and opening the wooden box again to compare it.
He frowned, his voice cold as he asked, "Where is the other hairpin"
This is it.
Another young man came over.
This person was dressed in fine clothes, their face cold. After walking over, they casually flicked their wrist, tossing a silver note worth five thousand taels onto Yun Hao's face.
“That hairpin is worth 1,500 taels of silver when pawned. Now I’ll give you 5,000 taels of silver for it, consider it bought!”
The man stared at Yun Hao, his expression contemptuous, his voice cold and menacing.
Yunhao recognized this person. He was Li Yang, the young master of the Li family.
Because the sworn enemy of the Swordstorm Martial Arts Academy, Miss Wang from the Fist King Martial Arts Academy, is betrothed to Li Yang, the Li family has naturally always been at odds with the Swordstorm Martial Arts Academy. Li Yang has even repeatedly bullied and humiliated Yun Hao.
"I won't sell it. Take out the hairpin, or else, there will be no end to this matter today!"
Yun Hao's attitude is very firm.
Even if it were five thousand taels, or fifty thousand taels, or even half a million taels of silver, he wouldn't exchange that hairpin!
This is no longer about money.
...but his fiancée, Ling Feiyu, is the only remaining source of affection he has for his mother!
Li Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold light shooting from between his eyelids. "Yun Hao, don't be shameless. I advise you to know when to stop, or else you'll have no good end!"
Yun Hao's face showed no fear whatsoever. He said, "Pledge shops have their own rules. Pawned items can be redeemed within the agreed-upon timeframe."
Li Yang sneered and said, “The pawnshop is our Li family’s. The rules of the pawnshop are naturally up to me. Yunhao, you better get out honestly. The pawnshop doesn't welcome you. If not, I don't mind having someone throw you out!”
"Yang Ge!"
Suddenly.
A crisp female voice sounded.
A young girl dressed in flamboyant attire, with a smile on her face, walked in.
She glanced at Yun Hao.
Contempt and disdain writ large on their face.
Li Yang immediately stepped forward, grabbed the woman's hand, and smiled: "Xin'er, how did you get here"
This woman's name is Wang Xin.
She is the young lady of Baquan Martial Arts Hall and also the younger sister of Wang Zhong, the young master of the Wang family who studies alchemy at Baodan Tower.
In Liúyún City, it is common knowledge that Wang Xīn and Lǐ Yáng are a couple!
Wang Xin snuggled into Li Yang's arms, smiling brightly. "Yang Ge," she said, "you said you had a present for me. Well, I happened to be free today, so I came right over to see what kind of surprise you have for me."
Li Yang laughed loudly and said, "This hairpin, I guarantee you'll love it, Xin'er!"
Saying that, she took out a delicate, long box from her bosom. She opened the box, and inside lay a hairpin.
The hairpin was slender and a deep blue in color. The design was relatively simple, but the most eye-catching feature was a similarly sapphire-blue gem embedded at one end.
Inside the gem, a single Chinese character for "rain" was carved.
On the side, Yun Hao's face instantly turned cold!
This hairpin is exactly the one that was missing!
The hairpin, named the Blue Jade Hairpin, was Ling Feiyu's most prized piece of jewelry. That's because the word "rain" engraved on the sapphire by her own mother was hidden within it.
Among the mementos Ling Feiyu's mother left her, there was only this hairpin with a message inscribed on it!
Yun Hao remembered that before, when he watched Ling Fei Yu carefully put on and take off the hairpin in front of the mirror, she was incredibly careful, afraid to damage it even a little!
Now.
Li Yang from the pawn shop is breaking the rules and won't let Yun Hao redeem the blue jade hairpin. Now, he's even going to give the blue jade hairpin to another woman right in front of him!
Xin'er, like it!
Li Yang laughed, completely ignoring Yun Hao.
Wang Xin smiled brightly and said, "This gemstone is so beautiful. Wearing it on my head would definitely look good. Yang Ge, you've really put a lot of thought into the things you give me."
"If Xin'er likes it, then I'll put it on for you right now."
Watching, Li Yang was about to insert the hairpin into Wang Xin's hair.
The next moment.
A chilling voice rang out.
This hairpin, besides Flying Rain, no one else deserves it!
When his words fell silent.
Yun Hao's body, in an instant, shot out like a sword unsheathed!is to be human, to break free from shackles and carve out a path!After he held fast to his true self, his perception instantly pierced through this layer of human power rooted in faith."Congratulation...
