Ji Yushu felt a little better, and his smile became more sincere. He smiled and said, “I’ve been keeping an eye on the clues for you for the past few years. Now that I have some clues, I’m just as happy as you are.”

“Actually, I don’t mind waiting for a bit longer here.” Second Young Master, Chen Yueha, was young, so he was more quick-tempered than his elder brother. “As long as the clues are true, I won’t mind even if I have to wait for a week. But if it’s fake… Don’t blame us for being rude for making a fool of our Chen family like this.”

Ji Yushu was displeased again upon hearing that. He did not care what the Chen brothers wanted to do elsewhere, but in his territory, they didn’t get to play the boss. His smile did not change, but his tone was a little cold. “My Exiled Immortal Pawnshop is only responsible for buying and selling information. As for whether or not the information is true or fake, there is no guarantee about it. If anyone seeks trouble here, I’ll make sure they pay a heavy price.”e.”

Chen Yueshan glared at his brother to signal him to shut up. He naturally knew that this seemingly friendly and harmless young man was not as simple as he looked.

Being glared at by his brother, Chen Yuehai knew that he had said something wrong and stopped talking.

After a while, approaching footsteps could be heard. Hong Ling opened the bead curtain and said with a smile, “Shopkeeper, the guest is here.”

The two Chen brothers subconsciously looked at the curtain. A girl in purple walked out from behind Hong Ling. This girl looked delicate and cute, and she looked to be about 13 or 14 years old. However, for some reason, her eyes were as calm as water, and she looked like she was much older than her actual age. For a moment, the Chen brothers were confused.

She lifted the curtain, walked over, and sat down on an unoccupied chair. She nodded at Ji Yushu. “Shopkeeper Ji.”

“This… Miss,” Chen Yueshan asked with difficulty,” Is she the person selling information? ”

After Hong Ling left, the Chen brothers, Shen Miao, and Ji Yushu were the ones left in the tearoom. Shen Miao said, “That’s right.”

Chen Yuehai’s attitude changed drastically and he said with a sneer. “Miss, how old were you three years ago? How could you have any clues? Are you playing with us?”

“There are many ways to get clues. Maybe I got the clues from someone else, or maybe I overheard someone talking about it and noted it down. In any case, we are doing business, and what’s important is the outcome. Does my age matter? Moreover, why would I go out of my way to play with a mere Chen family?”

Ji Yushu couldn’t help but laugh. When he saw Chen Yuehai’s ugly expression, he quickly said in all seriousness, “Miss Shen is right. What matters is the outcome. As for how she got the clues, it’s not important.”

“Is that so?” Chen Yuehai looked at Shen Miao and said indifferently, “Then I wonder how can Miss Shen guarantee that the clues you provide are not fake? It’s true that doing business is all about outcome, so if the clues are true, the two of us will naturally reward you handsomely. But if it’s not… Do you know the consequences?” At the end of his sentence, Chen Yuehai’s tone suddenly turned sinister.

People in the martial world all had a ferocious side to themselves. At that moment, the ferocity that erupted was enough to scare ordinary people. At least, it was more than enough to scare a little girl.

In silence, Shen Miao stared at him without blinking, not scared at all. Her calm look made Chen Yuehai appear like an unreasonable person.

Ji Yushu wanted to laugh, but he knew it was appropriate, so he could only hold it back. Chen Yueshan, who had been silent all this time, finally said, “Miss Shen, my brother is a little rash. I apologize on his behalf. We are here to buy clues sincerely. If Miss can provide true clues, we will definitely reward you with a considerable amount of money.”

“There’s no need for so much money.” Shen Miao said, “Just give me some. The Chen family has a lot of connections. I just want to use this chance to befriend you. If I need your help in the future, I hope the two of you won’t turn your backs on me.”

Facing the two men who were much older and more experienced than her, she did not lose her composure. She spoke with reason and logic, making her look like a woman who had seen the world. Chen Yueshan was impressed by her and cupped his hands in agreement.

“Now, tell us what you know,” Chen Yuehai couldn’t wait any longer and asked anxiously.

Shen Miao glanced at him and said, “Back then, the Chen sisters went missing in Yuzhou, Jiangnan. In fact, they were abducted. And the one who abducted them was none other than Prince Yu, the brother of the current emperor.”

As soon as she said that, the three people in the tearoom were so shocked that they couldn’t utter a word. In the secret room next to the tearoom, two people were also stunned. The young man in white opened his mouth and muttered, “Prince Yu?”

The young man in purple rubbed the jade cup in his hand and suddenly revealed a smile. He said casually, “Interesting.”
