Chapter 260: Chapter 249: The Supernatural Plane 4

The shopkeeper looked at the four of them and thought to himself that they must be children from a wealthy family, spoiled, disobedient, and had run away from home.

He hadn’t expected that this seemingly stable young master would also have such a childish side. Indeed, appearances could be deceiving.

"Since these items come from a legitimate source, our pawnshop can accept them. The quality and craftsmanship of these items are good. I can offer you three thousand silver yuan. What’d you think?" The shopkeeper, having made his calculations, gave them his price.

Yan Mo frowned slightly and said, "Too little, fifty thousand."

"Thirty-three thousand." Responded the shopkeeper.

"Fifty thousand."

"Thirty-eight thousand."

"Fifty thousand."

Yan Mo adamantly stuck to the fifty-thousand price, not backing down.

"Sir, we are sincerely doing business here." The shopkeeper said, looking at him.

"Don’t take advantage of my ignorance. We don’t plan to reclaim these items once pawned, so fifty thousand isn’t too high, if you aren’t sincere, then we can go check out other places. I believe we can get a better deal elsewhere." Yan Mo stared intently at the other party, as if trying to see through him.

The shopkeeper was taken aback by Yan Mo’s firm gaze. After considering that he would still make a profit if the items weren’t reclaimed, he agreed to take the items for fifty thousand.

Afterward, the shopkeeper brought the pawn contract, Yan Mo glanced at the content and, finding no issues, signed it.

"Do you want silver coins or banknotes?" The shopkeeper asked them.

"Forty thousand in banknotes, ten thousand in silver coins." Yan Mo thought for a moment and responded.

"Alright." The shopkeeper went to get the money for them.

Yan Mo divided the money among the four of them, Xia Yue and the others. Each person carried a portion so that they would not have to worry about spending money in case one of them lost theirs.

After dividing the money, they left the pawnshop.

Upon leaving the pawnshop, Wen Ziyin asked Yan Mo, "Where do we go now?"

"To a winery or a teahouse, we can only gather information in such places. We need to find out if there’s any information about the Third Young Master of the Tian Family here in the Capital City. If not, we need to move on to the next city." Yan Mo replied.

"Alright, let’s go now." The others had no objections. After all, they didn’t have any information yet and had no other option.

They found a rather large teahouse, and instead of booking a private room, they found a corner in the lobby, ordered some dim sum and a pot of tea, and started eating slowly.

"The dim sum here is too sweet." Xia Yue took a bite of the cake and didn’t like it, so she started eating sunflower seeds and peanuts instead. She sipped her tea, covertly pulling out and munching on some snacks from her system bag.

After about an hour, just as Xia Yue was about to die of boredom, they finally heard something they were interested in.

"Did you hear? The Third Young Master of the Tian Family is threatening to kill himself again." A man at the next table said to his companions.

"Again? The Third Young Master of the Tian Family must be really in love. Qin Qi’s been dead for three years and he’s still brooding over her."

"I heard that every midnight at the old Pear Garden, a person sings on stage, claiming that it’s the ghost of Qin Qi longing to meet her lover. Since they can’t meet, the ghost lingers on."

"I heard too, my neighbor’s nephew’s brother’s cousin, who is quite brave, went there with others. He came back mad, now he’s dull and keeps muttering ’there are ghosts, there are ghosts,’ and sometimes he behaves like he’s singing a play, as if he’s been possessed."

Upon hearing the names Tian’s Third Young Master, Qin Qi, Pear Garden, Yan Mo and the others’ eyes lit up immediately. They finally got the clue they were looking for.
