ntil the faint crowing of roosters reached their ears. Mo Yun Jing patted An Xue Tang's back, "Tangtang, it's time to rest."An Xuetang now knew pretty much everything she needed to know. She lay in Mo...Han Yun's voice sent shivers down their spines. At this moment, the shopkeeper was truly sweating cold sweat, trembling violently all over.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he truly doesn't know.

I have no idea who the man who brought me this jade pendant was. All I remember is that he wore a straw hat when he came, and perhaps it was the hat that obscured his face, so that's all I can recall.

But think about it, that man's build was rather ordinary, almost indistinguishable from most commoners you'd see on the street.

To differentiate him, the only thing was that the man's clothes were rather poor. They were the cheapest rough cloth imaginable, and there were many patches on them.

Besides that, he really couldn't tell what other features the man had.

Faced with the young master's intimidation, the shopkeeper could only kowtow repeatedly, "Young master... Young master, I really don't know. That person... that person wore a straw hat to cover his face and coarse, worn-out clothes. This is nothing special on the street."

"The little one… I didn't really pay much attention to him. At the time, all I could think about was the jade pendant he brought over – its quality was excellent! I just wanted to get my hands on it as soon as possible. How could I possibly notice so many other things about him"

"But Master, you... you must believe me! This jade pendant is truly what that person gave to me. It wasn't stolen by me. I spend my days sitting in the pawnshop. How could I have had the opportunity to steal it Please, Master, see things from my point of view!"

Han Yun's pair of deep eyes were fixed on the shopkeeper, without saying a word. It seemed as if she was trying to determine whether he was lying.

And the shopkeeper, being stared at like that, couldn't take it anymore. He was trembling all over, and after a while, everyone else in the room began to smell something strange.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the shop owner who was kneeling on the ground had been so frightened that he'd wet himself. A pungent smell quickly filled the room.

But Han Yun remained impassive, staring at him with unconcerned indifference.

The shopkeeper was now in tears, his body trembling more and more violently. At this moment, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "Wait... I remember! That man... that man had a hideous scar on the back of his right hand, just like it had been burned by a cannon."

Han Yun's eyes darkened, and she continued to stare at him, "And"

Now the shopkeeper is really racking his brains, trying to think of anywhere else that could be supplemented.

The original text is from T&A Novels.

He wailed and kowtowed repeatedly to Han Yun, "There's nothing left, there really is nothing. This lowly one can't think of anywhere else to supplement. Sir, please enlighten me!"

"That man stood for a little while at the small pawn shop, and after the boy gave him the silver, he turned and ran in a hurry. The boy truly doesn't know who he is or where he came from, sir. The boy truly doesn't know."

"Please, sir, spare me! I truly know nothing about this. This jade pendant… if you want it back, I'll take the blame. Just please, sir, let me go. I swear, I know nothing!"

Perhaps he had seen too much bloodshed and cruelty before, so right now, staring at Han Yun and his companions, the innkeeper almost didn't care about anything else.

He didn't even think about bidding a high price for the jade pendant. Right now, he just wanted to save his life. Money didn't matter, the jade pendant didn't matter, nothing mattered but keeping his life.

All I want now is to stay alive, so I can be with my wife and children again.

At this moment, Han Yun and the Qingyun Pavilion disciple standing beside him exchanged glances. After confirming that they couldn't get any more information from the shopkeeper, he suddenly stood up.

"!!"

The shopkeeper, however, thought he had reached his limit and was about to attack him. He started crying even more frantically and loudly.

"

With a thud, he hit the floor, “Young Master… Young Master, spare my life!”

"

We know too little right now. He was dressed in extremely ordinary rough linen and wore a straw hat that covered his face.

On the street, there are just too many people dressed like this. Most of the villagers who come into town are dressed like this, so they don't know how to find them like this.

The vast sea of people, finding someone specific in it is such a difficult task.

Han Yun kept walking, not even he knew what he was doing it for, but he carefully looked at almost every store along the way.

They had already asked each shop individually, but everyone in the shops simply said that too many people came into their stores every day, especially those dressed like that. They couldn't possibly remember everyone.

Besides, it has been five days since that person pawned the jade pendant. In these five days, even if people had some impression of that person at the time, they would have forgotten about him by now.

Walking along, Han Yun suddenly saw an alley on his left. A merchant or two were beginning to lay down coarse cloth mats on the ground inside. He stopped in his tracks.

His gaze was fixed on the alley, flickering with an intensity that resembled a cold, bottomless pool. His eyes seemed to churn with countless emotions, complex and subtle, impossible to fully grasp.

Those behind him, from Qingyun Pavilion and elsewhere, exchanged glances, none quite understanding. It was just a narrow alleyway visible from end to end; what could possibly be amiss

And Han Yun stood there for a moment, then suddenly raised his foot and walked into that narrow alley.

Behind the Qingyun Pavilion, several of its subordinates looked at each other in confusion, their eyebrows raised. What was their pavilion master up to this time

But at that time, no one asked any questions, they just followed silently behind.

This alleyway is indeed small; if two people walk towards each other, they can only pass by sideways. But even in such a tiny alleyway, some people have set up stalls to sell things.

At that moment, as he passed a stall selling millet, Han Yun narrowed his eyes slightly for some reason unknown, and suddenly crouched down. Wu turned to Mo Jun Yi and the tiger at his feet. "Thankfully, Da Zi and the others arrived in time. Otherwise, once I fell, His Highness would have likely been taken away by them.""What" Before Mo J...
