Shen Miao did not comment. Shen Qiu opened the paper bag, picked up a big pastry, and threw it into his mouth. He chewed a few times and said, “The snacks in the capital are delicious. We don’t have such exquisite things in the Northwest Desert.”

Shen Miao watched him eat with a sweet smile on her face. A moment later, she asked softly, “Brother, what do you think of loyalty?”

“Loyalty?” Shen Qiu said without looking up, “Of course it’s to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country.” He then asked Shen Miao, “Sister, why do you ask?”

“Nothing.” Shen Miao shook her head and said softly, “If you like the pastries, I’ll bring you more next time.” In the depths of her eyes, there was a moment of murderous look.

The first snow arrived, and it snowed all night in the capital. When the sun shone, the ice under the eaves that were frozen at night glinted brightly, looking very beautiful. On the street, there were naughty children throwing snowballs at each other. The closer it was to the end of the year, the livelier the capital became. It was as if all the hard work in the year had come to fruition.

On the outer eaves of the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop, there was a row of red lanterns hanging neatly, but they were not ordinary red lanterns. The lanterns were made of an unknown material with golden yarn mixed in it. Under the sunlight, they actually glittered brightly. The pendant hanging under the lantern was also giving off glints. There were naturally guards outside. Otherwise, in no time, the lanterns would’ve been stolen.

The shop assistant welcomed the customers with a smile. There were very few people who came to the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop to do business, and the shop assistants were usually lazy. However, today, they were unusually energetic, as if they were certain that a particular customer was coming.

At the end of the long corridor of the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop that opened up to another world, a woman in red smiled charmingly and personally brought the snacks in. She smiled and said, “Please try the snacks made by the chef first.” With that, she left quietly.

There were three people sitting in the tearoom. One of them was wearing a lake-green robe and had a friendly smile. The two people opposite him were about 20 years old and looked 70 to 80% similar. Clearly, they were a pair of brothers. The two of them had thick eyebrows and big eyes. The swords at their waists gave them a martial arts aura.

At this moment, the older of the two brothers said, “Shopkeeper Ji, why has the person who wants to sell us the information shown up yet?”

Ji Yushu smiled and said, “Brother Chen, don’t be anxious. That day, I told her that we would meet here today, but I didn’t mention the time. Anyway, she will show up soon. I hope you can be patient.” After saying that, he cursed the two people opposite him in his mind. Who would come to do business at dawn? He still had a brain fog and couldn’t think properly. If it weren’t for the fact that the Chen family was something, he’d chase the two of them out.

“To be honest,” Chen Yueshan, the elder brother of the two, said, “When the two of us heard the news, we set out immediately and completed the journey that was supposed to take half a month in just a few days. On the way, a few horses died of exhaustion. Shopkeeper Ji, you also know that we’ve spent a lot of effort to find clues related to the whereabouts of my sister over the past three years, but there’s nothing at all. Now that we finally have some clues, we’re naturally a little anxious. I hope you won’t mind our being impetuous.” Chen Yueshan was quite tongued. He probably saw that Ji Yushu was a little unhappy that they came too early, so he explained and apologized.
