After school, Ye Amy walked up to Ye Lily and smiled, "Today, Miss Yi invited me and Eldest Sister to her mansion. So I won't go back with you. Fifth Sister, you can go back first."

  Yi Peilan and Ye Amy were naturally close. They were invited but Ye Lily was ignored. It was a common thing. Hearing this, Ye Lily didn't have much reaction and just responded.

  These days, the Ye family treated Ye Lily very warmly. It was obvious that they must be planning something. Ye Lily was too lazy to care about them. Now the top priority was certainly not these trivial matters.

  On the carriage back, they had to pass through the busiest street in Ding Jing City. Gu Yu said, "It's the Osmanthus Workshop ahead. Miss, don't you like the shortbread there the most? I'll go buy some back."

  "Go." Ye Lily smiled.

  After Gu Yu got off the carriage, Jing Zhe lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside. When her eyes passed a certain place, she let out an "Oh". Ye Lily followed her gaze. Beside the Osmanthus Workshop where the carriage stopped was a pawnshop. At the moment, there were many people around it. It seemed they were arguing about something.

  And the clerk of the pawnshop seemed a little impatient. His voice was so loud that even Ye Lily could hear clearly, "I said ten taels of silver. Sell it or not! It's just a sword. Young master, don't make things difficult for us."

  "It seems that the deal with the shopkeeper didn't go through." Jing Zhe said.

  Ye Lily could also tell. The pawnshop business would naturally push the price down. And obviously, for the person who came to pawn the item, this was an unacceptable price. But he was unwilling to leave. That's why they were in this stalemate.

  "There's nothing much to see." Seeing Ye Lily look away, Jing Zhe put the carriage curtain down again. A moment later, Gu Yu came back holding two big paper packages. Jing Zhe pulled the curtain to let her in. The moment she pulled the curtain, Ye Lily's gaze fell outside the carriage. She saw the person who was arguing with the pawnshop clerk earlier turned and walked out of the crowd, still holding a sword in his hand. Apparently, he still couldn't make the deal and looked a little frustrated.

  After Gu Yu got on the carriage and was about to close the carriage curtain, she was stopped by Ye Lily. Ye Lily stared closely at the person holding the sword. It was a young man. He looked ordinary and his appearance was plain. Seeing their own miss staring closely at this strange man, Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were both a little confused.

  Ye Lily frowned. Why did this person look so familiar?

  The young man shook his head, sighed, took a deep look at the sword in his arms, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the pawnshop again. It seemed that he finally decided to make the deal that he wasn't very satisfied with.

  "Gu Yu!" The moment he turned around, Ye Lily suddenly shouted, "Go down. Stop him. Say that I want his sword!"

  "Miss..." Jing Zhe and Gu Yu looked at her in surprise. They really didn't know why Ye Lily did this?

  "Quick!" Ye Lily said coldly.

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  Seeing her serious expression, Gu Yu didn't dare to ask more and immediately jumped off the carriage and walked towards the young man in plain clothes.

  The young man in plain clothes just took a step when he heard someone behind him speak, "Young master, please wait."

  He turned around and saw a maid-like woman smiling at him and saying, "Is the young master going to the pawnshop to pawn the sword in your hand?"

  The young man was stunned. Then he didn't hide it and said, "Yes."

  The woman continued, "It just so happens that my miss wants the sword in your hand. Does the young master have the intention to make this deal?"

  The young man looked at the other person. Seeing that the woman didn't seem to be lying, he still shook his head and said, "My sword is not beautifully styled. It's better in practical use. If your miss wants it, it's better to have one made at the weapons shop." He was also surprised. Ordinary girls wouldn't be interested in these swords. They were just looking for fun. Unfortunately, his sword was too sharp. If it accidentally hurt oneself, it would be bad.

  Gu Yu's expression softened slightly. She also praised in her heart. This person clearly needed silver urgently. But he was still thinking about the other party. It seemed that he was also an upright person. Before, Ye Lily strangely wanted to buy this person's sword. She was a little worried. But now, at least the other party wasn't a bad person.

  Thinking of this, Gu Yu's expression became even softer. She said, "My miss sincerely wants to make this deal with the young master. The young master might as well step aside and talk."

  The other party probably didn't expect Gu Yu to be so stubborn. He looked at the pawnshop and nodded helplessly, "Alright."

  When they reached a deserted alley nearby, they saw a carriage parked in the alley. Gu Yu went to the carriage and said softly, "Miss, he's here."

  The young man walked to the carriage and hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he cupped his fists and said, "This young lady, this sword of mine is really not suitable for women. It's too heavy and too sharp. It's easy to hurt oneself. So..."

  "What's your name?" Before he finished speaking, the voice of a woman came from the carriage. This voice sounded like it belonged to someone not very old. But there was a indescribable flavor. It was as if it was from someone who had experienced ups and downs in a high position. For a moment, it was hard to tell the age of the person inside.

  "I'm Mo Qing." After hesitating for a moment, the young man cupped his fists.

  After this sentence, there was no response for a long time. Just when the young man named Mo Qing and Gu Yu were both a little puzzled, the woman's voice came from inside again, "I'm not interested in your sword. Broken iron is meaningless to me."

  Hearing this, a touch of anger appeared on Mo Qing's face. He said, "Is the young lady teasing Mo Qing? Although this sword is not of good appearance, it was forged by a famous swordsmith and has accompanied me for many years. If the young lady called me here just to insult me, I won't stay."

  After saying this, he turned to leave. But as soon as he lifted his foot, he heard a sigh from the carriage. The sigh was but seemed to contain a strange emotion that made people's hearts tighten for no reason.

  "Mo Qing, you are in need of silver, right?" The person in the carriage said.

  Mo Qing was stunned. Somehow, when the other party called his name, a strange feeling rose in his heart. That feeling seemed very familiar but also a little strange. But the moment he heard the other party speak, his footsteps involuntarily stopped. It was as if he couldn't refuse every word the other party said.

  "Your sword is really nothing to me. But, your swordsmanship is worth hundreds or even thousands of gold."

  Mo Qing was stunned and shook his head, "The young lady is overpraising. I'm just an ordinary person." But in his heart, he was surprised. How did this person know that he was excellent in swordsmanship.

  "A hero is trapped by a penny. Even the precious sword that has accompanied you for many years has to be sold. Such a day is really a waste of your swordsmanship." Suddenly, the carriage curtain was lifted and a purple-robed girl came out from inside.

  Her appearance was young and pretty. But there was a rare noble air and dignity between her eyebrows.

  "Mo Qing, are you willing to sell your excellent martial arts skills to the Ye family, a military family?"

  She asked with a smile. But there was a faint joy of meeting an old friend in her eyes.

  The former guard commander Mo Qing of the previous life. It's really... Long time no see.
