Chapter 192: Bargaining (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

All Knowing Scholar was not a person, but an industry.

There were all kinds of people in the world, and All Knowing Scholar was the kind of people who knew the things that most people didn’t. They had connections covering every nook and corner of the world.

Ordinary people wouldn’t know who, where, or what All Knowing Scholar was, but that didn’t mean All Knowing Scholar didn’t exist. The Exiled Immortal Pawnshop in the capital was the All Knowing Scholar of Ming Qi.

The woman in red looked at Shen Miao with a serious expression, making Mo Qing and the others behind her feel a little puzzled. They had no clue what All Knowing Scholar was.

“Miss, you…” the woman in red asked tentatively.

“I’m here to make a deal.”

Hearing this, the woman’s expression changed slightly. Then, she smiled and said to Shen Miao, “Miss, the item on you must be expensive. In that case, please follow me to the back so that we can talk in detail.”

Mo Qing and the others were about to follow when they were stopped by the woman in red. “There’s no need for you to come along.”

“Miss…” Jingzhe was a little worried. If Shen Miao went in alone, she might encounter danger.

“Remain here.” Shen Miao said, “After making a deal, I’ll come back.”

After Shen Miao and the woman in red left, Mo Qing and the others stayed in the outer hall. One of the guard asked Mo QIng, “Brother Mo, what exactly is Miss doing here?” After all, he had been to the battlefield and killed people, so he naturally had some intuition about danger. The expression of the woman in red and the conversation between her and Shen Miao made him realize that this matter was not simple.

“I don’t know either.” Mo Qing smiled awkwardly and shook his head. He looked at the corridor and said, “Miss knows what she’s doing.”

The woman in red led Shen Miao through the corridor. The corridor was very long. At the end of the corridor was a square wooden pavilion with a total of six floors. It was covered in a thin veil, and the interior could not be seen clearly. However, it looked extremely exquisite. At least the pillars were made of ebony wood worth thousands of gold coins.

It was rumored that the head of the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop was extremely rich. Otherwise, not everyone could afford to buy such a large piece of land in the most prosperous area of the capital.

However, Shen Miao knew that the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop got rich not through the pawn business. The pawn business they were doing could barely be profitable.

The woman in red led her to the lowest floor of the pavilion and found a room at the bottom for her to sit down. It was a tea room. The mahogany table and chairs in the tea room were carved with landscape paintings. The carvings were lifelike. At a glance, one could tell that it was all very expensive.

“My name is Hong Ling.” The woman smiled. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes curled up into the shape of a half-moon. She asked, “Miss, how should I address you?”

“My surname is Shen,” Shen Miao said.

While Shen Miao was sizing up Hong Ling, Hong Ling was also sizing up Shen Miao. Hong Ling was shocked. At first, she thought that it was a young lady from a rich family who came to the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop to cause trouble. However, she didn’t expect Shen Miao to bring up “All Knowing Scholar”. She thought that Shen Miao was probably an insider, so she led her in. Hong Ling had been doing business in the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop for many years, and this was the first time she had met such a young client. She was not sure how much Shen Miao knew.
