Chu Muhua took in everything with great interest. Young ladies from other families would all celebrate when hearing that they would be having new clothes, but Miss Gu’s face was all but wrinkled accompanied by a helpless expression. It was all so entertaining. He really wanted to take her home and let her be his younger sister. Recalling the little girl’s miserable childhood, Young Master Chu couldn’t help feeling sorry for her.

　　When they arrived at a fur shop, Gu Xiao was worried that his granddaughter would not be able to withstand the cold winter in the mountains, so he ordered her two thick woolen clothes and a matching cloak. He spent hundreds of taels of silver in one fell swoop, which made Gu Ye’s heart hurt.

　　Gu Ye fled as if leaving the fur shop, and when she looked up, she saw the characters “Yinzhen Pavilion” painted on iron and silver hooks.

　　Who designed this plaque with such unrestrained penmanship? It is said that handwriting embodies the person. That person must have a personality!

　　Yinzhen Pavilion was a tall building with three floors, each floor covering hundreds of square meters. The first floor was for some more common items, the second floor was for rare items, and the third floor was for collections of exotic treasures from the mainland.

　　Gu Ye’s purpose was to find the shopkeeper of Yinzhen Pavilion and discuss glass products. Naturally, the fewer people around her, the better. She smiled and suggested, “Young masters, Grandpa, Brother, let’s go shopping separately and gather at the rest place on the first floor after shopping. What do you think?”

　　Coincidentally, Jun Qicheng and Chu Muhua also wanted to take a stroll inside, but Gu Xiao was distracted by the weapons counter the moment he stepped a foot inside. As for Gu Ming, it was the first time he entered such a luxurious shop, and he was a little apprehensive, expressing that he wanted to follow his sister so that she would not get lost.

　　Gu Ye went straight to the counter where Ding Qimei said there was an array of glass teacups, but found that it was empty.

　　Huh? What about the glass tea set? Isn’t it said that the treasure of the town store is not for sale?

　　Gu Ye felt somewhat lost.

　　Yin Ba has been wandering around the Yinzhen Pavilion for several days, feeling quite anxious deep inside: The glass items have been advertised for several days. Why hasn’t Miss Gu still “taken the bait”… Cough cough, come to visit?!

　　In order to let the little girl know about it as soon as possible, he even inquired about the Jun family’s relations in Yan City. All the means to spread news into the Jun Residence, he has arranged them properly. However, it has been three days. Why hasn’t there been any movement?

　　How about…going to the Jun Residence to have a look around tonight?

　　Wait a minute… Isn’t that shy little guy Miss Gu’s elder brother? The little girl dressed up beside him looks quite familiar.

　　Yin Ba was left in Qingshan Village by their master, and he personally protected Miss for a period of time, so he soon identified Gu Ye.

　　No wonder it was said that just like how Buddha is adorned in gold, clothing also makes the man! Miss Gu looked quite pretty when she dressed up, especially those big bright eyes. More than anything else, it added brilliance to her little face. I have to say, the Hall Master is quite discerning!

　　Yin Ba finally received his target. He was in a good mood, and greeted them with a smile on his face: “Young Master, what kind of goods are you looking for? Do you need my help to recommend something to you?”

　　On this rare occasion, Yin Ba changed his black sturdy suit and put on a more tawdry purple brocade robe. A gold crown was fastened on his head while a jade belt was wrapped around his waist. There was also a turquoise ornamental ring on his thumb, making him resemble a nouveau riche. Gu Ming was unaccustomed to his enthusiasm, so he hesitated and said, “I’m accompanying my sister to take a look around.”

　　Gu Ye was looking for someone to inquire about the glass, so she asked, “Are you the shopkeeper of this shop?”

　　”Exactly… Young Miss, is there anything I can do for you?” Yin Ba secretly gave the real shopkeeper of Yinzhen Pavilion a wink, preventing him from approaching to greet him.

　　The Yinzhen Pavilion was a property of the Hidden Soul Hall, spread across the three major powers and the sixteen major vassal states. It was originally for the convenience of collecting information, but it gradually developed and became the most profitable industry in the Hidden Soul Hall. Regardless of time and space, there has always been a big market for luxury goods.

　　As one of the four great shadow guards, Yin Ba was the right arm of the Hidden Soul Hall. When he came to the Yinzhen Pavilion in Yan City three days ago, the shopkeeper was caught off guard. He didn’t know what big event was about to happen that needed even the youngest of the four shadow guards to personally take action. For this reason, he had been on edge for a long time.

　　The shopkeeper never expected that Shadow Guard-daren[1], who had been hanging around in the store for three days, finally made a move today, and his target was two unremarkable young kids. In the Jianghu[2], the more inconspicuous the person, the higher the risk. He was reminded of the pair of dwarf experts on the list of Jianghu killers. Could it be… the shopkeeper immediately became nervous. He mobilized all the light and shadow guards in Yinzhen Pavilion, cheered himself up and waited for the battle.
