Destiny is ashes

Chapter 151 Luminous Mirror (Monthly Ticket 1000 plus more)

"Oh?"

Manager Li, who had a small moustache, lowered his head. He slightly opened his smiling eyes and showed a thoughtful look: "Master Xuan, what are you doing..."

"I just don't have silver, not money! I have a lot of good things on me."

An Jing opened his eyes. His performance was very vivid. He really was a young man who was not very worldly-wise, had a good personality, but was a bit of a dandy. "Pawn it for some money. I'll go back to Chen Li in a few days and get the money to redeem it!"

Having said that, An Jing took out the 'treasure mirror' from his bosom and showed it to Manager Li, saying: "I will definitely need your money. I, Jing Xuan, never owe money to anyone else!"

"Ju, it's actually such a treasure!"

Manager Li only took a glance and was immediately attracted by the magic mirror in An Jing's hand.

The mirror surface is covered with a layer of brown wood, so the quality of the mirror cannot be seen, but this is not the point at all - the twelve crystal clear light blue gems surrounding the frame are so dazzling that they are obviously not ordinary and reveal a very noble atmosphere.

——Wow! This kind of thing, even if it is just one gem, is enough to eat dozens of meals!
The well-informed Steward Li was almost shocked and gasped. He shook his head to calm himself down. After finally calming down, he slowly said, "This is... your family heirloom, Young Master Xuan?"

After carefully considering his words, Manager Li said cautiously, "Even if it's a living death, the elders in the family who know about this will inevitably blame me, right?"

"Master Xuan, how about we forget it? You don't have to be polite to us. I will make the decision to waive this bill for you."

After all, he was from Kanming City, so Manager Li knew that because there was a major martial arts sect, the Mingjing Sect, around Jiankong Mountain, all the surrounding tribes regarded the mirror as sacred, and every household worshipped a "Mingjing".

The wealthy families would even make precious mirrors for their family members as a gift of blessing...The precious mirror that Jingxuan took out was of such high quality that it could be called a family heirloom.

In this way, it is obvious that the family behind Jingxuan is wealthy and he himself is most likely the heir of a large family!
At this moment, Manager Li recalled An Jing's past words and deeds, and suddenly he realized: Yes, if it wasn't some big family in Jiankong Mountain, how could they train such a young warrior?
Although Jing Xuan behaves a bit like a dandy, it is more because he has never been poor that he spends money like water. If we really talk about his personality, it can be said that he has a good upbringing...

All his thoughts came to his mind in an instant. Manager Li knew that even if the big boss came, he would definitely forgive Jingxuan's order and then try to establish a good relationship with the Chenli family behind Jingxuan.

But obviously, the young man in front of him couldn't listen any more: "I said yes, it means yes, take me to the pawn shop!"

"understood."

Manager Li was helpless at this moment. He gave the waiter a look and then made up his mind: "Then I will take you to a familiar and reliable pawnshop... Don't worry, this is also a time-honored brand and absolutely reliable."

Lizhen Pawn Shop.

The shopkeeper, who was feeling a little cool, was originally lying in a rocking chair next to the sundeck, sipping tea and reading a book. Suddenly, a waiter came in and interrupted his pleasant afternoon rest.

The shopkeeper wanted to get angry at first, but after hearing a few words from the waiter, his expression changed slightly and he immediately walked out of the inner room.

"Manager Li! Why are you here? And this little brother... is really handsome."

The shopkeeper was a man of the times, so he was naturally familiar with Manager Li. He could tell at a glance that An Jing, who was standing beside him, had an extraordinary temperament, so he asked in a friendly manner, "What's the emergency?"

"I'm short of money."

An Jing did not wait for Manager Li to speak, and said, "I heard from Manager Li that Lizhen Pawnshop has a good reputation and is the most reliable, so I decided to come here to ask you to help me see how much I can pawn my precious mirror for."

As he said this, he handed over the precious mirror in the box in his hand and placed it on the table. "This is a little brother from Chenli... You can do whatever you want, shopkeeper."

Manager Li had a helpless look on his face. He had planned to exchange a few pleasantries with the shopkeeper, and then tactfully express his intentions, and by the way, hint at the possible major forces behind "Jingxuan" so as to do business... Who knew that An Jing would be so straightforward and direct, and he was indeed an outsider.

"So you are Jian Kongshan's brother. Since it was Manager Li who brought you here, you must be an honored guest."

But the shopkeeper had met thousands of people and was very experienced. In just a few words, he took a quick glance and was able to see An Jing's general situation.

—He is wearing a black cape and a white shirt, and he speaks fluently. He is a martial artist but he lives a life of luxury... He is indeed from a wealthy family, and it cannot be faked.

With a hearty laugh and a greeting to An Jing, the shopkeeper signaled the clerk beside him to bring warm water and gloves. After washing his hands, he put on silk gloves and special glasses and opened the box.

Before he even opened the cover of the mirror, he was stunned by the row of gems on the frame. He forgot to inhale the cool air and opened his eyes in disbelief, "Twelve glass blues? Such a cut, such a polish... treasure, such a treasure!"

Although he had handled similar treasures in the past, he never got tired of looking at treasures like this one, especially this mirror, whose gems were for some reason almost identical, like twelve twin brothers, which added immense value to it.

The shopkeeper exhaled deeply, calmed down and said, "It's so rare. Twelve luminous glass blue gems of almost the same size. This gem alone is worth forty taels!"

"And the price for a set of twelve is..."

"Night light?"

Manager Li also showed a shocked expression, after all, he was not a professional. The shopkeeper also signaled the clerk beside him to close the doors and windows and turn off the lights. Suddenly, the twelve sapphires released a faint light, enough to illuminate people's faces.

The shopkeeper slowly opened the mirror cover with anticipation, and suddenly a perfect mirror without any scratches or distortion appeared in front of the three people.

The light of the cyan luminous gemstone is like water waves, making it seem as if a river of light is flowing in the dim room.

"Perfect. A rare treasure!"

After taking a look, he immediately covered the mirror and put it back into the box. The shopkeeper didn't want to say anything more, and he couldn't say anything himself.

Something like this could go wrong if you looked at it for too long. If something went wrong with this flawless mirror, even if he offered himself as compensation, it would not be enough to pay for it. Not only that, he would also bring enmity to a great Chenli clan and his pawnshop for no reason!
As for the origin of 'Jingxuan', he had absolutely no doubts in his mind.

Not to mention that Manager Li is an old acquaintance and the clients he brought over must be reliable, and An Jing himself is flawless - even if there is something wrong, the fact that he can produce this precious mirror is enough to show the financial strength of the forces behind him.

——The only thing I’m afraid of is that this kid stole the magic mirror from home to play with...but judging from his words and actions, he’s just a little arrogant and can’t be considered a naughty and dissolute person.

"This little brother..."

After thinking everything through, the shopkeeper bowed to An Jing, and said with a hint of respect: "Your mirror is too precious, I'm sure you'll have to redeem it in the future... If you need help in an emergency, it probably won't cost much silver. Do you think three hundred taels will be enough?"

"Although the value is far from enough, it will save you from paying too much interest and having to spend more money when you redeem it."

"I'll make the decision. I'll give you the lowest ransom rate, and you can sign a blood contract as proof!"
