The next day, soft sunlight poured into the house through the window.

Last night, Jingtian was so excited that he couldn't sleep with ten thousand taels of silver in his hand. He spent the whole night planning his future life.

At this moment, he seemed to feel that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Ten thousand taels was a lot of money in their time. It was a huge fortune. They probably couldn't earn that much even if they didn't eat or drink and worked in Yong'an for a hundred years.

At dawn, Maomao got up sleepily and prepared to prepare meals for everyone.

However, when he saw Jingtian, he was surprised to find that Jingtian was still sitting on the chair, holding the crumpled banknote tightly.

"Boss, don't hold it anymore. The banknote is almost torn..." Maomao rubbed his eyes, sat on the edge of the bed and said to Jingtian who was not far away.

Jingtian rolled his eyes at Maomao in annoyance and said, "How can it be broken? It won't be broken. This is a ten thousand tael silver note! The value of this silver note is huge. Even if you pawn the whole person at Yong'an, it won't make much difference."

After a brief pause, Jingtian looked at Maomao and said excitedly.

"Maomao, the boss will take you to Chang'an in a few days to let you experience the prosperity of Chang'an. There must be a lot of fun things, delicious food, and lively scenes there."

When Maomao heard this, his eyes lit up with excitement. He smiled happily and said, "Really? Thank you, boss!" Then, Maomao went to prepare breakfast happily with full anticipation.

After everyone had breakfast.

A figure appeared in Yong'an Pawnshop. Maomao, who was packing up, recognized the person at a glance. Maomao showed a respectful look on his face and said quickly, "Sir, why are you here?"

The visitor also knew Maomao and smiled calmly: "Well, where are the others? I am here to announce the new appointments of the castle lord."

"Oh, is that so? Please wait a moment, I'll call them out right away." Maomao quickly ran a few steps inside and shouted, "Everyone, come out quickly, the envoys from Tangjiabao are here."

Upon hearing this, Jingtian and his companions ran out immediately. Although Jingtian now had ten thousand taels of silver in his pocket, he was not stupid. He knew that this amount of money was nothing compared to Tangjiabao.

Jingtian, He Biping, and the shop master Ding Shiyan hurried out. Ding Shiyan was a benefactor to Jingtian. The two of them were both teachers and friends, and they taught Jingtian a lot.

When the envoy of Tangjiabao saw that everyone had arrived, he raised his chin slightly, looked solemn, and immediately began to announce the orders of the lord of the castle.

"The shopkeeper of Yong'an Pawnshop bid farewell to the hall master last night. Yong'an Pawnshop cannot be without a shopkeeper, so the castle master specially appointed Jingtian to be the new shopkeeper of Yong'an Pawnshop."

Jingtian, Maomao, He Biping and the others were slightly stunned after hearing this. Jingtian even felt like pie was falling from the sky.

"Thank you, thank you... Thank you, Lord of the Castle, thank you, sir!" After Jingtian received the appointment letter, he couldn't stop smiling. He never expected that the Lord of Tangjia Castle would actually let him be the manager of Yong'an.

Ding Shiyan on the side was also sincerely happy for Jingtian. Although Jingtian was smooth and sometimes out of tune, he was very serious about learning.

Although he is only in his early twenties, his eye for identifying treasures is not much worse than that of his old master.

"Maomao, why don't you greet the adults quickly, Biping, and serve the tea..." Jingtian hurriedly began to greet the envoy from Tangjiabao, his tone full of enthusiasm.

Jingtian had already regarded the jade pendant as a lucky charm. He first exchanged it for ten thousand taels of silver notes, and then he became the shopkeeper of Yong'an Pawnshop. This had been his dream since he was a child.

But he felt like he had reached the top and didn't know what to do, as if there was nothing to pursue in life...

After sending away the envoy from Tangjiabao, Jingtian couldn't control his inner joy and showed off to Maomao and the others.

"Look, the owner of Tangjiabao has a good eye for talent. We are now the shopkeeper of Yongan Pawnshop. Our Yongan Pawnshop will definitely get better and better in the future!"

"Okay, I'll treat you at noon today. I'll change the banknotes into some smaller ones and then some small change. You guys wait for my feast."

After Jingtian finished speaking, he happily left Yong'an Pawnshop.

He held his chest tightly and looked around vigilantly, as if he was afraid that others didn't know that he had a huge sum of money.

As he walked, he looked back from time to time, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at his "baby" behind him...

After a safe journey of about ten minutes, Jingtian finally arrived at the door of the money house.

At this moment, beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. The tension in his heart eased a little. He breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously patted his thin little chest.

He stared at the door of the bank and smiled slightly. However, just as he was about to step in, an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart and he could not put his foot down.

Jingtian was suddenly shocked, and then he heard a serious voice coming from behind him.

"You can't sell the jade pendant!"

Jingtian was so scared that his whole body trembled, and he instinctively wanted to run forward, but his collar was grabbed by someone, and no matter how he struggled, he could not escape. He kicked his feet on the ground and waved his hands desperately, trying to break free from the restraints, but to no avail.

"Master, please let me go. What jade pendant is that? I don't know..."

The serious voice behind him came again: "Remember, the jade pendant must not be sold! The jade pendant concerns the life and death of the people in the world! It is extremely important!"

Jingtian was stunned by what the person behind him said. What did it have to do with the lives of the people? It was none of his business. His heart was filled with doubts and dissatisfaction.

"Hero, what are you talking about? What does the life and death of the people have to do with me?" Jingtian frowned, his face full of reluctance and confusion.

Seeing this, the person behind Jingtian picked him up and disappeared directly in front of the money house.

The next second, the two of them came to a remote alley.

"Master... hero... what are you going to do? I don't have any jade pendant..." Jingtian was completely frightened at this time. He suddenly came here for no apparent reason.

The person in front of me is still hiding his true intentions. Could it be that he is planning to steal my banknotes? ...

Of course this person could not be anyone else but Li Xiaoyao.

Jingtian looked at Li Xiaoyao in horror, his hands covering his chest, his legs involuntarily retreating tactically, as if someone was "plotting something bad" against him...

Li Xiaoyao saw Jingtian's expression and sighed: "Three hundred days later, there will be a catastrophe in the world. That jade pendant is extremely important! You must not sell it!"

Jingtian widened his eyes and looked at Li Xiaoyao with horror and confusion.

"Great calamity? What great calamity? I don't have any jade pendant. Besides, even if there is a great calamity, it shouldn't happen to me. I'm just an ordinary citizen, a small clerk in Yong'an. How can I be capable of handling these matters?"

Li Xiaoyao shook his head slightly: "You will be the savior of this entire world! Your mission is to save all the people in the world!"

Jingtian disagreed and curled his lips and said, "Savior? Save the people? Are you kidding? I can't even take care of myself, how can I have the time to care about the people."

Seeing Jingtian was so stubborn, Li Xiaoyao knew that it was useless to say more, so he quickly appeared in front of Jingtian.

The next second, Jingtian found himself unable to move at all. Then, Li Xiaoyao began to touch him all over. But not long after, Li Xiaoyao did not find the jade pendant, but only a silver note worth ten thousand taels.

He immediately exclaimed: "Where's the jade pendant?"

Jingtian said tremblingly: "Change...change money..."

(By the way, how did Li Xiaoyao come to the past? Does anyone know how to explain it to me?)
