His sixth sense told him that he must not let these people know that the cards they were talking about were made by his cousin.

Xie Huaian got nervous for a moment and accidentally made some noise.

Someone inside shouted, "Who's eavesdropping outside?"

Tie Shanhe quickly flashed out of the study and when he saw Jie Huaian, he immediately took Jie Huaian into the study.

Xie Huaian knew that he had been exposed and could not escape from the county government office, so he did not resist and allowed Tie Shanhe to take him into the study.

In addition to the county magistrate, there was another person in the study. This person exuded a noble aura, and one could tell at a glance that he was of extraordinary status.

"Who are you? Why are you eavesdropping outside?" Ming Zihui asked coldly.

Xie Huai'an was terrified. He knelt on the ground and said to Yan Hongxue and Ming Zihui, "My lords, I did not mean to eavesdrop."

"I was passing by the study and heard someone in the study mention my cousin, so I couldn't help but stop and eavesdrop on some information."

Ming Zihui raised his eyebrows. This guy was quite honest.

Tie Shanhe asked in surprise, "Are you Xie Yuwei's cousin?"

Xie Huai'an fell to the ground and answered sincerely, "Yes! Xie Yuwei and Xie Yuchen are my cousins. I know where they got the cards in their hands."

Yan Hongxue raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Where did it come from?"

Xie Huaian said, "It's the Qi Pawnshop in town. The owner of the Qi Pawnshop is a close friend of my uncle."

His tone seemed to be trying to curry favor with Yan Hongxue.

Yan Hongxue and Ming Zihui looked at each other. Could a strange pawnshop in Zhoushan Town really produce so many novel cards?

The two have always wanted to find out the origin of the Black Mamba Snake Card. After hearing what Tie Shanhe and Jie Huaian said today, they decided to go to Qi Pawnshop.

"Zihui, let's go visit this strange pawnshop!" Yan Hongxue stood up and said.

Ming Zihui and Tie Shanhe are very interested in these cards, and they plan to go to Qi Pawnshop to find out.

Xie Huaian breathed a sigh of relief only after watching them leave the county government office.

I hope the owner of Qi Pawnshop can help my cousin conceal the origin of the cards.

Xie Huaian quickly completed his work in the county government office. He said goodbye to his boss and ran to the town to look for Xie Yuwei.

My father had said before that this time they came to town, they were escorted by their cousins.

It's still early to return to the village, so they must still be in town.

Sure enough, he found Li Yuwei and her two siblings in Madam Li's grocery store.

He was a little nervous when he saw Jie Yuwei.

Xie Yuwei was surprised to meet her cousin here. Seeing the anxious look in his eyes, she asked with concern:

"Cousin, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Xie Huaian leaned over and whispered in Xie Yuwei's ear for a while.

Xie Yuwei understood that Tie Shanhe had indeed revealed the existence of her and her brother.

It seems that compared with the original owner's father and the county government, Tie Shanhe is more loyal to the county government.

This is human nature, and Xie Yuwei does not blame Tie Shanhe for his actions.

"Don't worry, cousin, Uncle Huang will help me." Xie Yuwei said to Xie Huaian.

Seeing that she was not panicked, Xie Huaian never mentioned the matter again.

He concealed his identity for Jie Yuwei, and Jie Yuwei kept his love in her heart.

Qi Pawn Shop:

Not long after Manager Huang sent Jie Yuwei away, the county magistrate came to the shop with Ming Zihui and Tie Shanhe.

Ming Zihui was stunned when he saw Manager Huang. How could he be a manager in this remote mountain place?

Manager Huang was also surprised to see Ming Zihui. The world is so big, but they actually met in this small town of Zhoushan.

"General!" Shopkeeper Huang saluted Ming Zihui with his fists clasped.

He is the youngest and most promising general of Ling Kingdom, with the strength of the peak Saint level. He has guarded Tianlei for ten years and made great contributions to the human race. He is the God of War of Ling Kingdom.

It is said that his Qi Sea was damaged and he was recuperating in Lingdu.

He never expected to meet him here.

Tie Shanhe was stunned when he heard how Manager Huang addressed Ming Zihui.

This Mr. Ming who has been living in the county government office is actually a general?

Yan Hongxue didn't expect that Manager Huang knew his best friend. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. The identity of this Manager Huang was not simple!

Ming Zihui's next words made him feel like he had seen a ghost.

"Marquis Weiyuan!" Ming Zihui greeted Manager Huang.

Tie Shanhe and Yan Hongxue both looked at Manager Huang in surprise. Is he the Marquis of Weiyuan?

Yan Hongxue found it unbelievable that the Weiyuan Hou, who was said to love only freedom and business, actually stayed in his Zhoushan Town and worked as a small shopkeeper?

No wonder he has so many strange cards in his hand.

Shopkeeper Huang’s original name was Huang Yongqing, and he was the Marquis of Weiyuan conferred by the emperor himself.

He did not like family struggles, so he stayed away from the court and traveled around.

"I wonder what brings you all to my pawnshop?" Shopkeeper Huang asked curiously.

Ming Zihui was a little reserved and couldn't say it.

Yan Hongxue asked bluntly, "Did you get the cards in the hands of Jie Yuwei and Jie Yuchen from Nanwen Village?"

Shopkeeper Huang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that they noticed Yuwei's existence.

From what they said, they didn't know that Wei'er was the card maker.

"Yes, my Ka Lingtang has recently obtained some new cards. Are you interested in the new cards?" Shopkeeper Huang asked frankly.

Yan Hongxue was very curious: "What new cards are there? Lord Hou, can you show them to us?"

Shopkeeper Huang took out a few of each of Jie Yuwei's new cards for them to look at.

"What are these cards?" Yan Hongxue activated the cards curiously. Feeling the information on the cards, he couldn't let them go.

"I didn't expect cards to be made like this. It's a pity there are no advanced cards!"

Yan Hongxue is a high-level card master, and these primary and intermediate cards are of little use to him.

Shopkeeper Huang said calmly, "We will gradually release advanced cards in the future. If County Magistrate Yan is interested in our cards, you can pay attention to our Card Spirit Hall."

"Is there really a high-level card?" Yan Hongxue asked in surprise.

Shopkeeper Huang nodded. It was only a matter of time before Sister Wei could create high-level cards.

Ming Zihui listened to their conversation for a while before asking the question he was most concerned about: "My Lord, could you recommend this card maker to me?"

Shopkeeper Huang showed an expression of "as expected". They came for Sister Wei.

"I'm sorry, this is the Supreme Card Maker of my Ka Ling Tang. I won't reveal her information to anyone, not even you, the Great General."

Ming Zihui and the other two were a little surprised.

Later, thinking about the scarcity of card makers in Ling Country, Ming Zihui and Yan Hongxue could understand Manager Huang's approach.

Every talented card maker is protected by a powerful family or force.

"We are being presumptuous!" Ming Zihui said to Shopkeeper Huang.

Shopkeeper Huang didn't mind them investigating the cards' origins. He said to the three, "Are you interested in these cards? Would you like to buy them? I can give you a discount."
