After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

Yan Yun gripped Jing Yue's sleeve tightly with one hand, worried about getting separated, while rubbing her eyes with the other.

The world was spinning just now, and since it was pitch black all around when I came in, I couldn't see anything, and my eyes started to hurt.

If I hadn't been following Jingyue, I wouldn't have known whether we had gone the wrong way.

As Jing Yue led Yan Yun deeper inside, they encountered many other people around them.

None of those guys showed their true faces; instead, they used various forms of concealment to cover their faces.

Before coming to the black market, Jing Yue probably gave Yan Yun the haters for this purpose.

Jingyue turned around and handed the black cloth in his hand to Yanyun.

"Use this to cover up the hair bun again."

Yan Yun immediately loosened Jing Yue's sleeve and wrapped his head with the black cloth.

Then other people came up to talk to him.

"Have the two guests still not found what they're looking for?"

Jing Yue picked up the bundle that Yan Yun was carrying and lifted a corner of it, saying, "We need to find a shopkeeper who can accept these."

The man glanced at it and turned away.

"Please come this way."

Jingyue followed him, and Yanyun behind him also followed suit.

After my eyes adjusted to the surroundings, I could vaguely make out that the walls looked like they were made of stone. Unfortunately, there was not much light, so I couldn't see the layout of the surroundings clearly.

The man led the two of them into a separate space.

Another person appeared before Yan Yun and Jing Yue, and asked, "What are you two looking to sell?"

Jing handed the bundle to Yan Yun.

Yan Yun immediately handed over the bundle.

The other party took it and placed it on the stone table in front of them.

Yan Yun said in a rough voice, "I want to exchange these things for silver."

The man bent down, opened the bundle, and laid out all the jewelry to examine it.

After carefully examining each item, he readily agreed to give Yan Yun a price.

"Fifty taels."

Yan Yun immediately refused. She had never been so cheap at the pawnshop before. Fifty taels for this big bundle of things?

Yan Yun asked him, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

The other party shook his head, and he told Yan Yun, "It's definitely the right price."

Yan Yun immediately reached out and took back the bundle. "Fifty taels? Then I won't sell it."

The other party remained calm and confidently told Yan Yun, "Guest, for these items, this is the only price I can offer here. No one else will pay more."

Yan Yun felt that this person was treating him like a fool.

"Then it shouldn't be this little. You know best how much silver it would have cost to buy these."

They were well aware of this, but they wouldn't take these things back for the price they paid.

After all, selling things on the black market is all about reselling stolen goods.

Items of unknown origin are cheaper.

He calmly told Yan Yun, "If this guest is unwilling, he can simply take it back."

Yan Yun also had the same idea.

She was holding the bundle in her hands, looking at the other person's face, somewhat curious about what these guys looked like and how they could ask for such a price.

She packed her things, picked up her bag, and said directly, "I never expected that the black market vendors would be so heartless."

The other party didn't seem to care about Yan Yun's evaluation.

“We’re just doing business. If the customer is willing to sell, then give it to us. We’ll give you the money, not a penny less.”

Yan Yun immediately took the bundle back.

"These things of mine are worth more than a thousand taels."

She stopped and raised the price, "Give me five hundred taels for these things, and I'll keep them for you."

The other party was not in a hurry at all.

"I can't give it to you."

With just three words, the other party clearly stated their refusal.

Yan Yun then stopped pressing the matter.

She packed her bags and left. Since she couldn't give it to him, she would simply look for the next person.

"You can leave now, I'm not selling this to you."

The person left without hesitation, without lingering.

This was the first time Yan Yun had ever encountered such aggressive price-cutting while selling things. She looked at Jing Yue and said, "Tell me, how can these people be so unscrupulous?"

Jing said it wasn't too strange.

"Let's go take another look."

"kindness."

Yan Yun slung his bundle over his shoulder and followed Jing Yue away from here.

Jingyue reached out to Yan Yun, "Give me the bundle, I'll carry it."

Yan Yun immediately handed it to him.

They had only taken a few steps forward when people appeared beside them, many of them taking the initiative to ask them questions.

"What are you two looking for, whether it's a bounty item or someone's head? Just tell us and we can do it for you."

Yan Yun was initially impatient with that heartless guy, but this person who took the initiative to step forward suddenly reminded him of Ru Qing's younger sister.

She immediately became interested.

She looked at the person who had struck up a conversation.

"Can you find someone?"

"Of course, as long as she is still alive, we can help you find her, however..."

The other party is keeping us in suspense.

"But what?"

"You need to pay some compensation."

Yan Yun naturally knew this, and she took the bundle that Jing Yue was carrying.

Is this enough?

The man opened the bundle, glanced at it, and immediately asked Yan Yun.

"Where is the person the customer is looking for from? What are their characteristics?"

Yan Yun was originally thinking about how to find Ru Qing's sister, since it was inconvenient for her to come and go, but he didn't expect the black market to be so convenient.

Yan Yun looked at the person in front of him and carefully told him what Ru Qing had described.

"That girl should only be twelve years old. She was captured from Changgu City."

"Are there any clearer features?"

Yan Yun thought carefully about Ru Qing's letter.

"She has a mole on each side of her face, below her eyes."

This feature is the clearest.

The other party didn't ask any more questions, but told Yan Yun, "You can come here in three days, and our people will inform you of the whereabouts of the person you are looking for."

He said he was about to leave with his bag.

Jing grabbed the bundle, preventing him from taking it.

He snatched the bundle away.

He looked at the other person's hurried appearance and said, "You haven't even received the message yet, and you want to take the payment and leave? That's too easy."

The man said seriously, "We mean what we say, so guests don't need to worry."

Jing Yue wasn't worried, since it wasn't the person he was looking for. He was also willing to try out the black market's capabilities.

Jing handed the bundle to Yan Yun.

"Don't let anyone take it so easily. What if he doesn't show up here in three days?"

Yan Yun thought about it and realized that it was true. Because it belonged to Zheng Jihua, he had been using it too carelessly. Yan Yun took out only one-third of the contents of the bundle and handed it over to the other party.

"If the information you provide in three days helps me find that person, I will give you everything else. I mean what I say."

Jing Yue's reminder was not without reason. Yan Yun also thought that if he gave everything away, what if the other party went back on their word or ran away with the things?

Therefore, we must be wary of this.

The other party handed Yan Yun a plaque.

After Yan Yun accepted it.

"Then please wait for our news."

The person vanished in an instant.

Yan Yun was somewhat surprised.

Although these items weren't sold, it's a good thing that they came in handy.

"Are you still going to sell these things?"

"No, let's go."

It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see anything.

Jingyue's sleeve fell to the side of Jingyue's hand.

Yan Yun covered his long sleeve, just as she had when she arrived.

Jing asked Yan Yun, "But who are you looking for?"

"Ru Qing's younger sister."

"Ru Qing?"

"kindness."

According to Ru Qing, her sister was kidnapped and brought to Yuanjing. At the time, she thought, "In this vast sea of ​​people, how could she be found so easily?"

However, a glimmer of hope has appeared, so we should give it a try.

As Yan Yun and Jing Yue were returning along the same route, they encountered two more people. One of them stopped Yan Yun and said, "Take out what's in your bundle and let me see it."

The other party spoke in a very arrogant tone.

Yan Yun listened and heard that it sounded somewhat like a young woman's voice. She opened the bundle and used the lantern to illuminate the contents.

The person who stopped Yan Yun saw the hairpins inside and asked Yan Yun, "Are these hairpins for sale?"

"Yes."

"How much is this?"

Yan Yun mustered his courage and said, "Thirty taels."

The man turned to his follower and said, "Give me the silver."

She took a hairpin from Yan Yun's bundle, and her attendant gave Yan Yun thirty taels of silver.

The heavy silver coin landed in Yan Yun's hands.

"That's it."

After Yan Yun confirmed it, the person took the hairpin and left.

The movements were quick and efficient.

Yan Yun looked at the silver in his hand, then looked at Jing Yue.

moment.

I held back my laughter.

I almost got hacked by the first guy.

One of her hairpins cost thirty taels, and he actually dared to ask for fifty taels from that pile just now. What a heartless man.

Jingyue glanced at the departing people and told Yanyun, "Judging from that, that person probably came to take a look as well."

Yan Yun nodded.

Otherwise, that person wouldn't have given themselves money to buy a hairpin.

Yan Yun put the silver away.

Having resolved two matters at once, Yan Yun felt much happier. He asked Jing Yue if he was planning to explore the black market, but unfortunately, many areas did not allow others to enter.

Jing Yue and Yan Yun both tried to stop them.

Yan Yun could only catch a glimpse of it from afar.

This so-called black market is actually mostly involved in shady dealings, and the stench of bloodshed it exudes is particularly strong.

"Let's go."

Jing Yue led Yan Yun back to the entrance.

The old man who had brought them reappeared, having lit the lantern again.

"Are the guests leaving?"

"Ah."

When their eyes were covered again and everything around them turned black, Yan Yun felt the world spin again.

Waiting to get back outside the courtyard wall.

Yan Yun felt unwell again and covered her mouth.

Jing Yue was still somewhat puzzled, "Why are you exchanging all that silver, girl?"

Yan Yun said that she was naturally useful.

After leaving the black market, she didn't rush back to Zheng's Academy, but instead headed towards the place where Jing Yue had taken in the woman, with Jing Yue following behind her.

Upon reaching the dilapidated house, Yan Yun first checked the woman's injuries. The other two women inside told Yan Yun, "They made a scene all night, but things have gradually calmed down today. It seems they've pulled through."

Hearing that she was feeling better, Yan Yun felt much more at ease.

Yan Yun handed over all thirty taels of silver he had received to them.

"This money won't get you out of your current predicament overnight, but use it to buy yourself some clean clothes, some firewood to cook, and repair your house so you can eat hot food and dress cleanly. I'll think of something else later."

But the women still had no hope of survival in their eyes, and they did not reach out to take the silver that Yan Yun gave them.

"Why are you so kind to us, Miss? We might not even see the sun rise tomorrow."

Yan Yun remained unmoved by their words, but she still refuted their idea, "But as long as you're alive, there's always hope for survival. If you're alive, won't things be clear tomorrow?"

She believed that whether it was the woman here or the woman lying in bed, they were all struggling here because they wanted to live.

Yan Yun still insisted on leaving the silver behind.

She got up and went back to Zheng's courtyard.

"Miss, won't you take a look at her?"

"No need, I don't need to tell her I'm here."
