Chapter 427 Pawnshop
Hearing Qian Wensong say this, Ye Ru smiled slightly, then said without any hesitation:
"It's alright, it's all thanks to Mr. Zhang Dong and Mr. Zhang Zhi."
"When we return, we will certainly host a banquet in your honor. From now on, you will be honored guests of the Qian family. Wherever you visit any part of the Qian family estate, we will treat you with the utmost hospitality."
Qian Wensong nodded, his face full of gratitude. Then he turned to the injured people beside him and said, "Thank you all. You have done a great service in protecting this Wenshu Moquan. When we return to the Qian family, I will definitely give you one hundred taels of silver."
"Let's heal their injuries first, otherwise, let alone a hundred taels of silver, they'll probably have trouble even walking."
Ye Ru shook his head and spoke first, then took out the "Qing Nang Zi Shu" to heal the injuries of the Qian family servants.
Several minutes later, the injuries of the Qian family servants began to heal slowly.
"Thank you, sir. Let's go now."
A young man bowed to Ye Ru, then left with the people behind him.
"Is this the Ink Spring of Documents?"
Watching those people leave, Ye Ru turned around and looked at the spring water filled with thick black ink, exclaiming in amazement.
"I once read about this Ink Spring in an ancient book. It was said that this Ink Spring had the power to awaken intelligence and purify the library, but I have never seen a real Ink Spring and don't know if what was said is true."
Looking at the ink spring, Zhang Dong pondered for a moment, then explained the mystery to Ye Ru.
"Tch, what's so special about this? In the Thousand Saints Pool, the sacred land where our Star Ape clan resides, there's no shortage of this kind of black ink spring."
Star Ape King curled his lip, looking disdainful.
This made Zhang Dong and the others smile wryly. Although the Star Ape King's words were exaggerated, the demon race had a special sensitivity to rare and precious treasures, so their words were definitely true.
"This ink spring is indeed magical, but it's far from being as powerful as described in the book. The key to the ink spring isn't the ink spring itself, but the documents themselves."
Qian Wensong shook his head, looking at the document and the ink spring with a burning desire in his eyes. He then continued, "The power of this document is the most formidable existence within the ink spring. It possesses a powerful force capable of directly supporting the entire ink spring. However, to pass through this document, one needs not only talent but also a certain amount of luck."
"Oh? Such a strange thing exists? I'd like to hear it all."
This piqued Ye Ru's interest, and he then spoke.
"Documents and Ink Spring..."
Zhang Zhi murmured to himself, then said, "I think I understand something. This document must have originated from the Ink Spring."
"Yes, the documents can only be found within the Ink Spring."
Qian Wensong nodded and said, then added, "Now that we've seen the Ink Spring, let's go back."
"Well, that's fine, I'm a bit tired anyway."
Nodding, Ye Ru left with Qian Wensong, his mind preoccupied.
Upon hearing Qian Wensong's words, Ye Ru also had his own thoughts. Since this document was so powerful, he should definitely seize this opportunity and search for it in the lower spring water when he got the chance to enter the Ink Spring.
"I almost forgot, tomorrow is the opening day of our pawnshop in the capital. This pawnshop can be considered the local bigwig in the pawnshop industry."
Inside a house, Qian Wensong took out several invitations and addressed them to Ye Ru.
"A pawnshop?"
Ye Ru and the others looked at each other in disbelief; their Yanhuang Kingdom had never had such a large pawnshop before.
"You may not know this, but these pawnshops are controlled by the royal family. In our Jin Kingdom, there are countless pawnshops."
"You probably don't know this, but pawnshops are extremely popular in our Jin Kingdom. Many cultural treasures have been passed down from Jin. Therefore, people from other countries come to Jin either to visit a Jin pawnshop or to Wanmu Mountain to admire the magnificent trees."
Qian Wensong explained to Ye Ru and the others, and when he mentioned that he was thirsty, he picked up a glass of water from the table and gulped it down:
"I heard the pawnshop has quite a few cultural relics this time. Would you like to go?"
"Since we're here, we should naturally go and see it for ourselves. Let's go together tomorrow."
Ye Ru and Zhang Dong exchanged a glance. If there really were treasures, they could take this opportunity to buy some.
"Then I'll come find you tomorrow."
Upon hearing that Ye Ru and the others also wanted to go, Qian Wensong clapped his hands, said goodbye to Ye Ru again, and hurriedly left.
"I wonder how the other soldiers are doing."
After drinking a cup of tea, Ye Ru frowned and asked.
"Don't worry, every soldier has our unique mark. As long as they die, the people of the Yanhuang Kingdom will definitely sense it."
Zhang Dong pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. I'll go back and check the Ink Spring. If I can get the document, that would be best. If not, having my body tempered by the Ink Spring will still be beneficial."
Ye Ru smiled and then said.
"Hmm, the document and inkstone are indeed literary treasures, but are you sure they can withstand those families of historical masters?"
Zhang Zhi nodded, but then looked somewhat worried.
"As long as it's not something particularly abnormal, I should be able to stop it. But the most crucial factor is the Qian family. They have two matches, and I can only fight one."
Ye Ru took a deep breath and said solemnly.
To be honest, he was very confident of winning this battle, but the Qian family was not that strong. If the Qian family lost in a best-of-three series, then it would all be over.
"Don't worry too much, just let things take their course. I'll go back to my room first, and we'll go check out the pawnshop together tomorrow."
Zhang Dong stood up and then said.
After Zhang Dong left, Zhang Zhi followed closely behind. As for the Star Ape King, he had already disappeared. Ye Ru was too lazy to look for him. After all, with the Star Ape King's intelligence and the fact that they were in the capital with the National Sacred Academy nearby, if the Star Ape King did anything, the National Sacred Academy would know immediately, and the consequences would be far more than just a warning.
"Sigh, I wonder when this will ever end."
After Zhang Dong and Zhang Zhi left, Ye Ru unconsciously rubbed his temples and muttered to himself that he had now completed one task and the next task was to go to the Xiucai Literary Gathering.
"Sigh, thinking too much won't do any good. I should focus on my studies first, otherwise I'll probably embarrass myself at the literary competition."
Shaking his head, Ye Ru put these trivial matters behind him, then took out a book of classic texts and began to read it attentively.
