Shen Yuan returned to the outer city along the street he came from.

The inn in the inner city was expensive and he couldn't afford it.

"Huh?"

At the entrance of the antique street, Shen Yuan saw an antique shop with a light projected, and he ran over quickly.

Shen Yuan ran into the antique shop and saw a man packing his belongings, and a middle-aged man in black stood next to him.

Seeing Shen Yuan come in, the middle-aged man glanced at him.

When he met those eyes, Shen Yuan suddenly felt a hairy feeling in his heart, as if he was stared at by a beast.

Shen Yuan didn't dare to look at him, and quickly lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and whispered; "Can I take a look?"

The figure who was packing his belongings paused, raised his head, stroked his hair, and looked at Shen Yuan.

A slightly immature face appeared in Shen Yuan's field of vision, a girl of the same age as him.

The girl was wearing a green dress, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, which made her look playful and cute: "You can look at the antiques on the table, but I won't take out the ones I put away."

"Thank you."

Shen Yuan thanked her and began to "check" from where the girl had put away.

No, no, no...

Watching Shen Yuan quickly pass by the items, the girl paused, but didn't say much.

"Got it!"

When Shen Yuan touched a bronze ring, a heavy breath penetrated his body, and the unknown energy began to increase, directly to 19%, and then rushed to 35%.

It soared all the way, and slowly stopped at 55%, and finally stopped at 67%.

Shen Yuan's joy in his heart could no longer be stopped, and it showed on his face.

"You like this item?" The girl's crisp voice pulled Shen Yuan back to his mind.

"Uh."

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Shen Yuan's face. He definitely didn't come here to buy antiques, and it would be best if he could get it for free.

"Excuse me, do you know the origin of this item?" Shen Yuan asked.

"I know, but why should I tell you?" A sly look flashed in the girl's eyes.

"I'll buy it, and you tell me the origin of this item." Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, knowing the source of this gray energy is very important to him.

"Can you afford it?" The girl looked at Shen Yuan, who was wearing a gray cloth. Although it looked neat, there were several places where it was stitched.

"How much taels of silver."

"One hundred taels."

"Uh." Hearing the price, Shen Yuan's smile froze on his face.

"Why do you want to know the origin of this item?" The girl asked.

Shen Yuan was silent for a moment and said; "Because I am very interested in the origin of this kind of item."

Looking at Shen Yuan's sincere eyes, the girl nodded; "Give me one tael of silver, I will go back tonight to check the information, and I can tell you tomorrow."

"Okay."

Shen Yuan did not hesitate at all and took out one tael of silver. Before coming, he had anticipated this kind of thing and brought some money with him.

The girl looked at the silver coins on the table, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes; "Come over at this time tomorrow."

"Okay."

Shen Yuan walked out of the store. The light outside was about to be swallowed by darkness, and the temperature began to drop rapidly. He hurriedly ran out of the city.

"Uncle Liu, you don't come to help Yue'er either." The girl looked at the motionless middle-aged man, her mouth puffed up, and said aggrievedly.

"Miss, this is the master's punishment, and the subordinate dare not interfere." The middle-aged man said helplessly.

"Humph." The girl stamped her feet and continued to pack up the remaining antiques.

After returning home, Shen Yuan rubbed his frozen hands and face.

"It's a lot of twists and turns."

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted, it was worth the trip just to get that unknown energy.

As for whether the other party would default on the debt, Shen Yuan didn't know, but no matter what, the origin of the unknown energy must be figured out!

······

The next day

On the way to go fishing, Lu Jingfu whispered; "Xiao Yuan, the gang fight is getting more and more intense. It is said that several families died in Nandong Street."

Shen Yuan's heart trembled. Nandong Street is closest to the East District, which means that the fight is spreading to the South District.

"Uncle Lu, what are you going to do here?" Shen Yuan asked.

"I plan to let Xiaohu enter the martial arts hall. With this layer of deterrence, the gang members dare not be too presumptuous."

"Then which martial arts hall are you going to let Xiaohu enter?"

"Hongshi Martial Arts Hall."

Shen Yuan nodded. He was also going to join Hongshi Martial Arts Hall. It was not because of anything else. The cost of this martial arts hall was relatively lower.

······

Inner City, Baishui District.

Shen Yuan came to the Antique Street and went straight to the shop yesterday.

"Lin's Antique Shop."

Looking at the plaque on the gate, Shen Yuan murmured. He was too anxious yesterday and didn't go to see it for a while.

"Sir, what do you want to buy?" A waiter saw Shen Yuan wearing a shabby dress. Although there was no disgust in his eyes, his attitude was cold.

"Excuse me, is the lady in the green dress yesterday here?" Shen Yuan asked.

"Oh, you are the weirdo the lady mentioned. The lady didn't come today."

The waiter's words made Shen Yuan's heart sink to the bottom. Although he had expected it, he still couldn't accept it.

"This is what the lady said to give you."

But soon, the waiter touched the counter, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Shen Yuan.

"What is this?"

"The lady said that it wrote the story of some antique."

Shen Yuan was delighted. He didn't expect the situation to turn around. He bowed and said, "Thank you."

The waiter waved and returned to the counter.

Shen Yuan walked out of the antique shop and read the contents of the note next to the door;

[The bronze ring came from the Cen family in 'Qinghu City' more than a hundred years ago. It was worn by the head of the Cen family. It is said that the head of the Cen family died unexpectedly at that time. Several heirs of the family head fought for the ring that symbolized the head of the family. A big chaos broke out, and then the vitality was seriously damaged. The Cen family began to decline gradually. ]

"Time, authenticity, symbol, turmoil? Could it be these reasons?" Shen Yuan frowned slightly. Although he gave the information, it was still hazy.

"It's useless to guess here. Let's go to the antique shop first."

After thinking for a while, he still didn't figure out the secret. Shen Yuan stopped thinking about it and was about to enter the antique shop.

But his footsteps paused. He looked at his worn-out linen clothes and thought of the attitude of the waiter before.

"Forget it, let's just look at the stalls outside. I'll come to the antique shop after I join the martial arts hall."

Shen Yuan shook his head and began to check the antiques at each stall.

······

"I didn't expect that I would actually find a bargain."

After returning home, Shen Yuan took out a silver bracelet from his arms. He got it by accident at a stall, but the gray energy contained in it was not much, only 12%.

Originally, he wanted to get it for free, but thinking of those factors, it might be authentic, so he spent 30 coins to buy it.

"And the Cen family that the girl mentioned, you can go and ask about it, maybe there are other antiques."
