176, Identity

Luocheng Eastern Market seemed like spring all year round, where the city's thriving vitality always began.

At a time when the people of Luocheng were still fearful, the merchants in the East Market had already quietly taken down their shop panels to discreetly commence business.

Chen Ji, dressed in grey clothing, walked up and down the street as if he were searching for something. He appeared relaxed, as if today were no different from any other day.

Eventually, he stopped in front of Dingchang Pawnshop, looked up at the signboard, and stepped over the threshold, "Shopkeeper, I have items to pawn."

The counter at the pawnshop, unlike ordinary shops, was sealed with varnished wood panels, leaving only a small window at the top.

Behind the window, an old Shopkeeper with white hair and beard looked down and squinted through the small window, "Young fellow, what would you like to pawn?"

Chen Ji pulled out a large pearl from his sleeve and handed it over, "East pearl."
