For some reason, even though the Third Pawnbroker was looking at everyone with smiling eyes, Chen Shaojun felt that he was paying more attention to him.

What did this mean?

Did the Third Master want Chen Shaojun to make a move?

Chen Shaojun guessed, but he stood there and did not move.

A special treasure?

One of them would help to appraise this treasure.

How could he not know that the pawnshop’s trade was based on the Divine Vision technique, which relied on the mental strength of the pawnbroker? It was even a life-saving ability to prevent the baleful aura from counterattacking!

Third Pawnbroker Zhang Gao was an official pawnbroker in the Lin Pawnshop. Thus, he had already achieved Lesser Mastery in the Divine Vision technique and was also skilled in martial arts. Although he was short and fat, he was many times stronger than a group of weak apprentice pawnbrokers.

If even he was unable to appraise a treasure, how could an ordinary apprentice possibly interfere?

Although all of this was just a guess by Chen Shaojun, he was not willing to take the risk.

He already had the Psychic Treasure Mirror and did not need the recognition of others.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was afraid of being discovered, he wouldn’t even reveal the secret that his Divine Vision technique had reached the Proficient-Level.

After all, he knew that he was still in the incubation and adjusting period with his newfound skills.

It was most appropriate for him to fade into the crowd.

Another thing worthy of mentioning was that besides him, there was another person that didn’t display too much enthusiasm.

The other party was probably the person who had stayed here the longest. He was usually very dull and easily neglected. He seemed to be called Ah Yong. As for his surname? No one asked, and he never mentioned it either.

“Then I’ll leave it to you. Go to my Water Cloud Room tomorrow.”

Zhang Gao looked at them and pointed to the one who was the most enthusiastic.

The Water Cloud Room was Zhang Gao’s own appraisal room.

The environment was naturally much better than the appraisal room in the pawnshop.

It was said that not only were there treasures in that room that could aid in the appraisal process, there was also a study room as well as a resting room. It was very spacious.

“Yes. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Third Master.”

Zhang Ke, who was pointed out, quickly responded in excitement.

Then, he looked at the others with an arrogant look.

In particular, when he looked at Chen Shaojun, he could not help but snort.

It seemed like he was trying to say that he wasn’t the only one who could gain the recognition of their master.

Chen Shaojun was baffled but did not say anything.

Furthermore, he noticed that Ah Yong was also shaking his head. There seemed to be some pity in his eyes.

“Pity?”

“What does he know?”

Chen Shaojun frowned.

The Second Master and the Third Master had both left.

After that, the various apprentice pawnbrokers naturally dispersed.

One by one, they stood in front of Ticketing Manager Shen and waited for him to issue missions to them.

The treasures they were going to appraise today were still from the batch that the shopkeeper had brought from the government office yesterday.

Among them was the jade ruyi that was covered in a sinister aura and had a ghostly shadow entrenched within it.

Fortunately, there were indeed a lot of raw materials in this batch. The jade ruyi was placed at the back, so it would not be placed in the hands of the apprentice pawnbrokers.

“However, even so, the jade ruyi will fall into the hands of us apprentices in two or three days at most.”

Chen Shaojun estimated this and felt uneasy.

He did not have the means to face the ‘ghost’ directly.

Putting away the raw material in his hands, Chen Shaojun went to his appraisal room with the other apprentices.

At Appraisal Room No. 7.

Chen Shaojun saw Ah Yong.
