641 Return (3)
Xie Jingxing said, “These are all priceless. You’re a girl after all. What’s wrong with having some jewelry?”
Shen Miao thought for a moment and said, “Maybe I can pawn them to the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop.”
Xie Jingxing choked and frowned. “Are you short of money?”
“It’s always a good thing to have a lot of money. Without money, you can’t do anything. As time passes, I will inevitably run out of money,” Shen Miao said frankly. Now when she was with Xie Jingxing, she was not as vigilant as before, so she spoke in a very down to earth manner. Anyway, Xie Jingxing was resourceful. There were some things that he could find out himself without Shen Miao telling him. There was no need to hide it. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝙣𝙚𝙩

When Xie Jingxing heard this, he took out a round jade token from his sleeve and said, “This is the token of the Golden Jade Bank. With this, you can take as much money as you want.”
Shen Miao picked up the jade token. It was crystal clear and cold to the touch. Shen Miao knew that Xie Jingxing would definitely not lie. This jade token could indeed be used to get banknotes from the Golden Jade Bank. However, the Golden Jade Bank was the largest bank in Ming Qi. Even the royal family sometimes would borrow money from them. Xie Jingxing could even get his hand on the token. What else was he capable of?
Shen Miao returned the jade token to Xie Jingxing and said, “I didn’t want to take your things.”
Xie Jingxing stared at her with interest and said, “You really have a backbone.” He nodded and gestured for Shen Miao to look at the box. “These are not ordinary jewelry. Look closely.”
Shen Miao was a little puzzled. She casually picked up a pair of jade rings. The jade was of extremely good quality. Shen Miao looked at it and saw that the buckle of the pair of rings seemed to be a little strange. She touched it carefully and found that it was a hidden buckle. She looked up at Xie Jingxing. “What is this?”
Xie Jingxing smiled. “Hidden weapon.”
“Hidden weapon?” Shen Miao was about to press the buckle when Xie Jingxing suddenly stopped her. Immediately after, Xie Jingxing stood up and walked behind her. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind and taught her how to use the jade ring.
“There’s a poison needle here. Ordinary people will be unconscious for a while after being injected. Don’t use it randomly.”
“There’s poison powder in the hairpin. If you pull out the hairpin, it can blind people. It’s very useful when you encounter bad people.”
“There’s a knife hidden in the bracelet. If you are tied up, you can use the knife to cut open the rope.”
“There’s a whistle in the earring. If you are in a really urgent situation, you can blow the whistle. My people are everywhere in the capital. If you’re in danger, they’ll rush over to save you…”
He explained everything to Shen Miao carefully. His tone was no longer as frivolous and lazy as usual, but it was extremely serious. His long eyelashes were slightly lowered as his beautiful eyes fixated on the jewelry. Occasionally, he would glance at Shen Miao, looking charming and mesmerizing.
Shen Miao felt a little hot.
Even when the window was open, Shen Miao still felt stuffy in the room. When he leaned over, he looked down. Shen Miao was almost leaning against his chest, and even her back seemed to be covered in a layer of sweat. She tilted her head slightly to steal a glance of him. Xie Jingxing’s lips were beautifully curled up, as if he was smiling. Shen Miao looked away as if she was dazzled.
