Xu Yuan deftly counted the silver notes, verifying their amount and authenticity, while Li Junqing sat quietly beside him, eagerly observing.
The private room was silent for a moment, save for the rustling of notes being counted.
After a while,
Xu Yuan looked up.
Li Junqing immediately asked,
"Has the Third Young Master finished counting?"
"Not a penny off, Your Highness. Don't worry, I will make arrangements. After all, everything must be grounded in trust, right?"
Xu Yuan put the counted silver notes into the Sumeru Ring, paused, and then asked with slight interest:
"However, I am quite curious about one thing. Your Highness, how much silver do you usually carry with you when you go out?"
Upon hearing this question, Li Junqing became immediately vigilant:
"What are you trying to do?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking."
