When the previously bored and impatient Mo Ran saw the ring in Xu Wendong's hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.
It was as if he'd seen a ghost and even rubbed his eyes.
After confirming he saw it right, he nervously swallowed and asked, "You... how do you have this ring? Does it have the character 'eight' inscribed inside?"
Xu Wendong asked, "So, do you intend to claim it for yourself?"
"Hold on, don't leave, don't go anywhere!" Mo Ran excitedly left the counter and then closed the pawnshop's door, seemingly to prevent Xu Wendong from leaving.
After doing this, he headed straight up the stairs.
Moments later.
A sound of clanging footsteps echoed.
Then...
An old man, wearing a gray linen robe, tumbled down the stairs, crying out in pain as he rolled.
Upon reaching the ground floor, he came to a face-first stop, giving Xu Wendong a shock.
What a unique way for this elder to make an entrance!
