Su Que entered the bank almost at the very last moment before it closed, stuffing a large bag of silver onto the counter.
He had previously learned that this was a major bank, with branches in Jiannan Prefecture City. Silver Notes exchanged here could also be used in the prefectural city.
Though the clerk seated behind the counter was unwilling, he still finished weighing and counting all the silver, exchanging it for Silver Notes for Su Que.
Su Que took the Silver Notes, folded them neatly, tucked them into his breast, and upon leaving the city, immediately broke into a sprint toward Jade Water City.
He was incredibly fast. The pedestrians along the road saw only a blurry shadow flash past; in the blink of an eye, it became a tiny black dot and vanished.
As it was dusk, some people even thought they had seen demons or ghosts.
Su Que first returned to Luofeng Mountain, removed his disguise, and only then went home.
When he arrived home, his older sister, Su Jing, was packing his clothes.
Su Jing's pale, slender hands—slightly rough from doing so much housework—carefully folded several of Su Que's garments before placing them into a Book Chest.
The Book Chest would hold clothes, the Four Treasures of the Study, and other such items. Su Que would soon carry it on his back to the prefectural city.
Su Jing had always kept the approximate date of Su Que's departure for the prefectural city in mind. She had long known that he would be leaving in the next few days to take the Provincial Civil Service Examination.
"When you go this time, don't try to save money. Find the biggest Huaiyang Escort Agency in Jade Water City and have them take you there. It'll be much safer."
