"Besides, it's almost noon. It's better to meet by chance than to invite someone. How about I treat you to lunch later?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Liu," Su Hua declined calmly. "However, we have other matters to attend to in Tangshan Prefecture, so we will take our leave now."

Take Liu Lin's polite words at the end with a grain of salt; the important thing is at the beginning: cutting the stone.

If the raw stones they selected were actually cut open in the shop, they probably wouldn't be able to return to Qingshui County today.

Liu Lin couldn't let her leave so easily. Ten rough stones, if even one or two of them yielded jade, it could boost the shop's business. Moreover, he also wanted to know if Su Hua really had some skills.

If she really is good at appraising jade, then he will be even more determined to win her over.

Just as he reached out to grab Su Hua, a sharp palm strike came straight down from the sky.

"Ah!!!" Liu Lin recoiled in pain, staggered and fell to the ground. The back of his hand that had been hit was swollen with a large lump, and there were still specks of blood seeping from the lump.

Liu Yuxian hurriedly helped the man up, glaring fiercely at Xiao Jinhan, "My brother kindly invited you to stay for dinner, and you actually hit him? Do you not want to leave Tangshan Prefecture today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the shop assistants from the Liu family shop surrounded Xiao Jinhan and his group, instantly encircling them.

The man didn't even glance at Liu Yuxian, only giving Liu Lin on the ground a cold look. "Remember this in the future: don't touch things you shouldn't touch."

With that, he raised his sky-blue sleeves, creating a soft whistling sound in the air, and the four men blocking his way were all knocked to the ground.

Seeing this, the remaining seven or eight men dared not stop them and stood still like quails.

When Liu Yuxian saw the Su family swaggering out of the shop, she was so angry that her chest heaved. She slapped the two shop assistants in front of her twice.

"Useless! You're all useless! Does the Liu family think we're feeding you for free? You can't even stop a cripple! What use are you?"

Upon witnessing this scene, the customers hurriedly filed out of the shop. When gods fight, mortals suffer. They had come to the jade gambling street to make a fortune, but they didn't want to be caught in the crossfire.

Zheng Baoling had just woken up and originally wanted to ask Su Hua for the Rejuvenating Embroidery or to share it with her, but upon seeing this, she simply waved her hand and let the maid help her away.

Wei Jianjia's hand, which was holding the brocade pouch, froze on the spot. She had originally planned to give the contents of the pouch to Su Hua, but now it seemed that there was no suitable opportunity to do so.
