The bowls and plates, propelled by his force, quickly rose into the air before crashing heavily back onto the table.
The tea in the bowl stirred up a layer of water droplets, which spilled all over the table.
A teacup tapped against the table with a soft, clinking sound.
The once bustling teahouse suddenly fell silent.
"roll!"
Master Liu almost roared out that one word.
He slumped back onto the stool, picked up a bowl of tea, and gulped it down.
The scalding hot tea instantly spread throughout his stomach.
The scalded face of Master Liu was contorted into a hideous expression.
Some scholars who didn't want to cause trouble headed outside.
Those who were originally waiting to watch the excitement left after seeing that many people had dispersed.
The huge teahouse fell silent in an instant.
Only three tables of people remained.
After a while.
Having completely calmed down, Master Liu looked the two scholars by the table up and down with a probing gaze.
"Oh, so there really are people who aren't afraid of death?" Old Master Liu sneered.
The waiter seemed to instantly understand, and walked over to the two people at the table by the window: "Hey, I'm talking to you two! Aren't you leaving yet?"
Xie Ruofan glanced at the waiter and said, "This teahouse isn't just for you. What business is it of yours if we're drinking tea here?"
The servant choked on his words.
However, he quickly returned to his previous state.
He clasped his hands together and raised them high: "Our Master Liu is the third-ranked scholar in this imperial examination. How dare you two disregard the third-ranked scholar?"
"Third place in the imperial examination?" Xie Ruofan laughed out loud as if he had heard a funny joke. "As far as I know, the imperial examination hasn't even started yet. How come your Master Liu has already passed with flying colors?"
The servant's smile froze, and he took another step toward the two of them, his anger rising: "Are you two coming or not?"
"I'm not leaving!"
Xie Ruofan stood up from the stool without showing any weakness.
“This is a teahouse, not your home. If you want to monopolize it, you can buy the teahouse and close the door for yourself. Since the teahouse owner is open for business, and we haven’t finished our tea, what right do you have to kick us out?”
"Good, good, good!" Master Liu clapped three times in a row: "I've really seen something today. Someone actually dares to put on airs in front of me, Master Liu."
"I don't care about you, Master Liu." Xie Ruofan snorted coldly: "There is a law under heaven. Even if I went to the county magistrate's place, I would have paid for tea and I would not be kicked out."
"Hahahaha." Master Liu burst into laughter: "The county magistrate is nothing but a fart. He's not even good enough to be a shoe-teller in front of our Liu family. Do you even know who I am?"
As he spoke, Liu Erye walked towards Xie Ruofan's direction.
He Xingyi looked at the man who was coming on menacingly, and whose words were full of arrogance.
He was afraid that Xie Ruofan would suffer if he really confronted him, so he subtly tugged at his sleeve from below.
He Xingyi deliberately lowered his voice and whispered, "Brother Xie, I sense this person is up to no good. He seems to have some connections. With the exams just around the corner, why bother getting angry with someone like this? Let's go to another teahouse..."
He Xingyi hadn't finished speaking.
Master Liu had already walked up to the two of them. He touched Xie Ruofan's collar and asked, "Are you here to take the exam too?"
Xie Ruofan frowned deeply and took half a step back, creating a small distance between herself and him.
The moment Master Liu's fingertips missed their mark.
