“Brother, I am already a scholar, and I have long coveted this inkstone. Since you haven’t offered any money, would you mind letting me have it? I promise you, if you ever have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me, and I will answer them to the best of my ability!”
"No, I bought it as a gift. Although I didn't pay for it, since you're a scholar, you should know the principle of first come, first served!" The scarred man's face turned fierce, and he was slightly annoyed.
"You need to think this through. There are only a handful of scholars in the entire Winterspring City. Even if you don't study, surely some of your relatives or your sons are studying? I'm not joking about this promise!"
The scarred man ignored the young man and directly gave the waiter the silver to buy the inkstone.
"That's the right way to think about it. If you want to give it to me, I'll reluctantly accept it."

"Don't talk nonsense! If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll report you to the authorities! Everyone, don't believe this man! Look at his scarred face, he's clearly a wicked person trying to tarnish my reputation. I won't let this go!"

Song Yan'er's mind was completely on the scarred man and she didn't pay attention to what Bai Zihua said!
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"
"Oh, it's nothing, let's go." Something felt off. Knowing that scarred man's personality, if he wanted that inkstone and someone tried to take it, he should have just beaten them away! Why was he wasting so much time here?
It's just stalling for time, but I don't know what it's for. Oh well, there are too many things to deal with in the world. It's good enough if I can manage my own affairs. I can't cause trouble, and I hate trouble too!
