Yu Jinxiu glanced at the hand that Ruan Qi had withdrawn, rubbed his chilly neck, and looked at Xi Jiu with lingering fear.
Xi Jiu didn't look at him, her eyes lowered, slowly slicing the steak on her plate with a dining knife. With each cut, the blade scraped against the plate with an ear-piercing 'screech'.
Yu Jinxiu heard it and felt a chill all over, shrinking his neck with trepidation. He asked Ruan Qi, "Teacher Ruan, how much do you plan to sell this Jade Dew Ointment for?"
"Hmm..." Ruan Qi took a bite of the meat cubes Xi Jiu had cut, thought about it, and said, "How about one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan."
Upon hearing the price, Yu Jinxiu frowned slowly.
