"A gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall."
Liang Qu understood the implied meaning, to not give the opponent an opportunity, to not fall into a situation where he must resort to using the Jade Token. It's a last resort for dire straits, not a source of unbridled confidence.
"I will carefully heed the teacher's instruction."
"Instruction or not, it only matters if you take it to heart." King Yue extended his hand, "Hand it over."
Liang Qu was puzzled, "Hand over... what?"
"Heavenly Mountain Kunyu, washed by the cold springs of mountain streams, worth its weight in gold, imbued with a precious spirit. Most of what I have was bestowed by the Holy Emperor, I don't ask for much, just the cost price, forty-eight thousand taels."
Glug!
Liang Qu swallowed his saliva, subconsciously clutching the silver note in his bosom.

Why does he want to charge money?
