Yang Xiao immediately stood out, having been previously interrupted by Zhou Hong while he was about to offer the Imperial Green Jade to Lin Jiuchong; now he returned the favor, forcefully cutting off Zhou Hong's words.
Beforehand, he had been quietly observing the situation, trying to ascertain Zhou Hong's true identity.
Otherwise, if he ended up offending someone without knowing who they were, seeking retribution would be difficult, let alone identifying the true aggrieved party.
Now that he had clarified Zhou Hong's identity, he had no concerns and naturally, he no longer felt the need to be courteous to Zhou Hong.
"Young man, you're right; this piece of Imperial Green Jade is yours, indeed you can sell it to whoever you choose—it doesn't necessarily go to the highest bidder!" Zhou Hong swallowed his previous words and said, looking at Yang Xiao.
