She's going to cut the stone!
As Wufu spoke, the already quiet crowd erupted once more.
A little girl claiming that this nondescript black stone contained jade, and she's going to cut it open right here? On what basis? Who gave her such confidence?
But thinking about it, it made sense, the girl was still young, looking not even of age to marry—what could she lose cutting open the stone and finding no jade inside?
Being young, lack of experience, it's excusable if she's wrong. After all, even some elders get it wrong sometimes!
Old Man Shen thought the same, eying the stone in her hand. His already grey eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he hesitated at her words, with a trace of uncertainty deep in his eyes.
But that uncertainty, no one knew if it was about his own judgment or Wufu's words.
Shopkeeper Lin hadn't expected Wufu to speak so, casting an instinctive glance towards Mr. Lin at his side.
