The tavern owner's abrupt change in attitude made Xia Nan feel strange.
Not that he was angry,
just felt that the behavior of the other person was somewhat similar to Horak.
Someone who is extremely generous and offers expensive jewelry accessories to a stranger adventurer on their first encounter, but when the object of interest becomes the pink Jadestone he possesses, he seldom even takes it out for display, only once holding it in the palm of his hand, maintaining a safe distance, allowing others to observe from afar;
Someone who shows special enthusiasm to the tavern's first-time guests, offering lemonade and mandarins, answering everything without hesitation, appearing as a good-hearted owner, but strangely, when gemstones are mentioned, he suddenly becomes indifferent, even showing a hint of hostility and detachment.
Xia Nan is not a fool.
With a bit of thought, he identified the common point between the two:
——pink Jadestone.
