The moment Xiao Wu and Flander's group returned to their seats, everyone's attention returned to the auction stage.
Tang San turned his head to the side, his voice extremely low.
"Xiao Wu, why do you insist on buying it? Isn't this already yours?"
Xiao Wu chuckled and patted Tang San's arm.
"Hey bro, I told you I'm fine!"
"It's just a small misunderstanding, it'll be fine once it's explained."
She blinked her big eyes, deliberately avoiding Tang San's probing gaze, and turned to look at the auction stage.
"Look, look! The auction is about to restart."
Tang San frowned slightly.
The more casually Xiao Wu spoke, the more intense his unease became.
What exactly did the farm owner say to her?
Just an explanation?
On stage, Ang Lee wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced himself to calm down.
Although both parties were filled with countless questions, they had already stopped, and the auction had to continue.
He picked up the auction gavel.
"Ahem, distinguished guests, I apologize for the fright."
"Next, we will continue the auction of this... uh, pink bunny ear pajamas."
"The previous bid was six hundred gold soul coins. Is there anyone offering a higher bid?"
Ang Lee's gaze involuntarily drifted towards Flander and Tang San.
All he wants now is to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.
"Six hundred gold soul coins for the first time!"
"Six hundred gold soul coins, second time!"
The room was completely silent.
Just kidding, who didn't see that scene just now?
Two Soul Saints!
One of them was clearly protecting those kids.
Who would dare to steal from them? Do they have a death wish?
Let alone six hundred, even sixty gold soul coins wouldn't be enough for anyone to ask for now.
Just as Ang Lee was about to bring down the gavel.
"One thousand gold soul coins."
A calm voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Tang San.
He was expressionless.
Actually, even if Xiao Wu hadn't said anything, he had originally planned to buy this dress anyway.
This is Xiao Wu's personal belonging; it must never fall into the hands of others.
Upon hearing this price, many people cursed inwardly.
really!
Having powerful connections gives you confidence!
Isn't this blatantly telling everyone that they're determined to have this item?
Ang Lee felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and he almost couldn't wait to bring down the gavel.
"One thousand gold soul coins! This distinguished guest has bid one thousand gold soul coins!"
"Are there any higher ones?"
He made a symbolic glance around, and the audience naturally fell silent.
"One thousand gold soul coins for the first time!"
"One thousand gold soul coins, second time!"
"One thousand gold soul coins for the third time!"
Thump!
"make a deal!"
Ang Lee brought down the auction gavel heavily, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning this... item."
He paused, composed himself, and then announced loudly.
"Distinguished guests, this special session of the Qibao Auction has now come to a successful conclusion!"
"All guests who have successfully bid on items, please proceed to the backstage area shortly to complete the transaction procedures!"
Thank you for coming!
After saying that, Ang Lee practically fled the auction stage.
The guests in the auction hall also stood up one after another, discussing the dramatic scene that had just unfolded, and left one after another.
Flander, along with Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, stood up and walked to Tang San and Xiao Wu's side.
"Mistress, go and complete the formalities."
Flander glanced at Xiao Wu, hesitated, and ultimately didn't ask.
"We're waiting for you here."
"good."
Tang San responded and got up to go backstage.
As he passed by Xiao Wu, he paused and asked again in a low voice.
"Xiao Wu, I won't be at peace until you tell me what happened!"
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Xiao Wu had no choice but to pull on Tang San's sleeve and walk to a slightly more secluded corner.
She looked somewhat awkward and muttered something under her breath.
"Oh, well... well, my pajamas were stolen, and somehow ended up here, where they were auctioned off!"
"The farm owner apologized to me, and his attitude was quite sincere."
Tang San clearly did not believe this explanation.
"that's all?"
"Hmm...he also said..."
Xiao Wu's eyes flickered, and her voice lowered even further.
He also said that, as a way of expressing his apology, he would compensate me tenfold, no matter how much the pajamas sold for!
ten times?!
Tang San's body trembled slightly.
Ten times one thousand gold soul coins, that's ten thousand gold soul coins!
This is quite a gesture...
How could the owner of this farm, whom I've never met before, be so generous?
Or is there something else going on?
Use 10,000 gold soul coins to quell Xiao Wu's anger and prevent the bigger trouble that might result.
Tang San's mind raced, and his gaze toward Xiao Wu became even more complicated.
Why did he do that?
"How should I know!"
Xiao Wu stomped her foot, her cheeks turning even redder.
"He probably felt guilty! Anyway, that's what he said!"
"Alright, alright, brother, go get your things!"
Without saying a word, she pushed Tang San toward the backstage area.
Tang San looked back at Xiao Wu every few steps, but finally suppressed his doubts and walked towards the backstage passage.
...
at the same time.
Top floor of the auction house, inside the auctioneer's room.
The table in front of Ning Liu did not contain gold soul coins, nor any rare treasures.
Instead, it was a set of neatly stacked, soft, silvery-white women's nail polish.
