Chapter 125: Wishes Fulfilled
A look of surprise and confusion appeared on Mu Jingshen's handsome face.
Given the Tang family's current financial resources, spending over ten million gold coins to buy a single pill would be an extremely difficult task.
But why did Mr. Tang insist on raising the price so much?
"Senior brother, should we continue bidding?" the young man asked again. He hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer and whispered, "Senior brother, if Master finds out you spent over ten million on pills as a birthday gift for him, he'll be furious..."
Mu Jingshen: "..."
Mu Jingshen fell into deep thought, muttering, "What if I upset Master on my birthday..."
He placed his hand on the sword at his waist and uttered two words: "That's enough."
"Fifteen million gold coins! Are there any other distinguished guests willing to offer a higher price?" Zhu Ying smiled and looked around.
When the Seventh Elder saw that Mu Jingshen hadn't made any further bids, he chuckled and said, "That kid gave up after all... Well, it's my turn to shine now."
She picked up the sign: "Sixteen million gold coins!"
Zhu Ying's eyes lit up: "The three-story private room that once won the bid for the Cloud-Vast Spirit Flower has been bid on again!"
"Seventeen million gold coins!" The private room of the Tang family on the second floor was not to be outdone.
"Heh." The Seventh Elder chuckled lightly and said calmly, "Twenty million gold coins!"
"Wow..." The entire Wugui Pavilion erupted in exclamations.
They immediately increased the price by three million gold coins!
These private rooms on the third floor are truly a treasure trove of hidden talents...
Inside the private room on the second floor, Uncle Hai turned to look at the woman: "Second Miss, the other party has offered 20 million gold coins, and we... don't have enough money left."
Tang Yi pursed her red lips, her eyes flashing with a cold glint: "Uncle Hai, go investigate the forces behind that private room!"
Uncle Hai didn't move, but bowed his head to Tang Yi: "Second Miss, there's something I have to say. Although we're going to spend 20 million to buy the pills refined by the Eldest Miss, how will we solve the problem of the Tang family's dwindling assets?"
Tang Yi gritted her teeth: "Uncle Hai! You mean you're just going to hand over that Purple Jade Pill to someone else like that?!"
Uncle Hai said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Second Miss, many years have passed, and the status of my Tang family among the eight great families has been declining. Under such circumstances, we should conserve our strength and make full preparations."
"While the Purple Jade Pill is indeed of great significance to our Tang family, we must also recognize one fact—the Tang family is now powerless to help."
Uncle Hai's words made Tang Yi's face stiffen.
She leaned back in her chair, exhausted. After a long while, she gave a bitter smile: "Uncle Hai, you...you're right."
The Tang family had reached its wits' end since the day their eldest sister disappeared...
The fact that the Tang family has been able to maintain its status as one of the eight great families for so many years is inseparable from the efforts of every member of the Tang family.
If she really were to spend all her assets to bid for the Purple Jade Pill today, what would happen to the Tang family members behind her? Would they starve to death?
Tang Yi took a deep breath and finally made a decision: "Uncle Hai, let's give up."
...
Finally, the Seventh Elder won the Purple Jade Pill at a high price of 20 million gold coins.
"It feels so good to spend money on Xiao Fei'er!" The Seventh Elder sat with his legs crossed, looking incredibly refreshed.
Ye Fei has lost her dreams.
She not only has to repay the two million gold coins owed to Li, but also the twenty million gold coins owed to the Seventh Elder…
Let's just let a bolt of lightning strike her dead!
