In fact, the only one who reacted strongly to this was Li Chang'an. She was so angry that she wanted to take that silver spear and pry open the skulls of these two guys to see what kind of Gu worms were inside.
The current offer is already a thousand taels of silver higher than the base price of that silver spear. Such a huge loss will not make anyone happy even if they eventually get the item.
"Three thousand taels once! Three thousand taels twice!"
At this moment, each bid from the master of ceremonies seemed like a heavy hammer pressing on everyone's hearts. Everyone couldn't help but wonder if anyone would continue to bid, and if so, by how much?
Three thousand and ten taels.
The sound of bidding resumed.
This time, however, everyone's emotions were somewhat complicated. While they were looking forward to it, they also felt a little disappointed.
The reason they were looking forward to it was because someone kept bidding higher, and they could continue to watch the competition. What disappointed them was that this time the price was only raised by ten taels of silver. Such a big difference was really hard to accept.
Li Chang'an reached out and lifted the black veil in front of his cloak, then turned and glared angrily at Tao Yao, warning her with his eyes that she should stop bidding.
After feeling that sharp, knife-like gaze, Tao Yao looked at Li Chang'an with some difficulty, then at Feng Beichuan beside her, and finally sighed helplessly before raising the sign in her hand.
"Three thousand five hundred taels!"
After announcing the price, Tao Yao turned to Li Chang'an and winked, her helpless expression suggesting she was trying to explain that she had no intention of going against her.
After all, he was just a tool!
If you really want to settle scores, you should go find Feng Beichuan.
Unfortunately, Li Chang'an couldn't hear his thoughts. After he quoted the price, he was immediately met with another glare from the other party.
Tao Yao couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart, suddenly realizing how difficult it was to be a decent human being.
Now, Li Chang'an really felt that he had no way to deal with these two people. In the end, he could only angrily continue to cover his face with his bamboo hat and then return the plaque that he had snatched from Feng Beichuan to the other party.
As Li Chang'an slammed the bidding paddle onto the table in front of him, Feng Beichuan raised an eyebrow and reflexively shrank back.
He could certainly sense the other person's very unpleasant mood, but he could only pretend not to see it.
"Three thousand five hundred taels of silver in three bids! Sold! Congratulations to the bidder for winning the final, coveted item of the auction!"
As the emcee finished speaking, the hall was immediately brightly lit, and everyone applauded and congratulated, while also turning their curious gazes to the buyer who had casually spent more than three thousand taels of silver.
To emphasize the status of this final guest, the emcee specially invited Tao Yaojun to the stage to say a few words.
Although she didn't pay for it herself, Tao Yaojun has always been very good at showing off.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and then calmly walked onto the stage.
After going on stage, he cleared his throat in a pretentious manner and then said, "You don't have to care about the price of things you like. There's a saying that goes, 'Enjoy life while you can,' and 'A thousand pieces of gold can't buy my happiness.' Do you all agree with this?"
After hearing Tao Yaojun's words, the people below the stage couldn't help but applaud, and some even whistled and cheered.
The scene instantly erupted in excitement. Some of the women who had come to attend the auction looked at the tall, slender, broad-shouldered, and exquisitely dressed man on the stage with an extraordinary air about him, and they couldn't help but starry-eyed.
Even though the mask partially concealed the man's face, the half of his face that was visible was enough to tell that he was an extremely handsome man.
Watching that guy spout nonsense while holding his own money, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but curl his lips in disgust, his heart filled with contempt.
Li Chang'an, however, remained sullen and didn't even look at the stage.
The auction has now officially come to an end.
Everyone left, while those who won the auction went through another passage to the transaction area to pay.
Before leaving, Tao Yaojun quickly found an opportunity to go to Feng Beichuan and ask him to give her the money for the silver spear.
Feng Beichuan simply shrugged and said, "I have no money."
"No money?!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Yao's jaw nearly dropped to the ground. Then, somewhat exasperated, he said, "If you don't have money, why did you ask me to help you take pictures? So what are we going to do now? You're not trying to scam me, are you?"
Seeing Feng Beichuan's ambiguous smile, Tao Yaojun suddenly felt a sense of unease. He couldn't help but voice his worst suspicions, and then said, "If you're trying to trick me, you're out of luck. Let me tell you, I've gotten the stuff for you, but you're on your own now! Whether you have money or not, I'm outta here!"
Feng Beichuan naturally knew that Tao Yaojun possessed an extremely powerful escape technique. If this person really wanted to run away, he probably wouldn't be found even if he were in a desperate situation.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't panic, it was just a joke! Just relax and wait to pay. I said I didn't have any money because who carries thousands of taels of silver with them when they go out? Don't worry, after all, you've helped me so much, I definitely won't cheat you. I'll have someone send the silver notes over right now."
After hearing what the other party said, Tao Yao felt relieved. Then she warned Feng Beichuan not to try anything funny. After that, he went to the payment counter through another passage.
Watching the man's retreating figure, Feng Beichuan shook his head speechlessly, then prepared to leave the auction venue with Li Chang'an.
When he turned around, he found that the person was gone.
Feng Beichuan's expression immediately tightened, wondering if the woman was still angry.
broken!
I was so busy chatting nonsense with Tao Yaojun that I didn't realize Li Chang'an had left on his own.
Damn it!
Feng Beichuan had no time to think any further and hurriedly left the auction house.
Sure enough, as soon as he went out, he saw Li Chang'an and Zhuque coming out of the rest area. Judging from her appearance, Li Chang'an seemed to be preparing to leave, but Zhuque seemed to stop and say something.
"Chang An!"
Feng Beichuan quickly ran over and then eagerly waved to Li Chang'an.
