Arguments erupted among the crowd. Some felt there was nothing special about the matter, others thought there were some unspeakable secrets hidden within, and still others believed it was just a charade orchestrated by the auction house.
Only the auctioneer on the stage knew that there was absolutely no inside story involved. With one million high-grade spirit stones, she would receive a substantial commission, so she was naturally delighted. "Our esteemed guest in VIP room number one has bid one million high-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the bid? Does the customer in VIP room number three also want to raise the bid?"
Finally, the voice from VIP room number three appeared again, "Two million high-grade spirit stones."
Everyone was excited again, eager to know what was so special about this dagger that made them all the rage, willing to pay such high prices to buy it.
Two million spirit stones is already a very high price, and most people cannot afford it. At one million, perhaps some people can still keep up, but at two million, not many people can keep up, mainly because they do not know the use of this thing. If they buy it and it is useless, then the spirit stones will be wasted, which will become a huge loss.
Shangguan Qi stood beside Xu Yuehuai, staring at her intently. "Senior Sister, what exactly is this thing? Two million? You don't still want it, do you?"
In an instant, everyone in the private room looked at Xu Yuehuai. She pursed her lips and explained, "Well, I feel it's very special, and someone wants me to win them over."
"Five million." Xu Yuehuai didn't want to get involved with him any further. When she shouted out five million, she wanted to tell him that she was determined to get it and make him back down, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
Five million high-grade spirit stones, which would cover the expenses of a medium-sized family for two years, were now being used to buy a dagger.
Those sitting in the lobby finally felt the barrier between themselves and those sitting in the private rooms.
Five million spirit stones might be a pastime for them, but many people couldn't afford that much in their entire lives.
After Xu Yuehuai bid five million, the other party did not continue to bid. "Congratulations to the distinguished guest in VIP room number one for winning our item with five million high-grade spirit stones."
"Just who is sitting in this private room? Their strength is absolutely terrifying."
Qin Chi and Mao Yuan were among those who were shocked. They looked towards the private room several times, trying to find out who was sitting inside, but the other party did not give them any indication of surprise.
Seeing that Qin Chi wanted to get to know them, Mao Yuan patted his chest and said, "Brother Qin Chi, I'll take you over later to see who they are, and then we can make friends!"
Having achieved his goal, Qin Chi smiled at Mao Yuan. Although the Qin family held an extraordinary position, Qin Chi was not a favored member of the family and was sometimes even bullied. Therefore, he particularly craved status. As long as someone could give him the benefits he wanted, he would obtain them by any means necessary.
The auction continued, but the items and prices that appeared later failed to calm everyone's excitement. Xu Yuehuai bought only one item, which made everyone else extremely curious.
Xu Yuehuai did not hide anything from them, but the matter was difficult to describe, so she did not tell them everything.
The waiter knocked on the door of the private room, holding a dagger, followed by five people who stood in front of the door. The leader bowed respectfully and said, "Distinguished guest, these are the items you bid on."
Xu Yuehuai took out a ring filled with spirit stones. After checking it and confirming that the amount was correct, the other party bowed to Xu Yuehuai and left with his entourage.
Everyone was curious about who could afford to spend so many spirit stones to buy this dagger, including the servants. So when they saw that Xu Yuehuai was so young, they were all shocked.
Xu Yuehuai stood at the door, not rushing in. She carefully examined the item she had just received. A shadow fell over her head, and when she looked up, she met the eyes of the handsome man in front of her. Xu Yuehuai said in surprise, "Ying Ziping?"
Xu Yuehuai never expected to run into this man again.
Back when she was on the third floor, she had swindled Ying Ziping out of some spirit stones. Now that they had met again, they were competitors. "I thought the voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was. I never expected that the person competing with me for this item would be you."
Ying Ziping was someone she met when she first came into this world, in that small town, and Pu Pu.
"Would it be convenient for me to come in?" Ying Ziping glanced at the corridor next to him and, thinking that it wasn't appropriate for the two of them to stand there and talk, suggested.
Xu Yuehuai nodded quickly, "Of course."
When Xu Yuehuai returned from her trip, she was accompanied by another person. Everyone looked at the man with curiosity, and Xu Yuehuai introduced him, saying, "This is Ying Ziping, a friend I met before."
"He's also the one who just tried to take something from me." Xu Yuehuai's smile carried a hint of danger.
Ying Ziping coughed and said awkwardly, "I didn't know it was you on the other end. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have tried to take it from you. Besides, you cheated me out of my spirit stones back then, so this is just a matter of repaying you."
Xu Yuehuai was so angry she almost laughed. Back then, she saved Ying Ziping and took the opportunity to extort a sum of spirit stones, but that sum of spirit stones didn't even amount to a million. Now, she had wasted so many spirit stones. This man really held a grudge.
Looking at the man in front of her, Nangong Yu felt that he resembled someone, but for a moment she couldn't find anyone in her mind who matched his face.
Everyone sat together, and Nangong Yu looked at Xu Yuehuai curiously, "Senior Sister, can you show us what you took pictures of?"
Everyone is very curious about what it looks like.
Xu Yuehuai nodded happily and casually tossed the item into Shi Mu's arms. Shi Mu almost jumped up in surprise, "Senior Sister! This is five million spirit stones, be careful not to break it."
Xu Yuehuai: "..."
Let them go, Xu Yuehuai and Ying Ziping found another corner to chat.
After Ying Ziping arrived, Xuan Chi's gaze never left the man, his eyes glued to him.
...
"How did you end up here?" Xu Yuehuai asked the question that she cared about most. Back then, the two of them met in a small town at the bottom of society. She had always thought that Ying Ziping was just a minor official, but now he was telling her that he was someone with a powerful background. She felt that this was a strange and very odd feeling.
