"Of course it's necessary! Anything my junior sister likes is worth it! Two hundred and five Heavenly Spirit Jade!"
This price even exceeds that of the original Dragon Marrow.
The onlookers were already numb with shock, and could only manage a dry, sarcastic comment: "To win a smile from a beauty, the young master spent a fortune! Extravagant! Absolutely extravagant!"
What a waste of money! So incredibly wasteful!
The other room finally stopped raising the price, and Liu Jinghong won the bid for the phoenix hairpin. It was carried into their private room on a tray, covered with a red cloth.
When the second item was brought out, Liu Jinghong turned to ask Chu Hongluan for her opinion.
Seeing that Chu Hongluan only nodded, he immediately began to bid.
This time it was a bottle of beauty pills, of so-so quality, but the female cultivator in the opposite room seemed to be deliberately trying to outdo him, always managing to beat him by one point.
Liu Jinghong began to show signs of difficulty after bidding only halfway through.
He opened his mouth as if to say something but then hesitated.
"Why isn't the price going up, senior brother?"
Upon seeing this, Li Fugui and Wang Zhaocai immediately understood that the young master didn't have enough money with him!
Both men were cunning and shrewd; they had originally intended to skim some profits off the young master. But now that the young master was in dire straits, there was no way they could get anything out of him. They had to find a way to maximize their own gains, right?
Moreover, they had previously displeased the young master, and they were worried about where to gain his favor.
The young master is now in a difficult situation. If we step in to help him out, wouldn't that earn us a huge boost in goodwill?
Moreover, the money is being spent for the young master and for this Miss Chu. This Miss Chu might very well be the future young mistress. If we can make a good impression on her, how could we not rise to prominence in the future?!
"Ahem, look at my eye for talent! The young master is giving us two a chance to apologize! Five thousand high-grade spirit stones!" Li Fugui slammed his hand on the table and loudly bid with boundless enthusiasm!
"Five thousand and one high-grade spirit stones."
It was the same female voice from the other side.
In the end, Li Fugui bought the bottle of beauty pills for six thousand high-grade spirit stones.
But Li Fugui and Wang Zhaocai never expected that Chu Hongluan would show great interest in every item that was auctioned off afterward, and even look at them with a tender and expectant gaze, resting her chin on her hand.
They were so engrossed in watching that they almost lost their minds. In a moment of passion, they no longer cared whether the item was worth the price. They wanted to see things through to the end, and giving up halfway would make their "good intentions" seem cheap.
But as the auction progressed past the halfway point, the female cultivator opposite had long since withdrawn from the competition, and the situation quietly changed.
Li Fugui, Wang Zhaocai.
Ultimately, it's two people.
If you are outmatched by the other party now, wouldn't you be outmatched by the other party for the rest of your life?
Thus, the situation changed from "the two of them working together to bid against the female cultivator opposite them" to "the two of them bidding against each other" as the alcohol took effect, with almost every item sold for a price far exceeding its original value.
They even started looking at each other with hostility, as if they wanted to spark a fire.
By the time the auction ended, the two had spent all the spirit stones and jade they had on them, and even had to buy fifty or so pieces of Heavenly Spirit Jade on credit.
Stepping out of Jubaolou, a gust of cold wind sobered me up.
Weren't they... going there to make some extra money?
But now, they've lost even their underwear.
Although their clan has some wealth, they are not a family that can easily produce fifty or so pieces of Heavenly Spirit Jade!
If Jubaolou (a real estate agency) were to come to your home to collect debts...
It's over! My life is over!
When I turned around again, the young master's carriage had already rumbled away into the distance.
In the end, he could only force himself to comfort himself: It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. As long as we follow the young master, why should we care about this little bit of money? They will only get much, much more in the future!
Even if I go back and am punished by my family or forced to kneel in the ancestral hall, it doesn't matter!
Fortune changes every thirty years, so never underestimate a young person's potential!
One day, they will show those snobbish people in the clan what it means for fortune to change!
But Li Fugui and Wang Zhaocai didn't expect that before they even got home, Jubaolou had already collected all the money they owed, and made it clear that they had angered Tianjige and would never be able to make a living in the entire Southern Region again.
As a result, the Li and Wang families sent their guards out to beat the two men up and send them home, cut off all their cultivation resources, remove them from their master families, and send them to a remote manor overnight, forbidding them from ever returning to their master families again!
Li Fugui suffered the most. After returning home, he felt a terrible headache, as if something was churning inside him. Coupled with the physical and emotional blows from his family, he couldn't withstand the long journey and died on the way to the manor.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
At this moment, Liu Jinghong and Chu Hongluan were happily counting the pile of magical artifacts and pills they had obtained for free.
This trip was free, but the harvest was plentiful.
The phoenix hairpin originally belonged to Chu Hongluan, so the proceeds from the auction should rightfully go to Chu Hongluan, with Jubaolou receiving 30% according to the rules. However, Chen Si did not take a single penny; this is a matter of social etiquette.
After returning home, Chu Hongluan gave all these miscellaneous toys to Song Nanhe and Qiao Yue, keeping only a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants.
This jade pendant can be divided into two parts, a female pendant and a male pendant.
If two people each hold one pendant and appear within a mile of each other, the female and male pendants will simultaneously sense the heat and begin to heat up. The heat will increase as the distance between them decreases.
Until the two were within three steps of each other.
Chu Hongluan vaguely felt that this thing might come in handy.
On the eve of their departure for the Northern Region, Chu Hongluan visited Chunxiao again. She was still unconscious, but her complexion had improved considerably.
Chu Hongluan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"I'll come see you again when I get back."
Just as she turned to leave, Gu Chunxiao's long, delicate eyelashes trembled very slightly.
......
It's another morning.
In the light mist of dawn, the young people were all dressed and ready to go.
The enormous cloud boat was anchored in mid-air, its two rows of huge oars moving slowly and steadily.
"Board the ship!!"
"yes!!!"
The cloud boat sets sail, churning up eddies, breaking through the late spring winds, and crashing into the first rays of dawn.
......
The disciples, who had never seen the world before, wandered around inside the cloud boat, occasionally letting out long exclamations of wonder.
They were then excited to discover that the cloud boat not only had a chess and card room to pass the time, but also a lot of beautiful fruits.
It's pink, crystal clear, and exceptionally attractive.
Wow! To be able to eat such beautiful fruit while traveling so far away is such a blessing!
Qiao Yue happily rushed over first, picked up the fruit and took a bite.
The happy expression on her face froze for a moment, but only for a moment, before it became even more radiant with happiness.
"It's so delicious! Dazhuang, come quick! There's fruit to eat!"
