44 Name A Price (1/2)
It was practically daylight robbery! Unfortunately, the price had been stated clearly even though nobody would deny that it felt wrong.
The hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could have been heard. Everyone held their breaths as they were interested to see how the saint would react.
It was very rare to see Gu Xixi become angry. She paused for a while and then she smiled sweetly and said, ”Alright, I’ll pay 80,000 to take a look at it!”
Though she was beautiful, she usually did not smile. That smile of hers was like the blooming of the first flower, and the whole hall seemed to have brightened up some of the other bidders had been petrified by her smile.
Even the twelfth prince, Rong Yan, was stunned by her beautiful smile though he had two beautiful ladies by his side. He felt that he was willing to do anything just to make her smile again.
Nonetheless, the childe was insensible to her and was unwilling to even give in to such a beauty, making sure that he had received every ounce of silver that asked for.

He was serious when he said that he would only allow her to look and soon enough ”Pat!”, he closed the cover, ”Alright, you have already looked.”
Gu Xixi was speechless again, ”…” Her beautiful face suddenly turned pale. She took a deep breath and asked, ”Sir, how much are you willing to sell this illusion weed for? Name your price!”
With her words alone, she had proved that the illusion weed had indeed been aged for 3,000 years and everyone was shocked! Numerous admirations were suddenly being showered upon childe…
A purplish shadow flashed by and Rong Chu was seen flying down, ”Xixi, did you see it clearly?”
Gu Xixi nodded, ”Yes! A 10-year-old illusion weed has eight leaves facing each other. Each leaf is round and is red in color. On the other hand, a 3,000-year-old illusion weed has 10 leaves facing each other. Each leaf is as red as the color of the heart but their petioles are shaped like a crescent and are whitish in color…”
She was a professional in the medical field and with the amount of knowledge she possessed on medical herbs, she only needed to take one look to differentiate each herb and had never made a single mistake before.
