Chapter 38 - A Stupendous Sum (1/2)

While Lin Yun was considering whether he should offer a price, the young Lord of the Yuns was sitting in a room on the first floor, listening to his underling’s report.

“Sir, the results have come back. The seller of the golden horn is Lin Yun, who was wearing the customized clothing of the Qingyun Sect.”

“Qingyun Sect?!”

The young gentleman’s face turned sullen immediately at the moment he heard these two words, “Where is he right now?”

The guard answered respectfully, “He is staying in Room 17 on the opposite side. Besides, it was also him who bought the Blood Activating Elixir in the first auction.”

The identity of buyer was supposed to be confidential, and only known by the auctioneers. However, given his identity, nothing could be hidden from the young Lord of the Yuns.

After all, the esteemed Yuns, and the other three families have control over the entire Baishui city, which is a fact that even the owner of the auction house has come to dread.

“Lin Yun? No wonder it sounds familiar.”

With the corner of his mouth curved upwards slightly, the young Lord of the Yuns said to himself in a low voice, “The last time when we were in the Hengyun Mountains, I couldn’t give you a lesson. But now we can really have some fun here in Baishui city.”

At this moment, Qiu Shui, who was standing on the auction block, repeated with anxious in her eyes, “The starting price is 800 inferior spiritual stones. Anyone?”

“810 inferior spiritual stones.”

Suddenly, a voice broke the deadlock. Qiu Shui looked in the direction of that voice immediately.

“Haha, again! Our guest in Room 17 offered his price for this Ancient Sword Box. You won’t regret this!”

“Thank god this one won’t pass.” Qiu Shui smiled at the thought of this.

As if her tears would drop at any time, her watery eyes that was fixed on Room 17 swayed people’s minds.

And Lin Yun rubbed his nose while wondering, “Did I offer too much just now?” For the auctioneer’s facial expression led to his second thoughts.

All the warriors were shocked. With a glint of mockery in their eyes, none of them thought there would be someone willing to buy it at a high price.

“810 inferior spiritual stones once, 810 inferior spiritual stones twice, and sold! Congratulations to our guest…”

“Wait!”

“I’d like to offer one thousand six hundred inferior spiritual stones for this Ancient Sword Box.”

At the moment when the auctioneer was about to announce the result, someone suddenly offered a doubled price.

With a surprised look, Qiu Shui was wild with joy and then she hastened to look at the person who offered the price just now, “I was wondering who could be so generous, and it turns out to be the young Lord of the Yuns!”

The young Lord of the Yuns?

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment but soon he found himself taken aback by the fact that this young Lord could survive the hunting of of raging herd of bulls.

“Hey, bastard! You will get nothing today as long as I’m here!”

Sitting in the room, the young Lord said coldly, with anger directly aimed at Lin Yun in his voice.

All the people, who had been wondering who would offer such a high price, now understood.

It seemed that the young Lord of the Yuns was trying to humiliate Lin Yun with the high price he offered.

“Three thousand inferior spiritual stones.”

However, to everyone’s surprise, Lin Xin offered a higher price again as soon as the young Lord offered his.

It never occurred to Qiu Shui that someone would offer such a high price for this Ancient Sword Box. After confirming, she grinned from ear to ear, “The guest in Room 17 offered 3000 inferior spiritual stones. Do I hear a higher price?”

“Damn it!”

Now it was the young Lord’s turn to feel ashamed with his ears burning as if slapped because of his outrageous statement that Lin Yun would get nothing.

And then, Lin Yun immediately offered a price that was almost twice as much.

Gritting his teeth, the young Lord of the Yuns was about to offer his price again. But he was stopped by his guard.

“Please don’t, sir!”

“Remember the delegation of the Ziyan Sect. Our target is the Bloody Flame Bone. We need to keep the stones for our mission.”

The guard reminded him in earnest words and with good intentions.

Therefore, the young Lord suppressed his impulsion to bid again unwillingly at the thought of the alarming Ziyan Sect.

“It seems that no one could offer a price more than 3000 inferior spiritual stones. How about you, sir?”

Qiu Lan blinked and looked at the young Lord as if asking him whether he would still live up to his words.

The young Lord’s face turned red with anger. With his hands clenched tightly, he turned a deaf ear to her.

“Congratulations! This gentleman got the ancient sword box at the price of 3000 inferior spiritual stones.”

Qiu Shui announced the deal and sighed secretly to herself with pity that she would have made a larger profit if the stupid young Lord kept losing his mind.

Of course, the 3000 inferior spiritual stones were enough to lift Qiu Shui’s spirit.

Almost ten minutes later, two strong men lifted the sword box and sent it to Lin Yun’s Room 17.

The steward in black who came along said with a polite smile, “Mr Lin, here is your sword box.”

Lin Yun nodded slightly and replied, “You can take out the spiritual stones from the sale proceeds of my golden horn.”
