Chapter 103 - Ambergris (1/2)
The words caused every disciple at the scene to be stunned, and glance toward Qin Nan at the same time.
They never expected Qin Nan to speak at that instant; Isn’t he worried about offending Nangong Cheng?
A cold flash flickered in Nangong Cheng’s eyes.
Meanwhile, Old Zhang frowned his eyebrows; he did not anticipate any outer disciple to go against Nangong Cheng’s will, as he calmly said, “This disciple, I’m sorry, as your bid is one step late, this Seven-Colored Flower belongs to Nangong Cheng.”
It was evident that Old Zhang was being partial through his words.
Firstly, he had no idea who Qin Nan was, and secondly, he had the intention to fawn upon Nangong Cheng, thus using his authority, he declared the ownership of the item straight away.
“Is it?” Qin Nan’s expression remained calm as he said, “If I want this Seven-Colored Flower, it doesn’t matter who’s here today, it’ll still be mine.”
After hearing these words, the disciples were dumbfounded, as they did not think Qin Nan would be so scornful.
“You!”
Old Zhang became furious after hearing these words; as the Master of Ceremonies of the outer disciple auction, this was his first time meeting such an arrogant disciple.
“Old Zhang, there’s no need to be mad.” At that moment, Nangong Cheng began to speak, still with a calm tone, “Since this Junior Brother wants to compete with me, then let him be. I’m interested to see the price he’s able to bid.”
The disciples were stunned, before their hearts were filled with excitement. Nangong Cheng had finally decided to deal with Qin Nan.
Old Zhang held back the flames of anger in his heart as he let out a hollow laugh, with no intention of concealing his disdain toward Qin Nan, as he said, “Nangong Cheng bid fifty thousand Xiantian Pills, what’s your price?”
As everyone knew, Nangong Cheng was ranked top among the outer disciples, and was heavily focused on by the Great Elder of the outer domain. His wealth was unmatched by the other outer disciples.
Who does this eighth-layer Body Tempering Realm guy think he is, to have the right to compete with Nangong Cheng?
“Why do I need to bid?” Qin Nan glanced toward Old Zhang and said, “I already told you that if I’m fond of this Seven-Colored Flower, then it belongs to me. It doesn’t matter how much someone bid, because it will still be mine.”
Everyone was left speechless on the spot, including Nangong Cheng.
According to Qin Nan’s words, does he mean he’s going to get the Seven-Colored Flower for free without him bidding?
What a joke, this is the outer disciple auction. One must definitely pay to get any piece of treasure from this auction!
“HAHA, this Junior Brother has quite a sense of humor.” Nangong Cheng collected his thoughts and burst out laughing, “If you’re unable to afford the price, then please don’t disturb. Of course, if you appear to have enough pills, you’re always welcome to compete.”
Within the smile, Nangong Cheng instinctively displayed his ignorance toward Qin Nan.
Even though Qin Nan was someone who ranked first in the Trial of Versatility, who even achieved one thousand steps, and killed a higher ranked super genius, he was still utterly mismatched against Nangong Cheng.
Old Zhang let out a cold “hmph”, and said, “Hey you, if you dare to interrupt again, I’ll treat it as offending the rules. You will be banned from attending any outer domain auction for the rest of your life.”
In Old Zhang’s eyes, Qin Nan had become a poverty-stricken idiot trying to get the attention of the crowd.
Trying to get the Seven-Colored Flower for free? No f**king way, only possible in his dreams!
However, at that instant, a white-haired old man went toward the stage in a hurried pace.
Upon seeing this old man, Old Zhang’s expression changed slightly, as he said in a respectful tone, “Elder, you’re here.”
This white-haired old man was the elder in charge of the auction
The disciples were confused after seeing this, Why is the elder here?
Meanwhile, the white-haired elder whispered a few sentences into Old Zhang’s ear, which caused the latter’s face to twist thoroughly, as countless cold sweat formed on his forehead.
Old Zhang took a deep breath, before glancing toward Qin Nan. The previous disdainful and scornful expression in his eyes was gone, replaced with a hint of respect as he said, “Qin… Junior Brother Qin Nan, pardon my ignorance, not knowing your identity beforehand. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. This Seven-Colored Flower, as you mentioned, if you want it then it’s yours, without needing to pay.”
