Chapter 695 - Im Not Used to Spending Womens Money (1/2)

Qin Haodong considered the idea carefully several times and thought that it could work. Then he turned back to the room and said to the two girls, “Do you know where the auction house is in the capital? The bigger the better. I’m going to sell something.”

He had just arrived in the capital and was not familiar with the situation here. But the two girls were locals and they should know where the biggest auction house was.

Seeing that he was looking for an auction house, Wei Yanran immediately misunderstood him. She thought that he had to sell some items in order to prepare funds for the elopement.

She was moved and said, “You don’t have to do this. I have enough money for us to live together.”

As the eldest daughter of the Wei family, she had never been short of pocket money. She had saved about tens of millions over the past years.

Qin Haodong was stunned at first, but he soon understood what she was thinking about. He said with a smile, “Just keep your money. I’m not used to spending women’s money.”

Hua Mingrui said, “My uncle runs an auction house and it’s also the largest one in the capital. It’s called the Treasure-gathering Auction House. I can take you there if you want to sell something.”

“That’s great.”

Qin Haodong was excited to hear that it was the largest auction house in the capital. Only such a big house could attract the disciples from the Seven Great Families. The pills may not attract any buyers in an ordinary auction house.

He said, “I want to sell some pills, but I don’t want anyone to know who I am.”

He had just decided that the auction must be kept a secret before he announced the secret of the alien monsters.

Otherwise, the Seven Great Families of the capital would be suspicious if they knew that the pills were made by him. They would not even offer to buy them.

After all, those pills which could improve their cultivation were precious and they would not sell them no matter how much money they could get.

“It’s easy to keep it a secret. I’m quite familiar with the housekeeper and I just need to tell him.”

Hua Mingrui said, “But I don’t think you need to sell those pills. The painting you’ve just made could be sold at a sky-high price on the market.”

When she finished speaking, Wei Yanran suddenly held the painting tightly and said nervously, “This painting is mine. I can’t sell it. I won’t sell it no matter how expensive it is.”

She had already regarded it as a love token given by Qin Haodong, which was even more important than her life. She would never sell it.

Hua Mingrui smiled and said, “You silly girl, we’re not going to sell that one. Haodong is good at drawing and he can just paint one more and then sell it.”

Qin Haodong shook his head with a wry smile and said, “I can make paintings of Painting Meaning, but it’s quite hard for me. It’s different from drawing ordinary painting scrolls. I need inspiration.”

He was not lying. The reason why he was able to draw this painting was that he had been inspired by Wei Yanran’s beautiful smile. He couldn’t make similar works without the inspiration.

“Sorry, I am too impatient.”

Hua Mingrui smiled apologetically and then said, “I believe that your works can also be sold at a high price even if it doesn’t have the Painting Meaning.”

Qin Haodong could actually make a few paintings and sell them if he just wanted to earn some money. But he still needed to help the Seven Great Families to improve their cultivation. Therefore, selling pills was his best choice.

“I think art is priceless. Pills can cure diseases and save lives. It’s a better option.”

Hua Mingrui looked embarrassed and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mr. Qin. It’s a bad idea.”

Then she glanced at the clock on the wall and said, “My uncle will be holding a large-scale auction today and it’s all high-quality items. It will start at nine o’clock in the evening. It’s almost time. Let’s hurry up.”

Five minutes later, Qin Haodong and the other two walked out of the tea house together. Wei Yanran took his arm naturally. She felt very much at ease with him.

According to Hua Mingrui’s request, Qin Haodong wore a big hat and a large pair of sunglasses. No one would recognize him if they did not look too closely at him.

Wei Yanran was not aware of his real identity yet and she had been planning to elope, so she had made some changes to her clothes. She was wearing Hua Mingrui’s clothes and a pair of sunglasses.

The three of them came to the Treasure-gathering Auction House, which was definitely the largest one in the capital. It was much bigger than the one in Shanghai.

The security guards here were very familiar with Hua Mingrui and they directly let them in without making too many inquiries.

She went backstage and went straight to Wu Mufeng, the manager in charge of the auction.

Wu Mufeng asked her politely, “Miss, welcome here. Are you here to look for any interesting items?”

“I’m not here to buy things, I’m here to sell something.” Hua Mingrui pointed to Qin Haodong and said, “My friend wants to sell something at our auction.”

Wu Mufeng said, “No problem. What do you want to sell?”

Qin Haodong took out the Big Strengthening Pills, Energy-gathering Pills and Spirit Culturing Pills, one by one and then said, “Please help me sell these three types of pills. But you have to follow my orders.”

Then he gave him some instructions about the auction method.

Wu Mufeng asked, “Which famous master made these pills?”

Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “It’s a secret, all you need to do is to sell them.”

“Well…”
