548 Mysterious Black Stone 5 (1/2)

Men from the Chan Lin Auction House carried the black piece of rock off the stage smiling. Jun Wu Xie paid up the money and would collect the item only after the auction.

Thereafter, the excited atmosphere came back to the auction house. Precious items big and small were brought up onto the stage one after another and wave after wave of intense bidding wars were carried out.

None of the items that were brought out after the rock interested the six companions. The exciting atmosphere brought about by Jun Wu Xie's swift and decisive splurge had died down. People who were waiting to see ”the fool and his money part” once more were left disappointed.

Another hour went by and the auction came to a fulfilling close. Every single item was auctioned off and none remained.

Many people departed satisfied, leaving with their trophies they had won in their arms.

As Jun Wu Xie had won a ”big” item, she had to wait till she was the last one before the men from the auction house carried the Black Jade Stone out.

Accompanying the men, another middle aged man dressed in a brocade robe came towards them.

”Good evening everyone, I am the owner of the Chan Lin Auction House, and my name is He Chang Le. I do not find any of our esteemed customers' faces familiar, is this your first time here at the Chan Lin Auction House?” He Chang Le welcomed the companions with laughter and his eyes smiling as he surveyed the group of extremely good looking youths, with an exceptional air surrounding them.

Jun Wu Xie nodded, seemingly not entirely interested in chatting with He Chang Le.

Undaunted, He Chang Le persisted by saying: ”Since you are our new customers, and your first bid was so generous, as the owner of the Chan Lin Auction House, I would like to gift to you an emblem we reserve only for our most distinguished guests.” As he spoke, Chang Le pulled out a palm sized, gold gilded emblem. Two characters, ”Chan Lin” were carved on the emblem.

”With this emblem, all of you, as our esteemed customers, would be able to gain direct entry to our private rooms when you come back to the Chan Lin Auction House, with no extra charges.”

Jun Wu Xie took one glance at He Chang Le and motioned to Qiao Chu with a wave of her hand. Qiao Chu immediately went forward to accept the emblem.
