100,000?
When the white-clothed youth announced his price, a commotion broke out in the auction house. Such a sum clearly surpassed the estimated price of the Spiritual Array Seed by a long shot.
Eyes shifted between the white-clothed youth and Mu Chen, then to Su Xuan and the other two girls, who currently had angry wolf-like expressions. Then, they understood what was going on.
Most of the people in this auction hall had lived in White Dragon Hillock for quite some time. Of course, they knew that the Young City Lord was very lustful. Who knows how many girls had fallen into his hands over the years? From the looks of it, these three unfamiliar, but beautiful, girls had caught his attention, so he’d purposely stirred matters up.
Mu Chen slightly furrowed his brows. He never thought that the smooth auction might be interrupted by this guy. Mu Chen, himself, also didn’t possess much wealth; even if he tried to compete, he knew he wasn’t going to win.
The white-clothed youth laughed at Mu Chen’s frown, showing off his status as a hedonistic rich-kid.
Su Ling’er’s shapely brows lightly moved. She saw the proud look from that youth. A little Young City Lord of White Dragon City dared to put on an act before her?
“150,000.” Su Ling’er coldly said.
A commotion broke out in the auction house again. Quite a few people were looking over in interest. From the looks of it, this pampered-looking young miss wasn’t someone easy to deal with.
Those from the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction and the Earthen Way Sect also looked over at Mu Chen’s group and showed surprise. Then, the middle-aged man of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction and skinny old man from the Earthen Way Sect stopped their eyes on Su Xuan. They’d clearly sensed her strength.
A trace of astonishment flashed across their eyes. This girl was clearly quite young, but she was already so powerful? These youths definitely weren’t simple.
That white-clothed youth was also dazed for a moment. The eyes that’d been watching the exchange with amusement suddenly flashed with gloom. No one in White Dragon City would dare to go against the Young City Master like that.
“200,000.” He said after glancing back at Su Ling’er.
“250,000.” Su Ling’er added. Her charming eyes were filled with mockery. Now, she’d put him on the stage where he couldn’t back down.
“YOU…!” The youth raged. The moment he let out that furious bark, the grey-clothed elder pressed him on the shoulder.
The grey-clothed elder opened his eyes and said, “Young City Lord, there’s no need to make trouble. They aren’t ordinary people. That girl in white is so powerful that even I might not win. Just let it go. Our target isn’t this Spiritual Array Seed, so, please, don’t make unnecessary trouble; otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to face the City Lord.”
When the white-clothed youth heard the elder’s words, his face changed through several shades of green and red. He never expected to embarrass himself in front of so many people. However, he only nodded, as he didn’t dare to ignore this elder. He then threw a ruthless glance towards Mu Chen’s group, before looking away.
“Hmph, a little Young City Lord of White Dragon City dared to be arrogant before me?” Su Ling’er snorted as she saw how suffocating that youth was acting.
“This price is already a little high.” Mu Chen helplessly smiled. The information on the Spiritual Array Seed wasn’t complete, after all. By spending 250,000 Spirit Coins, he felt like they’d lost a little.
“It’s his fault for having such dirty eyes.” Su Ling’er twisted her lips into a pout, but then smiled, “I’ll gift this Spiritual Array Seed to you. I’m not a Spiritual Array Master, so I won’t have a use for it.”
“Then, you have my thanks. I don’t have the money right now, but I’ll return it to you next time.” Mu Chen didn’t reject the offer as he was still rather interested in this Spiritual Array Seed. He only thought of oweing a favour this time.
“Who asked you to return it? We’re companions, right now, so helping each other is natural.” Su Ling’er said as she rolled her eyes at him.
“What Ling’er said is correct. This Spiritual Array Seed shouldn’t be ordinary. If you can study it, who knows? It might be of huge help to us.” Su Xuan lightly smiled. Her gentle smile moved many hearts around them. A woman like her was considerably outstanding. No wonder even Bai Dong couldn’t endure it.
Mu Chen smiled, nodded, and stayed silent.
The auction continued, but Mu Chen didn’t find anything else interesting after his Spiritual Array Seed, and was slightly disappointed. The three major forces sitting in front of them didn’t buy anything, either. It was clear that they’d each come for a specific target, and it seemed that their targets lied in a similar direction.
The auction gradually wound towards its end; however the atmosphere became increasingly excited. Bi Sheng stood onstage with a full smile on his face as he swept an eye over the three major forces without making it clear that he was looking at them. Then, he retrieved an object from his sleeve with exasperating slowness.
