45 Master Bai and The House of the Chaotic Storm! (1/2)
This price of one million and 250 thousand had surely made many bidders back off, but it had also revealed the truly wealthy ones.
Mu Zihe’s face looked like dark water as he shouted, “One million and 300 thousand!”
He could barely hold back the rage in his heart.
[Just now, when I bid for the Crystal Lotus, it was snatched away at the last moment. And now when I bid for the supreme dan bead, somebody wants to snatch it again? Do I look that easy to bully?]
Even a clay figurine could only take so much, let alone an elder of the Mu Clan, one of the eight noble clans!
The girl in white, Xiu-Er, didn’t even bat an eye as she blandly replied, “One million and 350 thousand.”
Mu Zihe looked at her with a sullen look. His eyes were filled with a scary warning as he said, “One million and 400 thousand!”
Xiu-Er was not moved in the least as she calmly said, “ One and a half million!”
The auction grounds were filled with commotion.
It had reached one and a half million already!
The number had already exceeded the final price of the first three supreme dan beads.
Even Ye Xiao who was sitting in the upper floor felt shocked when he heard the price.
He had never imagined that this girl in white was actually that wealthy…
It seemed like the Mu Clan was about to kick against another iron board.
Ye Xiao looked around him.
Faced with such a bold, disrespectful challenge, Mu Zihe couldn’t hold back his fury. He stood up and yelled out loudly, “This woman! This challenge! Are you purposely trying to make the Mu Clan lose face?”
Not long ago, he had been thoroughly humiliated by Feng Zhiling, whose true identity was the owner of the supreme dan beads, and now, Mu Zihe had to forcibly quash his burning desire for revenge. Just as his stomach felt like it was filled to the brim with rage, he was slapped in the face by another unreasonably high price!
All the anger that he had been barely managing to hold back, exploded towards Xiu-Er.
“The Mu Clan? To struggle like this!” Xiu-Er looked at him indifferently and said softly, “This is an auction; we bid for what we want. We’re competing in a fair way. Whoever bids the highest price gets the item. I didn’t think this had anything to do with losing face…”
As she said this, all of the people present thought that the girl was going to back off.
However as Xiu-Er continued speaking, her tone suddenly changed. Coldly, she continued, “But, if this member of the Mu Clan believes that I am purposely humiliating you… Then, let’s just say that it was my intention.”
The underlying meaning of her words was that the prestige of the Mu Clan was worth nothing to her.
Her words made a huge impact on the audience as people were immediately shocked!
That was really… unfathomable.
This girl in white, just who was she?
Was she just bragging? Or was she purposely trying to mystify herself? Or perhaps… Did she really come from a powerful background?
From above, Ye Xiao saw his opportunity and appealed, “Please allow me to advise the lady to be cautious. The Mu Clan is one of the eight noble clans. Before a lady does anything rash, it’d be prudent to think it over. Sometimes, it isn’t unacceptable to take a step back; it’s the Mu Clan after all…”
What he just said seemed well-intentioned.
Moreover, it seemed that he was raising the prestige of the Mu Clan.
Although Mu Zihe was angry with him, but at this moment, he gratefully nodded to show that he accepted the kindness.
The girl in white, Xiu-Er, replied softly, “Don’t worry, brother Feng. I know what I’m doing.”
Ye Xiao worriedly continued, “But… Lady, do you really think so little of the Mu Clan? This is… The Mu Clan is truly powerful. I am afraid that you can’t afford to mess around with them…”
As he finished speaking, everyone turned their suspicious gazes towards him.
This bastard... wasn’t it a little too obvious that he was provoking dissension?
As expected, Xiu-Er smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, brother Feng. In front of me, the prestige of the Mu Clan really isn’t worth even a single penny.”
Ye Xiao rubbed his nose, sat back down and didn’t say anything more.
[That will do… If even such words can’t induce a fight and create mutual hatred, I’ll knock my head against the wall! If these fellows from the Mu Clan don’t crash and burn, it’ll really be a waste of my careful effort in stirring up this conflict…
Fxxking assholes. Since you, the Mu Clan, is this unreasonable and purposely messed with me, then of course I shall create some troubles for you.]
As expected, what the girl in white said was like adding fuel to the fire. Things had already degenerated beyond repair.
[Hmm.] The girl in white thought, [This guy is obviously against the Mu Clan and wants me to pull the trigger. Anyway… since you’re the owner of the supreme dan beads, I’ll show you some respect and go along with your schemes.]
[Besides… this Mu Zihe dared to rebuke me in front of the public. I really should teach him a lesson.] — It had to be said that the hearts of girls were truly difficult to decipher.
After hearing her words, Mu Zihe was quivering in anger. His wrath had already reached its peak as he yelled, “Bxtch! How dare you look down upon the Mu Clan! I swear I will…”
Guan Wanshan naturally knew about the status of the girl, so he couldn’t just sit back and watch anymore. Interrupting Mu Zihe, he spoke hurriedly “Brother Mu…”
Mu Zihe was boiling with anger and snarled, “Guan Wanshan, you’re just a servant in a salesroom. What makes you think you can call me brother! You’re unqualified to open your mouth at the moment!”
He was obviously lost in the flames of his anger and started to bite people like a mad dog.
He had already been pissed off multiple times during his stay in the capital. The Mu Clan had gone for revenge at the beginning, but they had actually failed and they had even lost eight of their expert cultivators. While they had been preparing for their next attempt to settle the revenge, the auction had begun, and because of that, they had struggled to restrain their anger, but their stomachs were filled with dissatisfaction which had not yet abated.
He had been in a bad mood even before the start of the auction.
And when he came to the auction with his son, his son had even embarrassingly stumbled in front of the audience, losing face in front of everyone. Then the owner of the supreme dan beads had humiliated them and snatched all of the sold medicines. Moreover, they had been oppressed by the three major sects all along… He didn’t even dare to consider bidding for the first three dan beads…
And now he was being scorned by a little girl. Mu Zihe completely exploded with anger!
