Chapter Ninety-Eight: Bidding
"Ladies and gentlemen, how do you feel?"
The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, and as he stopped, the ancient long sword in his hand also returned to calm, but the surface became more gray and without a trace of color, as if covered with a curtain.
Mo Liang noticed this detail, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"It's true that I came from a vast place, I really didn't expect that I would be able to see the scene recorded in the book in my lifetime."
"The vast land really exists, oh my God, I can't believe there's anything in it."
The crowd was excited.
At this time, Qiao Shan, who had not spoken, spoke: "Deacon Li, dare to ask how much else you know about the Vast Land?" ”
"Don't dare to deceive Gongzi Qiao." The middle-aged man known as Deacon Li shook his head and said, "I'm just a deacon in this pavilion, I only know that I can only be sure that the vast land really exists, and I am not qualified to know more." ”
"Really?"
Qiao Shan was a little disappointed when he heard this.
"Okay, distinguished guests, don't talk nonsense, this long sword from the vast land is now auctioned, the starting price is one thousand high-grade spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred high-grade spirit stones."
As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of shouts in the field, and soon the price was raised to a staggering price.
"Five thousand high-grade spirit stones."
In the enthusiastic shouting of everyone, a lazy voice sounded again, and it was Xie Lang of the Xie family again.
"Five thousand five hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Qiao Shan also shouted a price.
Xie Lang glanced at him, and said lightly: "Six thousand high-grade spirit stones." ”
"Seven thousand high-grade spirit stones." Qiao Shan also continued to open his mouth to bid.
"Eight thousand."
Xie Lang also continued to bid.
"Nine thousand high-level spirit stones, do you want to continue to follow Brother Xie?"
Qiao Shan gritted his teeth and looked at Xie Lang's location.
"Hahaha." Xie Lang laughed and said, "It seems that Brother Qiao is bound to get this long sword, since this is the case, let it be given to Brother Xie." ”
Qiao Shan's eyelids lowered and said, "Then thank you brother." ”
"Childe, what do you mean by that?"
Behind Qiao Shan, the rugged man asked puzzledly, nine thousand high-grade spirit stones were already more than the value of a Xuan-level spirit soldier.
"Didn't you just spend some more spirit stones?" Qiao Shan really didn't seem to care, but smiled faintly and said: "It's Xiao Yan's birthday in a few days, I, who is an older brother, have never given her any expensive gifts, so this time I will give her this long sword as a gift, and I don't know if she likes it or not." ”
"Mademoiselle will definitely like it."
The rugged man didn't think to reply.
"Haha, hopefully." Qiao Shan laughed.
Inside, the auction is not over yet.
"Gongzi Qiao bid for nine thousand high-grade spirit stones, are there any other distinguished guests who have bid?" Deacon Lee shouted.
Everyone looked at each other, although this long sword came from the legendary vast land, but after all, it was only a Xuan-level long sword, and the nine thousand high-level spirit stones had already exceeded the price of this long sword, and at this time, as long as they were not fools, they would probably not bid.
There is no fool who can sit here, no one wants to be this wronged leader, and don't you see that the second son of the Qiao family is bound to win this long sword, and even Xie Lang gave up bidding with Qiao Shan, although they also have a little wealth, but who can compare to Xie Lang? Besides, they all came to the auction with their own goals, and now that the main target has not yet appeared, they don't want to waste their wealth on such a long sword.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a divine soldier from the Vast Land, if you can get it, maybe you can even get some clues about the Vast Land, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Seeing that everyone didn't seem to have the heart to bid, Deacon Liu seemed to be a little anxious, and hurriedly shouted in the hope of mobilizing the atmosphere in the venue and allowing more people to participate in the bidding.
But the crowd was unmoved, and got a clue about the vast land from this long sword? Are you a liar? If there are really any clues hidden on it, will your Jade Pavilion be willing to take it out for auction? Are you fooling a child by saying this?
Seeing that everyone in the hall was unmoved, Deacon Li sighed in his heart, and was about to announce the winner, when a voice came: "Nine thousand five hundred high-grade spirit stones." ”
There is also drama. Deacon Li perked up, looked at the source of the sound, and saw a young man in a green robe sitting on a chair not far away, and a young girl with a white cat in his arms sitting next to the young man in the green robe, although he didn't know how many beautiful women he had seen, but when he saw the girl next to the young man in the green robe, Deacon Li couldn't help but secretly praise, what a beautiful girl.
But at this moment, Deacon Li's attention was not focused on the girl, but looked at the young man in the green robe, and then said in a loud voice: "This distinguished guest bid 7,500 high-grade spirit stones, is there any other distinguished guest to bid?" ”
Everyone was also attracted by Mo Liang's shouting, and there was really a person who dared to stand up and grab things from Xie and Qiao's sons?
When everyone saw the cold moon beside Mo Liang, their eyes became amazing.
"What a pretty girl, why haven't I seen it before?"
"That's it, it looks like a fairy."
"However, who is that young man beside her, who has the courage to bid with Qiao Gongzi?"
"I don't know, it's probably an outsider, are there still few outsiders in Shangyuan City during this time? It is estimated that it is to pretend to have money in front of the beauty, so I shouted the price in a daze. ”
"I'm still too young, this auction is not about killing and killing, but about human sophistication."
"The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, if he knows the identity of Qiao Gongzi, I am afraid that he will be directly scared to pee his pants, ahhahaha."
As he spoke, there was a burst of laughter from everyone, staring at Mo Liang as if they were watching a good show.
Xie Lang was originally a little drowsy under the service of the woman next to him, and when he heard that someone dared to bid sideways when he let go, his eyes also looked at the place where Mo Liang was, and when he saw the cold moon beside Mo Liang, Xie Lang's eyes lit up, as if he saw his favorite prey.
"Tsk, what a beautiful woman."
Xie Lang licked his lips and snorted.
"Oh, I hate it, you see that people's hands are sour, you don't care about other people, you just stare at other women."
Seeing that Xie Lang's eyes had been staring at Leng Yue and refusing to move away, the woman who had been pinching his shoulders for him snorted dissatisfiedly, and looked at Leng Yue with a strong sense of jealousy.
"Huh?"
Xie Lang frowned, and his gaze at the woman suddenly became cold, under his gaze, the woman's delicate body trembled, only feeling cold all over, covering her mouth and not daring to say a word again.
Too lazy to look at this woman again, Xie Lang stared at Mo Liang and Leng Yue, turned his head and asked the people behind him, "Have you seen these two?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen it.
Seeing that everyone shook their heads, knowing that Mo Liang and the others were not from Shangyuan City, Xie Lang nodded slightly and leaned back on the chair, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Leng Yue beside Mo Liang, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, hearing Mo Liang shouting the price of seven thousand five hundred high-grade spirit stones, Qiao Shan was also a little surprised, he thought that it should be a sure thing to win this long sword without Xie Lang's bidding, but he didn't expect to be stabbed sideways when he was about to succeed.
Although there was some surprise, Qiao Shan was not discouraged, but continued to shout: "Nine thousand six hundred high-grade spirit stones." ”
"Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Mo Liang shouted out this price with an unchanged face, as if what he shouted was not a price, but just a number.
Qiao Shan's palms clenched, his face was a little ugly, and then he took a deep breath, showed a wry smile on his face, shook his head and sighed: "That's it." ”
10,000 high-level spirit stones have exceeded his bottom line, it's not that he can't take it out, but if he takes out 10,000 high-level spirit stones, let's not say whether the other party will increase the price again, even if the other party doesn't increase the price and give it to himself, his financial resources will be stretched, which is not conducive to the competition for the auction items behind.
Therefore, even if Qiao Shan was unwilling, he could only shake his head and chose to give up the competition.
"10,000 high-grade spirit stones once, 10,000 high-grade spirit stones twice, 10,000 high-grade spirit stones three times, become..."
"Wait."
Just as Deacon Li was about to loudly announce the winner of the auction, Xie Lang's voice sounded in the venue.
Deacon Li's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Xie Lang suspiciously, "Gongzi Xie, is this?" ”
Xie Lang smiled faintly, his eyes stared at Mo Liang and said, "This friend can shout out the price of 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, which is really surprising to my son, but I don't know if this friend can take out so many high-grade spirit stones?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that they had never seen this young man who shouted the price, and he was not a member of the three major families, so he must be an outsider, and 10,000 high-level spirit stones were enough to be comparable to the entire wealth of some Bapin families, could this young man in front of him really take out so many spirit stones?
Seeing everyone's gaze, Mo Liang's face remained unchanged, while Leng Yue's pretty face tightened slightly, and she said in a low voice: "What should I do?" ”
Of course, she knew that let alone 10,000 high-level spirit stones, even if it was a high-level spirit stone, the two of them couldn't take it out now, so in the face of everyone's questioning eyes, Leng Yue looked a little cramped and uneasy.
Deacon Li was only concerned about setting off the atmosphere before, but when he heard Xie Lang's words at this moment, he also realized that something was wrong, so his eyes also looked at Mo Liang, and he hesitated for a moment: "This son, please also come up with enough spirit stones to prove your financial resources, otherwise this pavilion can only think that you are maliciously raising the price and deliberately disrupting the order of the auction." ”
In the end, Deacon Li's tone also became a little cold.
For a while, the atmosphere in the venue became a little subtle, faintly revealing a sense of tension.
Before Mo Liang could speak, a giggle sound sounded in the empty seat behind Mo Liang, and then a soft and charming woman's voice sounded: "Giggles, what a tense atmosphere, making the slave family feel uncomfortable." ”
Hearing this voice, everyone in the venue felt a wave in their hearts, only to feel that their hearts were tickling like a cat's claw, and they all looked neatly at the position behind Mo Liang, only to see a woman wearing a purple long skirt and a light veil sitting on the originally idle seat, the woman's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her long hair was tied behind her head, and a hosta was inserted in the bun, and two crystal jade beads fell at the bottom of the hosta.
Although she is sitting on the seat, the woman's figure also looks concave and convex, especially a pair of jade legs, which look particularly slender and straight against the backdrop of the light.
"Uh, Pavilion Master, why are you here?"
When Deacon Li saw the woman in purple, he was surprised and hurriedly bowed down.
The woman in purple is the pavilion master of the Jade Pavilion in Shangyuan City, Qiu Ziyan.
