Chapter 794 what is called truly wealthy and imposing
"One million for the first time, one million for the second time, one million for the third time, sold." Che Xiang didn’t want any complications and quickly slammed down the auction hammer.If he hadn’t guessed wrong, there must have been something fishy about this True Profound Meridian Transformation Pill. It was very likely that the Mo Family had sent someone to damage the reputation of Nanyan Commerce. Mu Hanyan made an early move precisely to maintain the honor of the Chamber of Commerce.
As for spending several million on a bunch of miscellaneous weeds and Waste Pills, he didn’t care at all. The branch had just opened, and reputation was the most important thing; several million was really nothing.
Seeing his plan thwarted again by Mu Hanyan, Mo Yanhong was a bit irate and made a subtle signal to the crowd.
"Chairman Che, I have a set of Cultivation Technique that I would like to request your Chamber of Commerce to auction on my behalf. This technique is called the Water Moon Skills, and it is..."
"One million, I’ll take it." Before he could finish speaking, Mu Hanyan stood up and declared.
All the people below were baffled. What on earth was Mu Hanyan trying to do?
"One million for the first time, one million for the second time, one million for the third time, sold." Che Xiang didn’t even bother with small talk anymore and couldn’t wait to just smash down the auction hammer.
"I have a Senluo Life Returning Pill here that I want to..."
"One million."
"One million for the first time, one million for the... sold."
"I also have a stalk of Green Feather Phoenix Leaf Grass here..."
"One million."
"... Sold."
...
The crowd below had long been dumbfounded. In the following items, whether they were strange flowers and herbs or the Secret Manual, or even Spirit Pills and Miracle Medicine, in short, Big Playboy Mu would just say three words, one million, let alone asking Ji Gaoxian to appraise them, he himself didn’t even bother to take a closer look.
Alright, we know the Mu Family is rich, we know you’re the number one playboy of Heishi City, we know you’re Mu Baijia, but even a playboy shouldn’t squander money like this, at least take a longer look at the items, right?
Everyone could tell that Mu Hanyan was not there to cause trouble. It was very simple, her bids were way above the normal price, and even if she had no background, nobody would want to compete with her.
Was she there to support the Nanyan Commerce? Many people guessed this point, but it still seemed a bit confusing. If she was there to support the auction, why keep interrupting and not let the auction proceed smoothly?
"Right, I heard that this Nanyan Commerce has some grudges with the Mo Family. Those few who were bidding on behalf of the Elixirs and Cultivation Techniques just now, seem to have some dealings with the Mo Family, right?" Some quick-witted individuals glanced at Mo Yanhong and made insinuating remarks.
"Are you saying that those people came to..." The speaker trailed off, yet the listeners found their eyes lighting up.
"Maybe, Mu Hanyan really is here to bolster Nanyan Commerce." Someone said mysteriously. The response was a bunch of eye rolls. It was obvious, if he could guess it, so could everyone else; it was just that nobody said it out loud.
"Mu Hanyan, what on earth do you want?" Mo Yanhong’s carefully planned scheme was one by one destroyed by Mu Hanyan, which caused him to become furious.
"What I want to do, what does it have to do with you? Everyone else at Nanyan Commerce hasn’t said anything, yet you’re the one running your mouth. What, do you also want to bid? Fine, I’ll give you a chance. The items are all here; just name your price if you want them. Don’t whine if you don’t have the money!" Mu Hanyan looked at Mo Yanhong with contempt. She then pulled out a stack of silver notes, fluttering them with a rustling sound.
Originally, she had over ten million on her, and when she left Heishi City, Mu Nan had sent her another ten million plus. Combined, she now had just over thirty million—Lady Mu was now genuinely a small wealthy mistress.
Seeing the thick stack of silver notes in Lady Mu’s hands, everyone around started sweating profusely.
No wonder Big Playboy Mu also had a reputation as Mu Baijia, carrying tens of millions of silver notes on him, grabbing and throwing them at people so casually—if he wasn’t squandering his wealth, then who was?
Of course, amidst their profuse sweating, what they felt even more was envy: others may squander their wealth, but the key is they had the capital to do so. If it were an average person, they’d want to but couldn’t afford to be wasteful.
Mo Yanhong was obviously stimulated by Mu Hanyan. The sound of the silver notes being tossed around was loud and crisp, feeling as if they were slapping his face, causing a stinging pain.
"Dare to say this Young Master has no money..." Mo Yanhong trembled with anger and suddenly sprang up.
"Calm down, Young Master, keep your cool," Tributor Qiu quickly pulled him back down and covered his mouth.
"Young Master, you know exactly what those items are worth, why bother competing with him in this manner?" Tributor Qiu said to Mo Yanhong using the Gathering Qi Transmission.
Mo Yanhong calmed down upon hearing these words. Others may not know, but how could he be unaware of the facts? Getting angry with Mu Hanyan over a bunch of Waste Pills and miscellaneous herbs— it just wasn’t worth it.
Mo Yanhong snorted coldly, simply turning his head away and refusing to look at Mu Hanyan’s face anymore.
Mu Hanyan felt a bit disappointed. She had taken out this pile of silver notes, not to show off, but to provoke Mo Yanhong and trick him again. Who could have known that he would manage to suppress his temper?
By now, even a fool could see that something was fishy. With the Mo Family playboy’s temperament, to get money slapped in his face without fighting back, there was only one possibility—he already knew there was something wrong with these auction items.
Manager Zhou looked at Mu Hanyan gratefully. If it hadn’t been for Mu Hanyan’s intervention today, the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce might have had a bad start, possibly getting tricked by Mo Yanhong so thoroughly they wouldn’t know east from west.
And since the conflict between the Mo Family and Nanyan Chamber of Commerce started because of him, his gratitude towards Mu Hanyan was even stronger.
However, the fact that Mu Hanyan had spent hundreds of millions for no reason still made him quite uneasy. So, he personally served tea and water, even more respectfully than before, making Mu Hanyan feel a bit embarrassed.
Afterward, someone else asked the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce to auction a few Elixirs, but influenced by Mu Hanyan and Mo Yanhong, the atmosphere was far from as lively as before.
However, Chairman Che wasn’t in a hurry, giving a meaningful glance to a guard.
The guard understood and quickly walked towards the VIP rooms. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovєlFіre.net
"Chairman Che, this old man also has an item that I would like your Chamber of Commerce to auction." Just when the auction was becoming dull and everyone thought it would come to an end, an elderly man slowly walked towards the auction stage.
The old man wore a simple, clean robe, his face was clear and bright, his eyes radiated a divine light, and he had an ethereal aura, naturally eliciting respect from those around him.
"Who is this person?" someone asked curiously.
"Not sure, but he looks like he’s someone important."
"Did you see the large wooden chest he’s carrying on his back? It seems familiar—I think I’ve heard about it somewhere," someone else mused.
"Could it be, could it be..." After hearing this, everyone’s gaze landed on the large wooden chest the elder was carrying, and they were simultaneously shocked.
"May I ask the esteemed elder for your name?" Chairman Che asked respectfully.
"This old man is called Xuanyuan Fengchen," the elder replied calmly.
Hearing the exchange between the two, Mu Hanyan wanted to laugh. She had seen Chairman Che and Xuanyuan Fengchen having a private meeting just before, aware that their questions and answers were nothing but an act.
But she couldn’t bring herself to laugh. With this old man making an entrance, things were about to get a bit complicated.
