The people from Dan Pavilion dared not make a sound.
The host on stage was also quite surprised, but for him, it was good news.
After all, if the Eternal Love necklace had been auctioned off to Chu Xuan, their auction would have been a complete loss, and it wasn't certain whether the people from Dan Pavilion would have rembered their kindness.
Now that Mu Jinyu had bid fifty million, although the auction house wouldn't make much profit, at least they wouldn't lose money.
The host suppressed his excitent, not daring to let Chu Xuan and the others notice, he gripped the gavel and called out, "The gentleman at position number thirteen has bid fifty million, is there a higher offer? If not, fifty million once..."
No one made a sound.
"Fifty million twice!"
"Fifty million three tis!"
"Bang!"
With a final strike, the host excitedly announced:
"Sold for fifty million, congratulations to this gentleman!"
There was a sporadic round of applause from the venue.
Soon after, a staff mber approached Mu Jinyu to complete the transaction.
Quickly, Mu Jinyu swiped his card, and the Eternal Love necklace that Wen Rou had liked, was now in his hands.
The next item up for auction was a book of fist technique, and as Mu Jinyu listened to the host's introduction, he knew it was nothing special, so he paid it no mind, allowing others to fight over it. His gaze softly turned to Wen Rou and he whispered, "Co, Xiaorou, let put it on for you."
"Alright."
Wen Rou nodded gently, feeling a bit shy, but her delicate and pretty face radiated with happiness.
Mu Jinyu carefully placed the necklace around Wen Rou's neck, finding that her slender and fair neck, as graceful as a swan's, beca even more elegant and refined.
The heart-shaped pendant hanging in front of Wen Rou's chest highlighted her exquisite collarbone, making it even more enchanting.
Others who were surreptitiously watching them beca montarily spellbound by Wen Rou's appearance.
Seeing Wen Rou with the Eternal Love necklace, they felt it transford her aura completely, as if Cinderella had just put on crystal slippers to attend the ball, turning into a noble princess.
The Dan Pavilion girl who had always coveted the Eternal Love necklace saw Wen Rou's transformation and couldn't help but want to grind her teeth in frustration.
Then she realized she was already toothless.
And stomped her feet in a fit of pique!
She was extrely irritated!
Wen Rou paid no attention to the gazes of others. She pulled out a small mirror to see how she looked with the Eternal Love necklace, then tucked it back into her purse. The look she gave Mu Jinyu was filled with tender and loving waves, the warmth and affection in her eyes almost spilling out.
Then, unable to restrain her excitent any longer, she leaned in towards Mu Jinyu and initiated a passionate kiss.
Feeling the delightful touch, Mu Jinyu was also surprised, for this was the first ti Wen Rou had been so proactive.
And in front of others, no less.
Suddenly, Mu Jinyu felt that his money was well spent!
The toothless girl, watching this scene, trembled with cold rage, then turned to Chu Xuan and whispered fiercely, "Senior brother, I want this dog couple dead!"
Chu Xuan, also wary of being overheard by Mu Jinyu and his company, cast a resentful glance at Mu Jinyu and spoke in a hushed tone, "Don't worry, uncle master and the others will be here soon, and when they arrive, we will make sure they wish they were dead!"
Mu Jinyu was aware of several malicious glares directed at him, but he didn't care, lost in his tender monts with Wen Rou.
Soon, Wen Rou and Mu Jinyu pulled away from their kiss. Wen Rou was slightly shy, but she still clung tightly to Mu Jinyu's hand, unwilling to let go.
On stage, the auctioneer continued to introduce the next item:
"Next up for auction is a jadeite hairpin. It is handcrafted by a famous master and took half a year to complete. The material is Green Emperor Jadeite, with a starting bid of eighty million. Each incrent must be no less than five million!"
Hearing the auctioneer's words, Wen Rou glanced at the hairpin brought out by the staff, her gaze slightly lost in thought, before turning to Mu Jinyu and whispering, "Little Mu, Sister Qiaoxia would probably like this hairpin."
Among the six won associated with Mu Jinyu, whether it be Gu Xiyan or i Yinxue, or Xu Qingya and Yu Linglong, they were not ordinary won. At the very least, they each had a personal fortune of over ten million.
Only Wen Rou and Lin Qiaoxia were the most ordinary and average of girls, basically owning no jewelry at all.
When Wen Rou saw the hairpin, she thought of Lin Qiaoxia, whose hairpin had recently broken, and she had borrowed a plain one from her to use temporarily. That's why she suggested that Mu Jinyu bid for the hairpin to give to Lin Qiaoxia.
"Alright."
Mu Jinyu also thought that he had given many gifts to Gu Xiyan, Wen Rou, and the others, but had not really given anything to Lin Qiaoxia, Yu Linglong, and Xu Qingya.
It was manageable with Yu Linglong and Lin Qiaoxia, having given them gifts once on their birthdays, and Xiang Mantang had also given them presents. However, for Xu Qingya, he had never really given her anything from start to finish.
Thinking of this, Mu Jinyu felt even more indebted to Xu Qingya.
The first woman he t after coming down from Yinlong Mountain was Xu Qingya, and the Jinyu Group was half exchanged and half given by the Xu Family. Xu Qingya had also been quietly helping in his company, yet he had never paid much attention to her. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelꞁire
'Later, if there are other items, I'll buy more to give to them,' Mu Jinyu thought silently, then raised his hand and shouted, "Ninety million."
It wasn't that he wanted to raise the eighty million bid to ninety million all at once, but while he was deep in thought, soone had already bid eighty-five million.
Following Mu Jinyu's bid, those originally intent on obtaining the hairpin had a slight change in expression and ultimately chose to give up.
Soon after, as the auctioneer brought down the gavel, soone ca to complete the transaction with Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu placed the hairpin into an antique wooden box and tucked it away, planning to give it to Lin Qiaoxia when he returned.
"The next item for auction is the Heavenly Execution Sword Technique, with a starting bid of three hundred and fifty million..."
"The next item for auction is..."
As several items were rotated through, Mu Jinyu occasionally placed bids, sotis remaining indifferent.
His manner left the audience feeling both surprised and perplexed.
Because the items that prompted him to bid were mostly small accessories for won; other than a few people who occasionally took an interest and considered bidding, most did not care. Normally, such items would have led to an awkward lack of bids.
But oddly enough, Mu Jinyu liked and wanted them, bidding to obtain them while completely ignoring the Ancient Martial Sword Techniques and Defensive Armor that several in the audience desperately vied for.
However, they felt that this was for the best. Without him competing for the items, they could save so money.
As ti slowly passed, Mu Jinyu won over a dozen items—dresses, hairpins, necklaces, rings, music boxes, bracelets, and more.
Enough to give to the nine won living on Yinlong Mountain.
And by this point, the auction was gradually approaching its end, moving on to the official auction of Alchemy and Pill Furnaces.
"The next item for auction is the grand finale of this event, an ancient to, which is said to contain records of ancient alchemy. The bidding rules are no longer based on money, but on Spirit dicine," the auctioneer said, following the instructions given to him, even though he did not understand what Spirit dicine was. "The required Spirit dicine must be Third-level Top Grade Spirit dicine, with a starting bid of twenty herbs, and each incrent must be no less than two herbs."
At the auctioneer's words, those who had been completely uninterested in the previous items, so even on the verge of dozing off, were suddenly invigorated, eager to see this Alchemy and Pill Furnace and find out what treasures were worth the Dan Pavilion going through such great lengths!
And would Mu Jinyu and his associates continue to clash with the Dan Pavilion?
