"Congratulations, you bought the Water Orchid for five thousand taels of silver. That must be the most expensive Water Orchid ever sold," Mu Hanyan said with a sigh, looking at Yuan Tianbo as if he were an idiot.
"What, a Water Orchid?" the onlookers were all montarily stunned.
Though there’s only a slight difference in the na between a Water Orchid and a Fire Orchid, their effects are worlds apart. The Water Orchid has so uses, like clearing heat from the lungs and internal heat; it’s said that when ground into powder, it can even treat various types of hemorrhoids. But can such effects compare to a Fire Orchid, which is said to be equivalent to ten years of cultivation when consud? Even if the rumors are sowhat exaggerated, wouldn’t it still account for at least two or three years?
Looking at the fiery, brilliant orchid in front of them, it was entirely different from a Water Orchid; so even suspected that Mu Hanyan was deliberately calling a deer a horse just to provoke Yuan Tianbo.
"Mu Hanyan, are you blind? You can’t even tell what colors the Fire Orchid and the Water Orchid are! Even if your heart can’t accept that I’ve won the Fire Orchid, there’s no need for this nonsense," Yuan Tianbo laughed heartily after a brief mont of daze.
"If you don’t believe it, why don’t you cut it open and take a closer look?" Mu Hanyan replied disdainfully.
She trusted her own judgnt and she trusted the judgnt of Star Illusion Thousand Machine even more. She was certain that this orchid, though identical in appearance to the Fire Orchid, was absolutely different internally.
"Hmph, let’s take a look then. This ti, I will make you concede defeat wholeheartedly." Yuan Tianbo had been overshadowed by Mu Hanyan ti and again and finally saw a chance to show his superiority. He took out a small knife and swiftly slashed it towards the Water Orchid.
The knife shimred hinting a slash as it passed through the fiery orchid.
Yuan Tianbo’s smug smile froze on his face, the spectators were also astounded.
Within the fiery stems and roots of the orchid, the sap was a clear, white color looking exceedingly translucent, much like morning dew. It’s well-known that not only is the Fire Orchid intensely red on the outside, its interior is even more magnificent with sap resembling molten magma.
Even a blind man could see that this was a Water Orchid with the appearance of a Fire Orchid.
"How could this be, how could this be, it was supposed to be a Fire Orchid, how did it turn into a Water Orchid?" Yuan Tianbo’s face distorted in shock and frustration, his breathing turning laborious as if he were a strangled rooster, painfully suffering from various types of hemorrhoids all set off at once.
"Che Xiang, you f**king duped !" Yuan Tianbo suddenly jumped up, slapping Che Xiang.
This was the Nanmu Auction; they couldn’t allow him to harm soone at will. The steward swiftly moved, blocking his path and with a sweep of his palm, pushed him back two steps.
"You’re all in this together; you deliberately tricked with a fake Fire Orchid. I...I won’t let this go, I’ll tell my grandfather to get justice for ," Yuan Tianbo yelled furiously.
"Yuan Tianbo, do you even have a brain? Who was it that said there was no need for authentication just now, and now that you’ve bought fake rchandise, who’s to bla? Besides, unless you cut it open, who can tell whether this Fire Orchid was real or fake? Why unjustly accuse Che Xiang," Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but say.
The power of the Yuan Family was still formidable, especially their reputation among the chambers of comrce. If they were convinced that today’s incident was a sche by Nanmu Auction and Che Xiang against him, it could spell trouble for the Nanmu Auction. The auction was still too vulnerable to withstand such affliction right now.
Mu Hanyan has a clear sense of gratitude and grudges; she didn’t want to ruin Mu Nan’s hard work and hopes because of herself. At the sa ti, she indirectly helped Che Xiang. With his identity, he could afford Yuan Tianbo’s wrath even less.
