"That young Master Zhu seems quite brazen indeed! I think there are quite a few people here who are afraid of him." Wei Guanguan scoffed disdainfully.
Lian’er sneered, "These people aren’t afraid of Young Master Zhu; they’re afraid of the people supporting him. Even if they got the Elixir now, they’d worry about an army imposing on them, leaving them with no chance to use it."
"Does Young Master Zhu have such influence?" Wei Qi exclaid in surprise.
Lian’er replied, "He has a sister who was taken in by the Imperial Family and is greatly favored. It’s said that his sister dotes on him exceptionally so, even if it ans pulling stars from the sky, she would satisfy him."
"Riding on the coattails of a woman," Wei Qi imdiately lost interest.
There was no further bidding, and Young Master Zhu’s face, Yin Zhe, showed a look of triumph.
However, at this mont, a cool and lazy voice was heard: "Eight million taels of gold."
The words caused others to gape in astonishnt. Is this how bids are raised? The difference is three million! Too much money with nowhere to spend it, huh?
Opposite, Young Master Zhu’s triumphant expression instantly turned sullen.
In Mu Qingge’s box, the three people looked at her in amazent, seemingly unable to understand why she would start bidding. Isn’t the Elixir gone? Moreover, she’s the owner of the Elixir, so why join in the commotion?
"Ten million!" Amidst the astonishnt, Young Master Zhu’s sinister voice echoed again.
Mu Qingge’s lips curled slightly, her eyes gleaming with amusent, "Ten million and one."
From inside Young Master Zhu’s box ca the sound of porcelain shattering. Shortly after, the sound of bidding was heard once again: "Eleven million."
"Fifteen million!"
"Eighteen million!"
"Nineteen million!"
"Ni..."
"Young Master, we don’t have that much money." Young Master Zhu’s attendant hastily interrupted his master’s words, whispering a reminder.
Yet, provoked by Mu Qingge, Young Master Zhu was unwilling to yield. This was not rely about the Elixir’s ownership, but about face! Face! Understand?
He pushed away the attendant who ca to intervene, gritted his teeth, and said, "Twenty million gold!"
"Twenty-five million taels of gold!" But that cool and lazy voice wouldn’t let him off.
Those outside listened in awe.
For an Elixir, no matter how extraordinary, spending twenty-five million taels of gold is a burden difficult for a family to bear. anwhile, they marveled at where this rich ignoramus ca from, able to rival Young Master Zhu in wealth.
They didn’t know, Mu Qingge wasn’t a wealthy ignoramus and couldn’t produce that much gold. But calling out bids carried no pressure or burden for her.
Even if the bid reached one hundred million, she wouldn’t bat an eye.
Anyway, today she planned to thoroughly ss with the Zhu family. Lord, when scheming, can really be ruthless.
"Thirty million! I’ll offer thirty million gold! Plus a hundred Beast Cores above the Yellow Realm! Do you dare to bid more?" Young Master Zhu was driven to desperation, his eyes turned red.
Recognizing this as the Zhu family’s limit, if pushed further, he’d likely give up.
Mu Qingge smiled lightly and said, "Your Excellency is indeed generous, so I’ll leave this Elixir to you." Then, muttering in a tone for all to hear, she added, "The Elixir isn’t even here, I was just shouting for fun."
The first part of her words brought relief to Young Master Zhu. But the latter part made him almost spew blood.
At this ti, only then did others realize that the arrogant Young Master Zhu had been thoroughly played in public, before the social elites of Zhi City.
Reeling from Mu Qingge’s antics, Young Master Zhu, eyes red with rage, shouted fiercely, "Wanxiang Building, is there or is there not such an Elixir!" If not, wouldn’t this an the ridicule happened for real?
