In the midst of eager anticipation, Yafei elegantly began to introduce the origins and power of Whirlwind Decree, pushing the atmosphere of the auction to another peak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this mysterious-grade martial art was unexpectedly discovered by a hunter in the mountains, very likely left behind by a senior. Its origins are very orthodox and will not bring any trouble. You can all bid with complete confidence."
Yafei gracefully raised the green scroll in her hand and said with a smile, "Miss Yafei, please state your price quickly!" Someone below couldn't wait to shout.
Yafei still maintains that elegant and charming smile on her face. She smiles gently and says gracefully, "Whirlwind Decree, starting bid at two hundred thousand gold coins!"
As soon as this astronomical figure is announced, the venue instantly becomes much quieter. Obviously, many people simply do not have enough financial resources to purchase this item.
In a remote corner, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that this woman is really good at bargaining, too ruthless. Two hundred thousand gold coins, this is the profit of the Xiao Family for more than two years.
The atmosphere of the auction gradually heated up. Although there were continuous bids in the venue, the high price of two hundred thousand made many people hesitate.
However, just as everyone hesitated, Gulliver coldly shouted from the front row, "three hundred thousand!"
This price immediately put pressure on the others. However, some were still unwilling to back down, and the chief of the Oba family, Oba Pa, challenged, "Three hundred and thirty thousand!"
Gulliver remained unmoved and responded coldly, "Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
Obapa's eyes twitched and he revealed a cunning smile, continuing to bid, "Three hundred and seventy thousand!"
"Three hundred and eighty thousand!" Gulliver showed no weakness.
Obapa gritted his teeth and shouted, "Four hundred thousand!"
Regarding the continuous price increase by O'BaPa, Gulliver followed without hesitation, showing a determined attitude to win.
The price competition has clearly brought the atmosphere in the field to a boiling point. Everyone is nervously watching the showdown between the two major families, each with their own predictions, but unsure of the outcome.
Sitting in his seat, Xiao Zhan suddenly stood up and shouted, "Five hundred thousand!"
This surprised Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi, as well as everyone else present.
"Chief XiaoIs there really that much money?" Gu Yunzhi asked worriedly.
"Absolutely not, the family currently does not have that much available funds. Is my father crazy?" Xiao Yan replied, sounding a bit panicked.
" Yun Zhi, wait and make your move directly. If my father really bids at this price, he will definitely be scolded by the three elders when he goes back!"
"Okay," Gu Yunzhi nodded, her hand ready to bid as soon as no one else shouted a price.
"Fifty-five thousand!" A glint of red flashed in Gulliver's eyes. After a brief silence, he coldly shouted out this price, as if he had already made up his mind.
However, to everyone's surprise, when Xiao Zhan heard the price, he smiled slightly and jokingly said to Gulliver, "You win."
Gulliver was momentarily stunned, and then his face gradually turned dark. After a brief moment of clarity, he realized that he had been played...
He glared angrily at Xiao Zhan and roared with resentment, "Xiao Zhan, you're ruthless! I will remember this!"
Then he looked up at the somewhat bewildered Yafei. Although his anger was boiling inside, he was not an unreasonable person. He tried to suppress his anger, his face dark and polite but somewhat cold as he said to Yafei, "Miss Yafei, I think it's time to end this, don't you?"
"Wait a moment, six hundred thousand." Gu Yunzhi finally decided to make a move. In fact, she had this plan from the beginning, feeling that this price should be the limit that Gulliver could bear.
"You..." Gulliver was almost faint with anger, but he knew that his family only had a low-level mysterious technique, which was not worth mentioning within the sphere of influence of Utan City.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth tightly and called out again, "Six hundred and fifty thousand."
"Seven hundred thousand," Gu Yunzhi raised the price without hesitation.
At this point, Gulliver was so angry that his face turned red, and he eventually fainted directly from anger.
Yafei smiled slightly, her eyes lowered, and with a gentle wave of her jade hand, the small hammer fell in the regretful gaze of Gulliver.
"Whirlwind Decree has been successfully purchased at the auction by the lady!"
Watching this scene, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile, feeling happy.
This time, not only did he feel his father's concern, but Gu Yunzhi also helped him successfully obtain the high-level martial arts skill, Whirlwind Decree, which upgraded The Xiao Family's martial arts collection from intermediate to advanced level.
"Ding dong, master, congratulations, you have gained the trust of Xiao Yan, with a favorability rating exceeding fifty percent. Special reward of one hundred fifty thousand, and forty thousand experience points." Gu Yunzhi's expectations have indeed come true.
Six hundred thousand plus one hundred fifty thousand, minus seven hundred thousand, leaves fifty thousand. Gu Yunzhi realizes that the money is about to run out again, and is determined to work even harder to complete the mission.
Xiao Yan had no idea what Gu Yunzhi was currently thinking. He stood up slowly and followed Gu Yunzhi out of the auction house.
"We will go to collect the auction items and the proceeds from the 'Foundation Essence' auction later," he said to Gu Yunzhi.
Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi waited quietly in the appraisal room, feeling as though the outside world was completely cut off from them. Before long, Yafei appeared, breaking the tranquility.
Yafei stepped in, and a refreshing fragrance hit Xiao Yan as soon as he entered. His heart fluttered slightly, unable to deny her beauty, a kind that could make a man's heart race with maturity and charm.
As they came into close contact, Xiao Yan once again felt Yafei's mature charm. Her delicate smile and the watery glint in her long, beautiful eyes were constantly emitting temptation to men.
His gaze involuntarily slid over her slender and elegant jade neck, and the deep milky white gullies caused a slight tremor in his heart. Her snake-like willowy waist swayed gracefully, an irresistible temptation.
Xiao Yan was thankful for the cloak's cover, which prevented Yafei and Gu Yunzhi from seeing his expression.
Forcing down the turmoil in his heart, however, his gaze was quickly drawn to the cold beauty of Gu Yunzhi beside him.
Xiao Yan admired her unshakable elegance and composure. In the presence of Gu Yunzhi's composure, Yafei's charm seemed overly exaggerated, while Gu Yunzhi was as refreshing as a clear spring.
This makes Xiao Yan even more certain that he appreciates the elegant beauty of Gu Yunzhi that is as immovable as a mountain.
Gu Yunzhi is standing next to Xiao Yan, her mystery forming a sharp contrast with Yafei's charm.
Yafei's eyes revealed curiosity and a hint of playfulness towards Gu Yunzhi, as if she wanted to test the sudden appearance of this beautiful woman through her words.
"Miss, your attire is truly captivating, you are like a hidden gem, a rare beauty to behold," Yafei praised, her gaze sweeping from Gu Yunzhi's head to toe, but Gu Yunzhi remained unfazed.
With half a mask on, Gu Yunzhi coldly responded, "Thank you, Yafei, you are also very beautiful." Then he handed a black and gold five-stripe card from his pocket.
"This is my black card, with seven hundred thousand inside. Also, please help us deliver the amount obtained from the successful auction of 'Foundation Essence.'"
Gu Yunzhi's eyes showed no emotion as she coldly looked at Yafei, as if the flattering words she had just spoken were meaningless to her.
This indifference made Yafei feel a chill, but Yafei quickly adjusted her mood, still with a teasing smile on her lips.
"Okay, miss, you wait a moment. After the card is swiped later, the high-level Whirlwind Decree scroll will be delivered along with the gentleman's auction proceeds next to you," Yafei said in a very professional and well-trained tone.
"Did the sale of 'Foundation Essence' at a price of forty thousand meet your initial expectations?" Yafei turned to Xiao Yan, dressed in black, trying to get a response from him.
Xiao Yan, however, seemed to prefer Gu Yunzhi's indifference. He only nodded slightly in response to Yafei, then shifted his gaze away from her and paused on Gu Yunzhi for a moment before returning to his calm state, quietly waiting to proceed with the process.
Yafei looked at the seemingly ambiguous understanding between Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi, and couldn't help but feel a hint of annoyance in her heart. However, she quickly concealed this emotion and maintained her elegance and smile.
"Alright, we will complete the formalities soon, please wait a moment," Yafei maintained her smile, but a barely noticeable hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Gu Yunzhi's indifference and Xiao Yan's indifference seemed to have become an invisible force, making Yafei have to maintain her politeness and smile.
In their cold response, Yafei still did not give up, trying hard to find information that could reveal their identities. But in the end, she was unable to extract any useful information from the two of them.
In the end, she had to put aside her doubts and smilingly took out a crystal card she carried with her. The card was engraved with the emblem of the Mittal family.
"Sir, this is the VIP card for Mittal auction. As long as you hold this card, you will receive VIP treatment at any auction house of the Mittal family. In addition, the tax required during the auction will be reduced from five percent to two percent," Yafei explained enthusiastically.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Compared to the previous nonsense, he preferred this kind of tangible benefit. After a brief pause, he reached out and took the crystal card.
Yafei noticed Xiao Yan extending his slender and fair hand from under his black robe, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Despite Xiao Yan's voice being old and hoarse, he had a pair of clean hands that looked like those of a young man, which made her unable to help but feel puzzled: What exactly is this person's identity?
Just then, a maid hurried in from outside and respectfully handed Yafei a green card.
"Sir, the Foundation Essence has been successfully auctioned for a price of forty thousand gold coins. After deducting two percent tax, all the funds are on this card," Yafei smiled and handed the green card to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan took the card, finally feeling relieved. This money is an important capital for his future cultivation. With this money, he can practice peacefully to the fighter level without having to borrow from Gu Yunzhi again.
"Miss, this is the high-level martial art, Whirlwind Decree, that you need to practice. Your black card and scroll are here, please confirm." Gu Yunzhi took the items handed to her by the maid and carefully inspected them.
Xiao Yan's gaze involuntarily fell on the scroll in Gu Yunzhi's hand, and she looked at it for a few more moments.
Since the money and items are already in hand, Xiao Yan and Gu Yunzhi don't want to stay here any longer. Gu Yunzhi spoke up, "Since everything is settled, can we leave now?"
"Hehe, of course. If you two need any medicine or want to buy anything in the future, feel free to visit Mittal Auction House at any time," Yafei said with an enchanting smile.
"Mm." Xiao Yan responded casually, then stood up. He and Gu Yunzhi walked out of the room filled with the scent of women and rouge without looking back.
