Chapter 920: Chapter 919: Auction Proceeds, Astronomical Number_1
The first floor lobby was bustling with people, so unable to contain their excitent, standing up from their seats, waving auction paddles and making their presence known.
The bells in the second-floor VIP rooms rang incessantly, as the prestigious guests were equally passionate and eager to outshine others, even showcasing their wealth and status.
“Twenty-one million, twenty-two million, twenty-three million.”
The auctioneer’s face flushed with excitent, seeing not bidding paddles but silver dropping from the sky.
It seed as if a silver rain was pouring down.
A group of young n were captivated by the escalating bids, watching the stage without blinking, waiting for the final result.
“Twenty-seven million, twenty-eight million, twenty-nine million…”
The auctioneer kept raising the bids, and when he broke through thirty million, his hoarse voice sounded like a rooster crowing.
The bidding of thirty million quieted the auction venue for a mont, but soon a new wave of clamor started again.
*
“Fifty-one million for the first ti, fifty-one million for the second ti, fifty-one million for the third ti, deal!”
An incense stick later, the bronze cauldron’s price settled at fifty-one million.
The last-laughing victor revealed himself from a second-floor VIP room, relishing the envious glares of countless people, jubilant and laughing loudly.
“This person is Jinling’s wealthiest man, with family businesses across the Fengqi Empire, involved in various industries, controlling a large part of Jinling City’s economic lifelines.”
Ye Fengmian was well aware of the Jinling’s wealthy, and with one glance, he recognized the man’s identity.
“Damn, he’s really amazing!”
The young n were all amazed, and Shitou couldn’t help but blurt out.
“Sixteen exhibits were auctioned for a total of 386 million taels of gold.”
Madam Ye quickly calculated the total amount, her abacus clicking rapidly.
Lin Qingluo was overjoyed; the gold spent on building the southern defense of Nanqi had been earned back.
After deducting the auction house’s commission, Luo Zhan personally brought over the equivalent gold notes and a VIP token from Jufeng Bank.
With this token, at any Jufeng Bank throughout the Seven Kingdoms, a considerable amount of gold could be withdrawn, with priority access.
The auction closed perfectly, and Lin Qingluo’s 13th birthday feast comnced grandly at the Blessing Feast Restaurant.
Everyone in the VIP room, together with Luo Zhan, gathered at the Blessing Feast Restaurant, drinking and making rry, sending heart-felt blessings to the young birthday girl.
What’s worth ntioning is that the handso servant boy was also there.
Xue Rufeng maintained his typical cold deanor, elegantly displaying royal etiquette while leaning against the window and gazing at the starry sky, with an unusual light in his eyes.

Late at night, Ye Mansion.
Lin Qingluo used a stealth technique and silently arrived at the guest room where Lin Yixuan was temporarily staying.
“Ah woo.”
When she appeared, Baoya was frightened and raised her fur. Realizing it was the young mistress, she raised her right paw and patted her still alard little heart.
At the sa ti, Lin Yixuan, who was ditating, opened his eyes warily and looked in her direction.
“Sister.”
Seeing it was his sister, he jumped off the bed in delight and approached her.
“Sorry for interrupting your cultivation.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes were gentle, gazing with affection at the young man who had grown rapidly over the past few days, almost as tall as her.
“No.”
Lin Yixuan smiled brightly: “I was just daydreaming. It seed like my eyes were closed, but I wasn’t thinking about anything.”
