Chapter 237: Chapter 229: Auctioning dical Books
Divine Doctor Jing, who had never shown his face, possessed the most exquisite dical skills in the capital. Securing this dical book was undoubtedly the greatest wealth, and who knows, it might even garner Divine Doctor Jing’s favour!
Moreover, according to their speculation, since Divine Doctor Jing was auctioning the dical book, the legendary Divine Doctor Jing was most likely sitting among these guests.
Who exactly was it?
That remained unknown.
Lou Xinrou had co specifically for this today, her eyes lit up, and she had been competing with several households for a long ti, constantly raising her bidding sign.
At this mont, Lou Pinshu was still on his way back to the venue, completely unaware that Lou Xinrou had already driven the price of the dical book up to one hundred million.
“One hundred and fifty million!” an elderly man bid a high price.
Lou Xinrou gritted her teeth and raised her bidding sign, “Two hundred million!”
She was determined to get this dical book!
“Three hundred million!” the elderly man continued to compete with Lou Xinrou.
Lou Xinrou, unwilling to show weakness, said, “Four hundred million!”
“Six hundred and fifty million.” the elderly man’s vigor seed to wane, apparently no longer intending to continue bidding.
“Seven hundred million!” Lou Xinrou quoted a price.
The dical book was ultimately acquired by the Lou Family, and Lou Pinshu, who had just returned to the venue, had just learned about it.
“Grandfather, this dical book is of great use to ! I’ve bought it now, and not paying would disgrace our family, so please go and pay,” Lou Xinrou said.
Eventually, Lou Pinshu went backstage with a grim face and paid.
Having acquired Divine Doctor Jing’s dical techniques, a triumphant smile spread across Lou Xinrou’s face.
She couldn’t wait to open the dical book and after casually reading a few pages, felt full of confidence in herself.
The content inside seed so simple, she was certain she could easily master it!
Once she had mastered the dical techniques detailed in the book, Mr. Zhou would surely take her as his disciple! After all, by then, she would be a practitioner of Divine Doctor Jing’s dical techniques.
Lou Xinrou clutched the dical book tightly in her hands as she followed behind Lou Pinshu.
What she didn’t know was that the contents of Divine Doctor Jing’s book were not as simple as they appeared.
Those who understood dical techniques would think it easy at first glance, but on personally attempting to learn, one would realize that every single step contained within was very complex.
At that mont, Qiao Jing was standing in a hall not far from backstage.
Originally planning to leave directly, she thought of Zhan Qipei and took out her phone to send him a ssage, “I’m heading back first.”
It seed as though he had been waiting for her ssage, and he replied instantly, “Wait for , let’s go back together.”
Qiao Jing, looking at Zhan Qipei’s ssage, hesitated for a mont before replying, “How long?”
Zhan Qipei replied, “Right now, after I see this.”
The jadeite ice on stage had caught Zhan Qipei’s interest, and he planned to stay and bid on it before leaving. Now that the Zhan Family had acquired a few items, they could leave early.
Qiao Jing responded faintly, “Alright.”
She sat down on a sofa in the hall, idly browsing the news on her phone to pass the ti.
The lobby’s people were keenly observant. The manager, who had seen Han Zhiyu personally escort Qiao Jing in, guessed that her identity was no trivial matter and began to act with eager courtesy.
The manager poured Qiao Jing a cup of tea, flattering her, “Miss, is there anything else you need?”
“No, thank you.” Qiao Jing’s gaze shifted from her phone screen for a second, glanced at the manager, then returned her attention to her device.
The manager bowed slightly, a smile on his face as he left.
When Lou Xinrou entered the lobby, the first person she noticed was Qiao Jing and the manager beside her, nodding and bowing.
Why was the manager of this top-ranked hotel in the capital being so polite to Qiao Jing?
Lou Pinshu also noticed this scene, her expression subtle, her suspicions seemingly closer to confirmation.
Recalling the dical manual in her possession, Lou Xinrou’s initially jealous rage cald down, and, feeling emboldened, she approached Qiao Jing, boastfully lifting the manual, “Qiao Jing, see what wonderful thing I have in my hand?”
Seated on the sofa, Qiao Jing’s eyes were downcast, her emotions unreadable, her delicate fingers scrolling on her phone’s screen, apparently oblivious to Lou Xinrou’s words.
Completely treating Lou Xinrou as if she were air.
The hand holding the dical manual stiffened; Lou Xinrou hadn’t expected that Qiao Jing wouldn’t even glance at the dical manual she had flaunted!
The surrounding people cast strange glances towards Lou Xinrou, making her face look extrely ugly.
Imdiately, Lou Xinrou withdrew her hand and spoke sarcastically, “You country bumpkin, you don’t recognize what’s valuable, do you? This is Divine Doctor Jing’s dical manual! You couldn’t buy it even if you wanted to!”
Upon hearing the words “dical manual,” Qiao Jing finally reacted, turned off her phone, and looked up at the dical manual in Lou Xinrou’s hand.
Her dical manual had been photographed by Lou Xinrou?
Seeing Qiao Jing staring at the manual in her hand, Lou Xinrou haughtily lifted her chin, “It’s no use envying , this is mine! Besides, last ti it was just your good luck that you saved that patient!”
Maintaining her asured gaze, Qiao Jing’s eyes moved between Lou Xinrou’s face and the dical manual, before she eventually withdrew her gaze and ignored Lou Xinrou.
Lou Xinrou was again infuriated by Qiao Jing’s indifferent deanor, “What are you playing at, acting all high and mighty? I know you want this dical manual; it’s worth a fortune! Once I master the content of this manual, Mr. Zhou will surely take as his apprentice!”
“The contents of this dical manual are incomplete.” Qiao Jing spoke in an emotionally flat tone, as if stating a mundane fact.
Lou Xinrou, placing the manual into her bag, said nonchalantly, “So what? This is Divine Doctor Jing’s dical manual, and it’s far better than having nothing at all!”
This ti, Qiao Jing couldn’t be bothered to speak further with Lou Xinrou, sitting on the sofa waiting for Zhan Qipei to co out.
“Did you hear that? Mr. Zhou will take as his apprentice!” Lou Xinrou, dissatisfied with Qiao Jing’s deanor, continued to taunt.
Qiao Jing rely responded with a faint “Oh,” and said no more.
“Lou Xinrou, when did I ever say I’d take you on as an apprentice?!”
Zhou Fu stord in through the entrance, and upon seeing Qiao Jing, approached her respectfully, “Miss Qiao, I absolutely won’t take her as an apprentice. I’ve told you before, taking an apprentice is a major decision, and I would surely discuss it with you.”
Qiao Jing nodded slightly, “I understand.”
Zhou Fu had explained this several tis.
Facing Lou Xinrou, Zhou Fu’s expression changed, “Lou Xinrou, I’m not taking any apprentices, so stop fantasizing, and stop ntioning my na outside. I’m not acquainted with you.”
Lou Xinrou wasn’t expecting Zhou Fu’s sudden appearance, “Mr. Zhou! I’ve photographed Divine Doctor Jing’s dical manual and will soon master the contents. Wouldn’t you consider taking as an apprentice then?!”
“The dical manual was photographed by you?” Zhou Fu paused, turning to explain to Qiao Jing, “I ca here today to photograph your… Divine Doctor Jing’s dical manual, but there was a delay at Wonderful Hall, and she ended up photographing it.”
