Zhang Yuying said angrily, "What do you an? I’ve already dissolved our engagent!"
The aning behind her words couldn’t be clearer.
We have no engagent anymore; you have no right to ddle in what I do.
But Wang Haoyu clearly misunderstood her words.
To him, Ye Fei was her new love interest in everything Zhang Yuying said.
He felt his blood rush to his head in anger.
The woman he couldn’t have, mustn’t be touched by anyone else!
"Ye Fei, are you sure you want to go against ?"
Ye Fei watched coldly.
He looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Don’t bother ."
Wang Haoyu imdiately flew into a rage.
"You have so nerve! How dare you speak to like that?"
"Don’t think just because you’re a postnatal martial artist, our martial arts families can’t deal with you!"
"Let tell you, you can’t even begin to imagine the power of the martial arts families!"
The more Wang Haoyu spoke, the angrier he got, and the onlookers imdiately turned their attention to them.
Zhang Yuying was obviously angry as well.
But before she could speak, a robust voice ca through.
"Strictly no disturbance is allowed inside the auction hall!"
The source of the voice was unknown.
But the authority in the voice was so formidable that even a wealthy heir like Wang Haoyu quieted down imdiately.
He knew the auction house had profound backing and didn’t dare to act recklessly.
In the end, Wang Haoyu said venomously to Ye Fei, "You’re dead at!"
Ye Fei ignored him and entered the private room.
Zhang Yuying gracefully took a seat next to Ye Fei.
When she turned her head, she found herself looking directly into Ye Fei’s deep eyes.
"Ah!" Zhang Yuying shrieked in surprise.
"What are you doing! Stop glaring at !"
Ye Fei said coldly, "You should explain our relationship to everyone!"
Zhang Yuying said guiltily, "What’s there to explain? We’re innocent; why do we need to explain anything!"
Ye Fei then said no more.
Arguing with the girl would lead nowhere.
The two sat in silence, waiting for the auction to begin.
Soon, the lights in the hall dimd.
Two spotlights shone on the stage, and a tall woman erged.
"Thank you for your patience, the auction will start montarily."
Without further ado, the auction maintained a simple and unadorned atmosphere.
After a round of applause, the first item was brought to the stage.
Ye Fei’s starry eyes twinkled, and he took a good look at the item.
It was just an ordinary painting and calligraphy, not what he was looking for.
Although the auction targeted martial artists, there were many antiques and art pieces.
After all, items like dan dicine and magical weapons were exceedingly rare in modern tis.
The subsequent items were also mundane, and Ye Fei had no interest whatsoever.
The auction-goers who desired these items were few and far between.
These mundane items served more as appetizers.
Finally, when everyone was about to fall asleep, exclamations rang out.
An ancient longsword was brought up, its body emitting a reddish color.
A magical weapon.
Ye Fei’s interest was imdiately piqued.
Most of the crowd were martial artists, and they too beca eager.
The auctioneer, however, seed a bit embarrassed now.
"Ladies and gentlen, please calm down."
"As you can see, this item is a magical weapon."
"Unfortunately, the spirit within this weapon has perished and now it’s just an ordinary... artifact?"
The crowd fell silent.
There was a buzz of conversation, with many lanting the pity.
It was clear that the sword was well-preserved.
But a pity the spirit was gone, for it could no longer channel True Qi.
Its power might not even match that of a common blade.
Because one also had to consider that due to its age, it could break during use.
"Ladies and gentlen, considering the actual condition of this item, we will auction it at the price of an ordinary artwork."
"Starting bid, three million, with each incrent no less than one hundred thousand!"
No sooner had the auctioneer spoken than soone expressed their displeasure.
Soone angrily said, "Qingyun Auction House has always been fair. How can you charge so much for a piece of scrap tal today?"
"Right, isn’t this just cheating us, treating us like fools?"
Abandoned magical weapons were a di a dozen; once their spirits perished, they beca worthless.
These people, distinguished figures among the martial artists, well-inford and worldly, were also upset by this situation.
The auctioneer smiled awkwardly, "This gentleman, we considered the intact preservation of this item before setting the price."
Although he said this, the crowd shook their heads in disagreent.
Soone laughed, "I could pay a few thousand to a carver, and he would give a variety of designs more than this one!"
This remark triggered a chorus of laughter from everyone.
No matter what the auctioneer said, no one placed a bid.
The auctioneer beca sowhat uncomfortable.
"Does anyone else wish to bid?"
"If not, I will regretfully announce that this item will be passed in!"
Just when people were smirking, and waiting for the auctioneer to declare the item unsold, a voice ca through.
"Three million one hundred thousand!"
Boom!
A single stone cast into the pond creates a thousand ripples.
The hall was in an uproar.
"Who would bid on this thing? Have they lost their mind?"
"Never heard that voice before, it must be so greenhorn."
"Ha, so naive kid doesn’t know the tricks of an auction. Isn’t he just getting scamd?"
Everybody was talking, but none followed the bid.
Inside Ye Fei’s private room at this mont.
Zhang Yuying looked at Ye Fei with a surprised face.
"Have you gone mad?"
"Everyone is saying it’s not worth the price, so why did you still bid on it?"
Then Ye Fei remained silent.
If you looked closely, there was a hint of barely noticeable excitent in his eyes.
