What happened?
Did soone steal the rest?
Impossible!
Was she cheated by Li Si?
Impossible!
Then what the hell happened?!!
Turning more nervous and anxious by the second as everyone kept on pointing towards her, Jin Ying wanted to do nothing more than dig a hole and hide herself within it.
Jin Ying knew that since no one could've stolen them especially in the middle of the auction, she knew that she had been tricked by Li Si.
How he did it and what he did were what she didn't know yet, but was now really a ti for her to think about such things?
With the Crystal Yin decreasing by four tis, she would be surprised if it was even possible for her to recover what she spent on buying it from Li Si.
And if she failed to breakeven and not obtain at least 551 Qi Crystals for the Crystal Yin, not to ntion a promotion, it wouldn't be surprising if the head office decided to turn her into one of those slaves whom she had just gifted to Bai Long.
Regaining the proud and confident look on her face, Jin Ying loudly laughed and said, "Due to so inexplicable reasons, we've changed our decision to only sell a fourth of the entire Crystal Yin we managed to obtain."
"So, let's restart the bid with the opening price set 250 Qi Crystals."
With now a single one in the audience seats or the rooms believing that obviously fake and made up reason, the entire auction hall turned silent with people only whispering in between themselves and not making any bids.
It was almost as if everyone was saying that they wouldn't place a bid unless the entire 720 tonnes of Crystal Yin was showed to them.
Still, even though no one said those words and Jin Ying understood them without anyone having to say those words, she couldn't do anything about it.
Unlike Li Si who managed to increase the 180 tonnes and make it seem like 720 tonnes when he sold it to her, Jin Ying didn't know how to do that.
At the sa ti, she began doubting if those 180 tonnes were real either and not so 45 tonnes of Crystal Yin which had been increased in size.
Shaking her head inwardly to not let such thought get to her right now, Jin Ying maintaining the sa smile repeatedly asked everyone to place the first bid while highlighting the importance of how useful Crystal Yin was.
Actually, 180 tonnes of Crystal Yin wasn't sothing which could be considered as small in quantity. In fact, it wasn't every day or every year that such a huge quantity of Crystal Yin was sold.
But, to everyone who ca here with the intention to purchase 720 tonnes being able to only buy 180 tonnes was quite a huge let down which completely destroyed the enthusiasm they originally possessed.
Furthermore, they had all seen how the 720 tonnes had turned into 180 tonnes right in front of their eyes.
Due to this, they were worried about the fact that maybe the 180 tonnes weren't real and could disappear at any mont.
Thus, after coming very close to begging for soone to make a bid, Jin Ying managed to obtain the first bid.
It was from soone in the audience that wanted to make himself famous by being the one who'd buy the best item of the day.
Similar to him, others in the audience also increased the bid by 1 Qi Crystal each filling Jin Ying with the desire to start crying.
Luckily, those who were in the private rooms also soon placed a bid but the highest bid she received was still less than 45o Qi Crystals.
"I'm still willing to pay the 7000 Qi Crystals I originally bid as long as you give the 720 tonnes of Crystal Yin."
"Sa here. I'm also willing to pay higher than 7000 Qi Crystals if you sell the 720 tonnes of Crystal Yin."
'If I could sell you, then why wouldn't I?!'
Cursing everyone on the inside due to how angry she was at herself for falling into that bastard Li Si's scam, Jin Ying shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, we'll only be selling 180 tonnes of Crystal Yin today."
It was around this ti that soone with an incredible pressure walked through the doors behind the stage and managed to shock everyone who saw her.
Turning around with a bad premonition due to everyone looking the sa way they did when the Crystal Yin had decreased in size, Jin Ying also saw the woman that just walked out.
Eyes turning wide instantly with fear which couldn't be hidden in then, Jin Ying's feet unconsciously moved backwards as she kept on staring at the woman that walked out.
"I... I can fix this lady... "
Before Jin Ying could even finish her words, the woman who appeared had appeared in front of her and gripped her neck before coldly saying, "Shut up before you embarrass the Pheonix Pavilion any further."
Then, she looked towards the audience and said, "We'll have to cut our auction short for today and announce that there won't be any auction of Crystal Yin either. But to show how sorry we are, the Pheonix Pavilion is offering a twenty per cent discount on all the items that were auctioned today."
Once she finished speaking, the woman walked away while still gripping Jin Ying by the neck.
Seeing all of this, not a single one in the audience seats of rooms felt offended in the slightest and just sat there because they all knew of the woman's identity.
And even if they didn't, as soone who could drag a Sage Realm Cultivator like a helpless chicken, they knew that she wasn't soone they could question.
As for Bai Long, having seen everything that happened he laughed as loudly as possible from how aweso it felt to have tricked Jin Ying, and even managed to obtain the bonus of a twenty per cent discount.
Turns out being a villain wasn't just all about fucking won that were already in a relationship, or stealing from others.
Tis like this were what made him feel even better about his decision on trying to beco the best villain ever.
