Chapter 826: Bidding
The sudden action within the hall caused quite a number of people to be startled. Their faces turned into sparkling ones when they clearly saw the person who had extended his hand to stop Xiao Yan. They immediately used pitiful eyes to look at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan’s gaze calmly observed the large hand placed on the box of the ‘Jade Bone Fruit’. He quietly sighed in his heart, “It really ended up in this manner...”
Ever since these five jade boxes were taken out, Xiao Yan had a feeling that it was likely that his attempt to exchange for the medicinal ingredients would not be as smooth as he had thought. In the end, his thoughts had really come true...
Xiao Yan vaguely turned his head. He looked at the large red-faced man who stood behind him, and faintly knit his brows.
“Ke ke, Old Qi, this mister is the first to bid... isn’t this act of yours not quite following the rules?” Owner Yao’s heart sank when she saw the red-faced elder extend his hand. However, she forcefully smiled as she spoke.
“What is Owner Yao saying? This place originally gets one to bid. The highest bid will take the item. Why does it matter who is first?” The large red-faced man spoke with displeasure when he heard this.
Owner Yao could only bitterly smile and nod her head when she heard him say this. Her heart quietly cursed, “It is naturally not a problem if you really bid a high price to exchange for such an item. However, you’re a shameless old man who always use some underhanded tactics.”
Old Qi was naturally unaware of Owner Yao’s quiet curse. His gaze shifted and paused on Xiao Yan before smiling and speaking in a somewhat courteous manner, “Ke ke, this friend, the old me is Qi Shan. I am currently refining a medicinal pill that requires a ‘Jade Bone Fruit’. Can this friend part with it? What do you say?”
Although Qi Shan was speaking in a negotiating manner with his mouth, the large hand that was holding the jade box did not relax even a little. Instead, it even moved it slightly toward him.
The pitiful expression of those gazes in the hall that were looking at Xiao Yan became even denser when they heard Qi Shan open his mouth to speak. This pitiful fellow actually ended up competing with this old fellow Qi Shan. Who in this Black Emperor City did not know that this old fellow liked to bully others with his strength?
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment in front of the many gazes. His hand immediately pulled the jade box that contained the ‘Jade Bone Fruit’. After which, he slowly pulled it to a spot in front of him and smiled toward Qi Shan. He said, “I’m sorry, Coincidentally, I also require this ‘Jade Bone Fruit’. Therefore, I’m afraid that I cannot part with it.”
