Chapter 501: Chapter 501: So What if I Let You Have It?
Feeling tears stream down her cheeks, Guang Xuanji quickly wiped them away. For so many years, she had built layer upon layer of protection around herself, never revealing a trace of her true feelings to anyone—except for Qing Zhu."Seventy thousand," she called out, her voice cold. She had to have this guqin, no matter the cost.
Hearing Guang Xuanji’s new bid, Lin Yun calmly took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly, "Seventy-one thousand."
"Eighty thousand," Guang Xuanji called out.
"Eighty-one thousand."
"Ninety thousand."
"Ninety-one thousand."
"One hundred thousand."
For a single Celestial Spirit Soldier, Guang Xuanji had directly raised the bid to the high price of one hundred thousand Middle Grade Primordial Stones. This price had far surpassed the guqin’s actual value. By now, not just the auction’s host, but everyone present knew that the people in these two private rooms were probably just bidding out of spite.
After the high price of one hundred thousand was called, Lin Yun unhurriedly took a sip of tea and remarked lightly, "One hundred thousand... for a brothel girl to be carrying around such a huge sum, it’s quite an eye-opener."
Having pushed the price this high, Lin Yun did not continue to bid. In the end, Guang Xuanji won the guqin as she had wished—her sister’s last possession.
Of course, Lin Yun was unaware of the guqin’s true significance. If he had known it was the last memento of Guang Xuanji’s sister, he probably would have bid straight up to two hundred thousand, because Guang Xuanji absolutely would have kept raising her price.
Guang Xuanji didn’t feel it was a loss to spend one hundred thousand Middle Grade Primordial Stones on her sister’s guqin. What infuriated her was Lin Yun’s senseless bidding, which had forced her to suffer an unnecessary loss.
"Lin Yun, you think you have many happy days left? We’ll see about that," Guang Xuanji said, her eyes flashing with killing intent as she stared at Lin Yun’s private room, speaking each word with venom.
After the guqin was won by Guang Xuanji, Lin Yun lost interest in the subsequent items. Although a few Treasure Soldiers were auctioned, he wasn’t tempted.
Treasure Soldiers were good, but a weapon had to feel right in one’s hands. Lin Yun planned to visit the Pharmaceutical Instrument Master’s Association once this was all over and upgrade his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear to a Celestial Spirit Soldier.
Having been with him for so long, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear already felt like an extension of his arm. Unless he had no other choice, Lin Yun would never give it up.
Finally, the auction reached its grand finale: the Elemental Power Stone that had been transported from the Central Domain.
