Clap, clap, clap!
Clear applause resounded at the scene.
It turned out to be Tao Yunqing clapping non-stop.
He looked at Qin Hao with an insidious gaze, "Wow, so impressive! Even a pauper can be so generous now, really scared me!"
Qin Hao glanced at him indifferently, "This is an auction house, not your family vegetable market. If you like to fart, get out."
This sentence equaled returning the humiliation suffered just now.
Tao Yunqing immediately became angrily warm, "You little bastard, you are forcing me!"
With that, he raised his hand and shouted, "Thirty thousand!"
Thirty thousand!
With the appearance of this number, everyone at the scene began to breathe heavily.
Thirty thousand, although not the highest number ever at the auction.
But undoubtedly, it’s already very high.
In the outside world, it’s tens of thousands of taels of gold!
Now, Tao Yunqing actually has the courage to offer thirty thousand?
He’s completely a tycoon among tycoons!
Enjoying the envious and admiring gazes from all sides, Tao Yunqing felt extremely satisfied.
In fact, his highest bid was around thirty thousand. Having spent this money, he was temporarily transparent.
But he didn’t regret doing so.
First of all, this pair of Gold and Silver Mother-Child Rings is worth the price.
Secondly, buying so dominantly, it could smack Qin Hao in the face, right?
Double joy, thirty thousand completely worth it!
Thinking so, he arrogantly glanced at Qin Hao, just about to speak, when he saw a hand rise, softly saying: "Thirty thousand and one."
Seeing clearly that the owner of the hand was Qin Hao, Tao Yunqing was somewhat stunned.
Thirty thousand and one?
This little bastard is playing me?
Then, his face turned red, and he shouted, "You little bastard! What do you mean by bidding an extra one?"
Qin Hao glanced at him askance, leisurely saying, "Is there a rule here that one cannot bid an extra one?"
"You!"
Tao Yunqing was so angry that his face turned red, not knowing how to respond.
This is purely unreasonable, but the rules indeed do not explicitly prohibit bidding an extra one.
However, for such a precious item, adding just one, isn’t this simply being a rogue?
"This Mr. Qin Hao has raised the bid by one, may I ask if anyone else wants to bid?"
The other guests were all secretly clicking their tongues, glancing at Qin Hao with a trace of admiration.
Raising the bid by one is indeed very shameless.
But making Tao Yunqing uncomfortable, this shamelessness is worth it!
On stage, the host’s smile became bright again.
Now, she found Qin Hao even more pleasing to the eye.
In order to stimulate the price, He Yuqing cast her gaze on Tao Yunqing’s face, the meaning very obvious.
Under pressure, Tao Yunqing clenched his fists tightly, biting his teeth hard.
Thirty thousand was already the limit of his small vault; beyond that, he couldn’t possibly come up with so much cash.
At this moment, the nearby He Sichao whispered, "Brother Tao, I have more than ten thousand silver left. If you are willing... I can lend it..."
Hearing this, Tao Yunqing’s body trembled, and after gratefully glancing at He Sichao, he loudly said: "I bid forty thousand!"
Boom!
Everyone felt a huge shock in their hearts!
Forty thousand! Many Outer Disciples might not earn this much in a lifetime!
Even Inner Sect Disciples might not have this amount as spare money!
But, Tao Yunqing can actually afford it?
Instantly, Tao Yunqing harvested another wave of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Hmph! Let me show you!"
Tao Yunqing was secretly pleased, just wanting to mock Qin Hao a few words, but seeing Qin Hao on that side raised his hand: "Fifty thousand."
Compared to Tao Yunqing’s shout, Qin Hao’s words were weak, as if lacking strength.
But the shock brought by this sentence was stronger than that of Tao Yunqing.
Immediately, everyone on the scene became excited.
"Fifty thousand? Are you kidding?"
"Alright, although that pair of bracelets is worth this much, isn’t this price inflated?"
"Goddamn! I’ve been hustling in the Outer Courtyard for so many years and only earned five thousand. Qin Hao bids fifty thousand just like that? That’s incredible!"
Hearing those discussions, Tao Yunqing was so angry his heart was about to burst.
All my limelight has been stolen by this bastard?
"Brother Tao, I can lend you eight thousand..." Chen Ji, standing nearby, timely stepped up, whispering in Tao Yunqing’s ear.
As soon as the words fell, the subordinates behind Tao Yunqing also began whispering among themselves.
"Boss Tao, I can offer three hundred."
"I have seven hundred!"
"After so many years, I have saved more than two thousand..."
Tao Yunqing had been mixing in the Outer Courtyard for so many years, and the imposed authority still existed.
During this crisis of face, his subordinates accompanied him stepped forward one after another, took out their saved private money to aid him.
Seeing this, Tao Yunqing couldn’t help but feel a bit touched.
He nodded to everyone, "Thank you all!"
And then, he regained his confidence.
If not counting errors before, with his subordinates’ support, he had gained more than twenty thousand more usable funds.
This auction isn’t over yet!
Just as he raised his hand, gathered his breath in his chest, and was about to shout a domineering figure,
Just heard Qin Hao’s light voice again: "Sigh, it’s no fun playing around, I’ll bid with myself, I’ll raise it to fifty thousand. Let’s make it an even ten thousand..."
With this sentence, Tao Yunqing’s hand paused in midair, his body stiffened, and his whole face looked completely bewildered.
Many people had the same reaction.
Many people were at a loss.
Don’t know how long it took, He Yuqing’s voice said excitedly and trembled: "This Mr. Qin Hao... are you sure you want to do this?"
"Is it not allowed?" Qin Hao’s questioning voice came.
"Of course...it is allowed..." He Yuqing was thrillingly excited.
She had presided over auctions for half a year, and it was the second time the number of ten thousand appeared, completely comparable to the price of the previous champion.
But back then, the champion was auctioning for a place as an Inner Sect Disciple, this time it’s just a Second-Grade Spiritual Artifact.
This extraordinary overvaluation was enough to become a proud line on He Yuqing’s resume.
Therefore, she was almost excited beyond words, increasingly finding Qin Hao pleasant.
In stark contrast to He Yuqing’s expression.
Watching, the people on Tao Yunqing’s side came to their senses, their faces fell, each suffered like eating feces.
Fuming!
Helpless!
Indignant!
But helpless!
This is now the sentiment of everyone.
Especially Tao Yunqing, his face turned completely liver-colored, fists clenched tightly, not even noticing his nails embedding into the flesh.
On the other side, Liu Qingqing’s expression wasn’t good either.
She didn’t participate in the auction, but seeing the villain Qin Hao hogging all the limelight, it still made her very uncomfortable.
But at this moment, Qin Hao’s weak voice rang out: "Why is no one bidding anymore? Weren’t there a lot of flies buzzing energetically just now?"
Critical hit!
This sentence was a complete critical hit.
Tao Yunqing’s body became unsteady, almost falling off the chair.
Or else, it was He Sichao forcefully supporting him, saying with a full face of frustration: "Brother Tao, hang in there..."
