What is this?” Tang Yuan retorted with anger and visible displeasure. “Is this how you treat your brother? If you want something, I’ll buy it for you, we two are brothers! What is the need to talk about all this? You are so serious that it tarnishes the relationship that we share!”
[TN: ‘Relationship’? Let’s go all rainbow here! :D]
“That’s not the case! We sure are brothers, but, that comes later. I never would take advantage of others and would never let others take advantage of me!” Jun Mo Xie grunted. This sentence was a code that he lived by in his past life and he staunchly believed in it.
“Okay, I agree to you! As long as there is some retribution to those bastards, I’m all yours!”
Jun Mo Xie smiled, and then closed his eyes to concentrate on letting out his spiritual awareness. His target of course were the adjacent box and the boxes of the two princes. Using the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune, he could disperse his spiritual awareness out and would be able to notice even the slightest fluctuations in his surroundings. Although he was not using his eyes to see, this was infact much more effective than him using only his eyes to observe as nothing could escape his notice under his spiritual awareness.
Then after a moment, this exceptionally silent hall, became even more quiet and one couldn’t even hear the sound of a person breathe. The curtain on the stage slowly opened up, revealing a colourful stage and there appeared to be a purple coloured stone on it. This was inlaid with hundreds and thousands of colourful precious stones and light was shining and reflecting off this, completely covering the stage. When people glanced at this, they would feel like they’ve entered a dreamland and feel extremely comfortable in an ethereal state. The whole look was magnificent to the extreme!
An old man was standing in front of a purple table and behind him stood two dazzling women holding a tray. The two women were wearing a silver coloured body fitting dress and as a man would lay their eyes upon them, they couldn’t help but have nefarious thoughts within their brains irrespective of how strong headed they usually were. Under the bright lights of the stage and coupled with their stunning innate beauty they did not look like humans but rather like two fairies who had descended from the heavens to grace everyone with their presence!
After a few polite words of greeting, the old man did not continue to bother with the pleasantries and immediately came down to business without beating about the bush. This man was this auction house’s seasoned veteran, he knew that no one was interested in him expressing his thanks, or his greetings and welcoming message, all they cared about was him to drop his hammer down and begin the sale of items.
“The first item for auction is….”
Six consecutive items were auctioned out. Though each one of those can be considered as rare and exotic, but most of them were merely decorative items. These items were something that Jun Mo Xie was obviously not interested in. In the adjacent room and the boxes of the two princes, also displayed an extreme lack of enthusiasm when these items were bought out and there was no noticeable activity. These items, all of them fell into the hands of some rich businessmen seated in the halls down bellow.
But, going with this trend of sky high prices, Jun Mo Xie felt somewhat weary. After all, the Burning Heart Meridian although rare, it is just another herb with good healing abilities and decent efficiency. It is not a particularly life saving herb and could not even be placed on the list of top ranking herbs. But, if this trend continues, by the time they bring out the Burning Heart Meridian, I’m afraid it will fetch an astronomical price!
[TN: In traditional auctions, the items were bought out in the ascending order of the value they might fetch]
How can this be? Don’t tell me that I’d have to employ some other trick?!
To make up for things, his guards had bought back a few million taels of silver, Jun Mo Xie frowned thinking of all this.
