Chapter 29 A Big Reward
1817 Words
Xing Yao's words just caused an uproar in the whole auction hall.
"11,000!"
"12,000!"
"14,000!"
People kept bidding.
In the wooden cabinet, hearing the crazy bidding voices in the auction hall, Lin Tian couldn't help feeling somewhat excited. Given the current bidding price, with the commission deducted, he could gain 9,800 spiritual coins, a net profit of more than 8,000 spiritual coins!
"A formation master does earn money so easily!"
Lin Tian said inwardly.
In the auction hall, the bidding price was still increasing, which had hit 17,000 by now.
"20,000."
Right at the moment, a casual voice sounded from the VIP room next to Lin Tian.
As the voice came, the whole auction hall became quiet instantly. Many people stared in the direction of the VIP area in frustration. The price of 20,000 was a bit too high.
"21,000!"
Suddenly, another voice sounded from another VIP room.
"22,000!"
The voice came again from the VIP room next to Lin Tian.
"Hey, Xiao Nan, hasn't your daughter Xiao Yun been enrolled by Jiuyang Martial Institution? You can ask her to teach you a few moves by then. Why do you waste your spiritual coins on the martial integrating formation pattern scroll?" The bidder was obviously familiar with the man in the VIP room next to Lin Tian. After mocking him a little, he said, "23,000!"
In the wooden cabinet, Lin Tian was slightly shocked.
Xiao Nan, Xiao Yun's father?
A glint of fierceness crossed his eyes. After a while, Lin Tian's mouth curved into a sinister smile.
In the VIP room next door, Xiao Nan snorted.
"Since when do I need you to teach me what to do? Can't I buy it and take it as a family heirloom?" Xiao Nan replied coldly and then increased his bid, "24,000!"
The other people were astounded. Xiao Nan and Qin Luo were the most famous rich businessmen in Fengjian City. They were the masters of the Xiao family and the Qin family, respectively. A lot of people were slightly shocked that they would compete for this auction item.
"25,000!"
Qin Luo said.
Very soon, amidst the astonishment of the others, Xiao Nan and Qin Luo competed fiercely, increasing the starting price of 10,000 spiritual coins for the three martial integrating formation pattern scrolls to 32,000!
"35,000!"
Xiao Nan said.
The auction hall fell into silence as if the whole world froze.
After a while of silence, a voice came, "I'm in a good mood today so I'll let you have the scrolls."
On the jade podium in the front of the auction hall, Xing Yao smiled sweetly in the direction of the VIP room of Qin Luo.
"35,000 spiritual coins from the master of the Xiao family, Xiao Nan. Any more bid?"
Xing Yao stared at the whole auction hall with a smile.
In the hall, all the people just shook their heads quietly. 35,000 spiritual coins were too many.
"The Xiao family is so impressive. Rich indeed."
"You bet."
"Can't beat him. 35,000. How can there be any more bid?"
Quite some people muttered.
Xing Yao looked around the hall with a coquettish smile all the time, "Since there is no more bid, I hereby announce the three martial integrating formation pattern scrolls..."
"40,000."
At the moment, a slightly deep voice came.
The auction hall was deadly silent instantly and then became a seething cauldron of thrill.
"40,000?!"
"Oh my gosh! Who is that?"
"Well..."
Many people looked up at a VIP room.
Xing Yao also looked up. However, when she found the VIP room where the voice came, she put on a surprised look on her pretty face. The person in the VIP room was the owner of the three scrolls. Why did he bid too?
In the wooden cabinet, Lin Tian lifted the corners of his mouth. He was the one offering the bidding price of 40,000.
He deepened his voice and said in a mocking tone, "The master of the Xiao family has tons of money but he is only willing to offer a bid of 35,000 spiritual coins in the face of Miss Xing Yao. Quite stingy. Humph."
Xing Yao's pretty face looked astonished but instantly, a strange glint crossed her eyes. She put on her enchanting look again.
"40,000 spiritual coins from the mister of VIP Room 3. Mr. Xiao, would you increase your bid?"
Xing Yao asked with a smile.
Her voice was so enchanting that many people were attracted to her.
"41,000!" Xiao Nan said.
"41,000? The bid increment is 1,000 only? How shockingly stingy!" Lin Tian said in a deeper voice and then smiled, "46,000 spiritual coins."
"47,000!"
"52,000."
In the auction hall, all the people goggled at VIP Room 3.
"Oh, my good lord! Who is that?"
"40,000, 46,000, 52,000... The bid increment is 5,000. This is insane!"
"The master of the Xiao family has been outshone. This is so..."
"He is the true super-rich man!"
There were murmurs in the auction hall.
Putting aside these ordinary people, even Xing Yao, a veteran auctioneer, also put on a strange look. She presided over hundreds of auctions. This was the first time that she saw someone bid in the increment of 5,000. However, she seemed to realize what the man in VIP Room 3 was up to. Without saying anything, she simply smiled in a more enchanting way.
"Mr. Xiao, 52,000 from VIP Room 3. Would you give a higher bid?"
Xing Yao asked with a smile.
Xiao Nan was in VIP Room 2. Hearing the voices in the auction hall, he saw Xing Yao staring in the direction of VIP Room 2. Instantly, with a thud, he smashed his hand onto the table.
"60,000!"
An angry and cold voice came from Xiao Nan.
"Oh my!"
The astonished voices reverberated through the auction hall.
Within an instant, the auction hall fell silent. Many people subconsciously looked at VIP Room 3.
"Clap. Clap. Clap..." The rhythmic claps came from VIP Room 3. Lin Tian deepened his voice and said with a faint smile, "What a top one rich family in Fengjian City! You are generous indeed. Humph. I don't bring sufficient spiritual coins with me so I will let you have the scrolls today."
His words just caused an uproar among the auction hall.
"60,000!" Someone muttered.
On the jade podium, Xing Yao put on a delighted look and said smilingly, "60,000 spiritual coins from the master of the Xiao family, Xiao Nan. Any more bid?"
The auction hall was quiet. 60,000 spiritual coins? How could anyone offer another bid?
With a thud, the golden bell on the jade podium was rung. Xing Yao stared in the direction of VIP Room 2, "Congratulations to Xiao Nan. The three medium martial integrating formation pattern scrolls of body cultivation are sold at the price of 60,000 spiritual coins. Our thanks also go to Xiao Nan for his support for the auction hall of Treasure Trading Pavilion. I will have someone sent them to your mansion later."
As she finished talking, Qin Luo instantly burst out laughing in VIP Room 1, "Haha. Xiao Nan, congratulations! 60,000 spiritual coins for three medium martial integrating formation pattern scrolls of body cultivation. How generous!"
"Qin Luo, shut up!"
Xiao Nan yelled furiously in VIP Room 2.
He spent 60,000 spiritual coins on three medium martial integrating formation pattern scrolls of body cultivation. What a big loss!
On the jade podium, Xing Yao glanced at VIP Room 3 casually with a coquettish smile.
In VIP Room 3, with a smile, Lin Tian stood up and walked out of the wooden cabinet.
"Xiao Nan, Xiao Yun and the Xiao family, just wait and see. Sooner or later, I will make you hand over double of the things you've stolen from the Lin family!"
Lin Tian sneered.
Putting aside the fact that he came from another world, most of the current assets of the Xiao family belonged to the Lin family, specifically, Lin Xi. He must take the things back! Doubly! Of course, the money was one thing. Over the past two years, he would also make the Xiao family pay for the grievance and irony that Lin Xi suffered from the Xiao family!
Outside VIP Room 3, the middle-aged man of Treasure Appraisal Hall was waiting aside quietly with his head lowered. After seeing Lin Tian come out, he instantly went forward with a respectful look, "Sir, your curiosities have been auctioned off. This way, please."
Lin Tian nodded and walked away with the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man ushered him into a more luxurious room, where Pu Shi was waiting. Seeing that the middle-aged man led Lin Tian here, he immediately stood up and greeted Lin Tian with a smiling face.
"Sir, please have a seat."
Pu Shi said with a smile.
"Thank you."
Lin Tian just picked a seat and sat down.
Pu Shi nodded at the middle-aged man. The latter instantly took the hint and got out of the room carefully.
"Sir, please wait a minute, your auction revenue will be brought here right away."
Pu Shi said.
Lin Tian nodded and waited quietly.
Shortly, a woman in red pushed open the door and entered the room through the other side.
The woman had a fair-complexioned neck, two long legs and a curvy body with a mature charm. She was exactly Xing Yao who presided over the auction just now.
With a tempting fragrance, Xing Yao gave a coquettish smile and came to Lin Tian, "Haha, is this handsome boy the owner of the three martial integrating formation pattern scrolls?"
Her charming voice sounded in his ears. When her scent rushed into his nose, Lin Tian in the black robe instantly shuddered.
"Handsome boy?"
Lin Tian cursed her as a siren inwardly and slightly took a step backward.
He didn't know that when the three martial integrating formation pattern scrolls were sent to the auction hall by Pu Shi, some of his information was revealed to Xing Yao, including his estimated age.
"Haha. Our handsome boy is bashful."
Xing Yao covered her mouth and giggled.
"Ahem." Pu Shi coughed and stood up. "Your Ladyship, please mind your behavior."
Xing Yao rolled her eyes and didn't care about Pu Shi's reminder at all. Instead, she approached Lin Tian closely and almost pressed her body against Lin Tian, "In fact, you are so insincere. You used me just now."
Lin Tian blushed.
Actually, Xing Yao didn't wrong him. He did use her just now.
"I did that for some reason. It was not only to raise the price. I'm sorry."
He explained.
Xing Yao gave a coquettish smile, "If others did the same thing, I would be pissed off. However, I'm not angry with you anyhow. How strange! Boy, do you know why? Is this a predestined encounter?"
While saying that, Xing Yao approached Lin Tian even more.
