Chapter 151 - Sky-high Prices
Thinking about this, Yun Qianyu turned around and took a quick look at Xiao Jiuyuan. However, he wasn’t paying attention to her, instead, he was looking at the auction platform with squinted eyes.
Returning her gaze to the auctioning platform, Yun Qianyu saw the purple eyes phantom marten and for some reason, felt pity for it. She just couldn’t bear to see it die.
Finally, Yun Qianyu gritted her teeth and yelled out, “Six hundred eighty thousand Liang silver!”
The bidding price, which was previously at around six hundred fifty thousand, had now shot up to six hundred eighty thousand Liang silver.
As soon as Yun Qianyu shouted her bid, everyone in the auction house was shocked and turned around to look at Xiao Jiuyuan’s private room on the second floor.
They saw Yun Qianyu standing at the room’s window with an eager look on her face, which seemed to say that money was nothing to her.
Her sudden generous bidding amount not only shocked the people downstairs but the people with her, Xiao Jiuyuan and Xiao Yechen, were also taken aback.
‘What is this woman thinking?’
‘If she liked the purple eyed phantom marten, why didn’t she place her bid from the beginning?’historical
‘If she has no interest in it, then why place an outrageous bid right now?’
After some thinking, the two men suddenly thought of Xiao Tianyi. ‘Is Yun Qianyu doing this to spite Xiao Tianyi again?’
The two men thought about how Yun Qianyu had bid against Xiao Tianyi before just to spite him.
Xiao Yechen couldn’t help but ask, “Feather, are you doing this to spite Xiao Tianyi again?”
Yun Qianyu shook her head and said with a serious look on her face, “No, I want to bid for that purple eyed phantom marten.”
When they heard that, both Xiao Yechen and Xiao Jiuyuan looked at her speechlessly. Xiao Jiuyuan then said in a flat voice, “That purple eyed phantom marten is a spirit beast. Not only has it developed intelligence, but it is also quite powerful, while you have no spirit energy at all. How do you think you’re going to tame it? Do you think this is like raising cats and dogs?”
After Xiao Jiuyuan said that, his gaze became colder as he thought about the woman’s foolishness.
Yun Qianyu shrugged her shoulder and said without a care, “I know I can’t tame it. In fact, I have no plans for taming it.”
In her opinion, no one could tame the purple eyed phantom marten. She knew that it would rather die than yield to anyone.
So even if she had spirit powers, it may still not recognize her as its master.
Of course, Yun Qianyu would not tell them this. She only looked at Xiao Jiuyuan and said, “I just pity it, that’s why I want to bid for it. Also, I’ll let it go after I buy it, I don’t want it to yield to me.”
This time not only Xiao Jiuyuan, but even Xiao Yechen was dumbfounded.
He looked at Yun Qianyu and felt that he didn’t know the girl anymore. He thought that she was a very cold person and was especially fond of money. When did she become so generous and kind-hearted?
“Feather, that’s not like you.”
Xiao Jiuyuan chimed in, “Are you out of your mind? Did I say you could get it?”
Yun Qianyu’s face darkened and she wanted to say to him, ‘That is my silver, alright?’.
Just as the three were still arguing, in the opposite room on the second floor, someone laughed out loud and said, “Since the eldest young miss of the Yun family likes this spirit beast, we Chiang family will withdraw our bid.”
The Chiang family did this because of two reasons. On the one hand, they thought that the price was too high. On the other hand, they didn’t want to have a confrontation with Xiao Jiuyuan. That was why when Yun Qianyu placed her bid, they thought it was best to withdraw.
Even though the Chiang family withdrew, Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince, did not.
As soon as Xiao Tianyi heard Yun Qianyu’s bid, the man became so angry that he, without any hesitation, shouted, “Six hundred ninety thousand Liang silver!”
Without even giving it a thought, Yun Qianyu yelled out, “Seven hundred thousand Liang silver.”
