Chapter 469: Chapter 468: Young Master, I’m Sorry, I Was Wrong! (Second Update)

Lin Fan’s brows furrowed: "Why is this happening?"

"They are suspicious!" Emperor Jade said.

"Suspicious?"

"Yes! They suspect that the Shennong Nine Cauldrons have other uses, but they are not sure what those are, so they jumped the starting bid from 10,000 Spirit Stones to 100,000 Spirit Stones. Once you start bidding, wouldn’t that prove there is something wrong with the Shennong Nine Cauldrons?" After speaking, Emperor Jade closed her mouth.

She believed that Lin Fan definitely had his own ideas.

Indeed.

Lin Fan nodded slightly.

Then, he silently sat there and did not place a bid.

"100,000 Spirit Stones, is there no one bidding?" the auctioneer, noticing the lull, gave a reminder.

The scene was somewhat noisy, with everyone discussing in quiet voices.

But no one placed a bid.

Lin Fan sat there, ignoring the seemingly casual glance from the auction house staff, showing no intention of bidding.

"100,000 Spirit Stones! Truly, no one is bidding?" the host asked again.

Still silence.

Thus, after the host called out three times, he could only reluctantly say: "In that case, this item will be temporarily withdrawn from the auction!"

At an auction, a withdrawal means that the item did not sell and is recollected by the auction house—that is a withdrawal.

Then.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the Shennong Nine Cauldrons were taken back.

Throughout the process, Lin Fan’s gaze did not linger on the Shennong Nine Cauldrons again, showing complete disinterest.

At the same time, every move Lin Fan made was keenly observed by Yuan Wanxuan in the second-floor private room.

Underneath the veil, a hint of hesitation flashed through Yuan Wanxuan’s beautiful eyes, "Could it be that there’s really nothing wrong with the cauldron, and I’m overthinking it?"

"Miss, it seems this object is just an ordinary pill cauldron. If it were truly valuable, that young man would definitely raise the bid!" Yuan Feng looked at Yuan Wanxuan reverently.

"No!"

Yuan Wanxuan still shook her head, a trace of doubt appearing in her beautiful eyes: "After the auction ends, continue to auction this item with a starting bid of 30,000 Spirit Stones! If he bids, we will compete!"

"I follow your command!"

Yuan Feng reluctantly nodded.

Since Yuan Wanxuan was the daughter of Yuanling Commerce, he didn’t dare to say much and could only follow the hassle.

Soon.

The auction ended, and according to the rules of the auction house, items withdrawn midway would be put up for sale again at a lower price after the auction.

Most of the customers had left the venue, leaving only around a hundred people still waiting on site.

Lin Fan waited for about half an hour, and the Shennong Nine Cauldrons indeed reappeared on stage.

But this time, the starting bid was 30,000 Spirit Stones.

Once the host announced the price, Lin Fan immediately bid, saying: "30,001 Spirit Stones!"

"Heh, indeed there’s a catch, this kid is quite clever. Yuan Feng, get someone to keep bidding!" Up in the second-floor box, Yuan Wanxuan chuckled lightly upon seeing this scene, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes.

"Yes!"

After Yuan Feng nodded in response, he took out a Sound Transmission Magical Artifact and transmitted: "Raise the bid!"

Following that.

Immediately at the auction venue, a middle-aged man stood up and said: "35,000 Spirit Stones!"

Lin Fan frowned and called out: "40,000 Spirit Stones!"

"40,000? Heh, he’s really willing to spend! Keep raising the bid!" A triumphant smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Wanxuan’s mouth.

"45,000 Spirit Stones!" The middle-aged man continued bidding.

After thinking for a while.

Lin Fan, unexpectedly, fell silent.

He did not continue to bid.

This left Yuan Wanxuan in the private room on the second floor extremely surprised.

"Huh? Why isn’t he continuing to bid?"

"Miss, could it be that in this person’s eyes, the Dan Ding is only worth forty thousand Spirit Stones? Any more than that, and it’s simply not worth the money. Look at his demeanor; he shows not the slightest bit of reluctance or pity... Perhaps you really are overthinking it; the cauldron is just an ordinary Magic Artifact." Yuan Feng said somewhat helplessly.

This miss was good in every aspect, just a bit too suspicious.

After a few rounds of bidding, the Shennong Nine Cauldrons were bid up to fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

Then there were no more bids.

In the end, it was bought back by people from the auction itself.

"What’s the matter, Little Fan? Why didn’t you bid again?" Emperor Jade transmitted her voice and asked.

"It’s useless. My bidding this time was just to let these people know that in my heart, the cauldron is worth about forty thousand Spirit Stones. Any higher price, and I probably wouldn’t be able to get it even if I continued bidding!" Lin Fan silently shook his head and transmitted his voice in reply.

"You’re right! Even if you continued to bid, you wouldn’t be able to buy it; someone would compete with you." Emperor Jade nodded in agreement.

Of course.

Lin Fan hadn’t given up on the Shennong Nine Cauldrons; he was preparing to find another way.

If all else failed, when the time came to find out the location of the Shennong Nine Cauldrons, he could just use Instant Escape and steal it; there were plenty of methods.

After the auction concluded, Lin Fan didn’t stay for a moment longer and left the auction house.

Just as Lin Fan had stepped out of the auction house’s main entrance, preparing to return to the inn, Yuan Feng appeared in front of Lin Fan.

"Esteemed guest, please wait a moment. My young miss has invited you!" Yuan Feng approached with a smile.

"Your miss?" Lin Fan frowned slightly.

He had already guessed a bit in his mind; this so-called miss was probably the woman that Emperor Jade had mentioned earlier.

"Yes, my miss has some questions for you, so please come with me!" Yuan Feng gestured invitingly, indicating that Lin Fan should return to the auction house.

"Not interested!"

Lin Fan turned around to leave, not giving any face at all.

Yuan Feng was stunned for a moment, not expecting Lin Fan to be so disrespectful. He stepped forward to block Lin Fan, speaking sternly: "Guest, there has never been a person my young miss wishes to see that she hasn’t been able to. So, please come back with me!"

Yuan Feng’s Cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

While Lin Fan’s Cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Therefore, Yuan Feng was not afraid of Lin Fan, and his tone even carried a hint of threat.

Lin Fan’s expression darkened.

Suddenly.

A voice like the sound of heavenly bells came from the entrance of the auction house: "Hehe, Yuan Feng, how are you speaking to the guest? If the guest doesn’t wish to see me, I will come out personally. Our Yuanling Commerce’s auction house always puts customers first. Yuan Feng, aren’t you going to apologize?"

"Yes, Miss!"

Without any hesitation, Yuan Feng’s threatening demeanor completely disappeared without a trace.

Bowing at ninety degrees to Lin Fan, he said, "I apologize for my wrongdoings, sir!"

"Step back!" ordered Yuan Wanxuan.

"Yes, Miss!"

Yuan Feng immediately stepped back respectfully, his body slightly stooped, much like a servant.

Lin Fan turned around, looking coldly at the woman in front of him, wearing a blue gown and a veil over her face: "You wanted to see me for something?"

"My name is Yuan Wanxuan, I am in charge of this auction house. May I know your name, sir?" Yuan Wanxuan asked with a smile.

"Lin Fan." Lin Fan said succinctly, sparing his words.

"So, it’s Sir Lin Fan." Yuan Wanxuan nodded, as the incidents involving the Baili family and Vermilion Bird City had not yet spread here.

Therefore.

Yuan Wanxuan had not heard the name Lin Fan before.

And the name ’Lin Fan’ was quite common; in a million people, there were probably several with this name.

"Judging by Sir Lin Fan’s reaction, you seem to be very interested in this cauldron. I just don’t understand why after making a bid, you suddenly stopped bidding. If Sir Lin Fan tells me the use of this cauldron, I will give it to you without charging a single penny. How about that?" Yuan Wanxuan suggested with a smile.

With a raise of her hand.

The Shennong Nine Cauldrons appeared in Yuan Wanxuan’s palm, suspended in mid-air.
