Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Fighting Over The Item

"Thank you." Bai Xifeng nodded.

The guard left the room. Not long after that, the maids came into the room to serve her some refreshments and tea.

"Young Master Long, it is red date tea. I hope you enjoy it." The maid said.

"Sure... Sure... Thank you." Bai Xifeng said.

The maids left. Right now, a lot of people wonder about the identity of the young man who was being treated special by Shanghai Pavilion.

Shanghai Pavilion would not do something like this if the young man were not special. There must be something special about the young man.

They wanted to know but they restrained themselves tonight. They would try to investigate that later. The auction was very important right now.

The hall started to get filled with customers. All the VVIP rooms were full. Some of the customers wanted to be in the room but there was no room available anymore.

They did not dare to make trouble at Shanghai Pavilion, in case, they got banned from entering or purchasing anything from Shanghai Pavilion.

Bai Guowei, Bai Huiling, and Bai Zihao also got a seat in the open space. As for Bai Chunhua, the crown prince invited her to sit with him in the room.

Bai Huiling was jealous about that. She also wanted to sit in the room. It was more private.

However, Bai Guowei stopped her from going there. Afraid that the crown prince will be furious since he only invited Bai Chunhua.

Bai Chunhua was so happy that the crown prince invited her to join him in the room. She looked down feeling special. Not many people could afford the room. The crown prince must be paying a lot to get a room like this.

Bai Xifeng looked down. It was like an auction from her previous world. But in her previous world, only the rich attended the auction.

Well, she was also rich, but she disliked going to the auction. She did not like to waste her money on something like that.

She just went to the auction because she was the seller. And that was a black market.

The auction began when a beautiful woman went up to the stage wearing an azure robe. She was holding a sphere in her hand.

Bai Xifeng wondered what was with the sphere. Then, she finally understood the function of the sphere when the beautiful woman started to speak.

"Hello, everyone. I am Miao Shang. I will be your host today." Miao Shang said.

Her voice could be heard by everyone in the hall. The sphere was like a microphone in her previous world.

"Without wasting any time, let’s start the auction." Miao Shang stated.

Two men came out bringing a sword. It was an ice sword.

"Everyone, it is an ice sword. It had been crafted by a third-grade armament master, Master Sun Bing. This sword was very suitable for a person with a water element attribute. The starting price is 500,000 yuan. You can start the bid." Miao Shang said.

"510,000."

"520,000."

"550,000."

"600,000."

Everyone started to shout about the price. The price was still going up—a weapon from a third-grade armament master, who did not want that.

Bai Xifeng looked at the ice sword. It was indeed beautiful. She wondered how the person made the ice sword without melting the ice. She wanted to know that.

The price was 650,000 yuan at this moment. Miao Shang waited for another shout. Seeing no one increased the price anymore, Miao Shang started the count.

"650,000 yuan once. 650,000 yuan twice. 650,000 yuan final. The ice sword sold to number 139." Miao Shang shouted.

They quickly brought out another thing. It was a medicine ingredient that Bai Xifeng needed. It was Liuwen Immortal Grass.

"This is Liuwen Immortal Grass. It is used in making the elixir and pills. The starting price is 450,000 yuan." Miao Shang said.

"450,100."

"450,900."

"460,000."

Everyone began to shoot the price. Bai Xifeng was still silent. She will start to bid when the number of bids decreases.

The price was still going up. The price now was 465,000 yuan. Some people stopped bidding. Bai Xifeng looked down and saw Bai Guowei was also bidding for the ingredient.

"480,000 yuan." Bai Xifeng shouted.

Everyone was surprised to hear someone from the VVIP room also started to bid. Bai Guowei frowned. He really needed the ingredients.

The alchemist, Zhong Rong, requested the ingredient for the making payment when he requested a pill that could increase his strength and the possibility of him to advance. He really needed the ingredients.

"480,000 yuan once." Miao Shang counted.

"480,100 yuan." Bai Guowei shouted.

"480,500 yuan." Bai Xifeng increased the price again.

Bai Guowei gritted his teeth when hearing the price increase again.

"Guest in the room, can you please let me have this? I really need it." Bai Guowei said to the guest in the room.

"I wonder why Second Master Bai needs such an ingredient. You are not an alchemist or a pharmacist." Bai Xifeng responded.

"It does not matter. But I still need this item." Bai Guowei said.

"Well, unfortunately, I also need this item for making the elixir. I cannot give up the item." Bai Xifeng said. Then she continued. "480,800 yuan."

From the conversation, people could assume the guest from the VVIP might be an alchemist or pharmacist. It was a fifth grade since a lot of prescription or pill recipes that used Liuwen Immortal Grass were in fifth grade.

Or maybe he was buying for others. Who knew about that?

Bai Guowei’s face was red. He needed to try and get the ingredients.

"490,000 yuan." Bai Guowei increased the price by one yuan.

Bai Chunhua felt unpleasant seeing her father getting bullied like that.

"Your Highness, can you please help my father?" Bai Chunhua asked the crown prince.

"Okay. I will try." Liu Jun said.

"Guest from room number 2, can you please give up the item and let Second Master Bai have it?" Liu Jun spoke.

Bai Guowei was pleased when hearing the crown prince speak for him. It must be her daughter, Bai Chunhua who asked for the crown prince’s help.

"Huh? Why should I? Why are you speaking like I need to give up based on what you ask? How big is your face?" Bai Xifeng snorted.

Everyone felt it was funny. But they held their laugh in case, they might offend the crown prince.

"You??? How dare you speak rudely to me, the crown prince?" Liu Jun shouted.

"Oh, it is the crown prince. It is rude of me to talk to you like this." Bai Xifeng said.

"You should apologise now and give up the item. I will gladly forgive you." Liu Jun’s corner mouth curved up.

"What? Why should I do that? I am sorry but I will not give up the item. If you want to have the item for your future father-in-law, you can join the bidding?" Bai Xifeng responded with a small laugh.

Now, everyone wondered who the young man was. He was so brave talking to the crown prince like that.

Some people assumed that this young man was not from Liuyun Empire. Maybe he was someone from another strong country. That was why he dared to talk to the crown prince like that.

Liu Jun was very embarrassed when the young man did not give a face to him.

"Your Highness." Bai Chunhua grabbed Liu Jun’s hand to calm down his anger.

Liu Jun felt cold in his head when hearing Bai Chunhua’s words.

"Hua-er, I am sorry for not being able to help your father." Liu Jun sighed.

"No need to worry. I think my father will understand." Bai Chunhua smiled.

"490,100." Bai Xifeng shouted the pain again.

Bai Guowei gritted his teeth again. He might lose the ingredient at this rate. He started bidding again.

"490,101." Bai Guowei increased the price by one yuan again.

"It seems second master Bai really wants to have the item. If you still bid the price after this price, I will give up." Bai Xifeng said. She then shouted. "500,000."

The price increased by 1,000 yuan. Bai Guowei only assumed that he would get the ingredient in at most 450,000 yuan. He could not choke out 500,000 yuan just like that.

"500,000 yuan once. 500,000 yuan twice. 500,000 yuan final. The guest number 2 gets Liuwen Immortal Grass." Miao Shang announced.
