Chapter 364: Chapter 364 This is the gift our master sends you for the first meeting

"The final item is our heavyweight treasure for today." Even the host became excited, "This precious item was fortuitously obtained by Du Sang and graciously donated by Master Yun Yin—a pair of Vajra Relics!"

As the spotlight focused, the pair of jade beads in the glass cabinet gradually came into view for everyone.

As a member of the Xuan Sect, Jiang Li naturally knew about the Vajra Relics.

This type of Shariputra is among the most precious, and the ones exhibited by Du Sang were even more so.

The beads were round and lustrous, completely white, and flawless, resembling a piece of exquisite jade.

To be able to fire them to this quality, they indeed represented the pinnacle among Shariputras.

Considering their age, they were probably several centuries old and had been handled by the renowned Master Yun Yin of the Xuan Sect, which multiplied their value several times.

No wonder so many tycoons had arrived tonight.

Many in the audience were religious devotees, and the wealthier and more prominent they were, the more interested they were in such treasures of blessing.

Thus, even when the host announced a starting bid of ten million, the crowd beneath was still frantically competing.

Even Shang Shaojing raised his bidding panel.

"I bid fifteen million."

Jiang Li silently counted her fingers.

Hmm, fifteen million, she could earn that in a year by working herself to death in divination.

Not worth it.

Although she was quite fond of this pair of beads.

"Eighteen million!" A familiar voice sounded this time.

Jiang Li looked sideways and, as expected, saw Jin Siyue raising his bidding panel.

She hadn’t expected this Demon Lord of Mayhem to be interested in a Shariputra.

Jin Siyue wasn’t bidding for any other reason.

Old Sir Gu’s birthday was coming up, and his family had prepared many gifts. Having caused too much trouble recently, he thought of winning Old Sir Gu’s favor by acquiring a pair of Shariputras.

He had just learned that such a pair would be available at Du Sang’s evening event, so he had made an appearance.

But hearing Shang Shaojing’s voice, Jin Siyue’s expression soured even more.

Could it be that this little rascal also wanted to use the pair of Shariputras to curry favor with Old Sir Gu?

Bah, an outsider, how dare he compete?

Gu Yu was currently unaccounted for, and among both the Gu Family and Jin Family, it was he, Jin Siyue, who was in charge!

What did Shang Shaojing have to compete with him?

"Twenty million!" Jin Siyue swiftly added another five million.

But soon, others began to bid, and the pair of Shariputras quickly reached forty million.

However, this price was still within reason.

Jin Siyue gradually lost patience, tossing the panel to his assistant.

"Fifty-five million, dammit, a bunch of bastards, can’t you stop competing with me?!"

Shang Shaojing raised his panel again.

"Fifty-six million."

Jin Siyue: "....."

Now, even Su Yinwan was surprised.

"Brother Shaojing, is it really worth spending so much for a pair of Shariputras?"

Shang Shaojing replied indifferently, "Old Sir Gu is about to celebrate his birthday."

Su Yinwan suddenly realized.

The merchant and the Gu Family were somewhat related by marriage. Naturally, they would prepare a modest gift for the birthday of the Gu Family Patriarch.

If she herself could forge a connection with a family like the Gu Family...

Su Yinwan felt herself beginning to float on air.

That was the illustrious Gu Family, the only certified noble family in the Capital for centuries, not to mention the estate’s worth but also the honor and distinction were unrivaled.

"Dammit!" Jin Siyue slapped his thigh fiercely and glared venomously at Shang Shaojing, "Hey, nephew by marriage, can’t you give way to your elder?!"

Shang Shaojing cast a cold glance back.

"Mr. Jin, this is fair competition."

"Fine, a fair competition indeed." Jin Siyue stomped his foot on the sofa, "Dammit, I’ll go eighty million!"

Everyone around took a sharp intake of breath.

Although the Vajra Relics were top-notch,

eighty million was no small sum either.

It wasn’t worth bleeding so much for a pair of trinkets, and even less so to offend the little demon of the Jin Family.

Suddenly, the room fell utterly silent, and Shang Shaojing furrowed his brows without responding further.

Jin Siyue instantly felt comfortable and smugly twisted his wrist.

He had always said that anything he coveted, he obtained.

However, just as the auctioneer was about to strike down the gavel, a voice drifted over.

"I bid one billion."

Jin Siyue: ???

Others: ???

Whoa, who’s this magnanimous?!

"Who bid one billion? Who?!"

Jin Siyue completely panicked.

He was already upset by the heavy price Jiang Li had set, and now someone unknown had swooped in to snatch what was nearly his.

Surveying the room, Jin Siyue only then noticed that the voice had come from the direction of the second floor.

Using the dim light, he could faintly see a man standing on the balcony.

Tall and dressed in a tailored suit, only his neatly cuffed sleeve and a glimpse of his wristwatch were visible.

Jin Siyue recognized the brand immediately—at least thirty million.

Heh, indeed someone capable.

But he didn’t believe anyone there could outmatch him.

"Damn it, I really can’t stand this today."

Jin Siyue cursed as he led several people rushing upstairs.

Seeing this, the nearby bodyguard tried to stop him but was pushed away with a shove.

People below exchanged looks, afraid the little demon would escalate things further yet eager to see how it unfolded.

Unexpectedly, ten minutes later, Jin Siyue returned defeated and disgruntled.

"Let’s go, let’s go, I’m not buying; it’s just bad luck, hurry up and leave!"

Saying this, he and his group disappeared.

This couldn’t help but arouse even more curiosity among those present.

Who exactly was it that had made Jin Siyue retreat?

Could it be that member of the Gu Family who had returned?

"Wasn’t it said that the young master of the Gu Family had gone missing? Could it be him?"

"Would that master come to such a place? He rarely makes public appearances, doesn’t he?"

"He doesn’t seem the right age, but if not him, who else?"

"....."

Overhearing the surrounding discussions, Shang Shaojing’s expression also changed as his gaze unconsciously locked onto the person upstairs.

After seeing the watch on the man’s wrist, he sighed with relief.

Thank goodness, it was Assistant He, from Old Sir Gu’s side.

Not Gu Yu.

But... what was He Pingzhang doing here?

Unsurprisingly, the Vajra Relics eventually ended up in the hands of He Pingzhang.

But not long after, a man in a brown suit, carrying a box with the Shariputra inside, walked down and finally stopped right in front of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li hadn’t even swallowed the wine in her mouth when she heard the person in front of her say, "Miss Jiang, hello, this is a gift from my master to you, as a token of meeting."

Jiang Li: ?

Others: ???

Netizens: ???

[Whoa, who is this, splurging so big?!]

[Damn, this event is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, casually spending a billion to buy a pair of Shariputra?]

[Mom, has Sister Li been favored by a tycoon? A billion for a gift, damn, I want that too!]
