Chapter 382 Guardian (Part 1)
"Senior Brother Wang, don't you want to have some fun?"
Zuo Xiaomo bid several times but failed to win the favor of Gu Fengyu. Not only was he not frustrated at all, but he was even more itchy.
He noticed that Wang Chen had been watching the excitement and had no intention of participating at all, so he couldn't help but said: "Which one you like, I will bid for you. If the price goes up, it's mine!"
It's really heroic.
Wang Chen smiled: "No need."
The core of gambling on stone and jade is the word "gamble". Once you fall into it, you will lose all your wealth sooner or later.
It looked extremely exciting, but in reality it was unfathomable. Wang Chen didn't want to jump into such a big pit.
So just take a look.
"Why."
Wang Chen's hard-hearted heart made Zuo Xiaomo helpless. He shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll try again. If I still can't get it, forget it."
While talking, the stall owner put out new ancient seal jade.
This piece of sealing jade looks very beautiful, the aura contains deep treasures, and even the real seal runes engraved on the jade surface are taller than the previous ones, giving people a very unusual feeling.
Zuo Xiaomo was an old player, and his eyes immediately lit up: "Ten Thousand Spirits!"
He didn't even wait for the seller to come up with the lowest price and directly shouted out a high price.
"Eleven thousand spirits!"
"Thirteen thousand!"
But other buyers would not be fooled and followed suit to increase their prices.
"Twenty thousand spirits!"
Zuo Xiaomo put on a posture of being determined to win, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Twenty-five thousand."
"I'll pay thirty thousand!"
"Thirty-five thousand!"
Seeing that he failed to suppress his competitors, Zuo Xiaomo was also furious: "Fifty thousand spirits!"
At this moment, the surrounding noise disappeared instantly, and several monks bidding with him showed hesitant expressions.
Although this ancient seal jade is in very good condition, it does not mean that there must be good things inside. It may be a huge pit that can make people bleed.
For example, what it seals is a panacea of astonishing value, or a rare treasure of heaven, materials, and earth.
However, because the elixir has been stored for too long, the elixir turns into dregs, and the spiritual material has decayed, then the elixir is worthless!
For an ancient seal jade like this, you can bet thirty or forty thousand souls on it.
Fifty thousand is high.
Zuo Xiaomo glanced around, the corners of his lips slightly raised, showing the confidence of winning.
"Fifty thousand and one hundred."
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly came from the side.
Hearing this voice, Zuo Xiaomo's expression suddenly changed.
I saw several young monks separated from the crowd and walked over, all wearing the standard robes of the outer disciples of the Xihai Sect.
The leader, handsome and arrogant, sneered at Zuo Xiaomo and said, "Xiao Qi, no matter how much you pay, I'm still a hundred taller than you."
Zuo Xiaomo's eyes twitched: "Zuo Qingcheng, don't be too crazy!"
"Am I crazy?"
Then Zuo Qingcheng looked surprised: "Why am I crazy? Are you running this Fairy Market? You are only allowed to bid, and no one else is allowed to bid?"
The few outer disciples who came with him laughed loudly, looking at Zuo Xiaomo with amusement in their eyes.
The people around them made room with a tacit understanding, allowing the brothers of the same family and clan to compete freely.
Zuo Xiaomo closed his mouth.
He knew very well that he could not defend the other party, and it would be humiliating himself.
Because what Zuo Qingcheng said is absolutely fine. He can bid, and others can also raise their prices. This is the rule of the fairy market.
"Sixty thousand spirits!"
Zuo Xiaomo squeezed out three words from between his teeth.
"Sixty thousand and one hundred."
Zuo Qingcheng was very impatient: "I said, no matter how much you offer, I will add one hundred, you must fight with me?"
Zuo Xiaomo really wanted to slap him in the face.
But taking action is a big taboo in Xianshi. Impulsiveness will only bring huge trouble to yourself and your family.
He also knew very well that if he raised the price, Zuo Qingcheng would most likely not follow.
Accusing the other party of going back on their word will only lead to ruthless ridicule - I'm just saying that!
After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and decided to give up and let the other party take the 60,000.
I'm definitely losing face, but at least the storage bag won't bleed.
"Count you in..."
"Sixty-one thousand."
What Zuo Xiaomo didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, Wang Chen next to him suddenly spoke up.
The price actually went up!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Chen.
Zuo Qingcheng's face darkened and he said: "Zuo Qingcheng, a descendant of the Zuo family in Xiaxihai, dare I ask my senior brother what his surname is?"
He saw the identity plate on Wang Chen's waist and knew that Wang Chen was a member of the Purple Mansion.
But there was no hint of weakness in his tone.
"I only know him as a descendant of the Zuo family in Xihai."
Wang Chen patted Zuo Xiaomo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What? Are you running this fairy market? You are only allowed to bid, and no one else is allowed to bid?"
But he slapped Zuo Qingcheng's words on Zuo Xiaomo's face word by word!
Zuo Qingcheng's face turned red: "Junior brother don't dare, junior brother has learned a lesson!"
Before he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left, not wanting to stay here any longer.
But before taking two steps, Zuo Qingcheng suddenly turned around, stared at Zuo Xiaomo and asked, "Is he the protector you chose?"
Zuo Xiaomo sneered and said: "Does it have anything to do with you? Pay attention to the tone of your words. Don't let people think that we, the descendants of the Zuo family, don't understand the importance of superiority and inferiority!"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Zuo Qingcheng said "good" three times in a row: "See you at the Kowloon Underground Palace!"
This time he really left.
He ran away in despair with his companions, looking somewhat embarrassed.
The stall owner smiled and handed the ancient seal to Wang Chen: "This master has been blessed with sixty-one thousand souls."
He watched a good show and made another huge sum of money. It was a real win.
"I come."
Zuo Xiaomo immediately took out his storage bag and prepared to pay the fee for Wang Chen.
Just now Wang Chen supported him and gave him a strong sigh of relief. Not to mention 60,000 souls, he would be willing to give double the amount.
Wang Chen reached out and took Feng Yu, then blocked Zuo Xiaomo: "I bought it, I paid for it myself."
Although his net worth has shrunk a lot now, he can still easily afford tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Zuo Xiaomo was moved and ashamed: "Senior Brother Wang..."
Wang Chen paid the spirit stone, but had no intention of opening it on the spot, so he left with Zuo Xiaomo.
Zuo Xiaomo also wanted to give Wang Chen the spirit stone.
Wang Chen shook his head and said, "I really want this seal jade, just for fun. If you feel embarrassed, just treat me to a meal."
Zuo Xiaomo scratched his head: "Then I invite you to go to the best place in Wanling City... uh, go to Qianshan Pavilion."
The best restaurants in Wanling City require reservations. With his status, it is impossible to get a reserved box there.
He almost said something big, his face was burning.
Wang Chen didn't care at all: "Well, let's go to Qianshan Pavilion. It's a rare time to come here and let's have a drink."
Zuo Xiaomo took a long breath: "Well, we won't be drunk until today!"
