Chapter 356 - 356 Luo Qingyue
356 Luo Qingyue
Beside him, Old Wang said, “I’ve heard of him before. He’s a member of the Shen family, Shen Fei.”
“Shen Fei!” Brother Liu knew of this name.
Shen Fei was the grandson of the famous hero of the city, Richard. Many years ago, when they were facing the natural disaster of the wormhole, Shen Fei’s grandfather Richard and the mayor led an army of Beastmasters to protect the city from the dangerous spirit beast horde.
At this moment, Shen Fei was here at the auction, and he wanted the medicinal cauldron… Could it be that he wished to refine pills as well?
“Haha.” Brother Liu shook his head and said with a chuckle, “If even Shen Fei needs to refine pills, then this world would probably be in chaos.”
The fat man nodded his head. “In my opinion, this kid just wants to join in the fun.”
After which, he looked at the Skyburn Cauldron on the stage with a cold and gloomy gaze.
“Do you have a higher price than Young Master Shen? If not…” The old auctioneer’s eyes lit up and his face was filled with excitement.
“Humph! You’re just a child. How dare you fight with me!” Suddenly, a gray-robed young man sitting in the corner of the VIP seats stood up. “Ten million!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. Ten million! This amount was too frightening! Under such circumstances, no matter how precious the Skyburn Cauldron was, it would be difficult to exceed that price.
After all, the authenticity of the Skyburn Cauldron was yet unknown, and no one recognized it!
“Since no one is bidding, then congratulations to the young gentleman in gray!” The old auctioneer’s face flushed red with excitement.
Selling a medicinal cauldron for ten million was enough for him to brag about for a long time!
Suddenly, a crisp female voice called out, “Wait!”
Everyone looked over and realized that the person who spoke was a young girl! The young girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she had a tender and beautiful face.
Her bright eyes were filled with confidence. It was as if nothing in this world could stop her from advancing!
“That is…The third princess of the Luo Empire’s royal family, Luo Qingyue!”
At once, the entire auction house was in an uproar. No one expected that the imperial family would be in attendance at this auction!
If Luo Qingyue got the Skyburn Cauldron, it would definitely cause a huge uproar!
The Luo Empire was the only empire left in the territory. Although their strength was slightly inferior to the other empires, they were still a force to be reckoned with!
Luo Changfeng hurriedly stood up and tugged at Luo Qingyue’s arm. “Third Sister, why are you here? Go back quickly! Don’t cause trouble for Father!”
‘How could she interfere in such matters?’
“Let me go!” Luo Qingyue forcefully shook Luo Changfeng off. Her pretty face was cold as she glared at Luo Changfeng. “You don’t have to care about my matters! If you dare to stop me, don’t blame me for chasing you away!”
After saying that, Luo Qingyue walked straight toward the Skyburn Cauldron.
“Third Sister!” Luo Changfeng shouted anxiously, cursing in his heart.
This girl was simply doing whatever she wanted! Did she know the seriousness of this matter?
“Lady Luo!”
Just as Luo Qingyue was about to take two steps forward, an old man hurriedly stood in front of her. He was the attendant in charge of receiving Luo Qingyue in the Royal Trading District. How could he allow her to do whatever she wanted?
Today’s auction was organized by the Luo family themselves, one of the royal families on the continent.
At this moment, Shen Fei, who was watching from his seat, frowned as the situation unfolded before him.
If Luo Qingyue took the cauldron, he would not be able to bring it back. No, he could not let her succeed!
After thinking for a moment, Shen Fei’s lips curled up into a wicked smile.
After that, everyone heard the sound of footsteps, and turned their gazes away from the princess. When they saw Shen Fei, they were all stunned.
Shen Fei stood up slowly and looked coldly at Luo Qingyue. “I bid twenty million!”
“What is it? Twenty million!”
“Who is this young man? He can actually bid twenty million?!”
“This young man is deliberately going against the Third Princess, right?”
The entire place was immediately in an uproar, and their gazes all landed on Shen Fei. Even Brother Liu, the fat man, and Luo Changfeng revealed surprised expressions. They clearly did not expect Shen Fei to suddenly double the price.
“Hehe, this gentleman has bid twenty million. Are there any more bidders?” The old auctioneer said with a smile.
He had already studied this Skyburn Cauldron for a long time, but he could not find any flaws with it. It was a genuine item.
“Third Princess, are you sure you want to continue bidding?” The old attendant asked.
Luo Qingyue pursed her lips. “I bid Thirty million!”
Her words were like a bomb that exploded in the crowd, setting off another huge uproar!
“Thirty… Thirty million?” Brother Liu’s eyes were filled with shock.
Thirty million to buy a medicinal cauldron, this… Wasn’t this too wasteful?
“F*ck! This girl is crazy!”
“Damn it, why do I feel like we’re being played for fools!”
“That much money is enough for me to eat, drink, and play for the rest of my life!”
“Don’t mess around, Third Sister!”
Luo Changfeng grew worried by his sister’s reckless behavior. He knew that his third sister had been spoiled since she was young! However, this was not her fault. After all, she was the third princess of the royal family!
“I told you, you don’t have to worry about me!” Luo Qingyue glared at Luo Changfeng before turning to the old auctioneer on the stage with a determined look.
“Thirty million going once, Thirty million going twice…”
“Fifty million!” Shen Fei said.
Everyone’s gaze returned to Shen Fei.
...
‘Fifty million? This… Who exactly is this Shen Fei? He was actually so rich?!’
An ordinary person would not be able to fork out 50 million gold even if they sold everything they had!
The auctioneer said, “Fifty million, going once!… Going twice!… ”
Immediately after, the old man quickly walked in front of Shen Fei and respectfully said, “May I ask if you’d still want to raise the price?”
Shen Fei shook his head, indicating that the old man may announce the result.
The old man bowed respectfully and said in a clear voice, “Sold! Congratulations to you, Sir, for obtaining ownership of the Skyburn Cauldron!”
The entire hall was dead silent! Everyone’s eyes were wide as they stared at Shen Fei in disbelief.
‘He… Did he really spend fifty million to buy the Skyburn Cauldron?’
‘He… Is there something wrong with his brain?’
Luo Qingyue gritted her teeth and glared at Shen Fei. “Are you an idiot?”
This bastard was clearly deliberately going against her!
...
Hearing this, Shen Fei raised his head nonchalantly, and a trace of mockery flashed through his dark eyes.
After obtaining the medicinal cauldron, Shen Fei planned to leave immediately.
“Wait!” Luo Qingyue walked up to Shen Fei coldly.
“What do you want?” Shen Fei frowned as he looked at Luo Qingyue.
“I want this medicinal cauldron!” Luo Qingyue said coldly.
Shen Fei raised his eyebrows. ” Sorry, it’s already mine.”
“I’m willing to pay double the price for it!”
“I don’t lack money!” Shen Fei shrugged.
