Douluo: Why is Qian Renxue not in love anymore?

Chapter 100 Auction (6)

Ning Fengzhi's eyes softened a little, and he spoke slowly, his voice gentle but with a force that could not be ignored: "Three hundred and one hundred thousand gold soul coins."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was another commotion in the auction hall. Everyone looked at each other and talked a lot, but they all lowered their voices and did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Although Ning Fengzhi's figure had not yet fully revealed, the majesty and composure coming from a superior had already made everyone feel an indescribable pressure.

Li Muyun's body trembled slightly. He had not expected Ning Fengzhi to raise the price again. His eyes suddenly became sharp, as if they could penetrate the crowd and look directly at Ning Fengzhi in the white area.

He was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

Just when everyone thought he would continue to raise the price, he slowly sat back in his chair, folded his hands, looked deeply at the auction table, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Five hundred thousand gold soul coins!" His voice resounded throughout the auction hall. Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, causing ripples.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire auction hall was instantly boiling with exclamations and discussions interweaving into one, as if even the air was shaking.

People's faces were filled with shock and disbelief; some covered their mouths, while others widened their eyes as if they had seen something unbelievable.

Five hundred thousand gold soul coins. This number was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves.

There was an uproar in the auction hall. The faces of the nobles were filled with astonishment and confusion. They whispered to each other, questioning one after another: "Does this guy really have so much money?" "Is he just bluffing?"

Li Muyun sat on the chair, his face as calm as water. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and he turned a deaf ear to the doubts around him.

He raised his hand gently and tapped the armrest with his fingertips. Each tap seemed to be a silent response to those doubts, revealing an unquestionable confidence and composure.

The auctioneer stood on the stage, his eyes swept across the audience, and finally fixed on the direction where Li Muyun was. His voice was clear and powerful, penetrating all the noise: "Everyone, please be patient. Regarding the payment ability of VIP No. 2, our auction house has conducted a strict review and confirmed that it is correct. Everyone here is a distinguished guest. Our auction house has always been based on integrity and will never let any guest suffer losses."

The auctioneer's voice once again echoed in the empty hall, with a hint of unquestionable solemnity: "Everyone, 500,000 gold soul coins is currently the highest bid. Is there anyone willing to bid higher to compete for this girl with a rare mutant martial soul?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire auction hall fell into a brief silence, with only the sound of the flickering candlelight and the occasional whisper. The nobles' eyes wandered between each other, but no one dared to speak easily.

A complicated look flashed across Ning Fengzhi's eyes. Just as he was about to bid again, a deep and magnetic voice sounded quietly beside his ear. It was the white-haired old man standing behind him, whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sect Master, this person is Star Douluo Li Muyun, and the power behind him cannot be underestimated. This bidding is actually a contest between the Spirit Hall and our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in terms of financial strength and reputation. One wrong step will lead to a complete loss."

Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Star Douluo Li Muyun. No wonder he is not afraid of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. However, this is also a battle of financial strength between Spirit Hall and our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. We cannot lose!"

The atmosphere in the auction hall was extremely tense, and every slightest noise seemed to be infinitely magnified. Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with determination and deep thought. He slowly raised his head, his eyes penetrating the crowd, as if he could look directly into Li Muyun's unfathomable eyes.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and challenge the seemingly unshakable 500,000 gold soul coins again, the white-haired old man behind him spoke in secret again, his voice low and firm: "Sect Master, the influence of the Spirit Hall is all over the continent. Li Muyun's move is both a personal will and a test of the Spirit Hall. If we blindly follow suit, we may fall into the trap set by the other party and affect the long-term layout of the sect."

Ning Fengzhi nodded gently, with a subtle hint of compromise and foresight flashing across his brows. He slowly lowered his eyes and folded his hands in front of his abdomen. His calmness and majesty were enough to shock the whole audience even in silence. The auctioneer saw this and understood what he meant. She cleared her throat, and her voice was particularly loud in the quiet air: "Everyone, since no one bids anymore, then the final owner of this auction is the VIP No. 2 who bid gold soul coins."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was another slight ripple in the auction hall, but it was soon replaced by an inexplicable depression.

Li Muyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and that meaningful smile seemed even more mysterious under the candlelight. He raised his hand gently, signaling the servants beside him to prepare to receive the girl.

After learning about the turning point of her fate, the girl's eyes flickered with complex light, showing uncertainty about the future and a desire for freedom.

Soon, another auction item was pushed up. This time it was just a small cart, and the things on the cart were not covered with red cloth. Seeing this thing, next to Ning Fengzhi, Tang San couldn't help but laugh and cry. But Xiao Wu couldn't help but say: "Brother, isn't this our innuendo?"

That’s right, the object that was pushed onto the stage was the hidden weapon that Tang San had just gone to have appraised not long ago and was marked with the lowest reserve price in the auction house.

Of course, this so-called lowest price is already a large number for ordinary people.

"Innuendo? What a good name." Ning Fengzhi smiled at Tang San. Tang San wanted to see something in his eyes, but all he saw was a deep gaze.

On the stage, the auctioneer was introducing, "The following auction item is praised by the auctioneer as the most sophisticated weapon. Dear guests, don't underestimate its small size, because its power is amazing."

As he spoke, the auctioneer took the innuendo from the tray and said, "Our appraiser doesn't know how this weapon is made, but once it is used, it can instantly fire out thirty-six steel needles. These needles can penetrate a one-centimeter thick steel plate within a range of fifteen meters, and are quenched with paralytic toxins. While firing the needles, there will also be a puff of fog to cover it. It is a rare self-defense weapon. It can be fired three times in total. If used properly, it can easily make the opponent lose their ability to resist in battle."

The auctioneer's voice echoed in the hall, with a bit of excitement and expectation: "Everyone, such an exquisite hidden weapon, the starting price is only one thousand gold soul coins! This is not just the value of a weapon, but also the crystallization of wisdom and creativity."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed with determination. He pressed the button and directly bid 10,000 gold soul coins.

As soon as this price was announced, the entire auction hall became lively again. People were whispering to each other and looking at Ning Fengzhi in disbelief.

Ten thousand gold soul coins is an astronomical figure for most people, but he quoted it so casually, which shows how wealthy he is and how determined he is to get this hidden weapon.

"Uncle, did you press the wrong button? You can't spend money like this even if you have money." Xiao Wu had been paying attention, and when she saw him press the 10,000 gold soul coins, she couldn't help but remind him.

Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and said, "I can't let you lose money. After I raise the price, I'm afraid no one will come to compete."

However, at position number one in the red zone, Qian Renxue's fingers gently slid across the crystal button in front of her, her movements graceful and confident, as if this was just a little pastime in her daily life.

Following her action, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall froze instantly, and everyone's eyes involuntarily focused on her.

The crystal button flashed, and then, on the big screen of the auction house, the number representing the highest bid slowly jumped and finally stopped at "12,000 gold soul coins."
