Chapter 146 - Hijacking an Auction House
Although Yun Qianyu was mentally cursing at him she did not let her emotions show, afraid that Xiao Jiuyuan could see through it.
Xiao Jiuyuan looked at her for a while and slowly asked, “So you are the petty one?”
Yun Qianyu’s face darkened but she ultimately clenched her teeth and said, “Yes, I am a petty person.”
“I’m the gentleman?”
Yun Qianyu felt a great urge to hit someone in the face right away! At such a crucial time, Xiao Jiuyuan was still trying to make it hard for Yun Qianyu, toying with her desperation.
Hearing how the auction was proceeding downstairs, Yun Qianyu was worried that the Essence Cleansing pill would be taken by someone else. Even though she was in a rush, she couldn’t just leave Xiao Jiuyuan hanging.
“Yes, your Highness is a gentleman and a great man. You’re definitely the bigger person here.”
‘That should be enough, right?’
Seeing how desperate Yun Qianyu was, Xiao Jiuyuan finally decided not to play with her anymore.
“Go bid for it.”
Yun Qianyu quickly turned around and looked out of the window. At this time, the Essence Cleansing pill bidding price was already at thirty thousand Liang silver.
There were a lot of people bidding for the Essence Cleansing pill. Even though the price wouldn’t be low, Yun Qianyu was determined to get the item.
Just as Yun Qianyu was about to open her mouth and put in her bit, Xiao Jiuyuan suddenly said, “Xiao Yechen, go and bid for the item.”
Xiao Yechen raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Jiuyuan curiously. He couldn’t understand why Xiao Jiuyuan would want him to bid for the item. Not only that, but he also noticed that Yun Qianyu seemed to want the item badly. ‘Why would Feather want an Essence Cleansing pill?’
In fact, Xiao Yechen really wanted to help Yun Qianyu bid for the Skin Regeneration pill, so that she didn’t have to be despised by others for her scarred face anymore. However, he didn’t expect that Xiao Tianyi would be instructing Lu Waner to bid for the beautifying pills.
Xiao Yechen actually didn’t realize that Lun Waner was under instructions from Xiao Tianyi. Only after listening to Yun Qianyu’s words did he realize that Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince, was actually the real a*shole.
Now for some reason, Xiao Jiuyuan had asked him to bid for the Essence Cleansing pill. The most important thing was that Feather also seemed to want it very badly.
‘Since Feather wants it, I’ll get it for her!’
Xiao Yechen got up and placed his hands on the windowsill of the private room. He looked out at the auctioneer and shouted, “Fifty thousand Liang silver.”
In the hall on the ground floor, many people opened their mouths and wanted to swear at this foolish bidder. However, when they looked up, they were shocked to see Xiao Yechen at the window.
Xiao Yechen didn’t stop after shouting his bid, with a stern look on his face he followed by threatening everyone in the hall, “Now I’d like to see who dares to rob this elixir pill from me. Anyone that dares to take that elixir pill will have to answer to me and my army!”
Everyone, even some of the people on the second floor, was taken aback.
‘Isn’t he just taking the elixir pill? He’s not even bidding for it!’
Many actually felt threatened by Xiao Yechen. Xiao Yechen, the An Prince, had twenty thousand personal guards under his command.
For some reason, the emperor only allowed An Prince and Li Prince to have an army of personal guards. At present, only the An Prince and Li Prince actually controlled their own army.
Unfortunately for the other families, these two princes had a cozy relationship. That was why even when Xiao Yechen said something so preposterous, no one on the ground floor dared to challenge him.
The people in the private rooms on the second floor were, for the most part, not afraid of Xiao Yechen. However, they felt that it was meaningless to offend Xiao Yechen for the sake of a single Essence Cleansing pill.
Although the Essence Cleansing pill was a rare and useful item, it wasn’t worth fighting Xiao Yechen for it.
