BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1896 Slap On Face 11
"…."
"Not only will they blame you, but they will also condemn Piaomiao Pavilion for its arrogance and disregard for the rules. Do you want to become everyone's enemy?" Wuxing admonished her through gritted teeth.
He felt fortunate that Zhao Dier hadn't caused any trouble thus far.
As the former Elder Miss of Piaomiao Pavilion, people had been lenient with her. However, now she was fully exposed.
Her chances of assuming the position of the Pavilion Head were rapidly dwindling.
Hearing Wuxing's words, Zhao Dier reluctantly sat back down, seething with anger.
Meanwhile, Gu Chaoyan remained composed, calmly striking the auction hammer. She continued her conservative bidding strategy, raising the bid whenever someone competed with her. It seemed like she was determined to win but didn't want to raise the stakes any further.
Zhao Dier found her behavior stingy and amusing.
"1 million!" Zhao Dier shouted out abruptly.
Upon hearing her bid, Gu Chaoyan didn't need to respond. Everyone present knew that this person was both foolish and wealthy. Consequently, a chorus of loud voices immediately followed, "1.5 million!"
"1.6 million." Gu Chaoyan added.
"2,000,000!" Zhao Dier would go crazy whenever she was competing with Gu Chaoyan.
"2,500,000!" Someone in the crowd added.
"2.6 million!" Gu Chaoyan added.
"2.8 million!" Zhao Dier shouted.
"3,300,000!" Someone shouted from the crowd.
"3.4 million." Gu Chaoyan added.
"3,600,000!" Zhao Dier did not want to be outdone. If they wanted to get more, she could do that too. But this time, she was smart enough to know that she was not going to win the bet. After she shouted the bid, she stopped. Anyone could have the meteor hammer.
Despite Zhao Dier's anticipation, an eerie silence permeated the room. No one else followed with their bids.
Even Gu Chaoyan had lost interest in the meteor hammer. It was a Dharma artifact with evident drawbacks as an enchanted armament. At this price, one could purchase multiple meteor hammers, making it an unattractive deal.
Zhao Dier started to panic.
So, no one was competing against her, yet she still got it?
Furious, she jabbed Wuxing with her elbow and whispered, "Call out one more bid, and Gu Chaoyan will keep going. I won't remain silent then."
Finally, Zhao Dier grasped the situation.
Wuxing didn't want them to acquire this item. Spending 2.8 million on the Heaven Dew Pills had already resulted in significant losses. It would be foolish to purchase the meteor hammer as well.
"3.7 million!" Wuxing shouted.
However…
The silence persisted.
Gu Chaoyan showed no intention of bidding, and neither did anyone else.
Wuxing felt a sense of helplessness wash over him. It appeared that they were going to end up with the meteor hammer after all.
Just as he resigned himself to the outcome, the auctioneer announced the next item.
"The next item up for auction is the upper-grade pill, the Flying Pill."
The mention of the Flying Pill instantly sparked a wave of excitement and chatter throughout the room.
