Capítulo 42: It is Totally A Counter!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fortunately, the childe did not only look at Gu Xijiu. Instead, he started scanning through all the guests on the second floor before he slowly sat down and waited for another herb to be auctioned.

Finally, the illusion weed that Gu Xijiu had wanted to get her hands on was being auctioned. Like the other herbs, it was placed in a crystal box. The crystal box was exquisitely carved and a crimson-colored weed could vaguely be seen.

This weed was extremely rare; hence, the bidding price started at 50,000 ounces of silver. As Rong Chu was determined to win this weed, he raised the bid to 100,000.

Even though the childe usually raised the bidding price by 100,000 ounces of silver for the other herbs, he changed his mind this time. As Rong Chu had just finished his sentence, he slowly said, "Add an ounce of silver!"

Rong Chu was gnashing his teeth and bid again, "150,000!"

The young childe then bid once more, "150,001."

"200,000!" Rong Chu simply added 50,000 each time he raised the bid.

"200,001." Said the childe. His voice was still rather calm.

"250,000!"

"250,001."

...

It was totally a showdown between Rong Chu and the childe now!

Rong Chu clenched his fists as he stared coldly at the childe. If his eyesight could kill, the childe would have died 800 times by now.

The Tianwen saint, who was sitting by his side, showed signs of trembling at her lips. The eyes of Rong Chu flashed and he calmly continued his bidding.

The childe knew that Rong Chu wanted this herb very much and kept bidding without even blinking an eye. As they kept bidding, the price of the herb had gone up to 800,000. "What an insane price!" Gu Xijiu thought to herself.

Though the guests present were rich and knowledgeable men, it was their first time witnessing such an intense bidding competition. Therefore, the hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping would have been heard.

"800,001." The childe was fanning himself with a folded fan while he looked at Rong Chu on the second floor with a smile on his face, as if he was taunting him to bid again.

Unexpectedly, Rong Chu smirked as he glanced back at him. He then sat down and said indifferently, "Since you care so much for this herb then I’ll not compete with you anymore. The illusion weed is yours!"

The childe was quiet, "…"

The others too, "…"

Many of them had a good relationship with Rong Chu, and some even knew that he purposely came today just to get his hands on the illusion weed. They had not expected that he would have given up that easily!

As the others had been observing him for quite some time, they felt that the childe was only intentionally bothering Rong Chu and had not intended to win the bid for the illusion weed. The childe should be facing trouble now since Rong Chu had suddenly withdrawn himself from the auction bid.

800,000 ounces of silver was the total income an upper class would have earned throughout his life!

The childe was stunned for a moment before he blinked his eyes and looked towards Rong Chu on second floor, "Fourth prince, are you sure that you do not want to bid anymore? This herb is very special and is most certainly worth its current price. I’m sure that you’ll regret it if you don't. Why don't you raise the bid a little, even if it’s just an ounce of silver, and I’ll stop bidding against you…"

Rong Chu was excited by what he just said. After all, he had caused him to pay hundreds of thousands of ounces of silver and finally Rong Chu could make him pay too!

"A true gentleman never snatches away what is loved by others. Since you like it so much, I will not fight with you over the illusion weed anymore." Rong Chu made an elegant remark.

"Are you serious?" the childe questioned again.

...


Capítulo 43: Are You Certain Of Not Having It Today No Matter What?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The childe sighed worryingly and replied, "Alright, I’ll have it then."

When the thudding sound of the hammer was heard, the childe took out a stash of notes and handed it over. Then, he added an ounce of silver on top of the notes.

The other bidders were looking at him like he was some sort of a joke as he had just spent as much as 800,000 ounces of silver to buy a herb that was worth only 50,000…

The childe held the crystal box in his palm, looked at it and sighed. He then took a look at it for a second time and sighed again.

When Rong Chu saw his reaction, he felt especially excited and purposely asked, "My brother, why are you still sighing when you have gotten what you wanted?"

The childe raised his head to look at Rong Chu on the second floor and asked again as though he had not given up on him yet, "Fourth prince, are you sure that you do not want this weed?"

Rong Chu felt refreshed and excited, hence, he replied, "No!"

"Are you certain that you would not request to buy it from me today no matter what happens?"

"Yes, I do not want that particular illusion weed regardless of what happens." Rong Chu replied instantly.

"Alright then." The childe finally gave up. He slowly opened the box, observed it carefully and suddenly, he laughed, "I couldn’t believe that I was able to buy one of the best illusion weeds which had been aged for 3,000 years for only 800,000 ounces of silver! Yes!"

Everyone was stunned by his words!

Rong Chu dropped the tea cup that he was holding onto the floor and shouted, "What?!"

It was difficult to obtain an illusion weed and thus a weed that was about 10 years in age costed about 50,000. Those that were usually auctioned were mostly of this type.

A 3,000-year-old illusion weed was considered a legendary item! It was regarded as priceless; hence, worth even 800,000 might not have been enough to purchase it!

The whole hall was thrown into excitement!

Rong Chu was stunned for a moment and he suddenly laughed coldly, "Liar! I don't believe him! How on earth could it possibly be 3,000 years old? It was probably just 10 years old!"

The childe replied leisurely, " I didn't ask you to believe me..." And slowly, he wanted to put the box into his sleeve…

"Little brother, hold on! Can you please let me see it?" The Tianwen saint glided down from the second floor and stood in front of the childe.

The saint was well known for her arrogance and she looked down on almost everyone. Even the fourth prince, Rong Chu, respected her. As for the rest, it would have been an honor if they could speak to her even if it was just for a moment.

The saint was standing there in her floating dress as she smiled. Though she was asking him to see it, it felt as though she was not giving him a choice. Anyway, she was not expecting him to reject her.

The childe did not reject but he offered her a deal and said, "Sure, but it would cost you 10,000 ounces of silver!"

The saint was shocked and said, "What?"

"Pay me 10,000 ounces of silver if you want to see it." The childe said again more precisely.

The saint was speechless, "…"

"Do you not know me? I’m the Tianwen saint, Gu Xixi…" The saint introduced herself.

"20,000 then…" The childe did not bother listening to her and increased his price instead.

The saint was furious, "You..."

"30,000."

"You…how dare you charge me such an exorbitant price?!"

"40,000." The childe said leisurely, "Saint, I can charge you any price I like as the illusion weed belongs to me and I will not accept any negotiations. I will not force you to pay if you are unwilling to, and you can always choose not to see it. Oh! Now you have made me talk so much, the price has just been increased to 80,000. If I must speak anymore, you’d have to pay 90,000 instead. Do you really want to see it?"
