Upon hearing this loud "0", the entire audience went into turmoil, and the incessant voices of ridicule could be heard.
"This person must be a fool! This is a 10,000-year spiritual ginseng. How can it be free!"
"I guess this brother is still sleeping! Tsk! Tsk! He's already thinking about getting free lunches at such a young age."
"That's right. A certain big shot already called out a bid of 10 billion, and this idiot actually called out a zero. What a waste of food to nurture his brain to this age."
Just as everyone was casting aspersions on Lu Chengsheng, the host finally recovered from his shock. He slammed the gavel down forcefully and said excitedly, "Congratulations to this gentleman for calling out the winning bid!"
Everyone's heads was buzzing. The slap in the face came too quickly, and they couldn't react in time at all.
What was wrong with this world?
Had it gone crazy?
The 10,000-year spiritual ginseng was actually given away for free. Its price was not even comparable to a cabbage in the grocery market?
In the private room, Xi Zhimo's face was ominous as he looked at Lu Chengsheng's smug face downstairs. He smashed the other one-of-a-kind teacup in his hand to the floor.
How dare a mere entertainer go against him every step of the way!
How could he put up with this?
Xi Zhimo immediately made a phone call and said in a vicious voice, "Bring him up here!"
A few minutes later, Qin Yin led a thick, dark mass of subordinates and came to Ye Si and Lu Chengsheng. He looked embarrassed and apologetic as he said, "Miss, there's an important guest who wants to invite your friend up for a chat. Do you think you can do us a favor?"
"Leader, please cover me!" Lu Chengsheng was frightened into submission the moment he heard that and hid behind Ye Si.
Even Ye Si was a little surprised by this sudden turn of events. No matter how hard she tried to predict with her Oracular Skill, she could not figure out what that man was going to do!
She raised her eyes to look at Xi Zhimo through the special glass using her Mystical Sight, but his handsome face was practically expressionless. Only his pair of dark eyes that seemed to come from deep icy chasms were staring fixedly at her.
Hmph! She would like to see what he was up to!
Ye Si withdrew her gaze and said icily, "Lead the way."
Qin Yin felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. The person above was someone he could not afford to offend, but he did not dare to offend the person in front of him either. As long as he brought her upstairs, the rest would have nothing to do with him.
The posse of people headed for the private room on the third floor in an impressive formation.
When they arrived, Xi Zhimo seemed to be leaning on the sofa leisurely, his long legs crossed casually. His eyes were lowered as he fiddled with the ring on his pinky finger. He didn't even look up at Ye Si and her partner.
However, the debris on the floor and his stinging silence were enough to make people tremble in fear.
"Third Master, I've brought the person you asked for," Qin Yin reported respectfully.
Xi Zhimo did not answer.
Lu Chengsheng had been following closely behind Ye Si. He decided to take a risk and took off his mask completely. He spoke as if he was a familiar acquaintance, "You've misunderstood, Third Master. It's me. We took the same flight here, and we're all old acquaintances."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Yin and said with a smile, "You guys can leave first. I am acquainted with Third Master."
Qin Yin was fretting over his inability to find an excuse to slip away, and now the opportunity presented itself.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xi Zhimo's chilly voice. "You're just an entertainer. Do you think you're worthy of making my acquaintance? "
The smile on Lu Chengsheng's face instantly vanished.
Fuck!
He was the Divine Idol Chengsheng, whose popularity swept across the globe!
When did he ever have to put up with such petty aggravation!
However, he was powerless to do anything as he couldn't afford to offend this person. In the end, he could only look at Ye Si helplessly.
Ye Si also took off her mask and looked straight at Xi Zhimo with her almond-shaped eyes. "This has gone far enough. You have to think of the master when you want to mess with the follower."
Xi Zhimo's lips curled into an icy and evil smile. "Hah? You're raising lackeys so soon? And he's such a sissy too."
"Xi Zhimo!" Ye Si was so angry that she called his full name and said viciously, "You better don't push your luck when I have already extended you so much courtesy!"
Mu Feng froze.
Qin Yin and his subordinates also froze.
Even Lu Chengsheng, who was supposed to be angry, froze!
There was actually someone in this world who dared to speak in this manner to the Third Master Xi, the apex predator at the top of the food chain!
This was goddamn crazy!
