Dai Zhiman was waiting for Shao Zifan to continue bidding, but to her surprise, he remained silent for a while. Her expression couldn't help but change.
Could it be that Shao Zifan was giving up just like that?
She didn't actually need the Mysterious Star Sword!
If she won the item and then refused to take it, it would be equivalent to disrupting the rules of the auction house, which was not something she wanted to see!
"Seventy-one thousand gold coins for the first time!"
"Seventy-one thousand gold coins for the second time!"
A mocking expression appeared on the faces of the onlookers. They were well aware that Shao Zifan was the one who truly wanted the Mysterious Star Sword.
If the Mysterious Star Sword ended up in Dai Zhiman's hands, she would truly be in tears.
"Seventy-one thousand gold coins for the third..."
Just then, Bai Li Hongzhuang suddenly spoke up, "Seventy-two thousand gold coins!"
The moment Bai Li Hongzhuang spoke, Dai Zhiman relaxed entirely. Thankfully, the weapon didn't end up in her hands!
She looked at the Mysterious Star Sword with lingering fear, her expression turning ugly.
"This..." Shao Zifan looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang in astonishment. He had only brought seventy thousand gold coins.
Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled faintly. "Dai Zhiman did all of this because of me. You were burdened because of me. I'm giving you the Mysterious Star Sword."
If it weren't for her, Shao Zifan would have no problem acquiring the Mysterious Star Sword, and he wouldn't have suffered so much injustice.
To be honest, she felt guilty in her heart.
"But that's not right!" Shao Zifan quickly refused. "This weapon is meant for me to use. How can I let you give it to me?"
"It's alright. We're friends, and it's normal to give gifts to each other."
"No!" Shao Zifan firmly shook his head. "Lend me two thousand gold coins for now, and I'll pay you back when I return."
Seeing Shao Zifan's resolute rejection, Bai Li Hongzhuang chuckled. "Alright then, since you're so determined, you can pay the original price of the Mysterious Star Sword, fifty thousand gold coins. I'll cover the rest."
Shao Zifan was momentarily stunned, about to speak again, but Bai Li Hongzhuang interrupted, "If you refuse again, it would make me feel guilty."
Hearing this, Shao Zifan nodded. "Thank you then."
"It's only natural. No need for thanks."
A smile played on Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips, but a hint of frost appeared in her eyes.
Dai Zhiman causing trouble for her was one thing, but daring to hinder her friend as well!
Once the auction was over, she would make Dai Zhiman pay the price!
The auction continued, and throughout, Dai Zhiman and Liu Jingkun didn't bid on anything.
They had provoked Shao Zifan earlier, so Bai Li Hongzhuang would undoubtedly seek revenge, wouldn't she?
They wouldn't give Bai Li Hongzhuang that opportunity!
"Next up for auction is a Snake-Tailed Armor designed for women, offering strong defense and a few extra chances to save your life when worn!"
"As cultivators, we often face danger, and this armor is undoubtedly a top choice. Don't hesitate, everyone!"
"Starting price is forty thousand gold coins. Let the bidding begin!"
Zhao Yunqian's gaze fixated on this vibrant red armor. She really wanted it!
"Fifty thousand gold coins!" Zhao Yunqian spoke up.
Accompanied by Zhao Yunqian's words, the cultivators below were surprised. She had immediately raised the bid by ten thousand gold coins, showing her strong determination to acquire the armor.
A smile appeared on Dai Zhiman's face once again. It was Zhao Yunqian's voice!
"Fifty-one thousand gold coins!" Dai Zhiman said.
