Jiangzhou, Yaochi Hall of Qinhuang Hotel.
After an hour of enthusiastic auction and sixty exhibits, it was finally the turn of the last piece of exquisite jade called 'Feather of Canglan'.
Everyone is looking forward to it. After all, the price of 130 million yuan for the top-quality jade is now starting at 13 million yuan. The temptation is too great to resist.
Especially the rich and wealthy businessmen who had admired the Blue Orchid Feather before, their inner desire to take pictures of it was extremely high.
Ling Yi and Han Ruoxue, on the other hand, looked calm.
Although the two of them were placed in the middle of the first row, they could see the exhibits closer than anyone else.
But neither Ling Yi nor Han Ruoxue had a good impression of these simple and elegant antiques. The latter didn't even bother to look at them and looked down at his phone the whole time.
"Now, please invite the finale exhibit of this charity exhibition, the Feather of Blue Orchid!"
"The starting price is 13 million, the highest bidder will win!"
With the auctioneer's enthusiastic welcome speech, the entire Yaochi Hall suddenly boiled.
Such a lively scene startled Han Ruoxue, who was playing with her mobile phone with her head down, causing her to unconsciously look up at the booth.
With just one glance, she was deeply attracted by the top-quality jade on the exhibition stand...
It seemed that what was placed on the booth was not a piece of emerald jade shaped like a flying feather, but Ling Yi's handsome and elegant face.
Even in the depths of her mind, she heard Ling Yi's familiar voice calling her: "Take a photo of me and take me home! From now on, I belong to you and Han Ruoxue alone!"
Hearing this voice, Han Ruoxue couldn't help but whisper softly in her heart: 'Okay, I'll take you home. '
And her hands slowly and involuntarily raised at this time, preparing to raise the placard to quote.
But at this moment, a soft shout suddenly exploded in her mind: "Zhu Xie retreats!"
After this sound, Han Ruoxue, who was originally in a daze, suddenly woke up.
She looked around blankly, and finally looked at Ling Yi in panic and asked: "What just happened? Why did I seem to hear you asking me to take a picture of it?"
Ling Yi frowned slightly, stared at the piece of blue orchid feather and said, "I was careless. I didn't expect that this piece of jade was cursed with a soul-obsessing curse, which can confuse people's minds, disrupt their behavior, and make the viewer take pictures. The urge to lay it.”
"Then didn't I just...?" Han Ruoxue was shocked, with a look of panic on her face.
Ling Yi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, I stopped him in time."
Hearing this, Han Ruoxue took a long breath. But even so, she was still frightened for a while and never dared to look at the jade again.
"Not good." Han Ruoxue seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly whispered, "If everyone wants to take a photo of it, the price may be sky-high."
Hearing this, Ling Yi smiled and said: "This soul-obsessing curse is not a soul-obsessing curse. It can only temporarily absorb people's souls. It is not powerful enough to control people's thoughts all the time. So when the price approaches 130 million, They will wake up and stop taking action.”
After saying that, Ling Yi raised his hand and added 100,000 to the price just now: "I will pay 15.4 million."
As soon as he said this, Ling Yi didn't take it seriously anymore, and was ready to wait for other people to bid, and then slowly increase the amount.
What he didn't expect was that after he raised his hand, the scene fell silent and no one made a bid.
"What happened? Did you do it?" Han Ruoxue turned around in disbelief and saw everyone looking at them with resentful looks on their faces, as if they had been greatly wronged.
Ling Yi was also surprised: "If I didn't want them to bid and stopped it from the beginning, why wait until now?"
He was telling the truth. After all, the other party's curse was very powerful and he couldn't break it with his current level of cultivation, so Ling Yi didn't want to be too dazzling and be noticed by the other party.
As a result, none of these old guys stopped bidding!
At this time, the auctioneer was also confused. As the final treasure, even if it does not exceed its own value, it is not too low.
But what he never expected was that the call only lasted a few rounds before it suddenly stopped!
This feeling is as uncomfortable as if you are about to forcefully pinch it off halfway through squatting.
"Is there anyone who bids? This is the Canglan Feather with an original price of 130 million, the best among jade stones!"
Yaochi Hall: "..."
"It's only 15.4 million now. If you miss this village, you won't have this store. You rich and famous people, you should think clearly."
Yaochi Hall: "..."
"..." Seeing this, the auctioneer became depressed.
But since no one bids, he can only follow the procedure: "15.4 million for the first time... Mr. Wang, don't you think about it anymore? This is the best in the world!"
When Mr. Wang, who was so impressed, heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
I saw him turning his head hurriedly. Maybe he felt that turning his head was not enough, so he turned his body again - this attitude is very obvious, I don't want to kill you, please don't fuck me again!
"..." The auctioneer started to emO, so he had to shout again: "15.4 million for the second time... Director Zhao, this is... Hey, Director Zhao, don't run away!"
Before the auctioneer finished speaking, Director Zhao had already ran out of the Yaochi Hall without taking a single cloud with him.
"What's the situation?" The auctioneer underestimated in a low voice, and then seemed to suddenly come to his senses, so he looked at the last bidder in front of him with a complicated expression.
He has now figured out that it's not that Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhao and the others don't want this top-quality jade, but that after seeing that guy raising his hand, they were all too scared to bid any more!
That’s right, it’s just fear!
But what he couldn't understand was that this guy in ordinary clothes was just an ordinary person no matter how he looked, but why did he have so much energy that billionaires like Mr. Wang, Director Zhao, and others were afraid of him like a tiger?
As soon as he saw where he was sitting and Han Ruoxue next to him, the auctioneer immediately understood and cursed the quintessence of Chinese culture at Ling Yi in his heart.
After scolding him, he immediately put on a smiling expression, raised his hammer, and shouted: "Fifteen and four hundred thousand third..."
"Wait!" Ling Yi suddenly stood up, stopped the auctioneer, then turned to everyone and said, "What are you doing? You are bidding."
"..."
When everyone heard this, they felt as uncomfortable as eating shit.
Do you think we don’t want to bid?
We don’t dare to fucking bid, okay?
You're a soft-boiled guy who didn't make a move all night, but now you finally do. If we still disappoint you, do you think Han Ruoxue will destroy our family?
Are you asking us to bid?
You clearly want us to die!
Bah, you are mean!
So just like that, with the auctioneer's hammer, there was a 'pop' sound, and a piece of top-quality jade worth 130 million was bought by Ling Yi at an ultra-low price of 15.4 million...

Huaizhou, a luxurious Chinese-style manor.
An old man trotted into the tea room in a hurry, with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Teacher, are you running in such a hurry because you want to tell me as soon as possible that Han Ruoxue took the picture of Blue Orchid Feather?" The man in the robe poured himself tea with elegant and professional movements.
"..." The old man's chest was heaving and he couldn't speak.
The man in the robe smiled and said, "Don't worry, after all, whether you say it or not, she, Han Ruoxue, is destined to be my dual cultivation cauldron after tonight."
When the old man heard these words, his face turned pale with fright, but he still bit the bullet and stammered: "Back...back to the young master, Miss Han...she still didn't take action."
The man in the robe stopped pouring tea, and the hot tea spilled on the coffee table, splashing a few drops on his chest, and it instantly condensed into ice...
"You, say it again?"
