When the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself out (2)
In fact, this is also why the Eighth Prince gave up. He considered that treasure hunting itself requires a lot of manpower and resources, plus the possibility of accidents. Rather than spending 300,000 gold coins to buy this unknown, it is better to keep the 300,000 in hand.
"I don't know..." Ye Lang replied nonchalantly. He hadn't even considered those questions; he was simply spending money.
Many of his collections are valuable items that he has never used.
"..."
Everyone fell silent. They noticed that Lady Lei Di seemed a bit absent-minded, not even considering this matter. However, this absent-mindedness was rather endearing, and they were starting to like Lady Lei Di a little.
"Alright, alright, that's enough about this. Let's move on to the next auction!" Ye Lang said. For him, this matter was over, and it was best to start the next one.
"Alright, let's proceed with the auction first, and we'll discuss these matters later!"
Ye Lang's words reminded everyone that now was the time for the auction, not for talking!
And so the auction continued, one after another, with Ye Lang winning several bids and stealing the spotlight. It was thought that there wouldn't be any more exciting events, but unexpectedly, a small trinket once again put Ye Lang's Puppet Girl in the spotlight.
However, this time, Cold-Blooded Seventh felt very anxious because this was completely disrupting the newly established situation, as he was competing with that popular Little Princess.
It was a very small item, a necklace, with a rare sapphire. The design was exquisite, and it was made by a legendary jeweler. Not only was it of high value in itself, but it was also highly collectible.
Girls naturally love this kind of thing, but because the Little Princess made the bid, there weren't many competitors. After reaching a certain price point, it was basically settled, barring any unforeseen circumstances!
At that moment, an unexpected event occurred. Ye Lang suddenly made a bid, which stunned everyone. But thinking about it, perhaps this beautiful lady also liked it. This Sapphire Necklace would definitely look beautiful on her.
But why would Ye Lang be interested? Obviously not. It was because he saw Cold-Blooded Fifth's eyes light up slightly and he whispered two words: "Beautiful!"
It was because of those two words that Ye Lang immediately made a bid!
Ye Lang's move was truly extraordinary, immediately reaching an unbelievable 100,000...
The Little Princess looked at the Puppet Girl with a resentful gaze, a hint of hatred in her eyes, as if her most beloved possession had been taken away. This expression pained everyone, especially her loving brothers and sisters.
Because of this, they began to hate Ye Lang!
"110,000!" the Little Princess said through gritted teeth.
"120,000!"
"100,000... 130,000!"
"Fourteen!"
"Little one, what are you doing? You've offended everyone like this. Everything was fine before, but now look, everyone hates you!" Cold-Blooded Seventh said anxiously.
"Hate it if you want, but no one can take away what I want to buy!" Ye Lang waved his hand. When he auctions something, even the Emperor himself wouldn't give him face, unless he was broke.
However, he doesn't care about money or whether he'll go bankrupt, as long as no one can compete with him!
"180,000!"
"I hate you!!" The Little Princess looked at the Puppet Girl with tears streaming down her face, her heartbroken expression fueling everyone's hatred for Ye Lang.
"I don't know you!" Ye Lang replied bluntly.
Fortunately, Ye Lang wasn't himself at this moment; he was passing through the Puppet Girl. So, people simply disliked the Puppet Girl but didn't hate her. That's the advantage of having a beautiful girl.
However, because of this, it is believed that no member of the royal family will come to him in the short term, at least not without special reasons.
Cold-Blooded Seventh became increasingly angry as he thought about it. A great situation had been ruined by a necklace, and what's more, it wasn't even a necklace that Ye Lang liked; he just wanted to buy it for Cold-Blooded Fifth.
Auction houses operate on a money-driven system; high status is irrelevant, so the auction continues to the next one...
"Now, the most anticipated item of this Auction House..." The auctioneer's tone was somewhat strange as he said this, because the most anticipated item today was no longer this one, but rather the two items in Lady Lei Di's hands, and Lady Lei Di herself.
"The Ancient Thunder God Sword!"
On the display stand, a large, ancient-looking sword with a dull and unremarkable appearance appeared. This was what everyone was interested in, and most people came for this.
This is a rare weapon, forged from meteorites in ancient times. It possesses unique lightning energy, and controlling this lightning energy does not require lightning talent; any magic power or Battle Qi can be used to activate it.
"Starting price: 100,000. Make an offer if you're interested!"
"One hundred thousand!"
"150,000!"
Two hundred thousand!
"Little one, this is such a good thing, why aren't you bidding? Don't you want it?" Cold-Blooded Seventh asked.
"I do want it, but I don't have that much money. I should have known better than to give the money to Seventh Brother," Ye Lang said casually. He knew that this sword would be very valuable, and theoretically, he didn't have enough money. He wanted to see how things went before making a decision.
In fact, what Ye Lang really wanted was not just the sword, but also its materials. If he got his hands on it, he would definitely melt it down.
Therefore, he doesn't really need it!
"... You still have money?" Cold-Blooded Seventh was speechless; this amount of money was terrifying.
"Yes, once I get my hands on it, I'll find the person who bought it and buy it from them again at double the price. I'll crush them!" Ye Lang said seriously. He had this plan all along.
"..."
"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"
At this price, there was no other voice. The one who shouted this was the eldest son of a Lineage, who seemed to be a young master in the empire, and Lineage was the richest in the empire.
This young master seems to be one of the most promising young talents in the Vermilion Bird Clan, hailed as a pillar of the empire's future!
However, although this price was the highest at the Auction House, it wasn't the most attention-grabbing item, since the sword itself was worth about that much.
Ye Lang's two items fetched auction prices far exceeding normal prices!
"Lady Lei Di, may I ask what you will use to pay the bill?" Afterwards, everyone used cards to transfer money, or Gold notes, leaving only Ye Lang.
At this point, many people remained there, wanting to see if this newly appeared woman could afford the money.
Although they thought it was impossible, the amount was so large that everyone was still very curious and wanted to see it.
