Nie Hao asked himself honestly. If he was asked to take out 10,000,000 taels to help a stranger he met by chance, he might not be able to do it.
It was precisely because of this that Ji Tianxing's generous help caused him to be filled with gratitude.
This was the way of the world. There were many who would add flowers to brocade, but there were extremely few who would provide timely assistance!
When Ji Tianxing heard his sonorous, sincere, and heavy tone, he smiled and waved his hand. "It's nothing. You'd better hurry up and bid. Don't wait for Wild Rose to drop the hammer …"
Nie Hao nodded heavily. After accepting the stack of banknotes, he opened his mouth and shouted with an imposing manner, "61,000,000 taels!"
Wild Rose, who was on the auction stage, was about to drop the hammer and announce that the Myriad Spirit Jade Pillow was won by the young master upstairs.
When she suddenly heard Nie Hao's voice, her hand froze for a moment, then she revealed an even brighter smile.
"This young master has bid 61,000,000 taels! Is there a higher bid? "
Everyone in the hall immediately discussed spiritedly. They all raised their heads and looked at the private room on the second floor, revealing looks of anticipation.
In the private room, the First Prince was holding a wine cup and tasting wine with a smile on his face.
He was extremely confident and originally thought that he had successfully shocked his opponent. As long as Wild Rose dropped the hammer and announced the result, the Myriad Spirit Jade Pillow would be his.
But he never expected that at the last moment, the person downstairs actually followed and bid!
The First Prince's body immediately stiffened. His face became ashen, and his eyes surged with rage.
60,000,000 taels was his limit. This time, he could not bid anymore!
No matter how much rage and unwillingness he had in his heart, he could only suppress the rage in the bottom of his heart. He tightly pursed his lips and did not say a word.
A moment later, Wild Rose announced the result loudly.
The finale treasure of this auction, the Myriad Spirit Jade Pillow, was sold at a price of 61,000,000 taels and belonged to Nie Hao.
The First Prince walked to the window with an ashen face and looked down at Nie Hao from above. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
The middle-aged guard said in a low voice, "Your First Highness, do you want this subordinate to make a move and snatch that jade pillow?"
The First Prince's face was dark and he did not speak. He turned around and walked out of the private room with an icy aura.
…
The Treasure Heaven Pavilion's auction ended.
Everyone left the auction house one after another and walked out of the Treasure Heaven Pavilion along with the surging crowd, discussing as they walked.
After an entire seven minutes, all the guests left, and the Treasure Heaven Pavilion finally quieted down.
After the auction ended, Ji Tianxing, Nie Hao, and Ji Ke were invited into the Treasure Heaven Pavilion's parlor.
Both parties exchanged the money and the goods, completing the auction transaction.
Ji Tianxing obtained the Ice Chi Armor, and Nie Hao also obtained the Myriad Spirit Jade Pillow as he wished.
The three of them put away the treasures properly before walking out of the Treasure Heaven Pavilion together.
It was already the middle of the night. There were few pedestrians on the street and the lights were dim.
Just as the three of them were about to board the carriage, two people walked out from the darkness and blocked Nie Hao's path.
The two of them were precisely the First Prince and the middle-aged guard, and they had long since been waiting for Nie Hao outside the Treasure Heaven Pavilion's entrance.
The Eldest Prince ignored Ji Tianxing and Ji Ke and walked straight to Nie Hao.
He did not beat around the bush either and went straight to the point. "This brother, I'm willing to buy your Myriad Spirit Jade Pillow at double the price. What do you think?"
Nie Hao recognized his voice and said with a frown, "This young master must be joking. If you can offer double the price, why didn't you bid at the auction just now?"
The Eldest Prince's expression was somewhat grim as he explained in a cold tone, "I can give you 60 million taels first. I'll send people to gather the remaining 60 million and will definitely hand it over to you within three days."
His tone and attitude were somewhat unyielding. His body faintly emitted a domineering aura that was extremely oppressive.
But Nie Hao was unmoved in the slightest and said in a firm tone, "The Myriad Spirit Jade Pillow is extremely important to me. No matter how much money you offer, I won't sell it!"
The Eldest Prince's expression immediately turned cold. His eyes surged with a sharp glint as he said with a cold smile, "The things that I, Lu Mingyang, want, there is still nothing that I can't get!"
"Since your esteemed self doesn't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for not being courteous!"
As he finished speaking, the middle-aged guard behind him strode forward and rushed towards Nie Hao as fast as a gust of wind. He slammed his palm towards Nie Hao's chest.
This middle-aged guard was a Tongxuan Realm expert. His palm flickered with a scarlet flame that contained an extremely violent power.
Before the flaming palm could hit Nie Hao, the scorching heat caused Nie Hao to suffocate. His robes and hair were almost charred.
With his True Energy Realm strength, it was impossible for him to dodge this palm!
At this critical moment, Ji Tianxing, who was standing at the side, suddenly drew his Black Dragon Sword and slashed at the middle-aged guard's palm with all his might.
Swoosh!
The dazzling sword light illuminated the night sky. The cold sword Qi dispersed the scorching flames.
The middle-aged guard's expression changed abruptly. Sensing the terrifying power of the sword light, he immediately retracted his palm.
The cold sword light missed and slashed fiercely onto the limestone street, creating a deep trench that was almost ten feet long.
Seeing this scene, First Prince Lu Mingyang frowned, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
He turned his head to look at Ji Tianxing. His eyes were filled with a cold light. "Brat, it's you again!"
Nie Hao had dodged a bullet and looked relieved. He hurriedly took a few steps back and stood beside Ji Tianxing.
At the same time, his two guards also rushed over. They drew their swords to protect him and stared at Lu Mingyang with murderous intent.
Ji Tianxing put away his Black Dragon Sword and stared coldly at Lu Mingyang. He sneered in a mocking tone, "Haha, previously in the inn, you already had bad intentions towards my sister."
"Now that the auction has failed, you want to kill me on the street and steal my treasure!"
"I would like to know, which aristocratic family are you from? How can you be so despicable and shameless? "
Nie Hao also glared at Lu Mingyang and shouted angrily, "Lu Mingyang! You sinister and vicious villain! "
Even Ji Ke sneered with disdain. "Haha, you look like a human. Unfortunately, you're a beast in human clothing. You're even worse than pigs and dogs!"
Lu Mingyang was scolded by the three of them in turn. He was so angry that his face turned ashen. The fury in his heart surged, and he wished he could kill the three of them.
However, Ji Tianxing's sword strike made him rather fearful. Moreover, the three of them had guards with them, and all of them had extraordinary strength.
Moreover, this was the entrance of the Treasure Heaven Pavilion. The matter couldn't be blown out of proportion. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with it.
Lu Mingyang could only forcefully suppress his anger and killing intent. He glared fiercely at Nie Hao and Ji Tianxing.
"I'll remember this grudge! The two of you … wait to suffer my wrath! "
After gnashing his teeth and throwing down these vicious words, Lu Mingyang turned around and left with his guards. His figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Nie Hao didn't send his guards to chase after them. He watched Lu Mingyang disappear into the darkness and cursed with anger that hadn't subsided.
"Damn bastard! He's so arrogant. I almost fell into his trap! "
After saying that, he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
He turned to look at Ji Tianxing beside him and bowed sincerely. "Brother Ji, thank you for saving me just now. I owe you another big favor!"
