Rong Chu was very polite to her and said gently, "The auction is about to begin. Let's go to the private room first." Gu Xijiu changed the topic and accompanied the saint to the second private room on the second floor. Rong Yan and Gu Xijiu followed them.
Was there another important person in the Crown Prince's private room?
Rong Chu, who had always been arrogant, was afraid of him. It seemed that the person was not simple. Who could it be?
Gu Xijiu pondered as she swirled the cup of tea in her hand.
After a while, Rong Che came back. He came to bid farewell to Gu Xijiu.
He told Gu Xijiu that he had an urgent matter to attend to. Before he left, he even left 50,000 taels of silver notes for Gu Xijiu and told her to buy any suitable auction item. He told her not to leave empty-handed. Without waiting for Gu Xijiu to decline, he flew down to the second floor.
Gu Xijiu bit her lips and kept the 50,000 taels of silver notes.
She was indeed in need of money. She heard that the Illusion Weed was one of the items that she wanted. It was rare and would cost about 50,000 taels of silver. Therefore, she should try her best to buy it. As for the money, she would find a way to pay it back in the future. It should not be difficult for her to do so with her capability.
There was a clear sound of the hammer, which meant that the auction had officially begun.
The process of the auction was similar to that of the modern auction house. They would start from the lowest grade items.
This was the largest and most luxurious auction house in the capital of Feixing Kingdom. The people who came here were either rich or respectable. Naturally, the items that were auctioned were rare and could not be easily found in the market. The cheapest item was priced at 10,000 taels of silver.
Gu Xijiu touched the dozens of taels of silver in her sleeve and felt that she was a poor person.
She touched the 50,000 taels of silver notes left by Rong Che and hoped that the price of the Illusion Weed would not exceed 50,000 taels of silver.
In fact, Gu Xijiu had already given up hope for the legendary Illusion Weed when only one-third of the auction was completed.
The saint from the Tianwen clan had bought all the herbs that were auctioned tonight.
The fourth prince, Rong Chu, was a real tycoon. No matter how high the price of the herbs were, he would always bid 20,000 taels more than the other bidders to scare them away.
Gu Xijiu witnessed Rong Chu bid for a herb that was worth at most 30,000 taels of silver for 60,000 taels of silver. Gu Xijiu started to think about how to rob him.
In fact, after Rong Chu used his money to suppress three to four herbs, no one dared to bid for the next batch of herbs anymore.
After all, none of them wanted to offend the powerful Fourth Prince.
However, since there were many people in the auction house, there were still some exceptions. For example, there was one sitting in the individual seats downstairs.
Judging from his attire, he looked like a well-read young master. He had red lips, white teeth, delicate features, a tender face, and a pair of sparkling eyes. His appearance was elegant and refined.
Initially, it was not unusual for this person to be sitting downstairs, but he did something unusual. Every time Rong Chu bid, he would stretch out his white and slender finger and wave it in front of the auctioneer.
The auctioneer could tell that Gu Xijiu had a good temperament and thought that Gu Xijiu would add ten thousand yuan like Rong Chu did. However, Gu Xijiu said slowly, "Add one tael."
These few words made everyone in the hall burst out in laughter.
