Fortunately, the childe was not only looking at Gu Xijiu. He glanced at all the guests on the second floor and then sat down slowly, waiting for the next item to be auctioned.
The illusion weed that Gu Xijiu had been longing for was finally served. Like the other herbs, it was placed in a crystal box. The crystal was transparent and one could vaguely see the crimson grass inside.
This type of grass was extremely rare and the starting price was already 50,000 taels. This was the herb that Rong Chu was determined to get, so he increased the price to 100,000 taels for the second time.
For the other herbs, the childe stopped bidding when the price reached 100,000 taels. However, this time, he was different. As soon as Rong Chu finished bidding, he said slowly, "One tael!"
Rong Chu gritted his teeth, "150,000 taels!"
The childe said, "150,000 taels."
"200,000 taels!" Rong Chu directly increased the price by 50,000 taels.
"200,000 taels." The childe's voice was still calm.
"250,000 taels!"
"250,001 taels."
...
He was obviously here to ruin his plan!
Rong Chu clenched his fists and stared at the childe coldly. If his gaze could kill, this childe would have been dead for 800 times.
The Tianwen saint beside him moved her lips slightly and seemed to say something to Rong Chu. Rong Chu's eyes flashed and he continued to increase the price quietly.
The childe seemed to know that Rong Chu was determined to get this herb, so he continued to increase the price without blinking his eyes. During the bidding, the price of the herb had risen to 800,000 taels. It was a sky-high price!
Although everyone in the hall was rich and knowledgeable, it was the first time for them to encounter such a bidding war. The hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
"800,001 taels." The childe waved the folding fan in his hand and looked at Rong Chu with a smile. He seemed to be waiting for him to bid again.
Unexpectedly, Rong Chu smirked and glanced at him. He then sat down and said, "Since you value this item so much, I shall not fight with you for it. This illusion weed belongs to you now! "
The childe was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
Many of them had a good relationship with Rong Chu. Some of them even knew that he was here for the Illusion Weed. They did not expect him to give up so easily!
The crowd had been watching for a long time and they all felt that the childe was deliberately making trouble for Rong Chu. He definitely did not intend to bid for the grass. Now that Rong Chu suddenly stopped bidding, the childe was probably going to cry!
Eight hundred thousand taels of silver was enough for an upper-class family's lifetime income!
The childe seemed to be stunned for a moment. He blinked his eyes and looked at Rong Chu, who was upstairs, as if he wanted to throw away the hot potato, "Fourth Prince, you really don't want to bid anymore? This herb is actually quite special and worth the price. If you don't bid for it, you'll regret it. Why don't you add a little more? If you add one tael, I won't follow you anymore … "
The more he said that, the more delighted Rong Chu felt. Just now, he had been cheated by this bastard of a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and now, he could finally get his revenge!
"A gentleman does not take away what others love. Since you like it, I will not fight with you for it." Rong Chu said in a dignified manner.
"Are you really not going to follow?"
