Baili Hongzhuang calmly sipped her tea as she listened to the bidding from the crowd. There was no point in bidding now.
She could save herself some trouble by bidding after the crowd had raised the price to a certain level.
"Two thousand eight hundred gold coins!"
"Three thousand gold coins!"
When one person raised the price to three thousand gold coins, the people who were originally bidding gradually gave up on the idea of bidding.
For an item of unknown value like the parchment scroll, it would be fine if the price wasn't high. Even if they lost money, they wouldn't lose much. However, if the price was too high, it wouldn't be worth it.
Thus, when the price of three hundred gold coins was announced, the entire auction hall fell silent.
Seeing this situation, Tong Jingshuo wasn't disappointed. Three thousand gold coins was a lot better than what he had expected.
Usually, such an unknown item would rarely be sold for three thousand gold coins. However, just as Tong Jingshuo was about to announce the price, a cold and pleasant voice sounded from the box.
"Five thousand gold coins!"
Following Baili Hongzhuang's voice, everyone in the auction hall couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Very quickly, they knew the owner of this voice.
"I didn't expect that Baili Hongzhuang would be interested in this parchment scroll. Five thousand gold coins, how generous."
The customer who had originally bid three thousand gold coins chose to give up after hearing the price of five thousand gold coins. The price had suddenly increased by so much. It was obvious that the other party was determined to get it.
Even if he continued to bid, it wouldn't be of any use. The other party was rich and overbearing. He simply couldn't compete.
Furthermore, offending the other party just because of an unknown parchment scroll was too unwise.
Xie Qiyi immediately recognized Baili Hongzhuang's voice. Baili Hongzhuang's voice was very unique. It was cold and distant, as if she didn't eat the food of the common populace. It gave people an ethereal feeling.
The auction had been going on for so long, but Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen hadn't bid for anything. Who would have thought that they would bid for this unknown parchment scroll in the end.
"Could it be that this parchment scroll is really a treasure?"
Xie Qiyi's eyes lit up. That Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen seemed to have a certain background. Presumably, their eyesight wouldn't be bad. They probably wouldn't bid for this parchment scroll just because it was interesting.
Seeing Xie Qiyi's calculating appearance, Xie Honglang's expression couldn't help but change.
"Big brother, please don't cause any more trouble. This time, we're here for the Profound Level martial arts technique."
Xie Honglang was a little nervous. He had grown up with Xie Qiyi since he was a child, so he knew his elder brother's temperament very well. He was afraid that other thoughts had already sprouted in his heart at this moment.
Hearing Xie Honglang's words, Xie Qiyi's face couldn't help but turn gloomy. "I'm just bidding for something, how is that causing trouble?
According to what you said, as long as Baili Hongzhuang and Baili Hongzhuang bid for something, I can't bid?
If they bid for the Profound Level martial arts technique later, are we just going to give up? "
Xie Qiyi looked at Xie Honglang with dissatisfaction. He only felt that Xie Honglang was too useless. Why did he act like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen?
"Big brother, that's not what I meant. It's just that we have to spend all our money on this Profound Level martial arts technique. Let's not waste other things." Xie Honglang advised.
