Inside the private room, a proud smile immediately surfaced on Zhao Jin's face when he saw that there was no movement from the private room opposite him. Zhao Mingjie, who was beside him, had the same expression on his face. At this moment, the father and son really had the same face. Just based on this point, even if an outsider saw them, they would be able to recognize the relationship between the two of them.
Previously, Zhao Jin had purposely held back because he wanted to see this scene. He wanted to push his opponent down from the high altar of joy until he fell to the bottom of the valley. This feeling could be said to be filled with endless twists and turns.
At the end of the day, the An family was merely a small character in the entire matter of meeting Xiao Yan and the rest today. If it was not for the appearance of Xiao Yan and Fan Jian, it was likely that he would have completely embarrassed Xiao Yan and the rest today, causing them to be unable to establish themselves in the Xiao clan.
An Nan's mistake was that he actually chose to be on the same side as Xiao Yan. This point went against Zhao Jin's wishes. This also caused Zhao Jin, who originally did not have a good impression of An Nan, to hate him. Now that he had the opportunity to tease An Nan, how could he easily let it go?
Xiao Tian naturally saw the actions of the father and son. He secretly pondered in his heart. From time to time, he would throw a glance at the father and son with disdain hidden deep within his eyes.
"The father is not right and the son is not good. With such temperament, it is difficult for him to do anything."
Xiao Tian secretly mocked in his heart. His eyes were somewhat suspicious as he looked at Xiao Kuo in the auction house. He frowned slightly but ultimately shook his head and did not think any further. His body once again leaned against the back of the chair and he began to rest.
"Two hundred high grade spirit stones. Are there any higher bids?"
On the auction stage, Xiao Kuo's voice once again sounded. However, it was no longer as calm and amiable as before. Instead, there was an additional trace of impatience.
At this moment, the people sitting on the stage would no longer bid. The only ones who could hope were those in the private rooms. However, with Zhao Jin in front, it was likely that no one would compete with him.
In the private room, Zhao Jin's face was filled with pride. Before coming to the auction, he had made ample preparations. Today, he was determined to obtain the Thousand Sealing Ruler. There was absolutely no one who could stop him!
After Xiao Kuo's words sounded out, the enormous auction ground once again descended into a silent atmosphere. The scene from before appeared once again.
Many people below the stage looked at each other and secretly sneered as they waited for a good show. On the stage, Xiao Kuo frowned and the irritation in his heart grew even more intense.
Sure enough, just as Xiao Kuo was about to strike the hammer, a young man's faint laughter suddenly rang out in the auction house.
"I am willing to bid three hundred high grade spirit stones!"
A scene that was exactly the same as the one from earlier suddenly appeared. Everyone present followed the voice and looked over. The expressions on their faces were slightly startled. Soon after, it turned into a strange expression. The owner of the voice had surprisingly originated from the private room where Xiao Yan's group was located!
Inside the box, Ouyang Miao stood with a faint smile on his face as he stared at Xiao Kuo, who had an ugly expression on his face.
Although the person in front of him was an elder of the Xiao clan and was in charge of an area, Ouyang Miao was not afraid of him. He was the heir of the Ouyang clan and the junior clan leader. Even if Xiao Kuo was angry in his heart, what could he do to him?
Xiao Yan by the side involuntarily laughed out loud at this tactic when he saw this. The resentment that he had suffered in his heart earlier had also disappeared at this moment. Giving someone a taste of their own medicine when facing someone like Zhao Jin could be said to be the best method. If one were to become angry because of the other party's deliberate provocation, it would instead be playing right into the other party's hands.
The expressions of the people below the stage were interesting. On the auction stage, Xiao Kuo was no longer calm. He clenched his teeth and repeated Ouyang Miao's words. While everyone was waiting for the next round of bidding, Xiao Kuo's cold and stern gaze was thrown toward Zhao Jin. The impatience that filled his eyes was not hidden at all. Zhao Jin did not even suspect that if he hesitated even a little, this old man would really disregard everything and directly auction off the Dou Technique in his hand.
Zhao Jin did not dare to hesitate any longer as he quietly thought that he had miscalculated in his heart. He hurriedly shouted out loud,
"I bid four hundred!"
"Five hundred!"
Ouyang Miao's face was smiling as he quickly followed and said faintly.
This time around, Zhao Jin frowned and began to hesitate. The other party's bid had already exceeded his expectations. If he were to continue increasing the bid, it was likely that even if he obtained this Dou Technique, his Zhao clan would have to pay quite a hefty price!
Zhao Jin hesitated in his heart and the muscles on his face involuntarily twitched. Zhao Mingjie by the side was unknowingly urging him to increase the bid. This caused him to become even more irritated.
Suddenly, Zhao Jin clenched his teeth and looked toward the private room opposite him. When he thought of Ouyang Miao and Xiao Yan, who were currently calling out bids, a savage smile gradually surfaced on his face.
"Xiao Yan, not only do I want to obtain this Dou Technique, I also want to use you to get back double the Spirit Stones that I have lost today!"
"Six hundred high grade Spirit Stones!"
A shocking number once again sounded in the auction ground. At this moment, Xiao Kuo, who was on the auction stage, gradually recovered his expression because of this. Six hundred high grade Spirit Stones had not only exceeded the Zhao clan's expectations, but even the auction ground had not expected such a result.
"Seven hundred!"
Within the private room, Ouyang Miao finally frowned. Seven hundred high grade Spirit Stones. This was already the maximum amount that he could use in the clan. If he was still unable to obtain it, it was likely that this Thousand Sealing Ruler scroll would ultimately land in the hands of the Zhao clan.
"Eight hundred!"
Zhao Jin clenched his teeth tightly. Half of his face involuntarily twitched. Eight hundred high grade Spirit Stones. Even with the foundation of his entire Zhao clan, it was likely that he would have to sell off most of his clan's assets in order to take it out. If it were not for some reason, he would definitely not be so crazy.
This time around, it seemed that things were just as he had expected. After the bid of eight hundred Spirit Stones, the private room opposite him became quiet.
Ouyang Miao's eyebrows were tightly knit together. He had not expected that Zhao Jin would actually be crazy to such an extent for a Dou Technique scroll. However, such actions were not purely for the Dou Technique. It was obvious that they were targeting this group of people.
At this moment, even Xiao Yan's expression was also unusually solemn. He felt fearful for the final ownership of the Thousand Sealing Ruler and also for Ouyang Miao's deep friendship. After all, even if he was the heir of the Ouyang clan, he still had to think carefully before taking out such a large amount of high grade Spirit Stones. However, how could such an outcome not cause him to feel gratified?
"Mister Xiao Yan, please do not hesitate to bid. Under the name of our An clan, we can also take out two hundred and fifty high grade Spirit Stones. Today, we will definitely do our best for you!"
Annan inhaled a deep breath of air and gathered his courage. He stood up from his seat and stared at Xiao Yan with a determined gaze. Seeing this, the latter was initially stunned. He immediately looked at Ouyang Miao by the side and hesitated for a moment before turning his body around. He cupped his hands together and bowed heavily to the two of them. His tone was solemn as he said,
"Xiao Yan would like to thank the two of you for your deep friendship!"
On the auction stage, the anger on Xiao Kuo's face had completely disappeared. He glanced left and right at the box where Xiao Yan, Zhao Jin and the others were and gently shook his head. Soon after, he raised the wooden mallet in his hand and was about to bring it down.
"Nine hundred and fifty high grade Spirit Stones!"
However, what everyone present did not expect was that even at this moment, the auction stage was still filled with endless surprise.
"Bang!"
At this moment, everyone present was stunned. Even Zhao Jin, who had just returned to his chair, could not help but abruptly jump to his feet. The chair under him was shattered by the violently churning Genesis Qi in his body, and his emotions suddenly went out of control.
"Damn it! That little bastard! How dare he go against my Zhao clan time and time again. How abominable! "
Zhao Jin angrily waved his sleeve, blasting apart the row of chairs in front of him, turning them into dust. Then, he stared at the box opposite him with a face full of killing intent. In the end, he could no longer hold back his anger and roared.
"I bid a thousand!"
