Logically speaking, since Gu Yanghua reminded and revealed his identity, no matter who the other party was, he should also reveal his identity. Then everyone would discuss Taoism and see who had a higher status. Maybe Gu Yanghua would give up the bid and give the warm jade to the other party.
However, after Gu Yanghua revealed his identity, the person in the box did not make a sound. He seemed to be saying, "If you want to buy it, then bid. If you don't want to buy it, then don't make a sound."
Gu Yanghua waited for a long time, but no one answered. Anger appeared on his face.
After a cold snort, he raised his voice. "10 million taels of gold."
Since the other party did not give him face, he naturally had to fight for it.
"Grandpa …" Gu Chengyun was stunned and looked anxious.
10 million taels of gold would not hurt them, but it was enough to affect the Gu family's operation. The loss outweighed the gain.
"11 million taels of gold!" A cold voice came from the opposite box again.
Gu Chengyun was just relieved when he suddenly heard his grandpa's voice.
"15 million taels of gold."
Now Gu Chengyun could only smile bitterly.
"20 million taels of gold." The opposite box did not hesitate.
This time Gu Yanghua did not bid again. Even he could not afford 20 million taels of gold.
The auctioneer broke out in a cold sweat. He did not expect that he could host an auction of 20 million taels of gold in his lifetime. It was worth it even if he died.
Seeing that Gu Yanghua did not bid anymore, he did not even follow the procedure and shouted directly, "20 million going once …"
At this moment, Zhong Shu came in with Zhang Jiang.
As soon as he came in, Zhang Jiang knelt on the ground and did not even dare to raise his head.
He naturally knew Zhong Shu's identity very well. The person who could make Zhong Shu wait on his side must have a high status that he did not dare to imagine.
"20 million going twice …" The auctioneer's voice came again.
At this moment, Yang Xuan suddenly said, "50 million taels of gold!"
Zhong Shu was slightly stunned, as if he did not expect Yang Xuan to bid. Zhang Jiang simply trembled all over.
50 million taels of gold. God, it was so understated. He was in fear and trepidation.
The maid of the Rain Guard who had been standing beside Yang Xuan received the order from Yang Xuan. Without any hesitation, she said, "50 million taels of gold."
There was no expression on her face. Not to mention 50 million taels of silver, even 500 million taels of silver was just a number to the Azure Sky Saint.
Boom!
The auction exploded!
Heavens, 50 million taels of gold. Some people had never even heard of so much money in their entire lives, let alone seen it.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the room Yang Xuan was in.
The auctioneer's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't utter a single word. He didn't even realize that the hammer in his hand had fallen to the ground.
Gu Yanghua and Gu Chengyun were stunned at the same time. They didn't expect that someone would bid for it, and at such a high price.
After a moment of silence, a woman's voice suddenly sounded, "Sixty million taels."
Boom!
Everyone in the auction house was dumbfounded. They didn't know what to say.
A piece of warm jade was worth sixty million taels of gold. Heavens, was he crazy?
Yang Xuan smiled and waved his hand slightly.
Yu Wei understood Yang Xuan's intention and didn't bid anymore.
After waiting for a long time and seeing that Yang Xuan didn't bid anymore, the auctioneer hurriedly picked up the hammer from the ground. After shouting three times, he knocked it down neatly.
At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
If the bidding continued, he was afraid that he would have a heart attack.
Yang Xuan then looked at Zhang Jiang, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head. He smiled and said, "Zhang Jiang, do you still remember me?"
Zhang Jiang was stunned. He raised his head slightly and looked at Yang Xuan.
With one look, he was completely dumbfounded.
After a long while, he opened his mouth wide and said in shock, "Master … Master Yang."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Get up. I have something to ask you."
Only then did Zhang Jiang stand up in a daze. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that the person whom Zhong Shu was so respectful towards was actually Yang Xuan.
"Where did this warm jade come from?" Yang Xuan asked.
The shock on Zhang Jiang's face still hadn't disappeared. He hurriedly said, "Master Yang, this warm jade was sent by the person in Room 7."
Yang Xuan smiled. This was a bid to raise the price. However, he was too smart and suffered a loss.
After nodding, Yang Xuan asked again, "Many years ago, Wang Wu, a servant of the Yang family, once bought a female slave here. Where did that female slave come from?"
Zhang Jiang was slightly stunned. Then, a thoughtful look appeared on his face. After a while, he hesitated and said, "I remember that it was sent by someone from the Northwest. I didn't ask about the specific origin."
"Northwest?" Yang Xuan repeated faintly.
Zhong Shu explained, "The Northwest is a martial arts association near the sun. They specialize in slave trade."
Yang Xuan nodded. Selling female slaves was very common in this world. Zhang Jiang not asking about their origins was also part of the rules.
He believed the people of the Yellow Springs sect had already investigated this matter very clearly. They would report it soon. He had only asked casually.
After sending away the confused Zhang Jiang, Yang Xuan said to Zhong Shu, "Let's go. Let's go back."
Zhong Shu hesitated. "Your highness, then the warm jade …"
He saw how Yang Xuan was very interested in the warm jade, but for some reason, he had stopped talking about it.
Yang Xuan stood up. When he made his way out, he said indifferently, "Someone will obviously send it over. Don't worry."
Zhong Shu was taken aback. Afterwards, he seemed to understand something, and a strange light flashed through his eyes.
Leaving the auction house, Yang Xuan was in no hurry. Instead, he became very interested in the stalls on the streets. He looked here and there, like he was out for a stroll.
Just like that, he slowly made his way out of Qingyang city, arriving outside the city.
Not long after, three people blocked his path. They were the one woman and two men from Room 7.
Yang Xuan sighed. These people sure were warm-hearted. They wanted to give the fire spiritual rock to him so urgently.
"Please wait, friend!" A man on the left took a step forward, blocking Yang Xuan's path.
"Oh? What is it? "Yang Xuan stopped the Yu Wei and asked with a smile.
"I want to sell you something," the man said indifferently. He was extremely arrogant.
Yang Xuan was still all smiles as he asked, "What is it?"
"Warm jade!" A sliver of coldness flashed through the man's eyes.
"What's the price?" Yang Xuan asked with a smile.
"Fifty million taels of gold," the man said coldly.
Yang Xuan shook his head. "That's too expensive."
The man frowned. "What price can you offer?"
"Why don't you make it five taels of silver?" Yang Xuan smiled from ear to ear.
"You-" The man became furious.
At this moment, the woman who had remained silent the entire time walked over. She said indifferently, "Fifty million taels of gold, not a single cent less."
Yang Xuan smiled. "What if I don't buy it?"
"You'll have to buy it," the woman said indifferently.
Yang Xuan shook his head and directly asked, "Where are you from?"
The woman sneered and said indifferently, "You have no right to ask where I'm from. Take out fifty million taels of gold, and I'll let you live."
Yang Xuan laughed involuntarily. It seemed like it had been a very long time since he had heard someone speak to him like that.
He really had not felt this way for a very long time.
"Fifty million taels of gold is just a piece of cake to me. However, I'm very interested in the origin of this warm jade." Yang Xuan shook his head.
The woman sneered and looked at Zhong Shu with disdain. "You really want to do things the hard way. Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you're a Five Qis Sovereign? Since that's the case, I'll take you down and let your elders pay the ransom. "
She then took a step back and said coldly, "Take him down!"
When the two men behind him heard this, they stepped forward with sinister smiles on their faces.
Yang Xuan sighed. It had been a long time since he had met such a brainless person, and he really couldn't bear to do it.
However, even if he couldn't bear to do it, there were others who could.
How could the four Semi-Divinity realm Rain Guardians possibly allow Yang Xuan to be distracted? If not for Yang Xuan stopping them, the three Semi-Divinity realm Rain Guardians would have long been reduced to dust. Seeing that the four Semi-Divinity realm Rain Guardians were still intending to make a move, killing intent surfaced in their eyes.
"Capture him alive. I still have some questions to ask him," Yang Xuan said indifferently.
