"Since this auction mainly depends on the number of long-term supporters, in my opinion, there's no need to fight anymore. Chi Yangyu will definitely be the winner. Seventh Prince, Prefecture Master Yin, and Prefecture Master You, don't you think so?" The Fourth Prince, who was dressed in a brocade robe, suddenly walked out from one of the VIP rooms on the third floor and asked confidently.
Rather than a question, it was more like an announcement!
He announced that the Fourth Prince, the Seventh Prince, Yin Baiyue of the Pharmacist Manor, and Prefecture Master You Shan Song You had joined forces to support Chi Yangyu!
The Fourth Prince's announcement was like a sudden clap of thunder. It caused an uproar among the people sitting in Kuixing Pavilion. Anyone with a bit of foresight knew that since the Fourth Prince dared to announce the news in public, this matter was set in stone!
This was because a person with such a high status like the Fourth Prince would never speak carelessly. Speaking carelessly without confidence was no different from committing suicide to them!
Therefore, a portion of the rich and powerful guests sitting in Kuixing Pavilion's auction house were ecstatic. That was because Chi Yangyu, whom they supported, had become the winner at the beginning of the auction!
However, a portion of them were very disappointed! As the saying goes, when the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits! Those disappointed people were here to be fishermen!
Once the battle between the two contestants reached its climax, and their respective supporters were unable to determine the winner, another rule of this Douqi Auction would be used to determine the winner — the amount of money obtained by both parties in the auction would determine the winner!
At that time, in order to earn more money, both parties would not hesitate to auction off the treasures that they had prepared beforehand. This was the best opportunity for the fisherman to benefit!
Now that the outcome of the auction had been decided before the auction began, such a bloody battle was no longer possible. Therefore, they were disappointed!
Of course, it did not mean that the auction would not continue after the winner was decided! Businessmen pursued profits. Kuixing Pavilion would not let go of such a good opportunity! However, many rare treasures might not be auctioned.
However, the judges behind the scenes who decided the outcome of the auction still did not show up. Many of the people who participated in the auction were also looking around, waiting for the few people who were named by the Fourth Prince to respond to the Fourth Prince!
Although everyone knew that this matter was already set in stone, the necessary procedures still had to be followed!
"Greetings, Your Highness the Fourth Prince!" Yin Baiyue suddenly popped out from one of the VIP rooms. With his status, all he had to do was to cup his fists and greet the Fourth Prince.
Yin Baiyue, as a Great Prefecture Master, had an extraordinary status. When the Fourth Prince exclaimed in disbelief, Yin Baiyue added, "Your Highness' suggestion is also my decision! Vice Pavilion Master Chiyang Yuchi's qualifications, connections, experience, and popularity are all incomparable to that young lady Zi Yao! "
Yin Baiyue had purposely emphasized the words' Little Miss Zi Yao '. When he supported Chi Yangyu, he had also dealt a blow to Zi Yao.
"What have I done to deserve the support of Your Highness, Fourth Prince, Your Highness, Seventh Prince, Mansion Master Yin, and Mansion Master You? I'm truly ashamed!" Chi Yangyu could no longer sit still and expressed his gratitude first, perhaps because he felt that great things were about to happen!
"Ashamed? When did you, Chi Yangyu, learn to be ashamed? When did Chi Yangyu, whose skin is so thick that even the Sky Piercing Divine Crossbow fail to penetrate, learn to be ashamed? What a joke! "Following Chi Yangyu's words, a sarcastic voice came from one of the rooms.
As soon as this sarcastic remark was made, an arrogant fellow from Chi Yangyu's side shouted, "Where did this eccentric fellow come from? Didn't your father teach you how to be a proper person?"
"Oh? I really don't know if my father taught me how to be a proper person or not! Looks like I, Bi Ying, will have to go to the palace and ask my father if he taught me how to be a proper person or not? " Accompanied by the sound of the door, the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, pushed the door open and walked out from a VIP room on the left of the third floor. He had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Bi Ying … the Seventh Prince!" Everyone in the Kuixing Pavilion exclaimed.
When they heard the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying's words, whether it was Chi Yangyu, the Fourth Prince, or Yin Baiyue, their expressions turned ugly. Especially the Fourth Prince, his expression was extremely interesting.
The Seventh Prince, Bi Ying's words were even more ruthless than a slap to the Fourth Prince's face. The Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, had indirectly established the Fourth Prince's reputation as someone who spoke without thinking.
"Hehe …" The Fourth Prince laughed dryly. "Seventh Brother, you're still as naughty as ever. You always like to joke with me …"
"Fourth Brother, do I look like I'm joking?" After saying that coldly, the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, turned to Chi Yangyu and said, "Chi Yangyu, are you blind? Why don't you tie up that fellow who criticized His Majesty and send him to the Black Crossbow Army to be punished? Do you want me to do it myself? "
"Criticized His Majesty …" Chi Yangyu was tongue-tied. Wasn't this a little too much? Criticizing His Majesty was a crime that could even cause his entire family to be executed.
"Seventh Brother …"
"Fourth Brother, don't tell me you think so too? Father has always thought that Fourth Brother is the most filial. Who knew that Fourth Brother would plead for mercy for the person who criticized Father! A son doesn't speak of his father's mistakes, and even more so, you can't do nothing after criticizing your father. Fourth Brother, you're being unfilial! " The Fourth Prince seemed to want to say something, but just as he said 'Seventh Brother', he was reprimanded by the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying.
Not only was the Fourth Prince speechless, the Fourth Prince's forehead was drenched in cold sweat!
If this unfilial reputation were to spread, he would be completely finished!
The smile on his face disappeared and was instantly replaced by anger. "Seventh Brother, how can you take things out of context like this! I was just about to say that sending him to the Black Crossbow Army is not enough. That person should be sent to the Alkaid Guards for punishment! "After saying that, the Fourth Prince glared and scolded," Chi Yangyu, are you stupid? Why aren't you sending that person who criticized His Majesty to the Alkaid Guards for punishment? "
The person who spoke just now turned pale. He looked at Chi Yangyu as if he was asking for help, but what he got in return was the latter's ruthlessness! With a wave of his hand, three people came forward to capture him and send him out!
Fortunately, he was just a small fry. If he was some powerful person, there would be a good show to watch today. Of course, a real powerful person would not say such uncouth words!
In an instant, the Kuixing Pavilion, which was in an uproar, quietened down. The Seventh Prince's move was too beautiful! It was equivalent to killing someone to establish his authority!
After that, the Seventh Prince, Bi Ying, did not say anything. He stood there and looked at the scenery! It was as if the unchanging roof of the Kuixing Pavilion was a charming little girl. He was very engrossed in looking at the scenery!
With this look, the Fourth Prince was in trouble! He stood there, his face alternating between green and red. He did not know whether to retreat or stand there. He wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say! It was as awkward as it could get!
All of this originated from the Fourth Prince's unusually confident words at the beginning. But now, the Seventh Prince obviously did not support Chi Yangyu, although he did not say it explicitly! But now, the Seventh Prince did not say anything, and the Fourth Prince's decision was still hanging there.
The stalemate lasted for nearly ten minutes. Yin Baiyue, who had been waiting helplessly, began to share his master's worries, "Your Highness, Chi Yang Yu is a little thick-skinned, but he is still very good at his job. I believe that whether it is in the past, now, or in the future, Chi Yangyu will share your worries! "
Yin Baiyue's words were very honest. He was reminding the Seventh Prince that although Chi Yangyu had betrayed him, he was still very useful to him. Think carefully!
However, Yin Baiyue did not consider the Seventh Prince's reason for doing so!
"Thick-Skinned, yes. He is so thick-skinned that after betraying his master, he still has the cheek to come to me and ask for my support! I will never support a traitor like Chi Yangyu! " Speaking of this, Chi Yangyu's face suddenly turned ashen. The title of a traitor was a huge blow to his reputation.
Seeing Chi Yangyu's expression, the Seventh Prince suddenly revealed a strange expression. He turned to the Fourth Prince and said, "Fourth Brother, you should change your bad habit of making decisions for others! Everyone, I will be supporting the other main character of this Battle Auction today — the beautiful and smart Miss Zi Yao! I support Miss Zi Yao to be the Pavilion Master of Alkaid City's Kuixing Pavilion! "
Compared to the previous teasing of Chi Yangyu, the Seventh Prince's words surprised everyone more. Or rather, they were puzzled!
Even Chi Yangyu lowered his head and thought for a while before sneering at the Seventh Prince. This was because he believed that even without the Seventh Prince's support, he would still be the winner!
Just as Chi Yangyu had this thought, a green-robed man walked out of the VIP room and said loudly, "I am You Shansong, the Apothecary Hall's Grand Master. Today, I am here to support Miss Zi Yao. I hope that Miss Zi Yao can be the Pavilion Master of Kuixing Pavilion! If this is the case, I will let Miss Zi Yao handle all the medicinal pills I sell in the future! "
Everyone was not surprised by You Shansong's support. It would be strange if You Shansong did not support her! However, to let Zi Yao handle all the medicinal pills that were sold in the public market was definitely a promise with a lot of weight!
"Hehe, Brother You! It seems like the two of us won't be able to walk together today. I'm going to let Chi Yangyu handle all the pills that I'm going to auction in the future! "Yin Baiyue quickly retaliated when he heard You Shansong's words.
Two against two!
The Fourth Prince against the Seventh Prince, Yin Baiyue against You Shansong!
They were evenly matched!
However, Zi Yao, this competitor, had successfully attracted everyone's attention! A competitor who was bound to lose had actually fought to a draw. This was not simple at all!
"Since both Brother Yin and Brother You are here, I will join in the fun as well! Actually, I usually don't participate in these kinds of events! However, for the matter of my disciple's wife, I will help her even if I have to give it my all! "
At this point, Yuan Chen smiled and said to Zi Yao who was standing on the west side of the stage, "My disciple's wife, when you become the Pavilion Leader, I will let you handle all the work that needs to be auctioned, be it public or private! Oh, by the way, this Purple Heart Soul Shattering Pill will be my gift to your disciple's wife! "
As he spoke, Yuan Chen gently flicked his finger and a green light shot towards Zi Yao who was standing on the west side of the stage!
"Purple Heart Soul Shattering Pill?" When the words appeared, the Kuixing Pavilion was immediately in an uproar!
