"Mrs. Mo, thank you for being willing to treat my father," Xie Chen said. Worried that his words might sound like coercion, he quickly added, "Whether or not you can cure my father, I'm already extremely grateful that you've agreed to take a look."
Feng Yuqin could naturally sense Xie Chen's goodwill. She motioned for Xie Chen to stand up and then said, "It's a kind of fate that we've met. So, I'll go with you to check on him after the auction is over."
"Thank you, Mrs. Mo. Thank you, Mrs. Mo..." Xie Chen expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
At this moment, the bidding price outside had already reached 17 million.
"Stu Yue is really a mad dog. She's got her eyes on Mu Weizhu," someone outside murmured.
Stu Yue happened to overhear this. She immediately stood up, glaring in the direction of the voice, her eyes wide with anger. "Who just dared to call me names? Have the guts to stand out!"
Seeing Stu Yue looking like she was about to kill someone, only a fool would step forward.
Stu Yue was absolutely furious when she saw this.
Since she couldn't find someone to vent her anger on, she could only raise the bid. So, she directly shouted from 17 million to 18 million.
Mu Weizhu was so angry that her face turned green, but she could only grit her teeth and persevere. "18.1 million."
"19 million." Stu Yue was adding the price out of anger, without thinking at all.
One of her confidants beside her said, "Miss Yue, the price has exceeded the limit. It's not worth it."
"Are you suggesting that I just give up and let that bitch Mu have it easily?" Stu Yue asked with a sour look on her face.
"Miss Yue, you've already bid it up so high. She won't get much of a bargain," the confidant said.
Stu Yue thought it made sense. "Then I'll raise the bid one more time?"
The confidant nodded.
"20 million." When Stu Yue shouted out this price, the whole venue fell silent.
There used to be some discussions after each round of bidding, but this time, since Stu Yue had directly bid 20 million, everyone didn't know what to say.
After Stu Yue's bid, Mu Weizhu didn't respond for a long time. Stu Yue asked her confidant beside her, "Could it be that she's given up?"
"Probably not."
"Then why is she so quiet?" Stu Yue asked.
"Maybe she's so angry with you that she can't speak?" the confidant guessed.
Stu Yue immediately burst into laughter. "That must be it."
"What if she doesn't dare to raise the bid anymore?" Stu Yue hesitated for a moment and then asked.
The confidant thought for a while and said, "Then you'll have to get it yourself, Miss."
"I'll be unhappy if I can't outsmart Mu Weizhu," Stu Yue said.
Just as Stu Yue finished speaking, Mu Weizhu's angry voice rang out. "21 million."
Stu Yue slapped her thigh and said with a heroic air, "Since you're so persistent, I won't compete with you anymore."
This statement sounded rather strange. When Mu Weizhu realized what was going on, she was furious again.
"Hahaha..." Xie Chen couldn't stop laughing when he saw this scene.
Moreover, his laughter was completely unmasked. So, when he laughed, everyone else also came to their senses. The price was really too high.
But Mu Weizhu needed to be promoted, so she couldn't care less.
So, when the person from the auction house brought the Spirit - Gathering Pill to Mu Weizhu's private room, before Mu Weizhu could say anything, he said, "Our president said that Young Mistress Mu was very straightforward this time. We'll make an exception for Young Mistress Mu and wipe out the fraction. Young Mistress Mu just needs to pay 20 million."
When the Grand Elder saw Mu Weizhu's ugly face, he immediately stepped forward, paid with the spirit stones, and took the Spirit - Gathering Pill.
Thinking about the humiliation she suffered at the auction house today, Mu Weizhu didn't even look at the Spirit - Gathering Pill in the Grand Elder's hand. She got up and walked out.
At this moment, Stu Yue and Zuo Ziyang just happened to walk out of their private room.
They bumped right into Mu Weizhu, who looked extremely gloomy.
Zuo Ziyang thought that even if he hadn't given up today, he wouldn't have been able to win the bid.
After all, a Spirit - Gathering Pill cost 20 million, and he didn't have that many spirit stones.
So, his mindset had already adjusted.
As for Stu Yue, who had managed to trick Mu Weizhu, she was in a very good mood.
"Congratulations, Young Mistress Mu, on getting the Spirit - Gathering Pill," Stu Yue said, rubbing salt into Mu Weizhu's wound.
Mu Weizhu gave a cold look at the powerful bodyguards beside Stu Yue and said icily, "Miss Stu, you'd better make sure your bodyguards protect you well."
"What? Do you want to kill me?" Stu Yue immediately understood what Mu Weizhu meant when she heard this. "We'll see if you have the ability."
Mu Weizhu let out a cold snort and turned away.
...
On the other side, Feng Yuqin didn't leave.
Because she noticed that many people's spiritual senses were focused on her.
"Master, could it be that these people have already guessed that you're the one who provided the pill?" Xiao Ying asked worriedly.
There were so many spiritual senses, and they were all quite powerful. It wouldn't be easy to defeat them all.
"Probably not," Feng Yuqin said. "Wasn't it said before that this private room had been empty? I guess these people are trying to figure out my identity."
Although Xie Chen wasn't as powerful as Xiao Ying, he was still quite perceptive.
So, when he sensed someone peeping, he said to Feng Yuqin, "Mrs. Mo, I'll take you to Uncle Nong's place first. There's a formation there that can avoid peeping."
When Nong He Kui saw Feng Yuqin coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet her. "Mrs. Mo, thank you very much today."
Then he handed a spirit - stone card to Feng Yuqin. "All the spirit stones from this auction are in here. I hope that Mrs. Mo will place any other treasures with our auction house for auction next time."
Feng Yuqin took it and said, "Definitely."
At least this cooperation had been quite pleasant.
Xie Chen said beside them, "Uncle Nong, Mrs. Mo knows medicine. I'm planning to ask her to take a look at my father."
Nong He Kui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mrs. Mo also knows medicine?"
Feng Yuqin nodded. "A little."
Like Xie Chen, Nong He Kui thought that since Feng Yuqin had agreed to treat his father, her medical skills must be extraordinary.
"Xie Chen's father is in the courtyard behind our auction house. I'll take you there, Mrs. Mo," Nong He Kui said excitedly.
He and Xie Chen's father were good friends. Although they weren't brothers by blood, they were closer than brothers.
Feng Yuqin soon met Xie Chen's father. She activated her green power to examine him and found that the illness wasn't very serious. It wasn't a difficult problem for her.
Just as she was about to start the treatment, the communication stone in her space suddenly reacted. She sent out her spiritual sense and heard Meng Xingyu's anxious voice. "A Qin, Nightingale is in trouble."
She didn't care about anything else and immediately asked, "What's wrong with Nightingale?"
