Upon witnessing this scene, the faces of the guests in the hall were filled with confusion.
"Wasn't the young master of the Xie family determined to win? Why did he stop bidding after just one offer?"
"I don't know, maybe he's waiting to make a final bid?"
"You're overthinking it. In my opinion, the young master of the Xie family simply doesn't have any more money!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone exchanged glances. Could it be that the Xie family had only prepared such a small amount of money to bid on a profound-level martial technique?
For a moment, many found it somewhat amusing. They wondered what kind of stimulation the young master of the Xie family had received lately, continuously embarrassing himself and becoming a hot topic of discussion.
Xie Qiyi could vaguely hear some of the conversations from others. His already unattractive face grew even darker. How dare those damn people speak about him like that!
He felt that he had never suffered such a big loss in his entire life!
A glint of sinister ruthlessness flickered in his pitch-black pupils. He had fallen into this state entirely because of these two outsiders, Bai Li Hongzhuang!
After this auction was over, he would find a master to take their lives!
By then, he wanted to see who would dare to mock him like this!
Just as Xie Qiyi was preparing himself, Xie Honglang appeared in the VIP box. "Big brother, I'm back."
Seeing Xie Honglang finally show up, Xie Qiyi's expression didn't look good. "Where did you go? Why did you take so long to come back? Were you deliberately waiting to see me lose face here?"
Xie Honglang had managed to gather some money for the family after racking his brains. But he didn't expect to be bombarded by Xie Qiyi's angry remarks as soon as he returned. His expression turned sour as well.
However, after seeing Xie Qiyi's furious expression, he temporarily put aside his displeasure.
"Big brother, this is the 200,000 gold coins that the family managed to gather," Xie Honglang said.
Xie Qiyi's expression improved somewhat as he took the money bag into his own hands. He said, "That's about right."
In the next moment, Xie Qiyi's voice rang out again, "600,000!"
"Big brother!"
Seeing Xie Qiyi openly announce all the prices, Xie Honglang was stunned for a moment. By the time he wanted to stop him, it was already too late.
Announcing all the prices like this wasn't the proper technique in an auction! Not using your brain would result in a great loss.
Currently, the increments offered by the Yuan and Liu families had become smaller and smaller. Obviously, they didn't want to raise the price too high, ultimately benefiting the auction house.
However, by openly announcing the prices like this, Xie Qiyi undoubtedly disrupted the current situation.
Moreover, by doing so, both the Yuan and Liu families would know that this was all the capital the Xie family had. It could be said that they had already lost.
Upon hearing Xie Qiyi's bid again, the crowd couldn't help but be astonished. They thought the Xie family had completely withdrawn from the competition.
"Xie Honglang is back."
Yuan Liqing spoke slowly. She had been paying attention outside, so as soon as Xie Honglang returned, she already knew.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hongyang couldn't help but chuckle. "It seems Xie Honglang has brought back 200,000 gold coins. The Xie family is really going all out for this profound-level martial technique."
Indeed, it was believed that the 200,000 gold coins were the result of the Xie family's utmost efforts. Unexpectedly, Xie Qiyi now openly announced all the prices, truly foolish.
