Thank You Very Much

Jiang Xuan got up abruptly, then pointed at Mu Qinglan and cursed angrily, "How dare you! Who do you think you are to fight with me for this?!"

Mu Qinglan didn't even turn her head to look at him as she calmly replied, "Even if I didn't dare to fight you for it, I already did it."

"You!" 

Jiang Xuan was burning with anger, and Yuan Energy started gathering in his palm, ready to strike out!

"Young Master, you can't!" 

Jiang Xuan's attendant saw this and was immediately panicked and hurriedly moved to dissuade Jiang Xuan.

It was fine for Jiang Xuan to do whatever he wanted if it was anywhere else, but this was the Xia Shang Auction House!

It didn't matter if Jiang Xuan killed this person, but if he offended Xia Shang Auction House, that would be a significant loss to the Jiang family!

The people in the hall also didn't expect Mu Qinglan to be so open about fighting against Jiang Xuan, and some of them even had a wait-and-see attitude. Some also couldn't wait to see what kind of fool Jiang Xuan and Mu Qinglan would make of themselves.

Only a few others who wanted to get their hands on the Yuan Soul-Fire Crystal had slight changes in their expression.

Xia Zhong looked at Jiang Xuan, and the smile on the older man's face faded a little. 

"What's this, Young Master Jiang? Are you going to make a move in front of me?"

His voice was not loud, but it was definitely angry and powerful.

While the auction was underway, Xia Zhong would absolutely make the Jiang family pay the price if Jiang Xuan dared to cause any trouble!

The reputation of Xia Shang Auction House was not one that a small family like the Jiangs could destroy!

As though someone had poured a pot of cold water over Jiang Xuan. He turned to see Xia Zhong's sharp eyes on him, and he finally sobered up.

But, asking Jiang Xuan to swallow down his anger and let it go was impossible!

Mu Qinglan lowered her eyes slightly, but it did nothing to conceal the sarcasm in her voice, "Young Master Jiang, if you really don't have money, you shouldn't have come at all. Why do you have to puff up your cheeks in anger like that?" 

"Who said I don't have money?!" 

Jiang Xuan was utterly enraged by Mu Qinglan's words. The anger rushed to his head, and he immediately said fiercely, "Isn't it just 3,000,000 gold coins? What's the big deal? I'll bid 3,500,000 gold coins!" 

Many people balked privately.

Even if a few prominent families pooled together, it would still be painful to pull out such an amount of money…

Jiang Xuan's attendant again tried to dissuade him, but Jiang Xuan shot him a fierce glare.

"No matter what, I will win this bid today! Whoever tries to stop me means they don't want their life anymore!" 

Jiang Xuan's attendant was shocked and worried that the Jiang family patriarch would punish him once they returned home. So, he could only stammer out, "Young Master, this Yuan Soul-Fire Crystal is indeed a treasure, but our budget is limited. If we spend too much and the master finds out…"

"If it's something I want, I won't listen to your nagging about it! I'll answer myself on the amount I spend!"

Jiang Xuan was the only sapling of the family, and he had a noble status. He had always been pampered and valued, so he believed that they wouldn't do anything much to him.

His attendant could only acquiesce with Jiang Xuan's words and not say anything else.

Jiang Xuan shot Mu Qinglan a proud look. "What's this? You don't dare to raise the bid anymore?" 

Mu Qinglan laughed inwardly. Since Jiang Xuan wanted to give his money away, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

"You're a so-called Young Master? You want to snatch something, but you only added that little bit of money. Don't you feel cheap?" 

After Mu Qinglan said that, everyone in the hall was filled with shock, to the point their jaws were about to fall off. 

Jiang Xuan had added 500,000 gold coins to the previous bid. Wasn't that already good enough?! How much power did this person have to place such little significance on a few hundred thousand gold coins?!

Was 500,000 gold coins "a little bit of money"?!

Jiang Xuan barked out a harsh laugh, and he was about to say a few mocking words when he heard that awful voice call out again lazily, "I'll add another million on top of Young Master Jiang's bid!"

Hiss.

The crowd was astonished. That meant the bid was now 4,500,000 gold coins!

Even Xia Zhong was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected someone to raise the bid by one million directly!

The highest bidding price in the history of Xia Shang Auction House in Luo Xi City had been 3,700,000 gold coins previously, and today's bid had broken that record!

Xia Zhong was naturally happy to see this happening. Previously, Xia Yunshan had handed this crystal to him and told him to make sure it got auctioned off at a good price. Looking at how cautious Xia Yunshan had been, Xia Zhong knew that the person who brought this crystal must be extraordinary.

Otherwise, with Xia Yunshan's status, he wouldn't have placed any significance on that person.

"The bid is now at 4,500,000 gold coins!" 

Xia Zhong couldn't help but pitch his voice higher, and it echoed throughout the vast auction hall.

"4,500,000 gold coins, going once!" 

Ye Yurou's shoulders sank slightly, and her eyes also drooped. There was a flash of restraint in her eyes.

Only the slender fingers twisting together in her lap showed that her heart was not at all calm.

She had initially come for the star matrix, but hadn't expected Jiang Xuan to step in and make a bid. Before she could even open her mouth, the price of the star matrix was already far beyond her expectations.

Even though she really wanted it, she knew that the star matrix was not worth that price, so she had to give it up.

She never expected that there would be a Tier 6 Yuan Soul-Fire Crystal!

She was now close to breaking through the peak of the Novice realm. If she could get help from this Yuan Soul-Fire Crystal, she would be able to greatly increase her level! Perhaps she could even break through to the Divine Psionic Realm in one go!

Ye Yurou was so excited inside, and it was difficult for her to control herself.

But, no one expected that this mystery man would start the bid with 3,000,000 gold coins!

At this price, Ye Yurou could still fight. But, she hadn't expected Jiang Xuan, that idiot, to actually add 500,000 gold coins directly on top of that!

And then, that mysterious man was obviously doing this on purpose and directly increased the bid to 4,500,000 gold coins!

Ye Yurou was well aware that the Ye family was inferior to the Jiang family, so it was impossible for her to bid against such an outrageous price.

It was evident that Ye Yurou wouldn't be winning this bid. But, if Jiang Xuan were to obtain it, she could speak to him. It was possible that he would share some of it with her…

A calculating glint entered her eyes when she thought about it, and her lips suddenly spread into a soft smile. 

"Brother Jiang Xuan, this Yuan Soul-Fire Crystal is good. But, this price is quite outrageous already. Perhaps it's better to let it go…" 

When Jiang Xuan heard this, the fire in his heart burned more furiously!

How could he let the woman he loved see such a condescending side of him?!

This crystal, he was definitely taking it!

Fiercely gritting his teeth, Jiang Xuan's eyes were red, and his expression was somewhat sinister.

"5,000,000 gold coins!" 

Five million!

The hall was dead silent.

Only Jiang Xuan's ragged breathing could clearly be heard.

That was from anger, but also because he was too worked up.

Mu Qinglan quietly thought to herself that these days, when people were being taken advantage of, their lung capacity was usually good. Otherwise, what would happen if she had taken on the debt in her moment of carelessness?

Jiang Xuan gave Mu Qinglan a deadly glare. This strange man wanted to fight, didn't he? Then, Jiang Xuan would fight him to the end!

The others in the hall were of the same mindset, so they all turned to look at Mu Qinglan. This mysterious man was adamant about grabbing this treasure, so how much would he raise the bid this time?

For a while, even a pin drop could be heard in the hall.

Mu Qinglan suddenly stood up and turned to the side slightly. She clasped her hand in front of her in a salute and said with a smile, "Young Master Jiang, you're very generous. I'm ashamed to say that I'm inferior to you in this aspect." 

W-what was that supposed to mean?!

Hearing those words, many people immediately came to a realization. This person had done all of that on purpose!

Jiang Xuan said in a sharp voice, "You can't take out 4,500,000 gold coins at all, can you?!" 

Mu Qing smiled brightly. She was obviously in a good mood.

"You jest, Young Master Jiang. Forget about 4,500,000 gold coins. I can't even take out 450 gold coins right now." 

Boom!

Jiang Xuan just about exploded from rage.
