Dai Zhiman being a headache

The prices of the auction items were far beyond their financial capabilities. To progress on their cultivation path and go far, they needed sufficient financial support, which they currently lacked.

"Forty thousand gold coins!"

The bidding quickly escalated, and within a short period, the price of the Mysterious Star Sword had surpassed the fifty-thousand mark.

However, as the price reached fifty thousand, fewer cultivators continued to participate in the auction.

"Fifty-one thousand gold coins!"

Shao Zifan finally started bidding. He knew that it was impossible to secure the Mysterious Star Sword with his earlier bids. It was better to wait until there were fewer competitors before joining the bidding.

Dai Zhiman, who was initially feeling bored in the first-class seats, suddenly sparked with interest upon hearing the bidding coming from Bai Li Hongzhuang's box.

A cunning and malicious smile appeared on her face as she said, "Offend me, and I'll make you pay a price first!"

"Fifty-two thousand gold coins!"

Dai Zhiman's voice resounded in the hall.

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Li Hongzhuang narrowed her eyes. It was apparent that Dai Zhiman was deliberately causing trouble by bidding with a whip instead of a sword.

"Fifty-three thousand gold coins!" Shao Zifan spoke up once again.

"Fifty-four thousand gold coins!" Dai Zhiman immediately followed.

No matter how much Shao Zifan bid, Dai Zhiman consistently added one thousand gold coins.

Although she had no previous conflicts with Shao Zifan, since he was associated with Bai Li Hongzhuang, he became her target!

Seeing Dai Zhiman persistently raising the bid, a hint of anger arose in Shao Zifan's heart.

The other competitors had already given up long ago. If it weren't for Dai Zhiman's interference, he would have secured the Mysterious Star Sword by now!

"Sixty thousand gold coins!" Shao Zifan increased the bid by five thousand gold coins, displaying his frustration.

Seeing Shao Zifan getting angry, Dai Zhiman's smile grew wider. "Sixty-one thousand gold coins!"

Everyone present understood the competition between Dai Zhiman and Shao Zifan. They were well aware of the previous conflicts between Dai Zhiman and Bai Li Hongzhuang and others.

However, Dai Zhiman's malicious way of increasing the bid was detestable. No one liked encountering such people during auctions.

It was a senseless waste of money. After all, nobody's money came from thin air. Such behavior was despicable!

Su Jin also noticed this scene. As the auctioneer of the auction house, it was his responsibility to get the highest value for the items being auctioned.

Therefore, he was pleased to witness this situation.

Regardless of who ultimately acquired the Mysterious Star Sword, the auction house would profit!

"Seventy thousand gold coins!" Shao Zifan gritted his teeth and bid again.

"Seventy-one thousand gold coins!"

Dai Zhiman's smile remained, but she was somewhat surprised. The fact that she had managed to raise the price of the Mysterious Star Sword to this level showed Shao Zifan's love for the sword.

When Dai Zhiman announced the bid of seventy-one thousand gold coins, Shao Zifan let out a sigh of relief.

He had prepared a total of seventy thousand gold coins for this outing, thinking it would be enough to secure the weapon he wanted. But everything had been ruined by Dai Zhiman.

"You're giving up?" Bai Li Hongzhuang asked.

Shao Zifan shook his head helplessly. "The price is too expensive..."

Zhao Yunqian's face showed anger. "Dai Zhiman is truly outrageous! Absolutely shameless!"

A true gentleman does not snatch what others love, and Dai Zhiman was utterly contemptible.
