Chapter 59: Finale

At another private box, Xiao Weimin frowned.

Seeing this, Lin Mengmeng leaned over and held the person’s arm.

“Brother Weimin, is something wrong?” She asked.

However, Xiao Weimin didn’t answer.

Instead, he stared at the opposite box.

“Do you know the cultivators in that box?” Bai Guo asked with a vigilant look in his eyes.

Since he met Xiao Weimin, he had seen many expressions on the person.

However, only when he looked at Shen Xu did the person show a mix of inexplicable emotions.

At this time, Xiao Weimin was showing the same mix of emotions as when looking at Shen Xu.

“GuoGuo, does that person’s voice remind you of Xu’er?”

“Xu’er?” Bai Guo shuddered and Lin Mengmeng felt an uncomfortable sadness in her heart.

When she married Xiao Weimin, she didn’t demand fidelity.

After all, Xiao Weimin was a rare genius. Such a person was expected to marry many wives and concubines.

However, even knowing that; a hidden part of herself still hoped.

Unfortunately, when Xiao Weimin returned with Bai Guo, her hope was rudely and unceremoniously dashed.

Now, she didn’t expect fidelity but hoped Xiao Weimin wouldn’t marry too many people.

Unexpectedly, before Bai Guo could officially become the second wife, Xiao Weimin was already looking at another person.

Thinking of this, Lin Mengmeng felt bitter.

However, she loved Xiao Weimin and knew he also loved her.

Unfortunately, while she loved him singly, he loved more than just her and would love many more in the future.

After shaking her head to dispel the gloomy thoughts, Lin Mengmeng looked at the opposite box.

“Who is Xu’er?” She asked in a deceptively calm voice.

“Fourth young master Shi.” Bai Guo immediately answered.

“Fourth young master Shi…, Shen Xu?” Lin Mengmeng couldn’t help but be surprised.

After all, rumour had it that Shen Xu eloped with a wild man.

“Isn’t fourth young master Shi married?” Lin Mengmeng asked and Xiao Weimin subconsciously frowned.

“Brother Weimin and I met young master Shi in Blue Spring town. He is married to a cultivator named Zhen Yuan.”

“Zhen Yuan? There doesn’t seem to be a Zhen family in our Canglan continent.” Lin Mengmeng frowned.

“His adoptive father has the surname, Wen. Who knows where Zhen Yuan came from.” Xiao Weimin grumbled in a sour voice.

“He could be from another continent.” Bai Guo suggested.

After all, he was also an outsider who accidentally fell into the Canglan continent.

“It’s possible.” Lin Mengmeng nodded.

“Brother Weimin…, if fourth young master Shi is married, then…”

However, Xiao Weimin didn’t want to listen to whatever Lin Mengmeng wanted to say.

Instead, he turned to the stage and narrowed his eyes.

“I want to buy the jasper pear.” He said.

Hearing this, Lin Mengmeng and Bai Guo were both distracted.

“Two million.” Someone shouted.

“Two million and one hundred thousand.”

“Two million and five hundred thousand.”

“Three million.”

When he heard the numerous bids, Xiao Weimin frowned.

In his heart, the jasper pear was his treasure.

His chance to advance to the peak of the foundation establishment realm.

Thinking this way, he immediately joined the bidding war.

“Five million.” He shouted.

When others heard this, they looked at the Xiao family’s box.

However, they couldn’t see inside or the person who suddenly increased the bid by two million.

“Six million.” Another cultivator on the third floor countered.

“Ten million.” Xiao Weimin said.

Hearing this, the person didn’t continue to fight.

Soon after, the jasper pear was delivered to the Xiao box and Xiao Weimin couldn’t help but look at it with a hint of nostalgia.

Seeing the look, Bai Guo and Lin Mengmeng were confused.

However, neither asked anything.

Instead, they looked at each other and shared a rare moment of empathy.

After that, the auction continued as usual and soon reached the finale.

“I know everyone has been looking forward to this lot.” Song Wanqing said with a teasing voice.

“Don’t make us wait any longer.” Someone shouted from the third floor.

Hearing this, several people nodded and Song Wanqing laughed in amusement.

“Well then…” Song Wanqing said and an old man came forward with a closed box.

When he reached Song Wanqing, he opened the box and took a jade pendant.

“Seven senior appraisers have examined this jade pendant and have confirmed its function.” Song Wanqing said in a solemn voice.

“According to their appraisal, this jade pendant can reflexively block three full-strength attacks of a peak-level golden core realm cultivator. Most importantly, it can double the attack power and rebound it to the opponent.”

When the audience heard this, they couldn’t help but be shocked.

The auction booklet mentioned the blocking function but hid the rebound function.

Now that the matter was announced, everyone was understandably shocked.

After all, having the jade pendant meant having three extra lives.

Most importantly, it meant having the ability to kill a golden core realm cultivator.

“The starting price is one hundred million and the price increase cannot be less than ten million.”

“One hundred and ten million.” Someone immediately offered.

“One hundred and twenty million.”

“What’s the use of taking baby steps? I will buy it for two hundred million.”

“You want to buy it for a mere two hundred million? Do you think we are stupid? I will take it for five hundred million.”

“Five hundred and ten million.”

“Five hundred and fifty million.”

.

.

.

“Seven hundred million.”

“Eight hundred million.”

.

.

.

“One billion going once. One billion going twice. Sold to young master Song for one billion spirit stones.”

Listening to the bids and sale of the jade pendant, Xiao Weimin was very uncomfortable.

’This jade pendant didn’t appear in my previous life.’ He thought with a dull expression.

When Xiao Weimin was in retreat to advance to the mid-stage of the foundation establishment realm, he was suddenly reborn.

He didn’t know the reason for his rebirth but felt uneasy about it.

That said, he came to the auction knowing what to expect.

However, unexpected things kept happening and Xiao Weimin couldn’t help but worry.
