1895: Slap on Face 10

Slap on Face 10

Then she could do whatever she pleased.2

If she wanted the Heavenly Dew Pills, she could produce them in large quantities herself. There was no need for her to spend 2.8 million on them.

As Zhao Dier's bid was raised, the room fell into a hushed silence. Everyone held their breath, waiting to see if Gu Chaoyan would continue with her bidding. How much would the price for the Heavenly Dew Pills escalate? It had already reached a staggering 2 million, and now it stood at 2.8 million. Spectators were eagerly anticipating the unfolding drama, as there were always individuals who were both foolish and wealthy.

Zhao Dier, too, eagerly awaited Gu Chaoyan's response. Even at 2.8 million, she was ready to outbid her without hesitation. Piaomiao Pavilion was confident in their ability to do so, but Gu Chaoyan was not.

What if she married the King of the Saint Divine Land?

In the Saint Divine Land, where nobody cultivated, nothing held true value.

Gu Chaoyan lacked confidence.

Without saying a word, Gu Chaoyan let the auctioneer make the final call. "The Heavenly Dew Pills, sold for 2.8 million Golden Sabers to Lady Dier."

Silence filled the room.

"The next item is the Meteor Hammer. It possesses great power, but its weight is a disadvantage."

While the auctioneer continued speaking…

Zhao Dier wore a smug smile on her face.

"Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? She's no match for me! If the auctioneer hadn't intervened, the black iron would have been mine!"

Zhao Dier's pride swelled within her. Despite facing obstacles throughout the day, she had just successfully secured the bid for the Heavenly Dew Pills.

Certainly, Zhao Dier was filled with happiness and pride.

However…

Wuxing couldn't help but sigh, feeling a sense of exasperation. As a member of Piaomiao Pavilion, he couldn't help but notice the lack of strategic thinking from Lady Dier.

Did she truly believe that she had won the competition?

"Elder Miss, Piaomiao Pavilion is capable of producing Heavenly Dew Pills on our own. We don't need to spend 2.8 million golden sabers to obtain them. Even if we did, 1.8 million golden sabers would already be considered a high price for Heavenly Dew Pills. By spending a total of 2.8 million golden sabers, you've essentially gifted Haitian Auction House a generous sum," Wuxing explained with a hint of disappointment.

"…."

"If you wish to compete, you should do so within a reasonable range. Winning for the sake of winning serves no purpose," Wuxing reminded her.

Elder Miss would undoubtedly complain to Mr. Head, and as the one responsible for accompanying her, Wuxing would also face Mr. Head's scolding. It was not a worthwhile outcome.

Hearing Wuxing's words, a few people around them began to chatter. "Let's forget about acquiring anything today. We can target someone who is both foolish and wealthy when Elder Miss is not around. We should distance ourselves from her. Spending 2.8 million for a single Heavenly Dew Pill, how foolish of her to disrupt the auction's rules. Piaomiao Pavilion is becoming increasingly arrogant."

Such was the conversation circulating among them.

Zhao Dier's expression darkened.

She had been so fixated on obtaining the item that she hadn't considered the consequences. She hadn't anticipated being scolded in such a manner.

Zhao Dier's face grew solemn.

She was certain that Gu Chaoyan had intentionally orchestrated this. Gu Chaoyan sought revenge against her.
