Chapter 5959
5959 Old scoundrel
Dachang Lu laughed and said,”little girl, how am I threatening you?” I only expressed my love for the starry sky flowing flame gold. If I can’t bid for it, I’ll be thinking about it day and night, and I won’t be able to sleep. I’ll keep thinking about the person who got the starry sky flowing flame gold. These are all facts. How did describing the facts become a threat? You can’t accuse a good person!”
Lin Yi was amused-this old scoundrel hadn’t changed at all. He was still as good at pestering people as ever. Huang Wenjing might be a pretty girl, but she’d still have a hard time arm-wrestling with this old scoundrel.
However, Huang Wen Jing had no intention of arguing with Dachang Lu. She replied coldly,””Senior Lu, please conduct yourself with dignity. Other than the normal price, do not make any personal remarks. Otherwise, your price will be invalid!”
“Hey, little girl, are you threatening this old man? Even if li zaixiang is here, he has to be polite when speaking to me. You little girl, are you trying to be cheeky?” There was some anger in Dachang’s voice, but Lin Yi knew that it was all an act. The old man wouldn’t get angry so easily, and he was only pretending. Only an idiot would believe him.
Huang Wen Jing was unmoved. Even the smile that she had been maintaining was gone. However, this cold-faced girl’s appearance was quite fun to watch.
” 4550 spirit Jade going once. Is there anyone who would like to raise the bid? The starry sky flowing flame gold is a rare treasure!” Huang Wen Jing said unhurriedly. Since the start of the auction, she had never incited bidding during the countdown. Today, she was deliberately doing this because she was angered by Dachang Lu.
No one felt that Huang Wen Jing’s actions were inappropriate. They even hoped that the fifth or sixth box could continue to bid higher than the arrogant Dachang Lu. These two boxes were obviously not short of money and were not afraid of trouble. Unfortunately, after they made their bids, there was no more movement.
“Forty-five million spirit Jade going twice!” Huang Wen Jing’s eyes swept across the private rooms on the second floor, and there was a faint disappointment in them. It seemed that Dachang Lu’s threat had worked. Otherwise, there would have been a new offer.
For such a large lump of starry sky flowing flame gold, 455 spirit Jade was definitely worth it. An additional 30 to 40 million spirit Jade was within the normal range. Unfortunately, after being stirred up by that damned Lu Dachang, it seemed that there was no higher bid.
Knowing that there was no point in dragging things out, Huang Wen Jing made a third bid and officially confirmed that the starry sky flowing flame gold was Lu Dachang ‘s.
LAN Guzha asked in puzzlement,”boss, you know that stinky Rascal? He didn’t seem like a good person, right? Even if you know him, you don’t have to be afraid of him, right?”
“Who says I’m afraid of him? I just feel that since there’s something free, why spend the spiritual Jade? Wouldn’t it be interesting to squeeze something out of such a scoundrel?” Lin Yi explained with a smile.
LAN Guzha’s eyes immediately brightened. He asked excitedly,”Boss, this old scoundrel won’t agree so easily, right? If he gets arrogant, can I beat him up?”
“I don’t think that old scoundrel will give you the chance. Alright, let’s not talk about him for now. Let’s continue to look at the next item.” Lin Yi smiled faintly. He didn’t think that Dachang would reject him. At most, he’d give him some normal pills in exchange.
The next items were things that Lin Yi wasn’t interested in. Something like the starry sky flowing flame gold was rare, and so he didn’t bid much. Time passed quickly, and the fourth day of the auction came to an end. It seemed like the soul raising wood would only be available on the last day.
With nothing else to do, Lin Yi decided to continue asking li Zeyu about the northernmost Island. After the auction was over tomorrow, he would have to return to the island first, but hou guanqi, Cai Zhongyang, Hong Zhong, and the others might stay for a few more days. It would be troublesome if something happened and they were all trapped.
Lin Yi didn’t go look for Dachang yet when he walked out of the room-the guy was walking in his direction with his son.
“Oh my, isn’t this Master Lin? I heard that you’re also on the northernmost Island. I wanted to visit you but I couldn’t find you. I finally got to see you today!” Dachang Lu laughed as he walked over, showing great enthusiasm.
He’d heard about Lin Yi’s friendship with Zhuang Yifan. He was a big Shot in the East continent, completely different from a guest elder in the morning Star City. Lin Yi’s value naturally rose in his eyes.
Not to mention, Lin Yi himself was a Mystic second level refiner! In the yellow-class Sea area of the East continent, the status of a Mystic second level Alchemist was no less than that of Zhuang Yifan.
“Elder Lu, nice to meet you!” Lin Yi smiled faintly as Lu xiaozhong bowed to him. Lin Yi nodded back in return.
“Eh, is Master Lin in room number five? I didn’t know about this before. If I had known, I would have come here to visit Master Lin. ” Dachang acted as if this was the first time he knew about Lin Yi’s room, smiling and nodding at Wei shenjin and LAN Guzha. He needed to build a good relationship with people who could follow Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was thinking about how to get some starry sky flowing flame gold from Dachang Lu, and so he smiled at the old scoundrel as they walked out.
“Oh right, if Master Lin is in room five, I think he was interested in this item before? If you need it, I’ll give this to Master Lin!” Dachang Lu took two steps and suddenly remembered something. He took out a sealed Jade box and handed it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi scanned it with his spirit sense and knew that it was the starry sky flowing flame gold. It was completely intact.
“How can I accept something that elder Lu spent so much effort to bid for?” Lin Yi wanted to get some from Dachang, but the old man gave it all away so easily. He was a little suspicious.
Dachang’s eyes flickered. He looked rough on the surface, but he was actually very meticulous. Lin Yi didn’t even open the box and he already knew what was inside. This little detail made him realize that Lin Yi’s spirit sense wasn’t inferior to his at all, maybe even stronger.
“Hahaha, Master Lin, you’re too polite. You can just call me old Lu. This is just a small thing. With our friendship, why would I care about this? Come, come, come, quickly accept it, or else I, old Lu, will take it that you are looking down on me!” Dachang pushed the box into Lin Yi’s hands with a “please don’t mind it” look.
