Cultivation Pet Shop

Chapter 939 Auction (5)



When this voice rang out, the auction hall once again fell into silence.

Everyone remembered this voice since it had left a large impression on them before.

After all, there was no one that could bid the same amount as this voice. Even now, it was still bidding at a level that no one else could keep up with.

Earlier, everyone had doubted whether that person who had made this bid could pay the dragon vein crystal like they had bidded. However, since there had been no stir from the Forest Auction House side, they were certain that it had already been paid.

So no one dared to look down on the owner of this voice.

After all, someone that could afford to pay a dragon vein crystal definitely wasn’t a normal person.

No one wanted to offend that person.

And now, that person was making a move again, so everyone couldn’t help waiting with bated breath for what happened next.

They recognized that the person who made this bid was different from the person who had just made the bid for a “thousand high grade spirit jades”. This person had also made a bid right after the person that bid a “thousand high grade spirit jades” last time.

Even a fool would be able to tell that there was tension between these two people.

So they were all waiting to see what would happen next.

Inside the VVIP room, Lin Hong’s expression turned very ugly as he looked at Lin Fan, but he didn’t say anything as he just glared at Lin Fan. It was almost as if he was waiting for Lin Fan to give an explanation.

However, Lin Fan didn’t even bother looking at Lin Hong as he looked directly at the stage, looking right at the Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood. It was as if Lin Hong was like the air to him.

Lin Hong’s face couldn’t help turning darker and darker when he saw this, but he held his silence.

Eventually, the beautiful auctioneer finished her three count and the item went to Lin Fan.

As soon as this item was sold, the audience broke out in applause.

Even if they couldn’t win the item themselves, they would do all they could to flatter the person that had won it. After all, that person was clearly not a normal person, so if they could catch their attention, it would naturally be good for them.

Inside of the VVIP room, all of the cousins looked at Lin Fan with strange looks.

There was only silence in this room until the manager came in.

This time, he didn’t even bother going to Lin Hong since he knew exactly who had made that bid. There was only one person that could make a bid like this, the person that had given him the dragon vein crystal from before.

So the manager quickly brought the Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood over and placed it in front of Lin Fan. Then he kneeled there, peeking up at Lin Fan as if he was waiting for something.

But Lin Fan just sat there without moving a single finger as if he didn’t even see the manager.

Even so, the manager didn’t dare say a thing as he waited.

During all of this, Lin Hong’s expression kept fluctuating. It was as if he wanted to say something, but then he swallowed his words and just sat there in silence.

However, it was clear by the look on his face that he didn’t feel good about all of this.

Lin Fan didn’t care and just sat there for a long time in silence, letting Lin Hong stew in his rage.

Yes, that was what he was doing.

He knew that by acting this way, he would hurt Lin Hong more than he could by saying something.

Sometimes, silence really was the best weapon.

Finally, after a long time, Lin Fan finally waved his hand and pulled out another crystal that was just like the one that he had pulled out before. He casually tossed it at the manager who eagerly caught it with a bright smile and then quickly left the room without even bother talking to the other young masters and young misses.

They were clearly unhappy about this, but if they were to say anything, it would be their reputation ruined instead of Lin Fan’s. So they had no choice but to sit there and take it even if they were fuming on the inside.

Once the manager left, all of them just sat there in silence until Lin Hong waved his hand to send off the maids that were taking care of them.

Seeing this, the maids all tactfully left the room since they were already used to this.

They knew that important people like this would use these rooms to talk about business sometimes, so they had already learned to recognize this. Not to mention, Lin Hong made it very clear with his hand signal.

Once they were gone and there were only members of the Lin Astral Family left, Lin Hong said with a smile, “Cousin, it truly is kind of you to buy this item for me. I’ll take it now if you’ll hand it over.”

With the way that he said it, he made it sound so natural as if this was how things should be.

However, all of the others who heard this couldn’t help knitting their brows and narrowing their eyes to look at Lin Hong.

They clearly knew what he was trying to do, but they also didn’t say anything as they wanted to see how Lin Fan would react.

After all, if Lin Fan acquiesced to this request, that would mean that there was still room for them to do something.

As long as they could get this Ruler Artifact Embryo, they didn’t care what they did at this point.

So they were all just waiting for Lin Fan’s reaction.

Lin Fan just acted like he didn’t hear him at all when Lin Hong said this and continued watching the auction hall below him.

Seeing this, there was a vein that popped out on Lin Hong’s forehead when he saw this, but he continued saying in a friendly voice, “Cousin, stop playing around and hand it over.”

Though his voice was friendly, there was a threatening tone that couldn’t be missed that was underneath it.

Lin Fan just calmly looked at him and asked, “Why would I do that? This is something that I bought for myself, so I’ll keep it. If you want it, you can buy it next time.”

Lin Hong suddenly slammed his fist on the table and said in a fierce voice, “Will you really not accept the drink offered to you or are you just stupid?”

Lin Fan just calmly looked at him for a second before suddenly narrowing his eyes and releasing the same pressure that he released when they first met. As soon as this pressure was released, Lin Hong and all of the juniors of the Lin Astral Family couldn’t help taking a step back.

Then Lin Fan just said, “Why should I? What is there to gain for me to be friends with a bunch of useless pieces of trash like you?”

Lin Hong and all of the juniors of the Lin Astral Family couldn’t understand what Lin Fan said at first, but the moment that they processed his words, they were immediately filled with rage.

They had already known that Lin Fan was arrogant, but they never thought that he would be so arrogant that he would act this way!

No matter what, they were still Lin Fan’s seniors, so he couldn’t just treat them like this!

At this point, Lin Xue couldn’t help revealing a worried expression since she knew that these people all had a higher level of cultivation than Lin Fan. But then Angela patted her on her hand and shook her head to show that it was fine.

She couldn’t help relaxing a bit when this happened, but then she also quickly pulled back her hand and pushed Angela’s hand away.

When Angela saw this, she couldn’t help revealing a smile.

Lin Hong then pointed at Lin Fan and said, “Since you won’t accept the toast offered, then prepare to suffer the consequences. I challenge you to a duel.”

He pointed at the piece of Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood and said, “If I win, this is mine.”

Lin Fan just calmly looked back at him and asked, “What do I get if I win?”

The way that he said it, it was almost as if he thought that he was already going to win.

This arrogance once again enraged Lin Hong and the other juniors of the Lin Astral Family.

But Lin Hong couldn’t just ignore it because he was right.

If he wanted to take the Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood, he had to offer something of equivalent value or there was no reason for Lin Fan to accept this duel.

Just challenging Lin Fan to this duel was already embarrassing for him since he was someone with a higher level of cultivation challenging someone with a lower level of cultivation. This would already bring shame to him when it was spread, but if he wanted to duel him for this Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood for nothing, he wouldn’t be able to live it down.

But in the end, he didn’t have anything that would have the same value as this piece of Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood, so he didn’t know what to say.

Seeing this look on his face, Lin Fan said, “Alright, if I win, you become my slave.”

Lin Hong’s forehead was popping with veins when he heard this.

He was completely enraged when he heard this.

He never thought that Lin Fan would be so arrogant that he would demand that he became his slave!

This was arrogance that reached the heavens!

His anger reached the point where he wished that he could grab Lin Fan and rip him to pieces, but he couldn’t do that. Even if they were going to duel, it would be a duel within limits because they were still members of the Lin Astral Family.

If he was to kill another member of the Lin Astral Family, not to mention someone with a high position in the Lin Astral Emperor’s heart like Lin Fan, there was no need to talk about his future in the family even if he won the Ten Thousand Year Old Acacia Wood.

But his rage and pride forced him to a point of no return, so Lin Hong said in a booming voice, “Alright! I accept these terms!”

It was just a good thing that the walls in this room were thick, or else he would have died of shame if someone else heard this.
