Lu Zheng paused and raised his hand. “Why don’t we compete fairly?”
Seeing that Lu Zheng had come with ill intentions, Huo Xuan didn’t have the chance to retort before Mo Zhu suddenly pressed his hand under his sleeve secretly, away from the sight of others. She looked coldly at Lu Zheng who was on the other side of the corridor.
Sensing Mo Zhu’s displeasure, Lu Zheng was even more certain that the one on the stage was the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. He looked straight at Mo Zhu and raised his eyebrows noncommittally.
Huo Xuan held Mo Zhu’s hand and looked up calmly as he replied to Lu Zheng, “Since Young Master Lu wants to compete sincerely, I will definitely accompany you to the end. However, it’s really hard to say who will win this spirit herb. Young Master Lu, please show me your true abilities.”
Before Lu Zheng could continue, Huo Xuan held Mo Zhu’s hand and turned to the host below the stage. He said loudly, “100 billion.”
Seeing the herb that had a starting price of five billion had its price suddenly raised to 100 billion in just a few rounds, the host was so frightened that cold sweat kept appearing on his forehead. He looked at the few people on the second floor with trembling eyes, and his hand that was holding the microphone was trembling like a sieve.
“110 billion.” Lu Zheng followed closely behind and bid.
In the Lu family’s private room, seeing that the man had already shouted out the price that the Lu family had originally expected to bid the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb at, the white-bearded old man could not sit still. He slowly walked out of the private room and came to Lu Zheng’s side. He said nervously, “Young Master, if we continue shouting like this, we might face a situation where our funds are insufficient. Besides, this medicine on the stage is definitely not the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. We can’t fall into the Huo family’s trap!”
Although what Elder Fei said made sense, Lu Zheng was currently determined to win the auction. His mind was filled with increasing the price, and he could not calm down and consider so much.
“That’s impossible. Elder Fei, you’re already old. Maybe you were seeing things previously. That little girl can’t possibly buy an ordinary spirit herb at such a high price for no reason. The one on the stage is definitely the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. Believe me!”
While the two of them were talking, Huo Xuan had already raised the price to 150 billion. When Lu Zheng heard this price, his eyes turned red. “160 billion!”
Seeing that Lu Zheng did not listen to his advice, Elder Fei did not have any other good ideas. He turned around and returned to the private room. He called the subordinate in black in front of him and instructed softly, “Mortgage all the property of the Lu family into cash that can be cashed out. From the looks of it, it won’t be easy for Young Master to reconcile with the Huo family today. Hurry up and settle this matter, or else the entire Lu family will lose face if you can’t pay later.”
On the corridor, Huo Xuan and Lu Zheng were still raising the prices. In another few minutes, the prices had already reached 200 billion.
Upon hearing Huo Xuan bid 200 billion, even Xu Huan and Mo Wu couldn’t help but worry.
Xu Huan secretly came to Huo Xuan’s back and poked him with his elbow forcefully before asking anxiously, “Brother Huo, how much money did we bring to the auction this time?”
Huo Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Huan. “200 billion.”
Once he said this, Mo Wu instantly became nervous. “Young Master, we’ve prepared a total of 200 billion yuan to auction for the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. Since Ms. Mo has already said that the one on the stage is not the one, why should we spend so much money to win this herb from Young Master Lu? We should just stop while we’re ahead and reserve the money to wait patiently for the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb to appear on stage!”
Huo Xuan took Mo Wu’s suggestion to heart. He turned to look at Mo Zhu, who was standing quietly beside him. The girl had one hand on the railing and the other clenched her fists tightly. It seemed like she really cared about the spirit herb on the stage.
Without saying anything else, Huo Xuan retracted his gaze and waved at the two people behind him.. “But Mo Zhu wants it.”
