Mr. Xiang, I have a request and suggestion. I wonder if you can consider it?”Xi Men Yu's expression was a little nervous.
"Oh, please." Xiang Wen said.
"Mr. Xiang, can you sell one bottle to our Ximen family in private first and auction the other four bottles? Of course, we will definitely give a fair price, which is the average price of the other four bottles.”Xi Men Yu said his request uneasily in his heart.
" Of course. What's your suggestion?" Xiang Wen smiled.
"I suggest that we don't publicize it on a large scale, because it will cause too much of a sensation in the secular world. We should only publicize it on a small scale and invite those wealthy families.
Xiang Wen thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed. However, he added,"I have a request, and that is to not reveal the identity of the owner of the 1,000-year Stalactite. In other words, you have to keep it a secret for me. I don't want to be harassed, and you have to settle it within a week.”
" Absolutely no problem, then let's sign an agreement." Xi Men Yu said happily, thinking that he had finally made a great contribution to the family this time.
After signing the agreement, Xiang Wen and Huang Siya left the auction house. They had solved a big problem and were both relieved.
And at the auction house, the first thing Xi Men Yu did after signing the contract was to call his father, Xi Men Tian, to report the good news. Xi Men Tian was so excited that he even said," Okay!"
That night, all the major clans and sects received news that four bottles of 1,000-year Stalactite would be auctioned at the Sande Auction House at 8 PM in four days.
At the Ouyang family's house, Ouyang Jianguo rushed home and said to Ouyang Yue,""Dad, have you heard about the news of the 1,000-year Stalactite?”
Ouyang Yue nodded and said," I've also just received the news. The Martial Arts Circle Convention that happens once every ten years is in half a year's time. At that time, you have to get a bottle at all costs."”
"Dad, I know." Ouyang Jianguo nodded.
……
The same scene happened in Nangong clan, Wu clan, Chen clan, Tan clan, Mount Song, Mount Hua, Mount Wudang, and Mount Kunlun.
In the next few days, B City was in turmoil. Representatives from various families arrived one after another. All kinds of people were sensitive to the fact that something big was about to happen in B City. They all stopped fighting. The government's security department also attached great importance to it.
Xiang Wen, the culprit, was having a romantic candlelight dinner with Huang Siya.
"Sister Ya, how's the martial arts I taught you?”Xiang Wen was worried that someone might find out that the 1,000-year Stalactite came from him and cause some trouble. He regretted not disguising himself and going to the auction house.
"I practice every day, but I rarely practice fist, palm, and movement techniques.”Huang Siya wondered why Xiang Wen suddenly asked this question.
Xiang Wen told Huang Siya about his worries and told her to practice Kung Fu harder. Huang Siya nodded and agreed.
"That's right, Sister Ya. I'm already the top scorer of the national college entrance examination. Do you keep your promise in the past?”Xiang Wen suddenly remembered the promise and smiled.
"What is it? What did I say?”Huang Siya pretended to be crazy.
"Miss Huang, you actually went back on your word.”Xiang Wen gritted his teeth.
"I'm not a man or a gentleman. Why should I keep my word?”Huang Siya said proudly.
"You're shameless. I'll teach you a lesson when we get back.”Xiang Wen had a vicious expression on his face.
"I'm scared." Huang Siya also put on a frightened look.
In fact, Huang Siya did not forget the promise she had made. However, she felt that it was inconvenient for Bai Yan and Yang Liu to stay at Xiang Wen's house. She did not want to have an unforgettable first time at the hotel, so she had to pretend to be crazy.
That night, although there weren't many people in the small auction hall of the Sande Auction House, only about thirty of them, and everyone was talking and laughing, there was an invisible smoke in the dark.
"Brother Ouyang, I heard that your Ouyang Clan is determined to obtain it.”A fat middle-aged man said with a fake smile.
"No, no, we're no match for Brother Nangong in terms of wealth.”Ouyang Jianguo laughed. No one here was easy to get along with. It turned out that the fat middle-aged man was Nangong Xiong, the second generation of the Nangong family.
"Brother Ouyang is too modest. Your Ouyang family's wealth can be said to be one of the best in the martial arts world.”Nangong Xiong said hypocritically.
Such scenes were still happening from time to time. Xiang Wen, who had disguised himself as a rough man, watched everything on the scene coldly. He finally saw the power of the schemes of the noble families.
At eight o'clock sharp, Xi Men Yu brought two beautiful women to the auction table. The two beautiful women had two small porcelain bottles on their plates. For tonight's grand event, Xi Men Yu, who hadn't gone on stage for a long time, stood in front of the auction table again.
"Good evening, fellow martial artists. I believe that everyone knows that the subject of tonight's auction is the four bottles of Millennium Stalactite in front of us. As for the effects of the Millennium Stalactite, in order not to waste your precious time, I believe that I don't need to repeat them here. Alright, let's cut to the chase. Although everyone is also very anxious, the rules must be stated. There are four bottles of Millennium Stalactite, and they will be auctioned off one by one. The starting price of each bottle is 50 million, and each bid must not be lower than 5 million. The auction starts now. The first bottle starts at 50 million. Is there anyone who wants to raise the bid?”
"55 million." Someone immediately called out a price.
"This gentleman bid 55 million. Is there anyone higher than 55 million?”
Xi Men Yu's voice hadn't even faded when someone immediately shouted "60 million".
"Seventy million."
"Eighty million."
“……”
After that, without needing Xi Men Yu to instigate, the price soared all the way to 150 million. At this time, the bidding slowed down, and only five or six people were left with their placards.
"This gentleman with number 25 bids 150 million. Is there a higher price? If not, the first bottle of 1,000-year Stalactite will be this gentleman's.”
"160 million." Number 1o raised his placard.
"1.7 billion." Number 25 glared at Number 10.
"180 million." Number 1O immediately retaliated.
"Two hundred million." Number 25 raised the bid by 20 million this time and looked at Number 10 smugly.
After bidding 200 million, No. 1O hesitated and did not dare to bid.
"220 million." Number 8 stood up.
"230 million." Number 25 was sweating profusely.
"250 million." Number 8 called out again.
"This gentleman with number 8 bids 250 million. Is there a higher price? If not, the first bottle of 1,000-year Stalactite will belong to this gentleman. One…two…three, congratulations to this gentleman with number 8 for obtaining the first bottle of 1,000-year Stalactite.”
After that, the competition for the three bottles of 1,000-year Stalactite became even more intense. They were sold at a sky-high price of 260 million, 270 million, and 300 million respectively.
Xiang Wen was also very excited, not because he could get so much money, but because he could solve Huang Siya's troubles.
He went outside to get some wind to calm his excitement. Xiang Wen immediately called Huang Siya to tell her the good news. Huang Siya was also very excited when she heard it. She could finally get rid of Chen Ping's entanglement.
The next day, Xiang Wen went to the library to read as usual, but in the afternoon, he was pulled to the martial arts team by Yang Liu. She said mysteriously that she had something to do.
When they arrived at the martial arts team, Xiang Wen was immediately dragged to the lounge by Li Zhijian.
"What is it? Why are you being so mysterious?" Xiang Wen laughed.
"You'll know when you open it." Li Zhijian handed a letter to Xiang Wen.
Xiang Wen took the letter and read it. On the cover were the words " letter of challenge." I'm from the martial arts team of B University. I'm glad to hear that your team has a martial arts expert. My good-for-nothing disciple is no match for him. I'm also a martial arts enthusiast, so I want to have a competition with this expert of your team. I'll be waiting for you at 3 p.m. in five days. I hope to fulfill the wish of a martial arts enthusiast. -- the big wolf in the field flows empty-handed.
"After beating up the little one, the old one came.”Xiang Wen shook his head and smiled.
"Xiangwen, you must go up when the time comes. Tanaka Oroku is the master of the Empty-handed Martial Arts Dojo. No one in our team is his match.”Li Zhijian said worriedly.
"Don't worry, you're already on holiday anyway. I'll give you some special training these few days. You shouldn't lose to that wolf.”Xiang Wen did not plan to fight. Otherwise, if he defeated Tanaka Big Wolf, some other kid would come out. There would be no end to it.
"Me? Is that okay?" Li Zhijian was seriously lacking in confidence. Watanabe was no longer his opponent, let alone his master.
"Don't worry. Don't read books in the library for the next few days and focus on your special training.”Xiang Wen said.
"Alright, I'll do my best." Li Zhijian said.
"Let me take a look at your results during this period of time.”Xiang Wen wanted to check on Li Zhijian's condition.
When they arrived at the hall outside, Li Zhijian calmed down and began to perform the Taizu Long Fist. Xiang Wen nodded as he looked at it. After Li Zhijian finished performing, his face did not turn red and he did not pant.
"How is it?" Li Zhijian looked expectant. He also wanted to know how much he had improved.
"Compared to before, I've already made a lot of progress. My movements are correct and proficient, and they're also very coherent. However, my strength and aura are still slightly lacking.”Xiang Wen commented.
"You can train with him too.”Xiang Wen said to Yang Liu.
"How dare you not ask for my permission?”Yang Liu said unhappily.
"Then if I don't want you to participate, are you willing?”Xiang Wen said with a smile. Even if he was a martial arts fanatic like Yang Liu, she would definitely participate.
Sure enough, as Xiang Wen had expected, Yang Liu's answer was "unwilling."
"When will it start?" Li Zhijian asked.
"Time is precious. Let's start right away. It's already afternoon, so let's just focus on physical training today.”Xiang Wen said.
