More than half of the people on the first floor of the auction hall were shocked by the starting price and the lowest bid. However, many people were still sitting calmly, especially in the VIP rooms on the second floor which were covered by screens.
This auction was definitely many times more expensive than the one Wu Ji had held in Sand City. The highest price Wu Ji had auctioned was an Eight Neonate Dragon Coffin that cost 55,000 yuan.
However, the starting price of every item here was much higher than the Eight Neonate Dragon Coffin. Huo Xiyu and Little Lian were stunned when they heard the starting price.
Wu Ji knocked Huo Xiyu's head, and the latter immediately cried out in pain,""Smelly scoundrel, why are you hitting my head again?”
"Look at how frightened you two are. Don't forget that we're sitting in the VIP room now.”Wu Ji scolded her with a smile. Huo Xiyu snorted and didn't say anything. The host was already calling for the first treasure to come on stage.
"The first item is a censer used by the Song Dynasty royal family. According to historical records, there are a total of six censer. However, there was only one left, so its value was not much.”
As soon as the emcee finished speaking, the hostess carried the incense burner and walked in front of the auction guests so that they could admire it.
The first round of items was mainly targeted at the guests on the first floor. The guests in the VIP rooms on the second floor were not very interested in such items.
Wu Ji was comfortably lying on the soft couch in the VIP room. When he heard that the bidding had already begun, he said to Little Lian,"Little Lian, Young Master's back is a little sore.”
Little Lian immediately agreed, but Huo Xiyu stopped her and said,""Little Lian, who are you? Don't worry about him. He's still so lazy on such an important occasion.”
Wu Ji rolled his eyes and said," Huo Xiyu, have I spoiled you too much? You're just a bunch of useless toys." While there was still time, he might as well take a nap.”
After he finished speaking, Wu Ji turned around and closed his eyes."Little Lian, remember to wake me up when the scroll is out and the Japanese attack. Remember to wake me up.”
"Alright, Young Master. Have a good rest.”Xiao Lian replied obediently. Huo Xiyu glared at her and said,""You're siding with an outsider!"
Little Lian stuck out her tongue and smiled.""Miss, Young Master Wu has been tired these past few days. But you are also tired, Miss. You have to get up at night to cover Young Master Wu with a blanket…hehe.”
Embarrassed, Huo Xiyu made a shushing gesture and said,"Shh, Little Lian, keep your voice down. Don't let that stinky bad guy know. How old are you? I've never seen you kicking your blanket every night when you sleep!”
"Hahaha ~~"
The two women started laughing as they talked, but Wu Ji actually heard them clearly. He was taking a nap, but he didn't let himself fall asleep. Otherwise, if Huo Xiyu and Xiao Lian missed it, it would be a big deal.
The auction items brought the atmosphere of the auction to its peak. At this moment, Yi Yue 'er and Anu were sitting in the most inconspicuous private room on the second floor.
Yi Yue 'er also felt sleepy after watching for a while. She patted her cheek and asked,"Anu, when will the sponsorship list be sent over?”
"Miss, it should be soon." Anu smiled.
Yi Yue 'er let out a sigh of relief and said,""Father is really too much. Isn't it just because I'm a girl? He let me do everything else and didn't let me interfere in the auction. Otherwise, it would definitely be even more exciting."
"Miss, I think you want to give the Supreme Immortal Grass to Young Master Wu directly, right?”
"You're so smart. After following me for so long, you still don't know what I'm thinking? I either don't like it, or I won't give up easily if I like it. Wasn't it just a Supreme Immortal Grass? If it was used on someone useful, it would be a treasure. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a grass?”
Yi Yue 'er's carefree personality was fully revealed. Beside her, Anu also shook his head with a bitter smile. At this moment, a servant brought over the list of sponsorship places. Yi Yue 'er immediately snatched it and found Wu Ji's name.
"So many? When he asked me for 500,000 yuan, I should have that much money. How could he have flipped so much in just three days?”Yi Yue 'er couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the amount of money Wu Ji had guaranteed.
Anu took a look and said," That's right. I really didn't expect this Young Master Wu to have such a family background. He can't be the young master of some big family, right?"”
"It doesn't look like it. How can a rich kid be as manly as him? Don't you think about chopping off the head of the vice president in front of the president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce? This is definitely not something that those pampered young masters have the guts to do.”
Ah Nu didn't want to hear her Miss's evaluation of Wu Ji anymore. Anyway, she didn't say a single bad word about Wu Ji.
The master and servant did not say anything else. They put the guarantee list away and Yi Yue 'er continued to look at the very hot auction outside with her cheeks in her hands. However, those people were fighting over it, but they were unable to pique her interest.
Yi Yue 'er's interest was piqued when the last item of the first round, the mysterious ancient scroll that even the appraisal experts of the Bright Moon Hotel couldn't identify, was brought out.
Wu Ji was also woken up by Huo Xiyu at this moment. Huo Xiyu was furious at Wu Ji's sleepy look."Can you be more spirited? That's what you want!”
"It's my run. If it's not mine, I can't snatch it.”" Let's start the auction," Wu Ji said calmly. However, he didn't expect Huo Xiyu to ring the bell in the room as soon as the host started the auction. She was so fast that Wu Ji was stunned.
"I…Huo Xiyu, are you crazy?”Wu Ji said gloomily.
Huo Xiyu was excited, but her eyes became watery when she heard Wu Ji's words.""I'm helping you snatch something, and you're still scolding me!”
"Uh, no, what I mean is that even if that thing is what we want, you can't be so anxious. We have the Japanese keeping an eye on us. Isn't this telling them that we really want that thing?”
Huo Xiyu was just worried and confused. After hearing Wu Ji's words, she looked embarrassed and said,""Anyway, don't worry about it. If you help me bid for the Supreme Immortal Grass, I will help you bid for that ancient scroll. Believe me, I will definitely film it for you!”
Wu Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Tanaka Ichiro rang the bell as expected and raised the price to 100,000 dollars!
