Chapter 392: Setting a Trap

One million!

The bid for the Grade Four Spirit Restoring Pill reached one million.

For a Grade Four Medicinal Pill, this price far exceeded its actual value.

Inside the venue, everyone looked at Xiao Fan with suspicious and surprised eyes. Good heavens…

A mere Tongtian Realm, yet he was actually this wealthy?

As for saying the Jixian Sect wanted to buy it?

They absolutely didn't believe it. How could a great power lack Medicinal Pills?

Wu Qingyan looked at Xiao Fan, a meaningful smile appearing at the corners of her mouth as she sized him up.

She naturally remembered Xiao Fan; back then, she only felt he was very interesting and had great potential, so she wanted to help him.

But she never imagined that the "trash" everyone talked about in that small city of Jingchuan a few months ago would become so interesting now.

Moreover, this man was also a live-in son-in-law…

If word got out, probably no one would believe it.

As the organizer, the Treasure Pavilion was certainly happy to see both parties continuously raising their bids in competition during the auction.

Meanwhile, Diao Zhen was fuming, his whole body trembling…

He glared at Xiao Fan with a murderous gaze, only to find the latter giving him a provocative smile…

That smile seemed to say: "Come on, raise the bid, you idiot…"

"Jixian Sect, one million once…"

The countdown began…

The middle-aged man beside Diao Zhen glanced at his son and let out a breath…

He naturally didn't want to offend the Jixian Sect, even if the other party was just a single Disciple of the sect.

The other party was still young and had countless possibilities; there was no guarantee he wouldn't grow powerful in the future.

Seeing that his son hadn't lost his mind due to anger and wasn't blindly raising the price, the middle-aged man felt somewhat relieved…

My son has grown up…

But immediately after, the middle-aged man's pupils constricted, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger…

"One and a half million!!"

Beside him, Diao Zhen spoke up viciously, directly raising the bid by five hundred thousand!

One should know that under normal circumstances, this Grade Four Spirit Restoring Pill would only cost around five hundred thousand on the market…

How was Diao Zhen keeping his sanity…

He had just been too busy glaring at Xiao Fan and forgot to bid…

He had already labeled Xiao Fan as his love rival, and the primary one at that!

This kind of person deserved to die!

How could he back down in front of his fiancée?

What a joke…

He was the Diao Family's only heir, their "precious calf"…

Xiao Fan smiled, feeling incredibly smug inside; at this moment, he even wanted to laugh out loud.

However, he tried his best to hold it in and didn't let himself laugh…

Otherwise, how could he continue to trap Diao Zhen?

Getting revenge once wasn't enough; he had to retaliate several more times.

He circulated his Qi, forcing his face to turn red, and looked at Diao Zhen with eyes full of resentment.

His gaze revealed unwillingness, humiliation turning into rage, and a touch of helplessness.

Nangong Lingxuan glanced at Xiao Fan…

She had never seen this expression on Xiao Fan's face before. Over just a Grade Four Spirit Restoring Pill?

She wouldn't believe Xiao Fan would be like this even if she were beaten to death.

Nangong Lingxuan followed Xiao Fan's gaze and saw that "precious calf" Diao Zhen wearing a smug smile, while his father's face beside him was dark…

She immediately understood something and tried her best to hold back her laughter.

As for Hu Rui on the other side…

She saw through Xiao Fan's intentions at a glance, knowing this guy was definitely setting a trap for someone…

This group of Jixian Sect Disciples also understood Xiao Fan and knew he certainly wasn't up to any good.

Especially the two Elders, Warrior Feng and Elder Shi Pin.

If this fellow Xiao Fan wanted Grade Four Medicinal Pills…

He only needed to find those two old fogies, Kong Ping and Jiang Yushan; they would probably be more than eager for Xiao Fan to ask them…

Earlier, when they heard Xiao Fan bidding for the Grade Four Medicinal Pill, they originally wanted to stop him, but then the Diao Family's "precious calf"…

Did not disappoint…

Xiao Fan fell silent, only looking at Diao Zhen with a resentful gaze.

Diao Zhen felt great, and the uninformed crowd in the venue also noticed this scene…

Most of them believed Diao Zhen had won, using his financial power to suppress this Disciple of the Jixian Sect…

Seeing Xiao Fan's resentful gaze, many people in the venue could empathize with his feeling of powerlessness and humiliation…

"Diao Family, one and a half million, once…"

"One and a half million, twice…"

"One and a half million, three times…"

The countdown ended, and this Grade Four Spirit Restoring Pill finally went to Diao Zhen.

Diao Zhen certainly felt a bit of a sting in his pocket, but being able to strike a blow against his primary love rival made him feel so good that he didn't care about the extra million he spent.

After all, money couldn't buy his happiness…

Beside him, Diao Zhen's father was angry but helpless; his son had already finished raising the bid, so what could he do?

Besides, he instinctively felt annoyed upon seeing Xiao Fan as well.

After all, Nangong Lingxuan was to be the Diao Family's daughter-in-law in the future…

He let out a sigh and said nothing.

Spending an extra million, so be it…

After all, the other party was just a kid in the Tongtian Realm; he couldn't do anything to the Diao Family.

Xiao Fan maintained his resentful expression continuously, without the slightest intention of relaxing…

The auction continued…

None of the Four Great Forces spoke up to bid—Thunder Fire Sect's Feng Wuxiu, Ziyun Cave Heaven's Mo Xiaoyao, and Piaomiao Immortal Palace's Gan Ning and the remaining Elder.

They were all resting with their eyes closed, looking down on the trifles being auctioned next.

Only Warrior Feng and Elder Shi Pin in the front row of the Jixian Sect narrowed their eyes…

Waiting for the Diao Family to bid…

Knowing there would surely be a good show to watch…

Even Elder Yin Su, who didn't know Xiao Fan well, couldn't help but feel curious seeing the other two's expressions and joined them in anticipation.

"The next item for auction is a mount with the strength of the Tongtian Realm Great Perfection, the Lightning Yellow Dragon Steed…"
