Chapter 72: Fortune Dzi Bead

Ye Bufan chuckled, “Is the Luo family so kind? Why haven’t I noticed? Besides, I’m a man of my word; once I make a bid, I never go back on it. Since I’ve bid, I won’t withdraw.”

Qin Chuchu quickly advised, “Xiaofan, this isn’t the time for a spat. Quickly listen to Luo Da Shao and withdraw your bid.”

In her view, Ye Bufan’s constant opposition to Luo Wentao was entirely due to a spat, and it must have something to do with her.

Thinking of this, a wave of sweetness filled her heart. It seemed this man still cared about her and was already getting jealous for her sake.

Ye Bufan said, “I’m not having a spat, nor will I withdraw my bid. Only a fool wouldn’t buy such a cheap property.”

Luo Wentao angrily retorted, “Cheap? Do you think everyone else is a fool? Only you know it’s cheap? This property is very ominous. Our Luo family is taking it over with Great Master Xuanji’s help to resolve it. What do you have?”

“I have money! Anyway, I won so much money at the casino just now, it’s useless just sitting in my pocket. Might as well buy a property to play with at home.

I’m just a warm-hearted person. Didn’t Luo Da Shao just say it? Consider it helping Mr. Guan.”

“You…”

Luo Wentao’s eyes blazed with fury. So this guy was spending his own money without a care.

Qin Chuchu said, “Xiaofan, you really can’t buy this land. It’s too ominous…”

Ye Bufan stopped Qin Chuchu, who was still trying to dissuade him, and said with a playful smile, “Don’t worry. Since ancient times, evil cannot suppress righteousness. I am full of righteousness and have good luck. Even the most ominous property can be suppressed.”

“Alright then, let’s see how long your good luck can last!”

Luo Wentao snorted coldly, sat back down, and no longer looked at Ye Bufan.

Of course, he wouldn’t continue bidding. The Luo family had put so much effort into this, their goal was to acquire this community from Guan Dongping at a low price.

Moreover, in his opinion, the money in Ye Bufan’s hand was also his. If they bid against each other, it would ultimately benefit Guan Dongping.

In a few hours, Great Master Xuanji would emerge from seclusion. At that time, both the property and the money would revert to the Luo family’s possession.

Seeing Luo Wentao withdraw, the Auctioneer went through the motions and finally brought down the hammer, declaring the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community as Ye Bufan’s property.

Guan Dongping signed the property transfer contract and handed it to Ye Bufan: “Little brother, thank you for your help.”

“You sell, I buy. That’s not really helping.” Ye Bufan had a good impression of Guan Dongping and said, “Brother Guan, don’t leave yet. Let’s chat after the auction ends.

“Hmm, I won’t leave. Later, I also want to bid on that hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl). My luck has been too bad recently, I need to turn it around.”

Guan Dongping finished speaking and returned to his seat.

Qin Chuchu glanced at the contract in Ye Bufan’s hand and said in annoyance, “Xiaofan, you’re really too impulsive. Even if that money was won, you shouldn’t spend it like this.

Now that you’ve taken possession of the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community, it will be difficult to sell it again.”

Luo Wentao snorted coldly, “When you want to sell it again, our Luo family won’t even take it for 10 million.”

Ye Bufan said disdainfully, “10 million? At that time, you won’t even be able to buy one of my houses there.”

Qin Chuchu originally thought Ye Bufan was having a spat with Luo Wentao, but she didn’t know that in the near future, the houses in the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community would indeed be worth that price, with the cheapest starting at over 10 million.

Luo Wentao said nothing more, but the hatred in his heart grew stronger. He now only wished for Great Master Xuanji to emerge from seclusion soon and directly kill this guy.

The rest of the auction proceeded uneventfully, with one antique after another being acquired by other wealthy merchants. Soon, it was time for the final压轴 auction item, the legendary hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl) personally crafted by Great Master Xuanji.

In fact, many people today came specifically for this pearl, hoping to bid on it to improve their fortune.

Towards the end of the auction, everyone grew excited, eager to see this rare celestial pearl.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a waiter walked to the stage carrying a tray covered with a red cloth. Although the item inside couldn’t be seen, everyone knew it was the treasure, the hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl).

As the auction reached this point, the Auctioneer also grew excited and said to the audience, “Everyone, you don’t need me to tell you what the next item is.

I won’t say anything about Great Master Xuanji; everyone knows his revered reputation.

This hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl) is a treasure that Great Master Xuanji spent three years personally crafting. Whoever takes it home will be able to strengthen their body, improve their luck, officials will be promoted, and businessmen will rake in money daily…”

She wanted to say more, but the guests below the stage were already impatient. A large胖子 in the front row shouted, “Alright, no more talk! Quickly let us see the true face of this precious pearl, we can’t wait any longer.”

“Alright then, let everyone see the treasure personally crafted by Great Master Xuanji.”

The Auctioneer was very pleased with the current effect. She reached out and removed the red cloth from the tray. In that moment, a dazzling pearl appeared before everyone.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

In an instant, a dazzling pearl appeared before everyone.

This pearl was about the size of an egg yolk, perfectly round, and continuously radiated a dazzling glow.

“Oh my god, this is the hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl), it’s absolutely beautiful…”

“No matter the price, I’m going to bid for it…”

“I want this pearl. Although it’s a bit expensive, with it, I’ll have good luck, and with good luck, I can earn more money…”

Seeing the excited audience, the Auctioneer continued, “Since everyone has seen the hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl), let’s proceed with the auction. The starting bid is 10 million, with each bid not less than 1 million. Bidding starts now!”

“15 million…”

“20 million…”

“25 million…”

After the bidding for the hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl) began, the price soared. Everyone raised their bid paddles and called out prices, and within a few minutes, it had already reached 50 million.

It should be noted that up until this point in the auction, most of the items had sold for 1 million. Although the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community sold for 150 million, that was a loss-making sale and completely different from other items.

Now, a single pearl was being bid up to 50 million, showing everyone’s reverence for Great Master Xuanji.

At this moment, Ye Bufan had a clear view of the pearl on the stage, and a cold smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This was not some so-called hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl) at all, but just an ordinary pearl. The claim that Great Master Xuanji painstakingly crafted it for three years was all a trick to deceive people.

The reason it looked so dazzling was because it had some small Spells that made it glow.

This kind of Spell had no offensive power whatsoever, and normally no Cultivator would even bother to learn it. Now, it was placed on a pearl and put up for sale, the purpose being to swindle these people out of their money.

After all, luck is something no one can predict. If you take it home and your luck improves, then the hongyun tianzhu (good fortune celestial pearl) is useful. If your luck doesn’t improve, those Great Masters will naturally come up with a whole bunch of explanations for you.

He could see through it, but others couldn’t.

Qin Chuchu, beside him, was full of excitement. At this moment, she finally made her move, raising her bid paddle and shouting, “I bid 60 million!”

That胖子 showed no weakness, “I bid 70 million!”

“80 million!”

The bid came from Guan Dongping, who had been silent all along. At this moment, he also joined the bidding.
