He’lian Lie was also interested by the conditions proposed by Si Nan. Lou Mu Yan must have figured out an exit if she dared to do this.
Lou Mu Yan looked at Si Nan and He’lian Lie with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile and said slowly: “Sure. When we finish our auction, we’ll sell yours, but I’ll take one tenth of your auctioned prices as venue fee and commission fee.”
“…” The corners of Si Nan’s lips twitched, “Didn’t Manager Jiang not charge venue fees?”
“That’s what I got with the Silver Ming Alliance Token. If you’re unreconciled, go to another venue for auction.” Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “Sell or not. There are many people who want to help, we’re not lacking you.”
“I’ll do it.” He’lian Lie decisively chose to make the deal. Earning each bit counts. Either way, one tenth wasn’t too high.
Si Nan finally saw the speed at which this woman flipped face, “Alright. One tenth it is.”
It wasn’t that he couldn’t bear the Spiritual Stones. He just wanted to tease her to begin with.
“Then why don’t you hurry up and go recruit customers? We only have two hours.” Lou Mu Yan turned around and looked at the several people fiercely, as if they were going to be beaten by her if they were any slower.
“…”
Under Lou Mu Yan’s sharp gaze, Si Nan and the others ran right out of the auction hall with their tails between their legs and ordered their subordinates to go and spread the news of the auction.
In only a bit, the Sword Masters in the entire central city knew that someone was holding a small auction in the auction hall of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the auction items were actually the identity jade tablets required for the semi-finals to enter the finals.
After hearing this news, many Sword Masters who didn’t enter the top five hundred with their points, or those who were in the top five hundred but hadn’t collected all seven colours of jade tablets, instantly caused a commotion and rushed to the auction hall to see whether this was true or not.
In the courtyard of an inn, a black-clothed man with outstanding temperament was playing a game of chess against himself.
“Fourth Prince, there’s a piece of news you’d definitely be interested in.” One of the elite team members hurried in and said.
Ji Xuan didn’t reply immediately, and after dropping the last black chess piece in his hand did he raise his head and ask: “What news?”
“Lou Mu Yan and Si Nan and the others are holding a small auction before the large auction at the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance’s hall and is about to start.” The man said with great interest.
“Holding a small auction? What do they want to do?” Ji Xuan took out a silk handkerchief and wiped his hands.
“Auctioning the identity jade tablets needed to enter the finals.” The man replied with a smile.
Ji Xuan raised an eyebrow, then after pondering, he chuckled: “She sure is bold.”
“Is she doing this to provoke the authority of the Organisers? Will she be punished?” A person who sat beside Ji Xuan asked.
“The Organisers have never stipulated that the trading of identity jade tablets wasn’t allowed. It can be considered taking advantage of a loophole, and at most it’ll be banned in the future, but she definitely made a profit thus time.” Ji Xuan himself was also a person who liked to calculate, but who knew that Lou Mu Yan was even more scheming than him.
Selling identity jade tablets was only a matter of earning not losing, without even needing to pay the cost price. How did she come up with it using her little brain?
“Let’s join in the fun.” Ji Xuan stood up and went out, and the others quickly followed. They were also curious about the auctioning of the identity jade tablets.
At the same time, Yan Jun and Mo Ling were negotiating a deal in the private room of the Stream Reflection Restaurant. Just as they finished, they heard a series of knocks on the door.
“What’s the matter?” Yan Jun let the person in and asked.
“Master, Lou Mu Yan, together with Si Nan and the others, are holding a small auction in the hall of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Shall we go and have a look?”
Lou Mu Yan cured Yan Jun’s illness and they were very grateful for it, so they were a little more concerned about her affairs.
“Auction? Just what wicked ideas has she come up with this time?” Yan Jun’s unparalleled face revealed slight interest.
Lou Mu Yan, that woman, really could cause situations wherever she went. Interesting!
Mo Ling was also very curious about what Lou Mu Yan wanted to do this time.
“She wants to auction off excess identity jade tablets, so she borrowed the auction venue of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance to hold a small auction.”
Mo Ling said in surprise: “The venues of the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance aren’t rented out. How did she do it?”
“I heard that she has a Ming Alliance Token, but I don’t know the specifies.” The person who reported it scratched his head and said.
“What? Ming Alliance Token?” Yan Jun was puzzled, then after drinking the Spiritual Wine in his cup, he suggested: “Mo Ling, let’s go take a look?”
He sure wanted to see what tricks Lou Mu Yan, that daring woman, was playing. It was the first time he heard that things like the identity jade tablets could also be auctioned.
“Sure!” Mo Ling was also somewhat interested in Lou Mu Yan.
The news that Lou Mu Yan was going to auction identity jade tablets was widely spread, and in only a moment, many people gathered in the auction hall.
Seeing that the time and number of people were about right, Lou Mu Yan walked up the auction stage with a light smile on her face, her figure elegant and pleasing to the eye.
“I believe you have heard the news and know what we are going to auction today.”
Seeing the fiery eyes of many people below, she said with a smile: “Exactly. What we are auctioning now is the key to entering the finals—identity jade tablets.”
With a beckon of her hand, Si Nan and Luo Li walked out with two plates, causing everyone below to be startled.
Lou Mu Yan lifted the red cloth on the tray and the identity jade tablets of seven different colours lined up on it instantly attracted the attention of those present.
“Young Miss Lou, how do you sell these jade tablets?” Someone below asked impatiently.
His points ranking had already advanced into the top five hundred, but unfortunately he was just missing a yellow jade tablet. He was originally rather anxious, wondering how to obtain a yellow jade tablet to keep his place in the finals, and didn’t expect that it could be bought with money now, so how could he not be excited.
“All seven colours of jade tablets have the same starting price. The auction will start with the purple jade tablets, with the starting price of ten thousand Spiritual Stones. The highest bidder wins.” Lou Mu Yan then announced the auction price following the person’s question.
“What? Ten thousand Spiritual Stones? What the— This is robbing people.”
“Isn’t this cheating us, ten thousand Spiritual Stones, so expensive.”
“…”
As soon as her voice fell, there was a commotion, basically all disagreeing with the price.
Even Yan Jun and Ji Xuan, who were sitting in the very back row, couldn’t help but hold their foreheads. Was she growing the habit of cheating foolish spenders now?
She even dared to ask for the starting price of ten thousand Spiritual Stones for one identity jade tablet. But why did they think that the final price of these jade tablets would definitely be unexpected.
Lou Mu Yan didn’t stop them immediately, and waited for those below to have discussed a while before casting a look at Si Nan, “Person who’s super gaudy, are you still going to step up or not?”
When Si Nan received the look in her eyes, he knew there was nothing good to come from it, but since he had something to request of her, and he was also interested in her, he could only toughen his skin and scolded, regardless of shame or not.
“What’re you all arguing about? Are you saying a place for the competition isn’t worth ten thousand Spiritual Stones? Get out if you don’t want to buy it.”
Si Nan’s voice carried the pressure of a Sword Sovereign. Although he had a suave smile on his face, but there was a coldness in his eyes which made those below instantly go quiet.
He was very satisfied with this effect and continued: “I believe that some people have already advanced into the top five hundred but haven’t yet collected all seven colours of jade tablets. There are only two days until the finals. It would be a pity to be eliminated like this.”
“Yeah!” The person who spoke before couldn’t resist but say in cooperation.
“So ten thousand Spiritual Stones for each identity jade tablet really isn’t expensive. Ten thousand Spiritual Stones can buy you entry into the finals. Where can you find such a deal?”
