After Listening to What Inside My Mind the Female Leads Want to Flung Into My Harem-Chapter 89 – Do you dare to compete with me?
Today’s auction has attracted quite a crowd.
The items up for auction include not just antiques but also various rare treasures.
Things like centuries-old herbs are basic setups in feel-good novels.
As for finding hidden gems at auctions and villains bidding up prices, those are standard setups too, allowing Fortune's Chosen to show off and slap faces while collecting magical treasures.
Thinking about playing the role of the villain bidding up prices today, Tang Yu felt a bit excited inside.
Popping a pistachio into his mouth, Tang Yu glanced at Wenren Yage out of the corner of his eye.
She was chatting with Lu Junzhuo beside her, seemingly not having taken his previous words to heart.
[Sigh, damn it, all brainless teammates.]
[Still giggling with that Lu Junzhuo.]
[I’ve hinted so clearly, if it doesn’t work, I’ll have Old Master Jiang pay a visit to your dad later.]
Tang Yu sighed inwardly.
Wenren Yage was less than three meters away from Tang Yu.
Hearing Tang Yu’s inner thoughts, she was quite curious.
Why could she hear Young Master Tang’s thoughts?
Could it be that she was connected to him in some way?
But when she tried speaking in her mind just now, he didn’t react.
After about half an hour, most of the guests had arrived.
A little old man in a white Tang suit stepped onto the stage and began addressing the guests.
This little old man was the head of Wanbao Building in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area.
Wanbao Building was the largest auction house in China, and in the later stages, it naturally became one of Dragon King’s staunch allies, providing them with plenty of intelligence.
Once his speech concluded, the auction officially began.
The first item up for auction was Dong Qichang’s "Snow Scene at Guanshan".
"This is a painting by Ming Dynasty artist Dong Qichang..."
The little old man on stage began to eloquently explain the painting’s background, setting the starting bid at thirty million.
Quickly, bids came in one after another, and the painting was eventually sold for eighty million.
As a rich handsome guy, Tang Yu wasn’t particularly interested.
Spending millions on such things was just a waste.
[Art is something to look at, not something you can eat. Why spend so much money on it?]
[Art that can benefit humanity, now that’s good art.]
[Like the art films stored in my cloud drive.]
[Ahem, and they’re free, indirectly hitting the East Asian economy.]
While Tang Yu was internally mocking these arts, Wenren Yage couldn’t help but have a black line on her face.
Is this guy doing a stand-up routine in his head?
Noticing Wenren Yage’s sudden change in expression, Lu Junzhuo asked with a charming smile.
"What’s wrong, Yage, feeling unwell?"
Seeing the smile on Lu Junzhuo’s face, Wenren Yage really felt uncomfortable.
She shook her head and said, "Nothing."
"If you’re not feeling well, just tell me. Seeing you in discomfort makes my heart ache."
Lu Junzhuo pointed to his chest, his eyes full of tenderness.
Wenren Yage felt a wave of nausea.
Your heart aches, huh.
If I could beat you up right now, I’d definitely give you a stab to make you feel some real pain.
"Thanks."
With a cold response, Wenren Yage stopped talking.
Lu Junzhuo didn’t mind; women who admired the strong were born to be conquered by him!
Half an hour into the auction, the jade lion was finally brought onto the stage.
Seeing this jade lion, many people cast curious glances.
It seemed like it was their first time seeing such an antique?
"Dear guests, the next item up for auction is this white jade lion, an artwork whose creator I couldn’t identify due to my limited knowledge, but I believe its artistic value is quite high."
"So the starting bid is five million. Interested guests might want to give it a try; you might just find a hidden gem."
The little old man laughed after his introduction.
In all the years of hosting auctions, they’d never had anyone find a hidden gem.
They had the best antique appraisers in all of China.
They could recognize artifacts from any dynasty, and very few fakes could deceive them!
The guests all laughed as well.
But anyone attending this auction had a net worth of at least a billion.
To them, a few million wasn’t much.
So soon, people began to bid.
"I’ll bid five and a half million."
"Then I’ll go six million."
Hearing these bids, Lu Junzhuo, feeling a surge of excitement, didn’t rush to bid.
Either he wouldn’t bid, or he’d make a decisive offer.
Today, he was determined to get this jade lion!
Once he got the jade lion, he would immediately take the elixir!
This Nine Revolutions Pill was extremely effective, showing results in just three minutes!
After reaching the peak of the Mystical Realm, the beatings he’d taken in recent days made him feel like he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
With this Nine Revolutions Pill, breaking through would be as natural as when the water reaches, the channel forms!
After the breakthrough!
The first thing would be to disguise himself and assassinate that Tang kid!
When the price reached nine million, no one continued to bid.
They thought it looked nice and wanted to take it back for their collection.
But an overpriced collection wasn’t necessary.
Having money didn’t mean being brainless, throwing money away for fun.
"Nine million, going once, nine million, going twice..."
The little old man on stage was about to call out the third time when Lu Junzhuo finally spoke up, "Nine million and one hundred thousand!"
He realized this was the psychological limit for these people.

So he only added a hundred thousand more; anything more would be a waste.
As soon as he bid, everyone turned to look at him.
"Sir, the minimum bid increment is ten million, please bid again."
The little old man on stage felt a bit awkward.
Lu Junzhuo frowned, a bit displeased, and corrected himself, "Then nine million and ten thousand."
The person who had bid nine million before rolled his eyes but said nothing, giving up on continuing to bid.
"Ten million."
At this moment, Tang Yu suddenly called out.
As soon as he spoke, Lu Junzhuo immediately looked over at Tang Yu, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
This guy, is he naturally at odds with me?
This novel is available on ".
Both times he’d been humiliated since returning to China were related to him.
And now, even at an auction, he wanted to compete with him?
"Ten million, going once."
The little old man on stage was also a bit surprised; he knew this item was sent by Tang Yu.
Bidding on his own item, what was he trying to do?
But he didn’t mind; they took a commission based on the sale price, as long as they got the money.
"Eleven million."
Reluctantly, Lu Junzhuo had to continue bidding; he absolutely couldn’t let the jade lion fall into Tang Yu’s hands.
His eyes were filled with apprehension.
Could it be that this kid also discovered the secret within the jade lion?
"Twenty million."
"Twenty-one million."
"Fifty million."
When Tang Yu shouted out fifty million, the entire crowd was in an uproar.
Young Master Tang, isn’t this a bit too extravagant?
Spending so much money on a useless jade lion?
Seeing Tang Yu bidding so crazily, Lu Junzhuo was certain that Tang Yu must have discovered the secret within the jade lion.
His eyes turned red.
The opportunity he had his eyes on, how dare you try to snatch it?
