The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 640: Being Mocked

Liu Longwei hid behind Bai Xifeng and complained to Liu Longwei. "Wifey... Wifey... My brother-in-law wants to chase me out. I don’t want to. I want to stay with you."

"Who is your brother-in-law?" Bai Tingfeng shouted.

"Fengfeng is my wife. You are Fengfeng’s older brother. Of course, you are my brother-in-law. Am I right, Wifey?" Liu Longwei asked Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng was surprised when Liu Longwei was committed to acting like a fool. Did he have no sense of shame?

"Father, why don’t you say something about this?" Bai Tingfeng turned to Bai Xiang.

Bai Xiang glared at Liu Longwei, who held his treasure’s hand.

"You are not married yet. So, distance yourself from my daughter." Bai Xiang said.

"But I’m already engaged to Fengfeng. I am going to be his husband. So..." Liu Longwei wanted to say more, but Bai Xiang cut him off.

"Engagement could be broken." Bai Xiang said.

Liu Longwei looked like he was about to cry. "Wifey, I don’t want to be separated from you. You are my wife."

Bai Xifeng rubbed her temples. She suddenly regretted coming to this auction. It would have been better if she had skipped it and slept at home. She had been studying runes yesterday and was feeling a little sleepy.

"Can you shut up?" Bai Xifeng said.

This sentence made everyone silent. Bai Xifeng yawned.

"Wifey, are you sleepy?" Liu Longwei said.

"Hmm..." Bai Xifeng responded.

"Then, Xixi, you should take a nap first." Bai Xiang said.

"Yes. Judging from the situation, they will probably start in one hour at most." Bai Tingfeng said.

"I want to bid for this weapon. Make sure to wake me up when the time comes." Bai Xifeng said while pointing her finger at the list on the pamphlet that they received at the entrance.

"Yes." Bai Xiang nodded.

Bai Xifeng took out a blanket. She adjusted her posture and covered her body with the blanket. Once she closed her eyes, she instantly fell asleep.

The room became silent. No one dared to talk, afraid that when they were talking, they might disturb Bai Xifeng’s sleep. Not long after that, the door to their door had been knocked on.

Liu Longwei stood up and opened the door. Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng also looked outside. They saw staff bringing some tea and refreshments.

"All of our black guests will be served with some refreshment and tea. If you want more, please push the button." The staff pointed at the button next to the door.

The staff left after that.

"This is for Fengfeng. She likes to eat. She can eat when she wakes up." Liu Longwei said.

The auction began. Bai Xifeng was still sleeping despite people fiercely bidding for the items that they liked.

"Wifey... Wifey... Wake up." Liu Longwei gently tapped on Bai Xifeng’s hand while softly calling wifey.

Bai Xifeng woke up. She was confused for a moment. She looked around. She suddenly remembered. She was at the Shanghai Pavilion, participating in the auction.

"Is the item’s turn?" Bai Xifeng asked and yawned the next second.

"It is the next turn. You can be ready." Bai Tingfeng said.

Liu Longwei brought the tea and refreshments in front of Bai Xifeng.

"Wifey, eat this cake." Liu Longwei placed the cake on the table in front of Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng instantly smiled as she looked at the cake. Indeed, Liu Longwei knew Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng took the cake and started to eat it. She glanced at the stage where people were calling for the bid.

The next item was the item that Bai Xifeng wanted to bid on. It was Bingxian Guqin. It was not for her own use. But for Tian Ning. That girl was into the music. She could use this guqin to her advantage.

"Xixi wants this guqin?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Not for myself. But for my subordinate, Tian Ning. She likes music. She could play for it and use it as her weapon." Bai Xifeng grinned.

’Tian Ning... Oh, that girl.’ Bai Xiang remembered that girl. That girl rode Cerberus the first time he saw her. At first, he thought she was Bai Xifeng since it was Cerberus. Cerberus would not allow others to ride on him.

The presenter introduced the Bingxian Guqin to the audience. The starting price was 100,000 taels. The people started to bid.

"Xixi, why are you not starting to bid? Don’t you say that you want it?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"No need to start now. The price will increase fast. Let’s wait until the people bidding for it decrease." Bai Xifeng said.

Bai Xifeng was waiting until only less from 10 people bid for the Bingxian Guqin. The price right now is 295,000 taels. She immediately straightened her back and looked at the stage.

When the price reached 300,000 taels, Bai Xifeng started to join the bid. "300,001." She shouted.

Everyone was silent for a moment before laughing.

"What? Just adding 1 taels. If you don’t have any money, don’t buy it."

"Yeah... Don’t bother bidding."

Bai Tingfeng was furious when he heard others mocking his sister. Those people did not know that the person who added one taels to the bidding was the precious daughter of General Bai. If they knew about that, they would not dare to mock her.

Another person shouted 350,00 taels. Bai Xifeng instantly shouted the price, adding one tael to the previous price.
