The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 1044 - 1040: You Did That on Purpose!

The distinguished guests in the private rooms, and those in the hall downstairs, didn’t enter at the same time. Only Tu Suxia and Jiang Qing knew who was upstairs.

Xin Lin noticed that except for Mu Chen, who had come down earlier, there was no movement in the other private rooms upstairs.

If memory serves right, there should be four private rooms upstairs at the Taoyao Pavilion.

At present, the remaining three distinguished guests have yet to speak.

As the price climbed to 1.5 million, the Spiritual Food Masters from several Spiritual Food Restaurants withdrew from the competition.

Unlike those sects, they couldn’t risk five or ten years of their restaurant’s profits, only for the customer flow from the Taoyao Pavilion. It might take five or ten years to break even.

Xin Lin glanced again at Mu Chen, who was sitting across from him.

Earlier, Mu Chen had caused quite a stir, but now he was laid-back, sipping tea.

He showed not the slightest intention of making a bid.

This guy, could he have come just to disrupt things, not to auction?

Xin Lin touched the silver notes he carried again.

Thirteen silver notes, each worth 100,000 taels, no more than that.

Xin Lin bit his lip and nodded toward Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing walked over.

"Master Jiang, I find myself in need of some assistance from you for a turnaround."

Xin Lin smiled awkwardly.

"As Lord Dominator has asked, I, Jiang, would never refuse. Is one million taels sufficient?"

Jiang Qing didn’t ask further. After receiving Xin Lin’s confirmation, he ordered someone to hand over one million taels in silver notes to her.

2.3 million taels was already the limit. Any more, there would be no more.

Xin Lin muttered.

Mu Chen glanced at Xin Lin and Jiang Qing, a subtle, unclear depth to his dark eyes.

"2.3 million taels!"

At that moment, Mu Chen suddenly lifted his hand, finally making his first bid.

But as soon as he spoke, Xin Lin could have strangled him.

Other guests watching the auction were equally stunned.

In one go, it jumped by 700,000 taels!

Tu Suxia almost laughed stupidly.

The resentment towards Mu Chen dissipated considerably.

"Third Young Master Mu has a keen eye."

Tu Suxia complimented aloud.

Jiang Qing’s face darkened slightly as he looked at Mu Chen.

"2.35 million taels."

Xin Lin finally lost patience and made a bid.

She calculated her Heaven-defying Value, still had a few hundred left, was going all out!

"2.5 million taels."

Without even a flinch, Mu Chen reported his price and took a sip of tea.

While drinking tea, his peripheral gaze swept over Xin Lin.

Xin Lin could distinctly see a smirk at the corner of his mouth. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

That was a smile of a plot succeeding, of schadenfreude.

A million curses stampeded across Xin Lin’s mind.

This guy did it on purpose!

He definitely did it on purpose.

Xin Lin seriously doubted that Mu Chen hadn’t spoken earlier because he was waiting for her bid?

But how could he know how much silver she had?

"2.5 million, going once."

Mu Chen’s bid brought immediate silence to the hall.

Tu Suxia looked at the three private rooms upstairs, intentionally raising his voice a bit.

Those up there were the real major players.

The girl who looked extraordinarily beautiful had an unpleasant expression after Mu San’s bid. She borrowed money again from Jiang Qing, seemingly strapped for cash.

"2.6 million taels. The Taoyao Pavilion is what our Huxuan Villa wants. If any of you could do our villa this favor, the manor owner would be immensely grateful."

At this moment, someone spoke deeply from the private room to the west.
