Chapter 73: The Jade Bead Loses its Color
.""Three days"The woman in bed once again displayed an expression of astonishment. Her illness had been diagnosed by countless renowned physicians previously, all of whom concluded that it was incurab...80 million!
After the price was announced, a brief silence fell over the room.
It is obvious that the auction price of the auspicious heavenly bead has exceeded the budget of most people. Although these people would love to take the treasure home, their pockets don't allow it.
The overweight man who had been shouting incessantly hesitated for a moment before finally putting down the bid card in his hand and ceasing to raise the price.
Qin ChuChu, however, showed no intention of giving up at all. She was about to raise her card again for another bid when Ye Bufan stopped her and said, "ChuChu, forget it. Let's not bid on this anymore."
"Why This is the Auspicious Heaven Pearl My father told me to bring it back no matter what."
Qin Chuchu came here today for the Hongyun Heavenly Orb, and she certainly wouldn't give up easily.
"This is just an ordinary bead, not even worth 800 yuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Wentuo next to him stood up abruptly and angrily rebuked: “Kid, what do you know”
Do you know that this was made by Master Xuanji A master like him is beyond your ability to question, as just an ordinary person!
Ye Bufan was just about to speak when Qin Chuchu hurriedly stopped him: "Alright, Xiaofan, don't say any more. No matter what, I must bring this Hongyun Tianzhu back."
Having said that, she raised her placard again without hesitation: “I bid 90 million.”
Although others also heard Ye Bufan's words, they all thought of him as an arrogant and conceited boy, and no one believed him.
Guan Dongping raised the numbered sign in his hand without hesitation: "100 million yuan."
He didn't believe in things like feng shui before, but recently he's been having bad luck, especially with a string of incidents happening in the Peach Blossom Spring community. This made him quickly change his mind.
Now he desperately wants to rely on this lucky heavenly pearl to change his fortune, which is also the reason why he brought out the Paradise of Seclusion for auction today.
"That..."
Qin Chuchu was dumbfounded. Although she was determined to get the Hongyun Tianzhu, it seemed that the Qin family had underestimated its value. They had only prepared 100 million yuan beforehand, which was clearly not enough now.
Although the Qin family is a hundred-billion-dollar conglomerate, they recently had a large investment that used up their working capital. The rest of the funds have not yet flowed back, so they don't have much money on hand.
When Ye Bufan saw that she had no money, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, she has a good relationship with Qin Chuchu and sincerely doesn't want her to spend a lot of money on a junk item.
Qin Chu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't bear to give up this dazzling pearl. She turned to Ye Bufan and said, "Xiaofan, you still have money in your hands, right Can you lend me the remaining one hundred million I'll pay you back within a week."
Ye Bufan said, "Chu Chu, listen to my advice, this bead is worthless at all. Don't buy it anymore, or you will regret it."
Luo Wentuo sneered, "Chu Chu, you're too stingy with this boyfriend of yours. If I were you, I'd definitely film it and send it to you."
He had long taken a disliking to Ye Bufan and naturally wouldn't miss an opportunity to strike down his opponent.
Qin Chuchu also felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart, and said again: "Xiaofan, just lend me the money, and I will pay you interest."
Yè Búfán said: "Chǔchǔ, how can you not understand The money in my hand is nothing to me even if I give it to you, but this pearl is fake, you absolutely can't buy it."
Upon hearing this, Luo Wentao immediately stood up and addressed the crowd: "Did you all hear that This ignorant boy dares to slander Master Xuanji and claim that the treasures he made are fake. Do you believe him"
We don't believe it, this kid is just talking nonsense.
"He's too stingy, he doesn't want to lend Ms. Qin any money, he had to come up with such a lame excuse…"
"Even if you lie, find a better excuse. Grandmaster Xuangji is not someone an ordinary person like you can question..."
Luo Wentao beamed with pride and continued, "As everyone knows, the Hongyun Sky Pearl was commissioned by Grandmaster Xuanji to our Luo family for auction. Our Luo family guarantees its authenticity with our reputation. No matter the price, buying it back is a worthwhile investment."
"Now, the auctioneer on stage calls out again: “Gentlemen, Mr. Guan has bid 100 million yuan! Are there any more bids If not, the Hongyun Tianzhu will belong to Mr. Guan!” "
Qin Chuchu's face became increasingly ugly, and she said again, "Xiaofan, are you going to lend it or not"
She felt a bit uncomfortable. Ye Bufan had won all this money from the casino, and now he wouldn't even lend her some. It seemed she didn't hold much importance in his heart.
Lu Wentao's mouth curled into a sneer. Since Qin Chuchu was already dissatisfied with this kid, it wouldn't be long before she returned to his arms.
Ye Bufan shook his head slightly, secretly pinched a spell with his right hand, and then volleyed it towards the Hongyun Tianzhu on the stage.
Although it was a distance away from the front line, breaking that shoddy spell wouldn't be a challenge for a master mage.
After finishing all of that, he said: "Take a look at that thing. Are you still sure you want to buy it If you do, I'll send you the money."
Qin Chuchu turned her head and looked towards the stage. The Honghun Tianzhu, which had been glittering in the hands of the waiter moments ago, was now completely devoid of its luster, just an ordinary white jade bead.
As a member of a jewelry family, she naturally knew what this was. Without the shine to cover it up, it was just an ordinary jade bead. If you took it outside, it probably wouldn't sell for even a few hundred dollars.
At this moment, she broke out in a cold sweat. If Qin Corporation's limited liquid funds were used to buy such a thing, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“What… what on earth is going on”
"I told you a long time ago that this thing was fake. It wasn't some auspicious pearl of fortune at all, just a trick."
At this moment, others also noticed the change in the Hongyun Tianzhu, and the scene immediately became a frenzy.
"What's going on Why has the Auspicious Fortune Orb changed Where is its radiance from before"
"Isn't this just an ordinary bead Can it really improve someone's fortune"
"That's terrifying, luckily I didn't have money right now. If I had bought this thing at a high price, I might just jump off a building..."
Qin Chu understood what had happened. She whispered to Ye Bufan, "Xiao Fan, I misunderstood you just now, I'm sorry!"
Luo Wentao was stunned by everything before him. Although he knew that the Hongyun Heavenly Bead was fake, it was made by Master Xuanji. How could it suddenly become ineffective
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, he hurriedly called out: "Everyone, please don't believe that boy's ramblings! This Hongyun Tianzhu was made by Master Xuanji himself, it's definitely genuine!"
Now everyone present hesitated again. After all, Master Xuangji's reputation was too great, and over the years he had become deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people.
Guan Dongping stood there hesitating, not knowing whether he should buy it or not.
Ye Bufan said, "Luo Shao, are you still denying it now I don't know if this thing was made by Master Xuanji, but I do know that it's definitely a fake pearl and won't bring anyone any luck."h Ye Bufan's alchemy skills, refining a Huaxing Pill wasn't too difficult. After about half an hour, a rich aroma of medicinal fragrance wafted out, filling the entire cave.Finally, with a wave of his...
