Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi both nodded, appearing to grasp the situation while also being a bit puzzled.
In the end, a hundred Wu Shen Fruits were sold at the high price of a hundred Xuanling Stones to the Tang family head.
If it were on an ordinary day, everyone would definitely think he was a big spender.
But at this moment, everyone looked at him with envy.
The Tang family head, under the admiring gaze of everyone, couldn’t help but smile.
He had already figured it out. When Miss Gu’s Grade Nine Spirit Pill came up later, the compet.i.tion would surely intensify. He might as well make a big bet on this one.
Sure enough, everyone held back, not willing to blindly raise the price for a plate of Wu Shen Fruits without thinking.
In any case, his trip was not in vain.
After the Wu Shen Fruits were auctioned off, the next item was a sacred-grade artifact, and it was an attack-type sacred-grade artifact.
The attack-type sacred-grade artifacts were far more valuable than defensive ones. Each sacred-grade artifact that appeared could sell for a sky-high price.
This time, the item up for auction was a sword called the “Azure Wave Sword,” a water-element sword. When used, the sword qi surged like rolling waves, not only beautiful but also powerful.
Everyone had known earlier that this sacred-grade artifact was donated by the fiance of the Guardian Princess, Young Master Lan. They remained relatively calm.
However, when the Azure Wave Sword was displayed, the entire audience couldn’t help but gasp.
The sword measured approximately four feet in length and an inch in width. Its entire blade was crystal-clear, with a captivating ice-blue transparency. The hilt, crafted from white material, featured intricate dragon patterns and held a brilliant green Sea Spirit Pearl.
“What a beautiful sword!”
“Such a powerful surge of arcane power! It truly deserves to be a sacred-grade artifact!”
“This excellent sword could be the treasure of a sect. 1 didn’t expect its owner to donate it. How generous!”
“Generous is an understatement; this person must be wealthy! Such a fine sacred-grade artifact, don’t think anyone can just donate it. If they were to be willing to donate, it means it won’t hurt them much!”
“I now believe that Young Master Lan is a hidden powerhouse!”
“So do l!”
“Could it be a private gift from the Guardian Princess to Young Master Lan?”
Someone weakly speculated.
Immediately, others refuted the idea.
Nevertheless, some still harbored that suspicion.
After the auctioneer introduced the origin of the Azure Wave Sword, he added, “Young Master Lan, the owner of the Azure Wave Sword, has stated that all the proceeds from the auction of this sword will go to the name of the Guardian Princess. He must have deep feelings for her!”
The auctioneer was from the Lushi Auction House, and he was friends with Young Master Lu and Gu Qingluan. Naturally, he knew how to appreciate a good opportunity and appropriately praised Feng Tianlan.
Gu Qingluan was aware that Feng Tianlan had donated a sacred-grade artifact, but it was her first time seeing the Azure Wave Sword. She only heard Feng Tianlan mention it briefly, saying it was prepared by Jing Feng.
She didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, thinking it was nothing important.
Little did she expect that he would allocate the proceeds from the auction to her name.
She blinked in surprise and then shook her head in resignation, muttering, “This guy…”
Her lips couldn’t help but curl into a slight smile.
Gu Xiaonan exchanged a glance with Feng Yuanxi. Then, when Gu Qingluan wasn’t paying attention, he lowered his voice and asked, “Didn’t you say Dad used to hate women the most? How does he know these tricks to make women happy?”
Why hadn’t he thought of this move?
If he had known, he would have donated a few treasures to the auction and allocated the proceeds in his mother’s name.
It was too late to do it now.
His dad was so crafty!
Feng Yuanxi was speechless.
Could he admit that he didn’t know?
It was true that his dad used to hate women the most in the past, but now, in order to please his mother, he seemed to have no limits..
