“Mm-hmm!” Xiaonan nodded, and the little white fox on his lap also breathed a sigh of relief.
It was Xiaobai who told him that this hairpin was extraordinary, which prompted him to bid for it.
They had to wait until the auction ended to collect the items they had won. Gu Xiaonan suppressed his excitement and continued watching the auction.
Gu Qingluan had no idea what her son truly thought. In her eyes, as long as he liked it, she didn’t mind how much money he spent.
People around couldn’t help but sigh in amazement. The Guardian Princess really doted on her child. She spent three Xuanling Crystal Hearts to purchase such an inconspicuous hairpin.
The auction continued.
One by one, people bid on various items, with some even winning a dozen or more.
Gu Qingluan and her son also won five items.
After various items were auctioned off, the next one was the Wu Shen Fruit donated by Gu Qingluan.
The auctioneer introduced the origin and effects of the Wu Shen Fruit.
Tang Shijun was also present at the auction. She said to her father, the Tang family head, “Dad, when the time comes, you must bid aggressively! Others may not know the value of Wu Shen Fruit, but we do. Even if we didn’t need to support Qingluan, we absolutely can’t let such a good spiritual fruit go.”
The Tang family head stroked his beard and replied, “I know, I know. How many times have you told me? 1 remember, 1 won’t forget.”
Even if it weren’t to support Gu Qingluan, he wouldn’t miss out on such a valuable item.
As a result, as soon as the auctioneer announced the start of bidding, voices from various corners of the auction hall simultaneously shouted their offers. “100,000 taels of gold!”
“I’ll offer 200,000!”
“1 million taels of gold!”
The starting price was 12,000 taels of gold.
But as soon as people started bidding, the price soared to a hundred times the starting price.
The Tang family head looked somewhat puzzled as he glanced at Tang Shijun.
This was completely different from what they imagined.
They thought that since most people hadn’t seen Wu Shen Fruit before, the bids would be cautious. However, the prices shot up to an unexpected level right from the beginning.
It was Tang Shijun who quickly regained her composure and shouted, “Five Xuanling Stones!”
Afterward, she tugged at her father’s sleeve and said, “Dad, stay calm! You’re the head of the Tang family; you can’t panic in a situation like this!”
While the start was a bit surprising, they were all experienced individuals who had seen the world. They couldn’t let themselves be intimidated by such a small scene.
The head of the Tang family cleared his throat and gave his daughter a stern look. “Do you even need to say that? Your father has seen all sorts of storms and would never be frightened by such a small scene.”
The Tang family head cleared his throat and then calmly raised his voice, “Ten Xuanling Stones.”
“Wow! Ten Xuanling Stones! Truly worthy of the Tang family head, what a generous bid!”
“Ten Xuanling Stones, equivalent to ten million taels of gold, to buy a hundred spiritual fruits. That’s truly extravagant!”
However, someone immediately raised their bid, “Eleven Xuanling Stones!”
The Tang family head calmly added, “Twenty Xuanling Stones!”
Everyone was quite surprised. Was the Tang family head doing this to show respect to the Guardian Princess, or was it merely to demonstrate his generosity?
Gu Qingluan was sitting not far from them.
Xiaonan couldn’t help but mutter, “Mother, I didn’t know Wu Shen Fruit was so valuable. Have we been eating so much money all this while?”
Feng Yuanxi also looked in Gu Qingluan’s direction.
Because they had many Wu Shen Fruit trees in the back mountains, they never lacked fresh spiritual fruits.
They ate spiritual fruits like ordinary fruits, and now, seeing everyone bidding so enthusiastically for a hundred Wu Shen Fruits at such a high price, they suddenly felt that they were too extravagant.
Gu Qingluan smiled and said, “It’s alright. We can always earn more money, so you can eat as much as you want. However, everyone’s enthusiasm in bidding is mainly to contribute to charity. The value can’t be measured in terms of gold or Xuanling Stones..”
