Ling Mo Xie smiled and said, "Alright, the Auction has begun! No need to discuss this anymore, I believe in you all!"
"Thank you, Seventh Brother!" Xiao Ba looked at Ling Mo Xie with gratitude, then glanced at the Spring Breeze Transformation Pill in his hand and spoke.
Ling Mo Xie smiled again and fell silent. Old Eight and the others also discreetly turned their attention to the Light Screen in the center of the room, which was no longer displaying the item list but instead projecting the scene of the Hall on the first floor.
A White-Haired Old Man stood on a high platform, introducing the first item. As he spoke, a box appeared on the Light Screen, showcasing the item to those in the VIP Room, while those in the Hall could only catch a distant glimpse.
Since Ling Mo Xie had many items for sale, several of them were his own. He curled his lips and closed his eyes to rest while listening to the sounds coming from the Light Screen.
"Wow! Look at that long knife; it's so cool! And it's a High-Quality Yellow Rank! No wonder it's the Grand Auction House; this is only the first few items, and already we have a High-Quality Yellow Rank Spirit Weapon!" Fourth Brother pointed at the long knife displayed on the Light Screen and said to Second Brother and Old Eight beside him.
Old Eight curled his lip and said, "But can you afford it? Just look at it with envy! What's there to get excited about?"
"The highest bid is already eight thousand Spirit Stones!" Second Brother chimed in with a sarcastic tone.
Fourth Brother immediately drooped his head and sighed, "If I hadn't bought that Elixir last month and that mid-grade Yellow Rank Curved Blade before that, I could still afford it."
"Hehe!" Ling Mo Xie chuckled lightly, opened his eyes to look at the long knife on the Light Screen, and said, "If you really like it, just place your bid!"
"Are you willing to lend me money? Don't worry; when next month's Spirit Stones are distributed, I'll pay you back!" Fourth Brother exclaimed excitedly at Ling Mo Xie, his eyes sparkling as if filled with stars.
Ling Mo Xie smiled but didn't explain that it was actually his item being auctioned. He told Fourth Brother, "Hurry up and place your bid! Otherwise, someone else will snatch it away."
"Okay!" Ling Lao Si quickly nodded and shouted into the Light Screen's Microphone, "I bid fifteen thousand!"
At this moment, several others were also bidding for the knife, but they were all from the Hall. Upon hearing someone from the Second Floor speak, they quickly asked those around them, "Who is that? What kind of person would even be interested in a Yellow Rank long knife?"
"Hey, let me tell you! In VIP Room Three today seems to be Ling Family's Ling Mo Xie." A person who had been watching outside VIP Room Three said proudly. What others didn't know was something he was aware of; this gave him a sense of superiority!
"Turns out it's a junior from the Ling Family! If it were his elders, I might give them some face. Even though the Ling Family is one of the three Big Families in Skywind City, what’s there to fear from a third-generation junior?" The person who heard the situation said nonchalantly and continued to raise the bid.
Before long, the price of the long knife reached thirty thousand Spirit Stones. Ling Lao Si's hand trembled as he looked at Ling Mo Xie. Ling Mo Xie smiled helplessly; after all, he was a disciple of the Ling Family! Why was he so timid?
"Just keep bidding! I'm not short on this thirty thousand Spirit Stones!"
Only then did Ling Lao Si turn around and continue to bid.
Before long, the price of the long knife actually exceeded its own value. Ling Lao Si was about to give up, but it was Ling Mo Xie who encouraged him to keep going. The hall was already in an uproar; those masters who usually appeared gentlemanly were now chattering like housewives haggling in the market.
"This Ling Mo Xie is really a fool! This knife is nowhere near worth this many Spirit Stones! Can't he see that he's being played?"
"Exactly! I heard his current momentum can rival Yuwen Qingyu, but his brain can't compare to others!"
"Hmph! Ling Mo Xie? Since you want to compete with me, I'll let you!" One of the bidders sneered. Little did he know that Ling Mo Xie was standing by the window on the second floor, observing everyone's expressions in the hall.
In the end, this long knife, which was only of High-Quality Yellow Rank, was won by Ling Lao Si for eighty thousand Spirit Stones, exceeding its original price by several times! "Knock knock!" The sound of knocking came; it should be someone from the Auction House delivering the long knife.
Ling Lao Si immediately ran to open the door and looked at Ling Mo Xie; he didn’t have that many Spirit Stones to pay. Ling Mo Xie smiled and took out the receipt that just arrived from the attendant, found the name of the long knife, handed it to the person delivering it, and said, "Just deduct the handling fee from the upcoming auction items!"
The attendant glanced at the receipt, handed over the knife to Ling Lao Si, and respectfully took his leave.
Ling Lao Si looked at Ling Mo Xie with a strange expression, causing Ling Lao Er and Old Eight, who hadn’t been looking at the door before, to feel puzzled and ask, "Fourth Brother, what’s wrong?" Ling Lao Si swallowed hard, looked at the knife in his hand, then at Ling Mo Xie, and said, "This... this knife was brought here for auction by Little Seven!"
"What?" Second Brother and Old Eight exclaimed in disbelief as they looked at Ling Mo Xie. A High-Quality Yellow Rank Spirit Weapon? Even they could only covet it; how could Ling Mo Xie put it up for auction?
"Old Seven! This is too... too extravagant, right? This is a High-Quality Yellow Rank treasure! You actually brought it to auction?" Second Brother said, his eyes wide as he stared at Ling Mo Xie.
"Huh? Extravagant? I don't think so. The grade is too low; it's not comfortable to use," Ling Mo Xie said nonchalantly as he sat down, picked up a fruit from the table, and started munching on it.
What happened next left Second Brother, Fourth Brother, and Old Eight with their mouths agape in astonishment. The Golden Hook that Second Brother had his eye on was Ling Mo Xie's, and the Autumn Water Sword that Old Eight wanted was also Ling Mo Xie's...
Eventually, the three of them became numb to the situation; whatever they fancied was almost always something Ling Mo Xie had brought to auction.
"Old Seven! Can you tell us what isn't something you brought to auction?" the three asked in unison. Ling Mo Xie waved his hand and smiled, "A lot of things aren't mine for auction! It's just that the items you see are more likely to be mine." He then pulled out a long receipt.
He continued, "Because I have quite a few items for sale, the chances of you liking something I brought are just higher."
The three looked at Ling Mo Xie strangely, unable to find words for a while. Finally, they sighed and said, "It's no wonder Third Young Master and the others can't compete with you! Even the entire Ling Family wouldn't find it easy to produce these items!"
Ling Mo Xie squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, seemingly talking to himself as he softly said, "Ling Family? My goal has never been the Ling Family; it's just that they choose to see me as an imaginary enemy." He then looked out the window of the Second Floor, thinking how foolish many people were to create unnecessary troubles for themselves.
