Chapter Ninety-Three: Struggle for Mastery

  Ye Chen smiled slightly as he listened to Lan Qianqian's voice and said, "Thank you! Great kindness doesn't need to be thanked!"

  Lan Qianqian waved her hand at Ye Chen, saying with a nonchalant expression: "Nothing much! It's just 100,000 taels, I can still afford to lose that amount of money!"

  Liu Yuer rolled her eyes and muttered to herself: "It's just a little money, what's the big deal!"

  Upon hearing this, Lan Qianqian didn't show a hint of anger, but instead provocatively teased Liu Yuer, as if saying: "I'm rich, so what? If you're capable, name a price and I'll take a look!"

  Ye Chen looked at the two women's expressions and smiled slightly, then immediately cast his gaze back onto the auction stage.

  At this time, all eyes in the auction hall were focused on the Tianzi No. 5 room where Ye Chen and others were located.

  "Who is this! So generous with his moves!"

  "Cut it out! You don't understand a thing! This Snake Scale Fruit is a medicinal herb, and for some alchemists, it's absolutely priceless!"

  "Yes! But I don't know who is in room Tian Zi 5!"

  "It doesn't matter who it is, one look and you can tell they're definitely someone with power and influence!"

  .........

  Lan Qianqian's voice may be a little unfamiliar to these people, but for those who are familiar with her, they can recognize it at once.

  In Tianzi No. 1 House, an old man respectfully bowed to a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes and said softly: "City Lord! It's the voice of the eldest miss!"

  The middle-aged man was the lord of this Tianlan City, Lan Jia Zhu, Lan Qianqian's father!

  Lan Jia's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he turned his head to look through the floor-to-ceiling window at Ye Chen and others in Tianzi Wuhao House. After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Qianqian probably just came to join in the excitement! There's nothing major going on, no need to pay attention!"

  "Yes! Lord of the castle!"

  The old man made a respectful bow towards Lan's family and then stood silently with a reverent expression on his face.

  In the Tianzi No. 2 room, a middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Tianzi No. 5 room, saying in a low voice: "It's that girl from the Lan family!" Then, with a faint smile, he closed his eyes, as if meditating and waiting for something!

  The old man in the middle of the auction hall, of course, had also heard Lan Qianqian's voice, but he only slightly frowned and immediately returned to normal, shouting: "Room Tianzi No. 5 is priced at one million, is there a higher price?"

  "One in a hundred thousand!"

  "Ten thousand times over!"

  But just as Ye Chen and others thought they had successfully purchased it, a faintly cold voice came from the Tianzi Sixth Room.

  "1.5 million!"

  As soon as this was said, everyone in the room looked at Room Tianzi No. 6 with suspicion.

  Tianzi No. 1 House, Lan's face turned cold and said in a low voice: "Is that the child of the Hai family?"

  "It's really him! The city master, Hai family has actually brought him here this time, I wonder if there's any other intention? After all, the last item to be auctioned off later is a bit too precious!"

  The old man turned his head and glanced at room Tianzi No. 6, saying to Lan Jia Zhu:

  Lan's family scolded with a frown, and after a moment, he let out a light breath, saying: "It doesn't matter! He is just a stubborn son, who is basically useless. Every day he is infatuated with Xiangxiang to the point of being dizzy, this time he came probably also for Xiangxiang!"

  In Room Tianzi No. 2, a middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Room Tianzi No. 6, furrowing his brow and muttering to himself: "Feng Er really doesn't understand, I told him not to come to today's auction, but he still came for that little girl from the Lan family, sigh~~~!"

  In Room 5 of the Tianzi Building, Lan Qianqian frowned and recognized the man's voice. She then apologized to Ye Chen, saying: "I didn't think he would come!"

  Ye Chen furrowed his brow and turned to look at Lan Qianqian, asking in puzzlement: "Who is he?"

  Ye Chen originally thought it was a sure thing, but unexpectedly, some changes occurred at the last moment, and he felt slightly displeased in his heart.

  Lan Qianqian furrowed her brow and said to Ye Chen, "This person is the young master of another prominent family in Tianlan City, the Hai family. The Hai family is also one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of this auction house. He often takes advantage of his family background to pester me, but I don't dare say anything because of his father's face!"

  Lan Qianqian answered while carefully observing Ye Chen's expression.

  It was indeed Hai Jia's young master, Hai Qu Feng, who had heard that Lan Qianqian and Ye Chen were together and had come to find trouble with Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen furrowed his brow and hastily asked Lan Qianqian, "How much money do you have? Even if I, Ye Chen, borrow from you! I must get this thing!"

  Lan Qianqian looked at Ye Chen and didn't get angry when Hai Qu Feng kept bothering her, she smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about this, I've said it before, if I promise to help you buy it, I'll definitely be able to buy it!"

  Immediately, Lan Qianqian turned her head and looked at the auction scene, continuing to shout: "Two million!"

  The voice had just fallen when Hai Qu's voice came out of Room Tianzi No. 6 again!

  "Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

  "Three hundred thousand!"

  "Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

  "Four hundred thousand!"

  "Five hundred thousand!"

  When Lan Qianqian shouted out the high price of 500,000 yuan, the whole room fell into shock. 'Five hundred thousand' is simply an astronomical figure for ordinary people!

  Hai Qu Feng's face was somewhat gloomy as he looked towards the room where Ye Chen and others were, then turned his head to ask the person behind him: "How much money do we have left?"

  "Young master, this time we have brought a total of 800,000!" A servant bowed respectfully to Hai Qu Feng and then said.

  Hai Qu Feng listened and suddenly smiled coldly, muttering to himself: "I don't believe Lan Qianqian still has any extra money!"

  He immediately shouted loudly towards the outside: "Eight hundred thousand!"

  "800,000!"

  Everyone in the entire venue was shocked to look at Tian Zi No. 6 room, and even the people in the other Tian Zi rooms and Di Zi rooms were surprised to look at Tian Zi No. 6 room.

  Lan Qianqian listened to Hai Qu's words, and a cold sweat slowly flowed out on her forehead. She had only brought 500,000 yuan with her, originally thinking it was enough, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

  Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he looked at Lan Qianqian, knowing that she had probably reached her limit with 500,000. The other person had bid 800,000, and Lan Qianqian was likely unable to compete anymore. Ye Chen fell into deep thought, for him, this snake scale fruit was a must-have!

  The old man on the auction stage frowned slightly, looking at the Tianzi No. 6 room, and then turned his head to look at the Tianzi No. 5 room where Ye Chen and others were located, and let out a sigh.

  "Eighty thousand! At once!"

  "800,000! Twice!"

  800,000

  "Wait!"

  Before he could even finish his third sentence, Ye Chen suddenly shouted loudly at the people below, startling even Liu Yuer and Lan Qianqian.

  Lan Qianqian and Liu Yuer were both staring at Ye Chen in a daze, unsure of what he was going to do.

  The old man looked puzzled and shouted at Ye Chen: "May I ask what brings you here?"

  However, what made the old man puzzled was that he did not expect there to be someone else in room Tian Zi Wu Hao, and it was a man! With his understanding of his own family's young lady, it was absolutely impossible for any man to get close to her!

  Lan's family was also looking at the Tianzi No. 5 room where Ye Chen was, with a puzzled expression, and then said to the old man: "Follow me to see what kind of man can make Qianqian be with him!"

  The old man furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "City Lord! But what about the last thing?"

  Lan Jia Zhu glanced at the old man and said, "It doesn't matter, we're just going to take a look!"

  Lan Jia Zhu immediately led the old man towards Ye Chen's room.

  At this time, Lan Qu's face also showed a ferocious expression, and he muttered to himself with a killing intent: "You've finally come out!" Immediately after, he turned his head to the crowd standing behind him and said: "Follow me to Tian Zi Wu Hao Fang!"

  "Yes!"

  The crowd respectfully responded in unison and followed Lan Qiu Feng out.

  Ye Chen listened to the old man's words, turned his head to look at the two women, and then shouted down: "I said earlier that we could exchange for other things, I don't know if it's true!"

  "Yes! If you have something good, our auction house will also directly purchase it!" The old man replied with a furrowed brow.

  "Alright! Send someone over and take a look, how much is this thing in my hand worth!"

  "Good!"

  Liu Yuer turned her head to look at Ye Chen, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and said softly: "What do you plan to sell?"

  Ye Chen looked at Liu Yu'er with a faint smile, he knew that Liu Yu'er should have already guessed it, and then softly said: "Since Shifu has already guessed it, why ask again!"
