Mu Hanyan looked towards Shan Ling, noticing his pale face and slight trembling, yet his eyes were filled with continuous wonder. Evidently, he had just performed the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique, or he wouldn’t have ended up in such a state.
From the behavior of Yuan Tianbo and others, Mu Hanyan could already conclude that this so-called Griffin Egg was definitely a fake, but she didn’t know what Shan Ling had figured out to be so adamant about securing it for himself.
"Hurry up, bid on it," Shan Ling’s voice grew even more urgent. However, due to excessive physical and mental exertion, and being a novice at the Gathering Qi Transmission Skill, he couldn’t explain much. Check latest chapters at novel⚑fire.net
Mu Hanyan bit her lip. She already knew the origin of the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique, which had been passed down from the Star Plate of the Star Illusion Thousand Machine. She also deeply appreciated its intricacies. Given Shan Ling’s urgency, there must be a reason. She decided to trust him this once.
"Congratulations, you’ve made this young master bleed heavily," Mu Hanyan’s tone shifted as she displayed a brazen cheekiness. "I’ll add another thousand taels. If you still want to compete, I’ll let you have it and not be the bigger fool."
Being a playboy doesn’t always mean being the bigger fool; occasionally acting shameless is also a taste. Big Playboy Mu clearly mastered this essence, displaying such a cheekiness that was detestable to both humans and dogs.
Yuan Tianbo didn’t mind, almost jumping up in joy. Good, he wouldn’t have to answer to anyone now, and it would be Mu Hanyan’s turn to be crippled.
At the back of the crowd, the Third Elder was in utter despair. Oh Mu Hanyan, don’t you know when to stop? If you had given up earlier, I would’ve respected you more, but why must you be so unimpressive? Do you think acting slightly cunning will make you smart? You’ve still fallen into the trap.
The more the Third Elder looked at Mu Hanyan’s self-indulgent shameless façade, the more infuriated and resentful he became. He really felt like turning around and leaving.
Due to his despair over Mu Hanyan, he also started to lose hope in Shan Ling, no longer wanting to beg for his help.
"Ha ha ha ha ha, Mu Hanyan, I thought you would be smart for once, but it turns out you’re still a fool, purchasing a quail egg for ten thousand taels. Let’s see how you can afford that, Mu Baijia, still a Mu loser after all. The City Lord’s Mansion will soon be ruined by you, and even the Mu Family will be exhausted by you, ha ha ha ha!" Fourth Miss Zhao couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out, pointing at Mu Hanyan and laughing loudly.
Everyone in the auction hall was stunned.
"Isn’t that Fourth Miss Zhao? What is she doing here? What is she talking about?"
"Idiot, don’t you see? Big Playboy Mu has been utterly duped."
"What, what? What exactly happened?"
"That Fourth Miss Zhao is Heishi City Zhao Family’s beloved daughter, and she has been Mu Hanyan’s nemesis since they were children. She used to bully Mu Hanyan, but recently, she has suffered a great loss at his hands and even streaked publicly once, no twice, actually, maybe even more..."
It took a while for everyone to regain their senses, whispering and speculating in low voices. While they talked, they occasionally glanced at Fourth Miss Zhao, possibly imagining some not-so child-friendly scenes.
If it had been someone else, hearing Fourth Miss Zhao’s loud laughter, they might have thought her to be a lunatic. Although the size of the egg was almost like that of a quail egg, the silver lines and gold stars on it surely couldn’t be something you could buy for one cent apiece or one tael of silver for a bunch of quail eggs.
