Chapter 288
Shi Wenxuan refused to believe it. He kept staring at the Golden Dragon Card and noticed something strange.
“That card isn’t yours!”
Shi Wenxuan was excited with his finding. He said, “The card is real, but who knows whether you stole it from someone or found it on the street. Cards issued by the bank require identification. The dragon on the card will only move when the real owner holds it.”
With his explanation, others did find that although the Golden Dragon Card was giving off a gentle light, the dragon on it wasn’t moving.
In comparison, the tiger on Shi Wenxuan’s Purple Tiger Card was growling.
The steward was struck dumb. He hadn’t noticed this detail, since he had been completely shocked by the Golden Dragon Card.
“Did you steal it or find it on the street? Did you think you could put on airs at the Sacred Wind Chamber of Commerce with it?” one of Shi Wenxuan’s followers scorned.
Shi Wenxuan had chosen these women so that he could get something from them with his wealth, but to his surprise, Ying Wushuang hadn’t bought it at all. Crimson Moon and Yi Qing were also proud women.
At the same time, the auction was in progress. They had missed the start due to the incident.
The staff of the chamber of commerce started to introduce the auction items when he saw them looking towards downstairs.
“The first item is clinging fire crystal. It’s thought to be the most effective spiritual item for learning the creation of fire. The starting price is 3 million middle-grade yuan stones.”
The price had gone up to 9 million by that time. There were less and less bidders.
In the end, it was sold to the Gaos for 11 million.
“The Gaos have the blood of the phoenix. The enhancement of the creation of fire will be very beneficial to them.”
The three women looked towards Jiang Chen. All of them recalled the fight between him and Gao Tiange.
Many people were curious to know what kind of problem he had with the Gaos, but none of the three was close enough to him to ask him about it.
The second auction item wasn’t as great as the first one. That meant that except for the last item, none of the auction items would top the clinging fire crystal.
“I have a list here. Please confirm how many things on the list you need. Then come to me with your offer.”
Jiang Chen took out a rolled parchment on which he had written down the things he needed. All of them were crucial for him to defeat Shui Chun in three days.
The staff took it and left the box respectfully.
Ying Wushuang looked at him, puzzled.
“I’ll make a copy of the list for you,” said Jiang Chen.
“Okay.” Ying Wushuang relaxed.
Crimson Moon and Yi Qing were curious. They didn’t know what the relationship was between Jiang Chen and Ying Wushuang.
They knew Ying Wushuang was the captain of the Department of Discipline. She was almost famous for her bad temper and beauty.
They had heard she had a problem with the leader of the Sword Association of the Hero Palace. Jiang Chen had also had a conflict with the Sword Association, too. Could it be because of her?
They didn’t look like a couple at all.
“Jiang Chen, I’ve got something to discuss with you,” Crimson Moon suddenly said.
“What?”
Crimson Moon didn’t speak. She stood up and walked towards the door.
Jiang Chen shook his head. As a princess, she didn’t realize what was wrong with her temper, but he was curious to know what she wanted to talk about. Anyway, the auction was more boring than he had imagined.
“I finished my practice in the Palace of Sacred Point not long ago. I’ve formed all 49 of my holy points and I’m in the middle of developing my first extraordinary meridian. I want to ask you… do I need to develop it?” said Crimson Moon.
