Zhang Yitian immediately looked over, because the voice was like a sweet spring that attracted his attention.
This was because this was the price Tian Ning had offered. It was enough to eliminate half of the people present.
Three hundred and fifty thousand, this was enough to buy a master of calligraphy from the Qing Dynasty. But if he spent this money to buy such an unknown work of Zhang Yitian, he would still have to hesitate.
However, this was only the thoughts of a portion of the crowd, and many of them still had an expression of complacency on their faces.
They wouldn't even bat an eye at this small amount of money!
Therefore, Tian Ning's three hundred and fifty thousand yuan was drowned out in less than a minute.
"Three hundred and seventy thousand!" The one who came out was the old man who sighed at Zhang Yitian's work.
The elder was probably in his seventies, and his vigor was strong. He had a calm and unperturbed expression on his face.
Someone cried out in surprise. It was unknown if they were sighing that the lordmaster knew too much, or that he truly felt that it wasn't worth it.
In short, the price was 370,000. This caused some people to ponder for a long time. Some people were watching, while others were counting their fingers as they thought of something.
Although there were still whispers in the room, the atmosphere seemed to have frozen.
Zhang Yitian also felt a hint of unease, and the unease in his heart became even more severe.
"370,000 going once!" Jiang Yuming suddenly shouted out loud, "Is there anyone that wants to increase the price!?"
The crowd did not respond, and the whispers became even heavier.
"Three hundred and seventy thousand twice!" I am going to shout out one last time, if no one else raises the bid, then this letter will undoubtedly belong to Elder Guan! "
The entire room buzzed non-stop, as if thousands of mosquitoes had swarmed in.
"Four hundred thousand!" There was another clear sound and finally, it was Tian Ning's bid. This caused everyone to be shocked!
Four hundred thousand yuan was not a small sum. Tian Ning did not seem like she was even twenty years old, yet she could still shout out such a high price without changing her expression. This kind of indifference caused everyone to raise their eyebrows.
This was the power of a house. Even though Tian Ning was young, the power behind her was enough to shock everyone.
"Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?" But it's only four hundred thousand? " Jiang Yuming was actually smiling while he said that.
But many people had lost their temper, although many people were just amazed at Zhang Yitian's writing skills, when it really came to spending hundreds of thousands to buy a word, many people were unwilling.
"Then... Four hundred thousand, once! " Jiang Yuming's gaze fell on the Elder Guan who was just there. The old man still had a calm expression, causing Jiang Yuming to not be able to figure out what he was thinking!
Jiang Yuming was also pondering, since the price for this work had already reached four hundred thousand, then he would have to put in more effort and auction it, when that time came, wouldn't he be able to get more commission?
"Cough, cough …" "Four hundred thousand!" Jiang Yuming intentionally dragged out his words, as his gaze swept across the entire room, "Is there no one else bidding? There's going to be no more chances! "
But there was still no response, so Jiang Yuming couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Four hundred thousand!" "Three …" Just as Jiang Yuming was about to finish, he was interrupted!
"Five hundred thousand!" The Elder Guan raised the number plate in his hand and raised it high up as he shouted.
Jiang Yuming was overjoyed in his heart as he hurriedly said, "Alright, it was really interesting. Elder Guan paid five hundred thousand! Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? "
Almost everyone turned to look at that old man. Among them was Tian Ning, who also seemed to be flabbergasted by who it was that was continuously competing with her.
After turning her head away, Tian Ning's face was suddenly filled with astonishment. She immediately turned her head away and did not utter a sound.
"Five hundred thousand, once!"
No one responded because everyone was looking at the old man!
Only then did Jiang Yuming feel slightly satisfied: "Five hundred thousand! Twice! Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? "
Jiang Yuming was very clear that there would probably not be anyone who would give an incredible price this time.
Looking around, Jiang Yuming's gaze landed on Zhang Yitian's body. He chuckled and smiled at, his hand grasped the small hammer tightly, and decisively swung it downwards: "Five hundred thousand three times! "Deal!"
This strike could be considered as done with the dust, and the whole room was in an uproar. The people who did not spend any money seemed to be even happier than the Elder Guan who got the letter, because they saw such a soul-stirring auction battle.
The Elder Guan, on the other hand, still maintained his composure. Sitting not far away, he remained calm and didn't move a single step.
A few of them even ran over to congratulate him, but there were even more people rushing towards Zhang Yitian.
Once the hammer landed, there were already people rushing towards Zhang Yitian. In a short moment, they had surrounded Zhang Yitian and Jiang Yiming.
"Little brother is indeed a dragon among men. Merely this casual flinging of ink was actually able to fetch such a high price …"
"Eh? Even though this little brother might not be that old, but I guess that he's more than capable, and can sell it for five hundred thousand now. If I were to improve a few more years, wouldn't he be the number one calligrapher in the current era? "
"Looks like Old Jiang is quite capable. Tell me, how did you manage to get such a strong little brother?" "I just happened to be here today, so I must make friends with this big guy …"
Zhang Yitian continued to smile at their flattery. Although he felt that he deserved it, but since this was a scene, he couldn't possibly let them off the hook, and only chimed in a few times.
"Brother, you're quite capable!" There was someone behind him who patted on Zhang Yitian's shoulder. He suddenly turned around and saw Jiang Yuming chuckling brilliantly at him, "I've also trained in the thin golden body for a few years, but honestly, compared to your level, I'm not even worth mentioning!"
Although Zhang Yitian and Jiang Yuming had only met each other for a short while, the two of them had eye contact. Right now, they felt more like old friends of many years.
"Jiang Ergong praises you too much. It's just a simple essay, you've done such a disgraceful thing!" Zhang Yitian said politely.
Jiang Yiming suddenly laughed out loud by the side: "If you want to be called an idiot, then do you want us people to live?"
Jiang Yuming also added on: "Heh, I said you are fat, but you are still panting. I don't like that.
After Zhang Yitian fought with the people around him for a while, he was pulled in front of Elder Guan. The old man was still grinning from ear to ear.
Jiang Yiming said as he walked, "This old man has a strange personality. You have to take responsibility and listen to my words! Do you understand? "
Zhang Yitian nodded his head heavily, and said that he remembered it. The two of them arrived in front of the old man.
"Hahaha …" Uncle Guan is still quite bold, even if you have something, you just need it, it doesn't matter how much he's worth! " Jiang Yiming actually clasped his hands and bowed deeply towards the old man.
Zhang Yitian could not help but be surprised, but looking at the situation, he knew that this old man had some kind of background. Otherwise, with Jiang Yiming as a character, how could he be so polite to him?
Zhang Yitian immediately imitated Jiang Yiming's movements and saluted respectfully. Who knows how much he spent on his own stuff. Zhang Yitian knew that he had to be respectful.
"Greetings, Elder Guan!"
Old man Guan wiped his long white beard. He looked like a sage.
The old man nodded his head, as if he had agreed to Zhang Yitian's etiquette, "I saw it earlier, that this child's standards, if you were to say that he was proficient in the art, it would be akin to being wronged. What about Song Huanzong? "It's just a small matter!"
The old man's words immediately sent Zhang Yitian to the skies, even someone like Jiang Yiming, who had heard the praise, couldn't help but to widen his eyes with a look of disbelief.
Zhang Yitian also recognized that the praise was too much and immediately said: "Yitian, I am just a junior, how can I bear such praise from you …"
Zhang Yitian's words caught him off guard. Jiang Yiming, who was at the side, tightened his face and immediately turned around to look at Zhang Yitian. That look in his eyes said, why did he say that?
Zhang Yitian had a face full of disbelief, he had no idea what was going on.
According to Jiang Yiming's meaning, this old man surnamed Guan would always spit at you, but he praised you because he thought highly of you. You even became modest, which made others feel that you were being hypocritical.
Seeing that Jiang Yiming's expression was strange, although Zhang Yitian did not know what went wrong, but he was sure that he had said the wrong thing.
Jiang Yiming Sect's old man with the surname Guan was acting as he pleased. If he lost face, wouldn't he be as furious as a clap of thunder?
Jiang Yiming's thoughts were also half-up, staring at the old man's change in expression.
This also shocked the people beside him.
Ever since Jiang Yiming dragged Zhang Yitian to pay respects to the Elder Guan, the people surrounding Zhang Yitian also surrounded him.
Now that it was the center of attention, 80% of the people in the room had gathered here.
There were some people who knew that he had the same temper as Jiang Yiming, so Zhang Yitian's previous modesty had shocked that group of people.
"Aiyo, how dare this kid? Wouldn't the old man explode? "
"What's wrong?" What did he say? "
Hey, you don't know that the old man loves face more than money. If this kid dares to be modest, then he won't give the old man any face at all. Unless the sun rises in the west today, then let's see how the old man will humiliate this kid!
The whispers in the crowd also conveniently revealed the essence of the matter. Zhang Yitian had also heard a little, and immediately realised the problem.
When he thought about it, how could it be possible that he had offended this old man, who would be so respectful to a character like Jiang Yiming?
Zhang Yitian was suspicious in his heart, and quickly tried to think of a way to remedy the situation.
Zhang Yitian was just about to give another big bow, to properly apologize to the other party.
Jiang Yiming who was at the side suddenly spoke out: "Err … Lordmaster, this little brother is new here and doesn't understand the rules, please don't take offense … "
Zhang Yitian looked at Jiang Yiming and immediately lowered his head. Now that Jiang Yiming had spoken, he might as well speak less. After all, compared to him, Jiang Yiming's face was exceptionally big!
Just when everyone thought that this old man would definitely scold Jiang Yiming along with him, Elder Guan suddenly laughed out loud.
The laughter came out of nowhere, so loud that Zhang Yitian felt goosebumps all over his body.
But then Elder Guan opened his mouth: "Eh? Yi Ming, look at what you're saying. He was so humble and respectful, could it be that he made a mistake? "You children just don't understand this …"
Hm? What did that mean? Jiang Yiming was also extremely confused in his heart, thinking that this old man couldn't have not brought him along when he went out the door, right? Why did he say those words today?
