The manager trembled as he held the painting in his hand. His eyes shone as he looked at Yun Ruoleng: "Do you need me to recommend you?"
"Hmm?" Yun Ruoleng frowned slightly, what was the situation now? Introducing what?
"You have such great talent. Do you need me to introduce you to my master?" The supervisor saw that Yun Ruoleng was confused and quickly explained, "My master is someone who cherishes talented people as much as his life. If you were under him, your future would be limitless."
"I've always liked to be free and easy. Plus, I don't like to be subservient to others either, so thank you Manager for your love." Yun Ruoleng rejected decisively and switched the topic to the painting, "Manager, why don't you name a price!"
It was already annoying that he had a deal with the Regent, so Yun Ruoleng decided not to involve himself in any strange things.
Yun Ruoleng's words made the steward sigh in disappointment. He wanted to persuade him a little more, but he saw that Yun Ruoleng was already drinking his tea, and obviously did not want to talk about this topic anymore. He could only regretfully say: "Forget it, I'll go and ask the price of this painting!"
Nodding his head, Yun Ruoleng looked at the manager's leaving figure and furrowed his brows. Just now, the manager said that today was a huge auction, and before he left, he did not forget to tell Yun Ruoleng that today's auction was about a Smoke Water Spirit Jade that was rarely seen in a hundred years.
Although he did not know what the Smoke Water Spirit Jade was, Yun Ruoleng still wanted to watch the show.
Yun Ruoleng asked the servant for an inconspicuous VIP room, he didn't know if the attendant had specially arranged this place, but Yun Ruoleng felt that this place was pretty good, and that he could clearly see the situation downstairs.
As he sat in the distinguished guest seat and looked at the crowded second floor, Yun Ruoleng's eyes flashed. It seems that the Smoke Water Spirit Jade is indeed a good item, otherwise, how could there be so many people fighting over it?
"Cousin, don't worry. We will definitely buy the Smoke Water Spirit Jade."
Eh? Yun Ruoleng's eyes lit up. Why does this voice sound so much like that big sister's voice?
"What am I worried about?" The man's voice came from the other side of the room, carrying a faint stench of copper, "More than money, hmph! These people's money is really not enough! "
Yun Ruoleng laughed coldly, this rich young master was truly a frog in the well, there were many people in the world who were richer than him. He really didn't know anything.
His eyes turned, Yun Ruoleng smiled, and spoke while pinching his throat: "You are just a rich son who took his parents' blood and sweat money to please women, you really think you are something!"
"You are determined to win?" The other party seemed to have not expected that their conversation would be heard by someone and that they would even invite contempt. As a child of a wealthy family in a large family, naturally they would not let it go so easily.
"Anyone in this position has a chance to obtain it!"
"But whether or not we can buy it depends on our abilities." The male voice next door seemed to be patient, but it did not flare up on the spot.
Yun Ruoleng seemed to be very satisfied with this result, and did not continue speaking. Yun Yueyu's stifled voice came out from the room next door: "Who is he! What right do you have to say that about us? "
"Don't cause trouble anymore!"
"But cousin, aren't you angry that he said that to you?"
"When the time comes, we'll get the item. It's not too late for us to go out and clean him up." The man smiled and comforted her, he even purposefully raised his voice a little, obviously speaking for Yun Ruoleng to hear.
"Humph!" I must get the thing and see if he still has the face to boast later! " Yun Yueyu snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.
The man who was called "cousin" sighed helplessly, but he didn't say anything.
When Yun Ruoleng heard this, the smile on her face became even more obvious, this was what she had been waiting for.
As nightfall approached, the auction finally began. The host of the auction was still the woman in red. She was surrounded by several women in white holding lanterns. The women on the stage were dancing gracefully, causing the woman in red to appear even more beautiful.
The third floor was a luxurious room, where a man was leaning against the soft ground. He was holding his painting with one hand and supporting his head with the other, while the silver mask covered most of his face.
"Mistress, how should I sell this painting?" When the manager saw the expression on his master's face, he was overjoyed. This painting was probably going to be sold at a high price.
"Although this painting is a very simple landscape painting, it has pure magical power and can prolong one's life if you look at it for a long time. This kind of painting is extremely skillful, and it can only be created by someone who has pure magical power." The man paused, "The starting price is thirty thousand silver taels, this is not considered expensive."
"Yes sir!" The overseer came out of the room happily with the painting in his arms.
Waiting until everyone had left, the man stood up and walked to the window. He opened the window a little, just in time to see Yun Ruoleng's position clearly.
Yun Ruoleng raised his head at the same time to look at this position. The man's eyes flashed slightly, and turned back to his own soft couch.
When that gaze disappeared, Yun Ruoleng heaved a sigh of relief. For some reason, that gaze was too passionate, making it hard for her to breathe.
The first item the host took out was a dagger. The starting price was 5,000 silver. In the end, it was bought by a person in the public chat.
The second item was a vase that was said to have been passed down for 300 years. The starting price was 10,000 taels of silver.
Following it were screens, paintings, jade, etc.
Yun Ruoleng's painting was bought by the people in the VIP room for a hundred thousand silver, which surprised Yun Ruoleng a little. This price seemed to be higher than what she had imagined …
The Smoke Water Spirit Jade that everyone had been waiting for had finally appeared. As the finale for tonight, it had a unique style to it. The women on the stage retreated in succession, and then the fairies scattered while the three masked women descended from the sky, slowly landing in the middle of the stage. The leading lady held onto a tray, and walked over to the host with light footsteps.
The master of ceremonies nodded at her, then lifted the red cloth off the tray. A pale green jade appeared in front of everyone.
Yun Ruoleng stretched out his neck, and after taking a clear look at what the material looked like, he squinted his eyes. Although the jade was green, the color of the mist would appear after a long time in the air.
Other than Yun Ruoleng, the rest of the people also exclaimed, and before the host could say anything, someone already started asking for the price.
"Everyone, quiet down." The host was used to seeing this sort of scene. With a bright smile, he said lightly, "I know that everyone wants to take this item, but this auction is different from the previous ones.
