4176 Who's tricking who?



He didn't dare to set the starting price too high. If he scared Ling Chuxi into giving up, how would he be able to scam her money? on this point, he had the same thoughts as Ling Chuxi. They were both afraid that they would not be able to trick the other party, but it was clear that Zeng Zhengping still thought that it was them who had won.

"Yes, the reason why we chose this method was to let the great families show their strength and not bully others. This is very good and fair." Elder Gong said.

Hearing Elder Gong mention the word 'fairness' again and again, not to mention Ling Chuxi, even the other family members were about to vomit. Who doesn't know that you're in cahoots with the Yuwen family to bully the Ling family? you still have the face to talk about fairness? you've lived for hundreds of years, can you be more shameless?

"Alright, it's settled then. The starting bid will be 500000 five-colored spiritual stones, and each increment must be no less than 100000. Let's begin." Zeng Zhengping shook his head as he spoke. Although he wasn't professional enough, he still had a bit of flavor to him.

The scene was silent, and no one responded. Although it was a fair auction, everyone knew that this was only a battle between the Yuwen family and the Ling family. Furthermore, if they lost the auction, the five-colored spiritual stone would be confiscated. They had no interest in being a spendthrift.

"How about this? I'll pay six hundred thousand five-colored spiritual stones." Yuwen Siyuan looked at Ling Chuxi with a smile that was not a smile and took the lead to raise the bid by 100000. Just as Zeng Zhengping had thought, he did not dare to raise the price too high in one go for fear of scaring Ling Chuxi away.

Ling Chuxi was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.

" 600000, going once ... 600000, going twice ..." Zeng Zhengping deliberately dragged out his tone to give Ling Chuxi enough time to think.

"Two million," Ling Chuxi suddenly raised her head. Her expression was very calm, but her eyes were obviously flickering with uncertainty.

"Two million?" Many people looked at Ling Chuxi in surprise. They had all heard of the Ling family's situation, so they were a little surprised when Ling Chuxi called out such a high price.

However, they immediately reacted. In fact, this was also a common tactic in the auction house. Shouting a high price as soon as the bid was made, showing the determination to win, and forcing the opponent to give up as soon as possible, both sides could avoid unnecessary losses.

It should be said that this young master of the Ling family still had some bidding experience, and his strategy was also very correct. If he didn't meet an opponent he knew the details of, he might really be scared off. But the problem was, it wasn't like everyone didn't know about the Ling family's situation, and the flickering light in her eyes had betrayed her. Obviously, even if she did have some five-colored spirit stones, it would be a lot. She estimated that it would only be two or three million.

Of course, this was already a huge amount of wealth for the disciples of ordinary families. However, compared to the Yuwen family, it was still not enough.

"Two million one hundred thousand." Yuwen Sicheng knew how Ling Chuxi had gotten this two million. He guessed that if she had not just happened to pull a fast one on the uncle and nephew of the Zeng family a few days ago, she might not even have been able to take out this two million. He did not take it to heart at all. He looked at Ling Chuxi like a cat playing with a mouse and added another 100000.

Ling Chuxi fell silent once again. Her furrowed brows revealed the internal struggle in her heart.

"2.1 million going once ... 200 ... 100000 ... Going twice ..." Zeng Zheng dragged his tone even longer, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing.'Stupid girl, don't think that my money is so easy to scam. It's fine if you don't take the bait, but once you've taken the bait, you'll have to pay me back with interest.' I'm crying, but you can't laugh.
