Chapter 853: Young Man

Returning to the private room arranged for Xiaoyao Hou by the auction, Qin Shu, who had not seen Li Guanhai for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief and showed a sweet smile on her face.

Li Guanhai scratched her small nose.

Qin Shu's head shrank back subconsciously, but she did not dodge. Her clear eyes noticed that the other party had one hand behind his back, mysterious, so she cast a curious look.

"Hehe, I just went out to buy some fried dumplings and special snacks in Beijing." Li Guanhai took out his hand behind his back, holding several oil paper bags in his hand. At the same time, his eyes fell on the small table with tea next to the chair, and found that several plates of exquisite pastries had been added without knowing when.

"Tsk, you didn't come up earlier when you had food, making me spend money in vain. You really have no future." Li Guanhai pouted and put a few oil paper bags on the small table.

Qin Shu looked at the oil paper bags, feeling both happy and moved.

He was afraid that he would be bored sitting here, so he bought these snacks to relieve his boredom and cravings.

Pursing her plump lips, the little girl casually took an oil-paper bag and opened it. Inside was a golden fried dumpling, steaming hot.

She pinched a fried dumpling with her slender fingers like scallions, put it in her mouth, puffed up her cheeks and ate it, with a happy and satisfied smile on her face.

Seeing that she was eating happily, Li Guanhai also reached out and took a few fried dumplings and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them with great enthusiasm, eating without any image.

He also enthusiastically handed the oil-paper bag to the gorgeous Madam Xun, motioning her to try it.

Madam Xun stepped back slightly, squeezed a smile on her beautiful face, and shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to eat it.

Li Guanhai didn't force it, and handed it to the pretty maid next to Madam Xun.

The pretty maid was stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect that she, as a servant, would also be shared. She showed a flattered and frightened look, lowered her head and carefully took a fried dumpling from the oil paper package. After saying thank you, she stepped back and ate it in small bites without making a sound.

This is a habit she has developed over the years, very natural.

Soon, the seventh lot came on stage.

After the woman in charge of the auction introduced the origin of this secret box, she reported the reserve price.

"This seventh lot, the starting price is one million spirit stones, and each increase cannot be less than 50,000."

With the sound of the gavel "dong", the auction began.

This starting price surprised Li Guanhai a little, because the price was a little too high.

After all, buying this secret box is basically gambling. If you bet right, you will reach the peak of your life.

If you bet wrong, a million spirit stones will buy loneliness after all.

To put it bluntly, it is to open a blind box. Because of its gambling nature, the price of a secret box, no matter how extraordinary its origin, is actually not too high. The starting price is at most a few hundred thousand spirit stones.

When Li Guanhai bid for the secret box containing human skin, the starting price was only 300,000 spirit stones, but now it is asking for one million. How many people dare to try such a high price?

As Li Guanhai expected, there were not many bidders. They were all people who were not short of money. Buying a secret box with a million spirit stones was just entertainment.

Although there were not many bidders, the starting price of one million spirit stones quickly made the price of this secret box break through to two million.

Now there are even fewer bidders.

The current highest price was offered by a mountain master of the Qijue Sect, a full 2.2 million spirit stones.

The little girl Qin Shu was numb all over. She sat there in a daze, eating the special snacks bought by Li Guanhai bite by bite, her little head dizzy.

She had been doing odd jobs to make a living since she was a child, and she had rarely seen spirit stones, let alone so many spirit stones.

For ordinary people, gold, silver and copper coins are circulating currencies.

For cultivators, spirit stones are circulating currencies. She did not understand cultivation, and her status was low. Her monthly salary was copper coins, so she naturally had no chance to come into contact with spirit stones.

She felt that the biggest number she had ever seen in her life should be the current 2.2 million spirit stones.

But the next moment, the voice of the man next to her raised her cognition to a new level.

When the auctioneer asked twice whether anyone wanted to increase the price, Li Guanhai slowly said: "2.3 million spirit stones."

All of a sudden, from the first floor to the third floor of the auction hall, almost everyone's eyes were focused on the private room where Xiaoyao Hou was.

Qin Shu widened his eyes, dumbfounded, and his little head was blank.

The mountain master of Qijuemen, who bid 2.2 million, glanced at the private room on the third floor, thought for a while, and did not bid.

In the end, the secret box was bought by Li Guanhai at a high price of 2.3 million spirit stones.

But outsiders certainly don't know that he took the photo. They will only think that it was taken by Xun Huaixin, the Marquis of Xiaoyao.

In the opposite room, Princess Huaishu looked at the emperor's uncle in surprise, somewhat puzzled.

The whole court knew that the reason why this Marquis of Xiaoyao was named Marquis of Xiaoyao was not only because he was a member of the royal family and the court had the responsibility to support him, but also because he was incompetent.

Because he was incompetent, the royal family named him Marquis of Xiaoyao, with a fief of 10,000 households, fine clothes and delicious food, and a carefree life.

Although he had the position of a general, that position was actually bought by him with a lot of money through connections, and no one cared.

Everyone knew what kind of character he was.

But such a person was willing to spend 2.3 million spirit stones to buy a secret box. Why?

Wouldn't it be better to keep those spirit stones to build a horse farm? Maybe they can come in handy during the war.

And where did he get so many spirit stones? Although he had a fief of 10,000 households, it was impossible for him to be so generous.

Princess Huaishu was puzzled.

In the private room, Li Guanhai breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the currency traded between Daluotian cultivators is also spirit stones, and there are a lot of them in the Qiankun bag, otherwise he could only watch the secret box being auctioned off by others this time.

Maybe there is really a great opportunity in it.

After getting what he wanted, Li Guanhai no longer had to stay here, so he took Qin Shu and left the auction directly.

When he walked out of the back door, he met a few people. The one walking in front was a handsome young man with a tall figure, extraordinary appearance, and a smile on his lips all the time.

And the people around him were all beautiful women with outstanding appearances, each with their own characteristics, some cute, some gentle, some lively and playful, and some cold and gorgeous. They really competed with each other for beauty, each with its own merits.

Pick any one of these women out, and the suitors can line up from the beginning to the end of the main street of the capital.

When passing by, the handsome young man's eyes swept over Li Guanhai and fell on Qin Shu.

The girl's unique sense of fragility has a special charm, making people want to hold her in their hands and protect her carefully like an egg.

When the two walked out of the auction house, the cute girl next to the young man puffed up her cheeks, looked at him dissatisfied, and said in a resentful tone: "Are you trying to hook up with other women again!"

The young man smiled and defended himself: "How is it possible? Am I the kind of scum who falls in love with everyone I meet and is affectionate everywhere? I am very satisfied to have you by my side. My heart is full of you. It is full and there is no room for other women anymore."
