Mu Hanyan looked towards Shan Ling, noticing his pale face and slight trembling, yet his eyes were filled with continuous wonder. Evidently, he had just performed the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique, or he wouldnât have ended up in such a state.
From the behavior of Yuan Tianbo and others, Mu Hanyan could already conclude that this so-called Griffin Egg was definitely a fake, but she didnât know what Shan Ling had figured out to be so adamant about securing it for himself.
"Hurry up, bid on it," Shan Lingâs voice grew even more urgent. However, due to excessive physical and mental exertion, and being a novice at the Gathering Qi Transmission Skill, he couldnât explain much.
Mu Hanyan bit her lip. She already knew the origin of the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique, which had been passed down from the Star Plate of the Star Illusion Thousand Machine. She also deeply appreciated its intricacies. Given Shan Lingâs urgency, there must be a reason. She decided to trust him this once.
"Congratulations, youâve made this young master bleed heavily," Mu Hanyanâs tone shifted as she displayed a brazen cheekiness. "Iâll add another thousand taels. If you still want to compete, Iâll let you have it and not be the bigger fool."
Being a playboy doesnât always mean being the bigger fool; occasionally acting shameless is also a taste. Big Playboy Mu clearly mastered this essence, displaying such a cheekiness that was detestable to both humans and dogs.
Yuan Tianbo didnât mind, almost jumping up in joy. Good, he wouldnât have to answer to anyone now, and it would be Mu Hanyanâs turn to be crippled.
At the back of the crowd, the Third Elder was in utter despair. Oh Mu Hanyan, donât you know when to stop? If you had given up earlier, I wouldâve respected you more, but why must you be so unimpressive? Do you think acting slightly cunning will make you smart? Youâve still fallen into the trap.
The more the Third Elder looked at Mu Hanyanâs self-indulgent shameless façade, the more infuriated and resentful he became. He really felt like turning around and leaving.
Due to his despair over Mu Hanyan, he also started to lose hope in Shan Ling, no longer wanting to beg for his help.
"Ha ha ha ha ha, Mu Hanyan, I thought you would be smart for once, but it turns out youâre still a fool, purchasing a quail egg for ten thousand taels. Letâs see how you can afford that, Mu Baijia, still a Mu loser after all. The City Lordâs Mansion will soon be ruined by you, and even the Mu Family will be exhausted by you, ha ha ha ha!" Fourth Miss Zhao couldnât hold back anymore and burst out, pointing at Mu Hanyan and laughing loudly.
Everyone in the auction hall was stunned.
"Isnât that Fourth Miss Zhao? What is she doing here? What is she talking about?"
"Idiot, donât you see? Big Playboy Mu has been utterly duped."
"What, what? What exactly happened?"
"That Fourth Miss Zhao is Heishi City Zhao Familyâs beloved daughter, and she has been Mu Hanyanâs nemesis since they were children. She used to bully Mu Hanyan, but recently, she has suffered a great loss at his hands and even streaked publicly once, no twice, actually, maybe even more..."
It took a while for everyone to regain their senses, whispering and speculating in low voices. While they talked, they occasionally glanced at Fourth Miss Zhao, possibly imagining some not-so child-friendly scenes.
If it had been someone else, hearing Fourth Miss Zhaoâs loud laughter, they might have thought her to be a lunatic. Although the size of the egg was almost like that of a quail egg, the silver lines and gold stars on it surely couldnât be something you could buy for one cent apiece or one tael of silver for a bunch of quail eggs.
