Chapter 138: One Hundred Thousand Yuan Limit

Cheng Wei's face was a little gloomy. He didn't say whether to raise the price or not. Instead, he said, "Auctioneer, I want to ask you, what should I do if I bid but can't pay?"

"Well, of course, according to the rules of Wubaotang, I will destroy my dantian, break my legs, throw me outside the gate of Wubaotang, and never step into Wubaotang again."

The old man stroked his beard and replied.

"Okay, then I suspect that the person who bids with me can't afford so much money at all, and has been competing with me maliciously."

Cheng Wei snorted coldly.

"Mr. Cheng, please be patient. I will check it immediately."

The old man said, walked to Su Chen, and said politely, "Mr. Cheng has raised doubts, saying that you may be suspected of maliciously raising the price, but you can't afford so much money. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, can you please provide me with your property certificate?"

In fact, some auctions do require bidders to provide property certificates to avoid malicious competition and waste of manpower and resources. So the old man's request was not excessive.

"What's wrong with you? Whatever the surnamed Cheng says is true? Then I'll tell you, Brother Chen said he has money, so he has money. You don't need to verify it!"

Gu Qianxue said angrily. In her opinion, the old man's request was a great offense.

Besides, it's just 50,000 taels of silver. If it doesn't work, she can help Brother Chen to make up for it... Well, Gu Qianxue rolled her eyes. Her pocket money might not be enough, but with her sister's, it should be more than enough.

Gu Qianyin knew what her sister was thinking when she saw Gu Qianxue's expression. She was angry and amused at the moment, and thought to herself: "Silly girl, does your brother Chen still need you to give him money? He is very capable."

As for the other guests present, they were all surprised to see Gu Qianxue defending Su Chen so much. They didn't know where Su Chen got such a cute little girl from, and he kept calling her brother Chen. This is because Gu Qianxue is young. If she were a few years older, the people present would probably be more jealous than surprised.

The old man coughed lightly and smiled, "Miss, our Wubaotang only needs this young man to provide proof of property. This is also the rule of Wubaotang. If the bidding opponent asks for it, the proof of property must be verified. Please cooperate."

"Why are you like this? I said that there is no need for verification, and it is not necessary to verify. Don't you understand what I say?"

Gu Qianxue's temper also came up, with her hands on her waist, and a posture of never compromising.

The old man smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss, if you don't cooperate, then I can only ask you to leave the auction site. This is the rule of Wubaotang. I hope you understand."

"You..."

Gu Qianxue's eyes widened. Obviously, she didn't expect that after she said so, the other party still insisted on verification.

And Gu Qianxue's performance, in the eyes of others, was obviously a guilty performance, which made them more convinced of Su Chen's speculation that he didn't have that much money.

"Xue'er, it's okay, you go to the side first."

At this time, Su Chen spoke lightly.

"Oh." Gu Qianxue heard this and stood aside obediently.

"You want proof of property, right?" Su Chen looked at the old man and asked.

The old man nodded, still smiling: "Yes, this is the rule of Wubao Hall, I hope you will cooperate."

Cheng Wei, who was not far away, sneered. He didn't believe that Su Chen could really take out 50,000 taels of silver. A kid from Qinghe City still wanted to compete with him? Then he would give this kid a lesson he would never forget.

All eyes were focused on Su Chen, wanting to see how Su Chen would end.

Su Chen seemed calm and collected. He took out a small object wrapped in black cloth from his arms and handed it to the old man, saying, "Give this to Tao Jin, the person in charge of this auction. He will understand what is going on."

The old man was surprised to hear that Su Chen actually knew Tao Jin's name. He then took the object from Su Chen's hand and walked quickly to the backstage.

In the backstage, Tao Jin was sitting and drinking tea. When he saw the auctioneer hurried in, he asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem with the auction?"

"No." The old man shook his head, "It's just that when bidding for the Fire Spirit Stone, one bidder asked to verify the financial resources of another bidder."

"Oh, isn't that a common thing? You can handle this kind of thing yourself, and you don't have to report it to me." Tao Jin said indifferently.

"However, the guest who was verified did not provide proof of financial resources, but took out this thing. Let me show it to you, Lord Tao, and you will understand." The old man handed over the object wrapped in black cloth.

"What do you mean?" Tao Jin looked puzzled.

He opened the black cloth and his face changed slightly.

"Who is the customer who provided this item?" Tao Jin asked immediately.

"It's a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who seems to be from Qinghe City." The old man replied.

A young man?

Tao Jin was puzzled. Isn't it Master Chen?

But the thing wrapped in the black cloth was clearly the token of Master Chen's consignment of the Purple Flame Pill. This kind of token jade pendant is unique to Wubaotang and cannot be faked.

Could that boy be someone of Master Chen?

"What's the boy's name?" Tao Jin asked.

"Sir, it should be Su Chen." The old man replied.

"Su Chen." Tao Jin remembered the name in his heart, and hurriedly said to the old man: "You go and announce that I have confirmed that the boy can take out more than 50,000 silver taels. Moreover, even if he doesn't have a single copper coin on him, Wubaotang is willing to open a quota of at least 100,000 for him."

"This..."

The old man took a breath, "A quota of 100,000? Sir Tao, this... is not wrong?"

A quota of 100,000, is this too exaggerated? What virtue did that boy have to let Wubaotang open a quota of 100,000?

"Just follow my exact words, go!" Tao Jin ordered. The fact that the young man named Su Chen could take out Master Chen's token was enough to show that he had a close relationship with Master Chen. Such a person should not be neglected.

"I obey your orders."

The old man hurriedly left the backstage and returned to the auction hall.

Everyone in the auction hall focused their attention on the old man. Cheng Wei sneered and said, "Auctioneer, have you verified it? Don't forget what you said just now. If he doesn't have the financial resources, he will have to abandon his cultivation, break his legs and throw him out."

The old man looked at Cheng Wei with a serious face, and then announced, "Everyone, Mr. Su's financial resources have been verified by Mr. Tao, the person in charge of this auction, and it is confirmed that Mr. Su has the financial resources to pay more than 50,000 silver taels. Moreover, even if Mr. Su doesn't have silver taels on him, Wubaotang is willing to offer him at least 100,000 silver taels, so please rest assured to bid."

Puff puff puff...

When the old man finished speaking, the tea in the mouths of many people present sprayed out directly, with disbelief on their faces.
