After hearing Xue Daoyang's words, Lu Tian hesitated for a moment.

The effect of that spirit bead is extraordinary, and the auction price must be beyond the reach of others.

Although the Lu family is expected to become the top three richest people in the city recently, due to the recent expansion of business and insufficient cash flow of the company, he does not want to boast about Haikou.

Seeing the hesitation on Lu Tian's face, Xue Daoyang showed an impatient look on his face and snorted coldly.

"Why are you hesitating here? Don't forget who gave you everything in your home now!"

"Since I have the ability to give you this, I have the ability to make you lose it all!"

Listening to Xue Daoyang's threatening words, a trace of struggle flashed across Lu Tian's face, and he finally regained his composure.

"Okay, don't worry, I will get this spirit bead for you."

After speaking, a trace of hatred flashed across his face. "Don't forget what you promised me."

Xue Daoyang smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I will definitely ruin her reputation and get the punishment she deserves."

In a blink of an eye, the day of the auction arrived.

Because the auction was at night, Ruan Xia slept until she woke up naturally. Then, under Yuan Qi's arrangement, she put on a dress and was taken to the Mo family to set off with Mo Tingye.

Because this auction was relatively low-key, Mo Tingye helped Ruan Xia choose a very calm black color.

She also considered that she might meet as Xue Daoyang, and the skirt would be in the way during a fight, so she chose a custom-made suit that would be more convenient for movement.

And he himself is wearing a navy blue custom-made suit.

Standing next to Ruan Xia, he actually smelled like an agent.

Entering the venue, Ruan Xia started to look around.

She was judging who of each guest who entered the venue was most likely to be Xue Daoyang.

Although at this auction, the person who finally won the Lingzhu was most likely related to Xue Daoyang.

But with Xue Daoyang's character, even if he didn't take action himself, he would still watch the spirit bead fall into the bag with his own eyes.

Therefore, if an accident occurs during the auction, Ruan Xia will immediately take action to protect the spirit beads.

As long as Xue Daoyang leaks a breath, she will find him immediately and beat him up.

"Miss Ruan."

Just as she was looking around, a familiar voice sounded.

Without looking back, Ruan Xia knew that it must be Lu Tian.

Sure enough, when she turned around, she came face to face with Lu Tian's brilliant face.

Lu Tian walked straight towards Ruan Xia and stood in front of Ruan Xia. He seemed to have just noticed Mo Tingye who had been sitting next to her.

He said hello in a very unnatural way, and he taunted him.

"I thought people like Mr. Mo would disdain attending auctions, but I didn't expect to see you here."

Mo Tingye didn't show any weakness and responded.

"Mr. Lu can appear here, why can't I come?"

Lu Tian had no intention of continuing to quarrel with Mo Tingye, but turned his attention to Ruan Xia and took out the invitation letter in his hand.

"What a coincidence. I was wondering what kind of person would be sitting next to me, but I didn't expect it to be you."

As he said that, he sat down next to Ruan Xia, with a slight smile on his face.

"Are you coming alone?"

Ruan Xia looked behind him, but still couldn't see the second person, so he couldn't help but ask, "Where is that Huang Xin?"

She always felt that Huang Xin was the incarnation of Xue Daoyang, but there was insufficient evidence, so she could only test it.

"Taoist Master Huang has no interest in such an auction and has gone to a Taoist temple to meditate."

Lu Tian's sincerity made Ruan Xia unable to ask any more questions, so she could only smile reluctantly and continue to look around.

She didn't know whether Xue Daoyang really didn't come, or he was hiding it too well. She didn't feel the aura that belonged to him until everyone entered the scene.

She had no choice but to sit down a little decadently and wait for the auction to begin.

The items in the opening auction were all relatively novel. To Ruan Xia, they were just personal belongings. She didn't even bother to raise her eyelids.

However, Lu Tian looked at Ruan Xia with surprise after seeing a very simple white jade hairpin in the auction.

"Miss Ruan, this hairpin matches your temperament very well. I haven't thanked you properly yet, so just think of this hairpin as my thank you gift to you."

Ruan Xia was originally in a daze with her head down in a lack of interest. After hearing Lu Tian's words, she raised her head and looked at the stage.

At this time, the auctioneer happened to be introducing this white jade hairpin.

"This white jade hairpin comes from the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is said to be owned by a certain princess."

"Jade has the miraculous effect of nourishing people since ancient times. A good jade matches a beautiful woman. The starting price is five million, and the price increases by one million each time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tian raised his hand and said, "Ten million."

There was an uproar in the venue.

Although this white jade hairpin is indeed worth a lot of money, it is rare for it to rise to five million in one go.

Although many people like this white jade hairpin, you can tell from Lu Tian's attitude that he is determined to get this white jade hairpin.

In this case, people who originally planned to give it a try put their signs down one after another and decided to use adult beauty.

"Once in ten million."

"Twice a million times."

Just when the auction was about to start, Mo Tingye suddenly raised his sign.

"Twenty million."

There were boos in the stadium.

Twenty million, which is far more than the value of this white jade hairpin.

Even Lu Tian, who looked confident just now, turned his head and looked at Mo Tingye with some surprise.

In just a moment, his expression returned to normal again.

"thirty million."

Lu Tian raised his sign again, his eyes shining with determination to win.

Everyone was waiting to see if Mo Tingye would raise his hand again.

However, Mo Tingye just shrugged, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and made no further movements.

"Thirty million times."

"Thirty million times."

"Thirty million for the third time."

"make a deal!"

Once the deal was finalized, the white jade hairpin was delivered to Lu Tian on a mahogany tray by the etiquette lady.

Lu Tian took the sandalwood box containing the white jade hairpin and placed it in Ruan Xia's hands like a treasure.

"Miss Ruan, you have helped me so much before, please consider this as a thank you gift."

Ruan Xia lowered his head and glanced at the sandalwood box in his hand, then calmly put it into his bag without refusing.

Although she had no interest in these external things, Lu Tian had mentioned giving her a thank-you gift for a long time, and her ears almost became calluses.

After finally waiting, of course she couldn't bear to refuse again.

Seeing Ruan Xia put away his gift, Lu Tian looked at Mo Tingye provocatively, with a hint of confidence and pride in his eyes.

It wasn't until he saw the expressionless change on Mo Tingye's face that he stopped moving and turned his eyes to the stage again with a gloomy expression.

"You seem to dislike Mo Tingye?" Ruan Xia said and looked at Lu Tian.

She cleverly realized that as long as Mo Tingye was around, Lu Tian would try his best to prevent him from doing what he wanted to do.

"It's okay." Lu Tian smiled and did not answer directly. He still stared at the stage and changed the topic lightly.

"The finale is coming soon, Lingzhu."

As soon as Lu Tian finished speaking, the hostess brought out a pear wood tray that was different from other wooden trays. It was inlaid with gold on all sides, low-key and luxurious.

“Then comes the highly anticipated grand finale!”
