"Next!"
Listening to the man's tone, he seemed to still have the strength to fight.
"Young Master! That item has already started bidding, won't you take a look?" At this moment, a woman who was massaging the man's feet reminded him softly.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, the man slowly got up and glanced at the screen in the private room.
"Since that's the case! Let's call it a day!" The man spread his arms, still seeming to want more.
After the man stood up, the women beside him took turns helping him change clothes, their movements meticulous.
It seemed that such matters were already commonplace.
Then, all the women put on their clothes, covering all signs of intimacy.
"Young Master! Will we make a move later?"
At this moment, a woman in a crimson embroidered dress asked.
"Make a move? Why would we make a move?"
Upon hearing this, the man's lips curved upwards, and he let out a disdainful laugh, "Regarding that ancient book, the Siming clan has probably already discussed it in secret! Since that's the case, why should I exert myself further?"
"What does Young Master mean?"
The woman in the red dress was confused.
"You!"
The man reached out and pulled her into his arms. Then, he wantonly caressed her soft breasts.
"Ah! Young… Young Master! I… I just changed my clothes! You…"
The woman in the red dress's eyes were alluring, her pretty face flushed, exuding endless sensuality and passion.
"What a vixen!"
The man slapped her perky buttocks twice before letting her go.
"Are you stupid? Since the Siming clan has already made perfect arrangements! Then, once that ancient book is obtained! Just let them offer it up. Do you think they would dare to resist?"
The man said coldly.
"Young Master! Won't this cause public anger later!" The woman nestled in the man's arms, her delicate hand stroking his chest.
"Public anger? Ha!"
The man was dismissive. "In their bones, do they have the courage to get angry?"
"Don't forget, back then, it seemed like there was some reckless Siming clan brat who looked at you one too many times. Didn't I, in front of his father, dig out one of his eyes and shatter his heart meridian!" As the man spoke, his eyes were filled with pride. "But in the end! Didn't he still obediently kneel on the ground, begging me to spare his son's life!"
"Backbone? In the face of absolute strength, it ceases to exist!"
Hearing this, the woman in the red dress also seemed to recall that incident from back then.
"Young Master, now that you mention it, I do remember that person back then seemed to be from the most overbearing clan within the Siming clan!"
"Overbearing? Hahaha!" The man laughed heartily. "Thinking back now, it really is laughable!"
"Indeed! In front of Young Master, who dares to utter the word 'overbearing'!"
The woman in the red dress wriggled her delicate body in the man's embrace, the various exquisite sensations causing the man to gasp.
"Alright! Stop it!"
The man timely suppressed the fire in his lower abdomen and chuckled, "I'm not just here for that ancient book this time. There's something even more important to do!"
"Oh! Young Master has important matters?"
"Of course! I plan to add another good sister to you all!"
A good sister?
Upon hearing this, not only the woman in the red dress was stunned, but the other women nearby were also taken by surprise.
"I wonder which young lady is fortunate enough to have Young Master personally make a move?"
The woman in the red dress's voice was soft, yet it carried a subtle hint of hostility.
For her!
A new sister might directly affect her status.
"It's fine to tell you!" A vision of a beautiful woman appeared in the man's mind, and a wicked smile curved his lips. "Coincidentally! She also hails from the Siming clan."
"Her name is Shangguan Xi'er!"
…
Within one minute of "Xiantian Yi Qi" being put up for auction, no one had made a bid.
At the auction podium.
"Why isn't anyone bidding?"
"Are you stupid? Such a divine item! Who would dare to bid easily!"
"That's right! The big players are all in a wait-and-see phase! We just don't know who will be the first to strike!"
"Let's wait! The show will begin soon!"
"…"
Another three minutes passed, and finally, someone spoke.
"Two billion!"
With the first bid, they immediately increased it by one billion!
And the bidder was surprisingly from private room number five.
That's right! It was the private room where Ye Ming was located.
"Alas! Since no one is willing to take the lead, allow me to break the ice!"
In the private room, Ye Ming chuckled.
At the same time, this was his first bid.
So, after Ye Ming spoke, all the other nine private rooms focused on his location.
"Private room number five has made a bid. I wonder which distinguished guest it is?"
"Holy cow! They increased the bid by a billion right away! This…"
"Someone's finally bidding!"
"…"
Not only were people on the auction floor discussing heatedly, but even the occupants of other private rooms became wary of private room number five.
To them, among all the private rooms, only number five and number ten were relatively mysterious.
Private Room Number One.
"Oh! Number five is making a move!" The man frowned slightly and asked, "Do we have any information about number five?"
"No precise information! But there is a speculative piece of intelligence!" The woman in the red dress replied.
"Oh! What is it?"
"Based on the intelligence we've gathered, the person in private room number five is likely the true mastermind behind this impromptu auction!"
"This is quite interesting!" The man smiled and said, "If it's true, perhaps we can keep him if the opportunity arises!"
…
Private Room Number Two.
"Based on our situation, there's an eighty percent chance that number five is the mastermind!" Zhang Yi said. "As for number ten, it's quite mysterious!"
"Number ten?"
The young man pondered for a moment, and two golden lights flashed in his eyes. He asked, "In a setting like this, don't you think someone is missing?"
"Hmm? What does Young Master mean?"
The young man tapped on the table and finally uttered two words:
"Official!"
…
After the bidding started at two billion, the people from the Siming clan finally made their move.
Private Room Number Six: "Three billion!"
They also directly increased the bid by one billion.
Hiss!
Such a domineering bid made everyone on the auction floor's blood boil.
Private Room Number Ten: "Four billion!"
Another increase of one billion, showing no intention of backing down.
Private Room Number Six: "Five billion!"
Private Room Number Ten: "Six billion!"
…
Thus, through the back-and-forth contest between private room number six and private room number ten, the auction price soared to ten billion within a minute.
At this point, some people began to sense that something was amiss.
Because, from beginning to end, only private room number six and private room number ten were competing. The occupants of the other private rooms seemed to have no intention of bidding.
After the price reached ten billion, private room number ten suddenly fell silent, not continuing to bid.
It seemed that the other party had also realized something was wrong.
"Ten billion, first call! Are there any higher bids?"
The host announced loudly.
Another minute passed, and still, no one spoke.
"Ten billion, second call!"
Still no one!
"Ten billion…"
