" Sister who is in room number nine, please don't bid."
" right. Give us face. This part, give it to us" said the elder from room fourteen.
" If so, let's make a decision" said the elder from room two, who was immediately responded by all the guests in the special room.

In his room.
Qing Ruo and Long Chen were still speechless, and had yet to give a response.
" Lord, what's wrong?" long Chen asked looking at Qing Ruo who looked like she was smiling.
" Long Chen, this fruit turned out to be very valuable and in demand. I want you to obey the wishes of those young masters, but say something so that we can profit a lot," Qing Ruo said calmly.
" Good ruler." Eagerly.
On the stage.
" Sir, how did you respond?" hong Tianmi asked, while setting his eyes on room number nine.
" Miss, we're very disappointed, but how else. We were forced not to participate in this session. Actually if we were allowed, maybe we would only be able to bid up to forty-five million more," Long Chen replied, making the atmosphere become rowdy.
" It's really rich" said the guests who were in the usual seats with gape.
" Good sir. Thank you for understanding," Hong Tianmi said respectfully, then started the auction event.
After making sure the atmosphere in the room was calm. Hong Tianmi started auctioning the four remaining Bodhi fruits.
" Okay, the first fruit, we open at a price of one million and five hundred thousand" he said aloud, to which guests in a special room responded, even guests who were in ordinary seats also made an offer.

In his room.
Hong Dou could only shake his head. Given Long Chen's previous statement that could still bid up to forty-five million.
" Truly do not want to lose," he said slowly.
" Mademoiselle, they can really take advantage of the opportunity" said the elder who was by his side.
" Older is right, but I'm sorry that I didn't buy one of those fruits from the beginning."
" Miss is right. Hopefully, mister Na Ruo still has that boo."
" I'm sure he still has the fruit, but I doubt it."
" Miss, why is that?"
" Because after seeing the results of this auction, is the elder confident that he will give a cheap price?"
" Miss is right."

In his room.
Qing Ruo and Long Chen sat quietly, watching the course of the auction.
" Lord, are we going to wait for this auction until the end?"
" Of course, since we have to ascertain the price amount of this Bodhi fruit with certainty," Qing Ruo replied calmly.
" Good ruler, but why should it be?"
" Servant understands the ruler," while smiling meaningfully.
On the stage.
The first fruit auction of the four remaining pieces was finally won by the youth of room number four, at a price of thirty million.
" Okay, let's continue with the second fruit. Our auction price is open at a price of one million five hundred thousand" said Hong Tianmi, who was immediately responded by the young man from room number seventeen.
" Thirty-five million," he said out loud, making the place suddenly boisterous.
" Fifty-five," said the young man from room one, making the place quiet.
" The first forty-five million." said Hong Tianmi began counting.
" Fifty-five million second...."
" Fifth forty-five million. Young master of room number one, congratulations" Hong Tianmi said.
The auction continues. The price of the third bodhi fruit was won by the young man from room five for forty million. And the fourth fruit was won by the young man from room number twelve at a price of fifty million, making Long Chen who continued to calculate the amount of the Bodhi fruit's price truly ecstatic.
" Ruler, a total of one hundred and eighty-five million," said Long Chen happily, who responded to Qing Ruo's casual nod.
On the stage.

In his room.
" Lord, are we going to join this open auction session?
Qing Ruo calmly shook her head.
" I think it's too risky. We've made an incredible profit anyway."
" Good Ruler."
" Alright, let's go," he said as he stood up from his chair, bringing Long Chen away from the room, moving towards the item retrieval room.
" Ruler, this time we have a big profit, especially on the bodhi fruit," said Long Chen once again, who really did not expect to get the extraordinary benefits.
" Right," Qing Ruo said in response to the grab feel some figures observing her movements.
" Ruler, this..." Long Chen was startled, as he felt some god consciousness stirring to watch their movements.
" Just leave it. I'm sure they won't dare to act out of sorts" Qing Ruo calmed Long Chen down, as she continued to step foot.
" Good ruler."
Qing Ruo and Long Chen continued to walk through the second-floor hall of the auction house leisurely, until they finally arrived at the special room guarded by the four guards, who were waiting for them, which is a second-rate semi-eternal warrior.
" Mister, we want to take the goods," Qing Ruo said as she showed the golden badge of the auction house she owned.
" Please sir." Opening the door, while allowing Qing Ruo and Long Chen to enter the room respectfully.
" Thank you sir, " Qing Ruo said as she cupped her hands together, then entered the room.
Inside the room, it turned out to have been waiting for a servant, who directly directed Qing Ruo towards the room in question.
" Mister Na Ruo," Hong Dou said, welcoming Qing Ruo and Long Chen's arrival in a friendly manner.
" Please sit down sir," said Hong Tianmi who was also inside the room, welcoming Qing Ruo and Long Chen respectfully.
" Thank you," Qing Ruo said as she occupied the available seats.
" Didn't you join the open session auction?" hong Dou asked, mince words opening their conversation.
Qing Ruo smiled amiably, shaking her head.
" I think that's enough. After all, I've also gained an incredible advantage."
Hong Dou nodded his head.
" Will you leave soon?"
" Right." Qing Ruo replied calmly.
" Good sir, please be patient, our workers are counting it," Hong Dou said as he poured down a drink, and gave it to Qing Ruo and Long Chen.
" Nice, thank you.' Grabbing the drink, and sipping it casually.
