Ch 156: You’ve only yourself to blame for this humiliation!
He Qijin did indeed feel it was a pity; he thought Old Guy Wang Lin would continue bidding.
Oh well, if there’s no opportunity for advancement, then so be it. It also saves the Wealth God twenty million Immortal Stones.
If it really doesn’t work, I’ll just tell the Wealth God that the auction only cost sixty million Immortal Stones, and I’ll personally pay twenty million from my pocket!
Hmm, this plan seems sound. Just claim that I got carried away bidding and accidentally overpaid, so I’ll pay twenty million Immortal Stones myself!
Thinking this far, He Qijin felt relieved and quietly smiled.
It should work!
“Haha, since Old Master Wang is no longer bidding, I announce that this Immortal Beast belongs to Daoist Friend He! Daoist Friend He, you don’t need to rush to give me the Immortal Stones; I’ll come find you later.” Du Feng laughed loudly.
Wang Lin, upon hearing this, smiled faintly and sarcastically said, “Hearing this, it has a bit of a shill’s feel to it, doesn’t it?”
His voice wasn’t loud, yet it resonated throughout the entire banquet hall.
From the moment Du Feng spoke, Wang Lin had already determined that He Qijin was a shill arranged beforehand by Du Feng.
Du Feng’s expression was strange upon hearing this.
He hadn’t asked He Qijin to be a shill!
He Qijin said with a smile, “Old Master Wang, there’s a misunderstanding. We have no shills. To prove my innocence, I will pay the Immortal Stones publicly.”
He knew that Wang Lin suspected him of being Du Feng’s shill.
“Haha, that’s right. Then, Little He, take out your Immortal Stones, and I’ll deliver them to him.” Wang Lin immediately stood up, walked to He Qijin, and with a teasing expression, reached out for the storage ring.
He had just been thinking that He Qijin might very well use the excuse of not bringing enough Immortal Stones today to get out of it. Unexpectedly, He Qijin didn’t say that; he even dared to say that he would pay directly. Then he was even more certain. Today, he would let He Qijin know the consequences of offending him!
If he couldn’t produce these Immortal Stones, then He Qijin could just wait to be branded a shill by him.
The He Family’s reputation would also suffer!
Then, how would the He Family treat He Qijin?
He Qijin came to Wangxu City, and it would be best if he was punished by the He Family. After experiencing this, He Qijin could just wait to never be able to return to the He Family!
This is the consequence of offending him!
He wanted everyone present to know how great the price of fighting him, Wang Lin, was!
A strange expression appeared on He Qijin’s face. Looking at Wang Lin standing in front of him, he immediately took out his storage ring and said calmly, “People from the He Family always carry sufficient Immortal Stones when they go out. Other things might be lacking, but Immortal Stones are never lacking.”
Wang Lin had given him such an opportunity to show off, and he naturally wouldn’t let it pass. He had to take this chance to show off properly!
If his deeds here were reported back to the family, he could also gain some benefits, and perhaps even be rewarded by the family.
Wang Lin, upon hearing this, looked at He Qijin with some doubt. This kid, what nonsense is he talking about?
How is this different from what he imagined?
And, he gave me the storage ring directly?
Taking the storage ring from He Qijin, Wang Lin frowned slightly, then decisively used his perception to check the number of Immortal Stones inside.
With He Qijin’s cultivation level, even if he came from the He Family, it was impossible for him to carry so many Immortal Stones when he went out, unless He Qijin possessed the strength to completely protect such a number of Immortal Stones. Otherwise, he could be robbed by some masked person on the road any day.
Furthermore, no matter how much a person’s net worth is, it’s impossible to convert everything into Immortal Stones. For example, I have a net worth of hundreds of millions, but the Immortal Stones I actually possess are less than one hundred million; the rest are Treasures and Pills.
However, at this moment, he was shocked to see that inside the storage ring He Qijin had given him, there were actually one hundred and twenty million Immortal Stones!
This! What’s going on?!
Wang Lin was dumbfounded, his eyes suddenly clear for a while.
Even having seen countless things in the world, he still couldn’t help but be stunned.
You guy, are you sick?! Who brings so many Immortal Stones when they go out?!
And these are all Immortal Stones!
If you had a few Treasures inside, that would be more normal. These are all Immortal Stones. Did you know beforehand that this would happen here, so you exchanged all your Treasures for Immortal Stones and then came here?!
This made him incredibly surprised. He couldn’t help but widen his eyes, staring at He Qijin.
Trying to see some clues from He Qijin’s body and expression.
But He Qijin just looked at him quietly, smiling faintly and saying, “Old Master Wang, are the Immortal Stones enough? There are one hundred and twenty million Immortal Stones inside. People from our He Family hardly bring anything when they go out, but Immortal Stones must be brought enough. This is the face of our He Family.”
Wang Lin finally came to his senses, his old face instantly darkening.
This guy!
He’s disgusted me in return!
But he didn’t know how to answer He Qijin’s question at this moment. If he followed He Qijin’s words and replied that there were indeed so many Immortal Stones in the storage ring, then he would be slapping himself in the face!
But if he didn’t say anything and directly gave the storage ring to Du Feng, he would have already lost in this battle.
Therefore, no matter what he did, he had already lost!
“Old Master Wang? What’s wrong? Didn’t you say you’d help me deliver the Immortal Stones to Daoist Friend Du Feng? If it really doesn’t work, I’ll do it myself.” He Qijin smiled slightly.
Wang Lin directly returned the storage ring to He Qijin and returned to his original seat without a word.
Forget it, anyway, I have a thick face; I’ll just pretend nothing happened. Wang Lin gritted his teeth and thought.
Wang Lin’s actions and behavior at this moment instantly widened the eyes of many people present.
Judging from the situation, there really are so many Immortal Stones?!
Good heavens! People from the He Family really carry this many Immortal Stones when they go out?!
Du Feng and Liu Lingxuan both looked at He Qijin in surprise, then saw He Qijin, carrying the storage ring, fly off the stage.
He Qijin came to Du Feng, gave him the storage ring, and in front of everyone, transferred the remaining forty million Immortal Stones to another storage ring of his own.
So everyone could see that He Qijin transferred forty million Immortal Stones from that storage ring before giving the original storage ring to Du Feng.
This also indicated that He Qijin’s storage ring originally contained one hundred and twenty million Immortal Stones!
This made everyone even more shocked.
Is this the foundation of the He Family!
“Daoist Friend Du Feng, so this Immortal Beast is mine?” He Qijin asked with a smile.
Du Feng took the storage ring, glanced at the contents, then swallowed his saliva involuntarily: “Of course!”
He Qijin nodded with a smile, then took the formation containing the Immortal Beast and flew back to his seat.
He sat down calmly, saying nothing more, concentrating on the Immortal Food and Fine Wine. He had already made a great splash on this trip, and since the task was completed, the rest didn’t concern him.
Lu Qing’an had a faint smile on his face the whole time. Once he confirmed that He Qijin had obtained the Immortal Beast, his purpose for this trip had been achieved.
He just needed to wait for the banquet to end and receive the Immortal Beast from He Qijin.
After taking a deep breath, Du Feng continued to have his subordinates bring out the remaining items.
In the subsequent auction items, Wang Lin didn’t continue bidding; he sat quietly, his expression returning to normal. It was as if nothing had happened, and he calmly drank Immortal Wine with his son and grandson.
Thus, seeing that Wang Lin was not participating in the following auctions, some people finally started bidding.
The auction returned to its normal course.
Soon, the auction came to a perfect end.
Du Feng returned to his original seat, a very obvious bright smile on his face, as if he had won a battle.
And at this moment, Wang Lin stopped his movements. Looking at Du Feng again, he launched his final offensive.
“Little Du, you said you’d give me an explanation. Now that the banquet is about to end, it’s time, isn’t it?” Wang Lin stared coldly at Du Feng.
Upon hearing this, Du Feng first glanced at Liu Lingxuan, then, with sufficient confidence, said, “Alright.”
He looked at Bai Lu and gave him a look.
At this time, Bai Lu took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards Wang Quangu.
