94 Bigshot Feels That Something Is Wrong

Cui Hong was the one who handled many of the Cui Family’s matters. Cui Lao was gradually retreating behind the scenes. At this moment, he actually came to the ghost market personally.

“I’m afraid this treasure is extremely important,” Bai Yun replied.

Xiang Yin turned his head to look at Gu Man. Although Gu Man had also seen Cui Lao, her expression did not change. He knew that the Cui family had been investigating Gu Man recently and could not help but ask, “Did Cui Lao look for you after?”

Gu Man looked up at Xiang Yin in confusion and asked, “Why is he looking for me?”

“I thought he would still come to thank you for saving his grandson last time,” Xiang Yin replied with an excuse.

He turned away, thinking, Good.

At one in the morning, a gong sounded. A short old man in a gray traditional Chinese robe appeared on the auction stage. He didn’t waste any time and said, “The auction begins.”

It was really simple and crude. It was hard to imagine this place. Such a ceremony would have treasures worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan auctioned here later.

Perhaps this was the magical thing about a place like a ghost market.

The auction began. Whether it was the Seven Treasures Bed of Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty, the “Pond Autumn Painting” by Emperor Huizong of Song, or the bowl that Zhu Yuanzhang begged with… Gu Man was not interested.

The more the auction progressed, the more anxious she became until the short old man in the long robe shouted loudly, “The Gold Sarira of the Golden Water Mountain of the Northern Kingdom.”

Gu Man was so excited that she almost stood up.

Xiang Yin raised his hand slightly, and Gu Man realized that she was anxious.

Gu Man was naturally excited when she thought that she might see the items she carried with her in her previous life. However, when she saw Xiang Yin’s gesture, Gu Man knew that she had been careless. The biggest taboo in an auction was impatience.

Gu Man sat down quietly and regained her composure.

At this moment, she heard Bai Yun say, “Could it be that Cui Lao also wants this Sarira?”

“What do you mean?” Xiang Yin also glanced at Cui Lao.

“Look, he hasn’t participated in any bidding since the beginning. He was obviously excited when they shouted for the Sarira just now.” Bai Yun said what he had just observed.

Gu Man wondered why Cui Lao wanted the Gold Sarira.

However, she did not ask. Everyone had secrets.

After the old man in the long robe removed a piece of red silk cloth, a treasure the size of a pigeon’s egg that was seemingly jade-like, was revealed.

The old man still did not waste his breath. He set up a rotating platform and let the sarira spin slowly on it. At the side, a camera projected the sarira on the big screen.

Gu Man looked at the clear projection and couldn’t help but praise this sarira. It was really beautiful.

It was white and smooth with thin red lines inside. The faint fluorescent light was even more obvious after the lights were dimmed.

However, Gu Man was extremely disappointed because this Gold Sarira from the Gold Water Mountain of the Northern Kingdom was fake!

“It’s fake,” Gu Man said softly.

Xiang Yin and Bai Yun looked at her in surprise.

“The luster is wrong. Along with my intuition,” Gu Man explained.

Xiang Yin and Bai Yun nodded. They actually didn’t feel that the basis for relying on intuition was nonsense. It was just like how they didn’t feel that Gu Man was just casually saying that she wanted to find this sarira at first.

Downstairs, they had already started to ring the gong and announce the price. “The Gold Sarira of the Golden Water Mountain in the Northern Kingdom, 50 million yuan.”

When Gu Man heard this price, she clicked her tongue. This price had exceeded her expectations.

Just this 50 million yuan required her to spend all the money she earned as a hacker.

On the stage, someone offered 60 million yuan.

Gu Man did not know if she should be glad that this sarira was fake. Otherwise, even if it was real, she would not be able to bid for it.

The price of this fake sarira was getting higher and higher. The Cui Family kept raising their placards, and someone from an unknown family was chasing after them. These two families had the aura of not giving up on this item.

What two rich spendthrifts.

Gu Man asked softly, “Didn’t these people bring a group of people over? Didn’t they bring some professional appraisers?”

Xiang Yin said, “An appraiser isn’t omnipotent. You can appraise ordinary things, but you might not be able to tell if it’s too subtle. Moreover, it’s even more difficult to examine such things. If you ask why there are so many people, you’ll know later that there will definitely be snatching at every auction here. Most of those people are thugs.”
