Chapter 428: Chapter 428: One Spot Left

Pan Tingting! It really was her!

Zhu Fei became completely excited.

He could never have imagined that he would encounter Pan Tingting in this place.

At that moment, everything about the auction, all the rules, were thrown to the back of his mind.

He had to see Pan Tingting!

With that thought, Zhu Fei suddenly stood up from his seat, startling Yun Duo who was sitting by his side.

"Brother Zhu... Brother Zhu, what’s...?"

Yun Duo looked at Zhu Fei in surprise, a bit confused.

Feeling Yun Duo’s gaze, Zhu Fei gradually came back to his senses from his earlier emotions.

He realized that he might have been a bit impulsive.

After all, he was at an auction, and if he rashly went to Pan Tingting’s private box, he might face severe punishment from the person in charge of the event.

Even with his connection to Situ Lie, the outcome might not be good.

Calm down! He had to stay calm!

Zhu Fei kept reminding himself.

Because he knew that if he were kicked out of the auction, finding Pan Tingting afterward would not be a simple task.

Moreover, the man and woman by Pan Tingting’s side didn’t seem like good news.

The man gloomy, the woman lascivious; he was almost certain that if he went to box number ten, those two would attack him.

Instead of taking that risk, it was better to wait and see how things unfolded and make his move as soon as they showed any intention to leave.

Once they were out of the auction, he could act without any concerns.

With this thought, Zhu Fei let out a long breath and finally sat back down.

"Brother Zhu... Brother Zhu, what was... what happened just now?"

Seeing Zhu Fei sit back down, Yun Duo, who had been anxious, finally felt a bit relieved.

Yet, her face was still full of concern, and her beautiful eyes flickered with a touch of nervousness.

Zhu Fei felt a warmth in his heart.

He reached out his hand and gently patted Yun Duo on the back to reassure her, "It’s nothing; don’t worry, let’s continue watching the auction."

"Mm."

Yun Duo obediently nodded her head. Although she was still slightly puzzled, she didn’t ask any further since Zhu Fei didn’t continue speaking.

At this moment, the Breakthrough Talisman had already been purchased by Pan Tingting for three million Mid Grade Spirit Stones.

In the time that followed, dozens of items went through the auction stage, each reaching a final bid of no less than five hundred thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones.

Unknowingly, the time had arrived at the early morning of the next day.

At this time, Gao Xuan held several tokens in his hand.

He began with a laugh, "The next items for auction are several spots for travel to the Beidou Domain. As everyone knows, there is a vast distance among the Three Great Domains of the Kunlun Xuan Realm."

"For a cultivator to traverse the Three Great Domains by flying on their own is nearly an impossible task, not to mention the time it would take, let alone the forbidden areas of the Doomsday Desert and Blood Sea Mountain which are beyond our reach."

"Therefore, these cross-domain spots that I will be auctioning, you should know their value; there are ten spots in total, each with a starting bid of two million Mid Grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand. Now we start the bidding for the first spot."

"Two million three hundred thousand!"

"Three million!"

"Three million five hundred thousand!"

...

In just a brief moment, the price for the first quota had soared to an imposing three million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, casting an ominous premonition in Zhu Fei’s heart, who was determined to win at this auction.

If his plan remained the same as initially—aiming to bid for just two quotas—then the price might not have been much of an issue.

But now that he had seen Pan Tingting, he was resolved to take her with him no matter what.

Consequently, the number of quotas he was bidding for increased from two to three.

This raised a critical question: did he have enough Spirit Stones to bid for three quotas?

"Four million!"

"Five million!"

...

As the price escalated further, Zhu Fei clenched his teeth and resolutely called out, "Ten million!"

After that, Zhu Fei summoned a maid waiting outside, handed her Situ Lie’s waist token, and said with a grave tone, "This is the Sect Leader Situ’s token. I need you to use this token to meet him and tell him that Yue Wu needs to borrow some Spirit Stones from him temporarily. I hope he can help me with this."

Although Zhu Fei believed that as long as he truly asked Situ Lie, he would certainly lend him the Spirit Stones,

his only concern at this point was whether there would be enough time.

If Situ Lie couldn’t provide the Spirit Stones before the auction of the quotas ended, even if he lent the Spirit Stones, it would be of no use.

Zhu Fei was not sure how much Situ Lie could influence the Transmission Array across domains.

But he dare not take that risk. Should anything unforeseen occur, it would lead to endless troubles.

After all, given his sensitive identity at the moment, he was unwilling to entrust both his and his companions’ fates to others and mere luck.

"Very well, young master, please wait a moment, I’ll go right now."

The maid clearly recognized the waist token of Situ Lie and without saying much, she bowed and promptly left.

"The ten million bid for the second time, ten million for the third! Congratulations to the guest in booth number eight for acquiring the first spot to the Beidou Domain!"

Just then, Gao Xuan’s auction gavel thunderously fell.

Following the removal of the token by a servant, the servant soon appeared in Zhu Fei’s booth.

He handed over the token to Zhu Fei, who accepted it and then the servant withdrew.

The auction continued...

Just as the second quota was about to be secured by Zhu Fei for five million, he felt a flicker of hope, only for Zhang Qian to interfere at this moment.

His voice rang out, proud and provocative,

"Seven million!"

Crack—a cup was suddenly crushed into pieces by Zhu Fei.

His eyes fixed fiercely on booth number thirteen, shooting forth a terrifying murderous intent.

Though he was aware that without Zhang Qian’s interference, he still might not have secured the second spot for five million,

those considerations seemed irrelevant now.

Zhang Qian’s repeated provocations had finally pushed Zhu Fei to his limit.

He had decided, if the opportunity arose, he would not let this man off the hook again.

With this in mind, Zhu Fei didn’t cease bidding but called out the price of ten million once more.

"Hehe, the friend in booth number eight is indeed generous; he bids ten million again, ten million for the first time, is there anyone else wishing to raise the bid? Ten million for the second time, ten million for the third! Congratulations to booth number eight for securing another spot!"

Finally, Gao Xuan’s auction hammer fell once again.

With this, Zhu Fei was just one spot short of perfectly achieving his goal in this auction.
