Chapter 588: Chapter 588: When the forest is big, all kinds of birds will be found!

"To ask for over ten million for such a small effort, you’re indeed a bit too greedy!"

"Exactly, doctors are supposed to treat and save people as a matter of course. And you’re still asking for a finder’s fee; isn’t that just a total lack of professional ethics?"

"Young man, five million isn’t a small amount, you should just take it quickly!"

"If I were you, I’d be overjoyed just to have five million in hand, hahahaha..."

All around, there were voices of cold ridicule and derision.

After all, they all depended on Lian Rentang for their business in medicinal materials, and naturally, they sided with Lian Qigang at this moment.

Qin Hongyu’s chest heaved violently with anger as she pointed at the people around her and cursed, "You people really know how to talk nonsense, don’t you? What’s wrong with asking for ten million for that little effort? Don’t forget, in just a moment, Chen Xuan saved Elder Master Lian’s life!"

"If it were you, as long as it saved your life, not to mention ten million, even a hundred million, you’d be willing, right?"

"To so blatantly break a promise and then talk as if you’re righteous, you bunch of men aren’t ashamed at all! It’s fucking disgusting!"

As the daughter of a marquis and a young lady used to getting her way, Qin Hongyu had never experienced such frustration. Seeing Chen Xuan being squeezed like this, she indeed couldn’t stand it anymore and burst out swearing.

The crowd didn’t expect Qin Hongyu to be so sharp-tongued, and they were all rendered speechless by her retorts.

Chen Xuan could only shake his head helplessly, not expecting Lian Qigang to be so narrow-minded and deceitful.

However, his main goal at the moment was to get the Revival Grass, not to argue with the other party.

Thus, Chen Xuan spoke up directly, "Fine, since you’re unwilling to give me the Revival Grass, I won’t insist. You claim it’s worth fifteen million, so I’ll give you the money and buy it from you right now. That should be alright, shouldn’t it?"

Qin Hongyu immediately took exception, "Why should you? He already agreed to give you the Revival Grass, and it’s yours by right. Why should you still have to pay him?!"

Chen Xuan gestured to Qin Hongyu to stop her from saying more.

Qin Hongyu, indignant, crossed her arms and kept silent.

Lian Qigang raised an eyebrow, "Are you seriously considering spending fifteen million to buy this Revival Grass?"

Chen Xuan nodded, "That’s right, as long as you agree, I can give you the money now!"

Lian Qigang, however, seemed to delight in mocking others, and smirked, "You want to buy it? I’m not even selling!"

"I already said it, fifteen million is just the starting auction price for this Revival Grass, the final amount it goes for is not guaranteed yet."

"If you really want it, then bid for it with your own ability, right?"

"You..." Even someone as patient as Chen Xuan felt the anger at this moment.

This Third Master Lian sure doesn’t know what’s good for him!

Lian Qigang, seeing Chen Xuan speechless with anger, felt extremely satisfied.

"Alright then, this check was your own refusal to accept. Since that’s the case, I’ll take it back!"

With that, Lian Qigang actually put the check for five million back into his pocket and strutted away with his men.

In this way, Chen Xuan’s saving of Elder Master Lian’s life was taken for granted by Lian Qigang without spending a dime.

"This asshole!"

Qin Hongyu was so angry she jumped up and down, having never met anyone so shameless in her life!

Chen Xuan also shook his head helplessly, thinking that indeed there was all kind of birds in a big forest!

However, even though Lian Qigang was unwilling to part with the Revival Grass, Chen Xuan was still determined to have it.

This Revival Grass is his to claim, no one can snatch it away!

At that moment, Fang Chengqian came over to Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, I am truly sorry that you had to suffer such humiliation for no reason! I really did not expect Third Master Lian, the junior butler of Lian Rentang, to be such a treacherous and unfaithful person!"

Fang Chengqian shook his head and sighed, clearly feeling guilty about having involved Chen Xuan in the matter of volunteering to save someone earlier.

Chen Xuan responded with a light smile, "Miracle Doctor Fang, you need not apologize, this matter has nothing to do with you!"

At this moment.

"Dong..." The sound of a gong signaled the auction was about to begin.

Fang Chengqian hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, I have a private room up front, if you don’t mind, would you and the young lady please come and rest there for a while? What do you think?"

Chen Xuan nodded, "Then thank you very much!"

Afterward, Chen Xuan and Qin Hongyu followed Fang Chengqian to a row of private rooms at the front of the auction.

Not long after Chen Xuan and the others had left, another group of people arrived late.

It was none other than Ye Congling and Mo Yucheng.

"Junior Sister Ye, rest assured, our people have already sealed off Qingshan Town, and I believe it won’t be long before we find those two who bullied you!"

Mo Yucheng’s smile was full of charm, presenting the image of a modest gentleman.

Ye Congling nodded, then added, "Senior Brother Mo, didn’t the sect leader entrust you with an important task for your visit to Qingshan Town? We should still prioritize the essential matters!"

Mo Yucheng smiled lightly and said with ease, "You’re right, my father sent me here indeed for a medicinal herb. However, given the strength of Blood Saber Sect, a mere medicinal herb is but a trifle in the grand scheme."

Ye Congling nodded, "That’s good to hear! I’ve heard that the sect leader places great importance on this matter, and I believe that once this is handled well, Senior Brother Mo’s position as Junior Sect Leader should be naturally secured, right?"

Mo Yucheng smiled proudly, "Of course! But rest assured, Junior Sister Ye, once I become the Junior Sect Leader of Blood Saber Sect, I will definitely have the capability to take even greater care of you..."

Mo Yucheng’s words were already hinting at something to Ye Congling.

Ye Congling was not foolish, and naturally understood Mo Yucheng’s intentions.

In fact, she was not averse to Mo Yucheng’s pursuit. If he could really secure the position of Junior Sect Leader of the Blood Saber Sect, she would definitely accept his offer immediately!

"Then I will look forward to it!" Ye Congling smiled enchantingly.

Afterwards, Mo Yucheng led Ye Congling into one of the private rooms at the front.

Before long, the auction began officially.

An auctioneer took the stage and gave a brief introduction to the items being auctioned today.

There were a total of more than a dozen items today, all of which were rare and precious medicinal herbs that were hard to come by.

The starting prices for these herbs were all several millions, with the most precious among them being the Revival Grass!

Reportedly, this Revival Grass was also found inadvertently by a herbal farmer in the deep mountains and was said to be a once-in-a-century find, naturally attracting the desire of many medicine merchants.

These merchants didn’t really understand the use of the Revival Grass; most of them were interested in it mostly as a mere art piece.

Nonetheless, a starting bid of fifteen million had also kept most of the medicine merchants out of the competition.

As the auction progressed, those dozen or so items were quickly sold, with the lowest transaction price being five million, and the highest item even reaching twenty million!

Such prices were already considered very high!

At this point, there was only the last item left on stage, the Revival Grass!
