Chapter 888: Chapter 889 Jiangnan Huo Family

The crowd was abuzz, with everyone looking at Chen Si as if they were watching a spendthrift squandering his fortune; however, nobody voiced a reminder.

"Guo Chuyun, look..." Hearing Chen Si call out the high price of one million, Little Demon nearly fainted from excitement, feeling as if happiness had come too suddenly.

Guo Chuyun listened but showed no reaction. He knew that the raw stone contained about one jin of Blood Jade. If it were priced according to the market twenty years ago, Chen Si’s one million was simply not enough.

Moreover, twenty years had passed since then, and Blood Jade had long become priceless. How could he possibly care about Chen Si’s offer?

Without further ado, Guo Chuyun waved his hand, ready to ask the cutter to proceed. It was then that He Biqiu, still spreading his fingers, spoke indifferently, "It seems you already know what’s inside the raw stone. Since that’s the case, I’ll bid five million. Kid, the Blood Jade inside surely can’t be too large; five million is already astronomical. I’d like to see how you’ll compete with me!"

As he spoke, even a trace of a cold smile appeared on He Biqiu’s face. In the eyes of the crowd, he seemed even more arrogant than Chen Si.

"Blood Jade?"

"No wonder it turned red; so the jade stone inside the raw stone is Blood Jade!"

"The legendary treasure!"

He Biqiu’s words caused many to involuntarily gasp in shock.

Chen Si’s gaze became more intense, and he glared fiercely at He Biqiu.

He had not expected He Biqiu to reveal their secret.

The weight of the Blood Jade, over one jin, was of no concern to Chen Si. What he really cared about was the hidden value of the Blood Jade.

Not long ago, the Chen Family had acted against the Mo Family, also one of the five major families, seizing their piece of Blood Jade.

Back then, the value of over ten jins of Blood Jade was estimated to be twenty billion. Although this piece was just over one jin, reaching one or two billion wasn’t an issue.

But why would that foolish Biqiu blatantly speak it out!

Chen Si couldn’t comprehend and was even more baffled.

However, now was not the time to ponder these things. He took a deep breath, knowing that if he didn’t take measures, the Blood Jade might slip through his fingers.

With a single finger still raised, Chen Si gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "I didn’t expect you could afford five million, which does surprise me. But if you want to compare wealth with me, you really aren’t looking at the big picture. Ten million, I offer ten million!"

A buzz...

Following Chen Si’s words, all the onlookers immediately exclaimed.

Just now, when He Biqiu bid five million, his explanation that the stone contained Blood Jade meant everyone was shocked by this legendary treasure and overlooked He Biqiu’s bid.

But now, Chen Si had suddenly raised the price to ten million, genuinely shocking everyone.

Indeed, it was a treasure without market price.

Ten million for over one jin of Blood Jade was actually not too expensive compared to the price twenty years ago; Chen Si’s bid didn’t increase that much.

"Haha, so it’s the wise nephew Chen here!" Just then, a hearty laugh suddenly echoed.

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Si’s expression subtly changed, and he hurriedly looked towards the crowd.

At that moment, the crowd quickly parted, allowing a group of distinguished-looking individuals to step in. The person at the forefront, a man in his forties with an imposing face, glanced at Chen Si with a faint smile. Chen Si hurriedly bowed and greeted, "Uncle Huo."

"Haha, no need for formalities. I truly didn’t expect to encounter the legendary Blood Jade here. It seems my trip to Kang County has been quite worthwhile!" The middle-aged man, Huo Yunjin, rubbed his hands together and remarked with a beaming smile.

Hearing this, Chen Si’s expression darkened further, and he awkwardly chuckled, "Uncle Huo, why should you bother competing with someone younger like me. If you could let this piece of Blood Jade go today, once I return home, rest assured I’ll report to my ancestor, and we’ll surely compensate you!"

"Compensate?" Upon hearing that, Huo Yunjin’s face revealed a playful smile, "Nephew Chen Si, are you truly unaware of the Blood Jade’s use? It would seem so. Although you are the rightful heir of the Chen Family, the real secrets of the family, your ancestor might not necessarily have told you. Let me put it this way; I am definitely going to secure this Blood Jade. If you have objections, nephew, you can bring your ancestor to discuss it with the Huo Family!"

It appeared that Huo Yunjin also knew the hidden secrets of the Blood Jade.

Li Changlin supported his chin, his eyes gleaming.

He had made He Biqiu show up and cause a disturbance, a move that was proving correct.

"In that case, we’ll see the truth through competition. Uncle Huo, since I’ve already bid ten million and you’re interested, please make your offer," Chen Si said straightforwardly, seeing that Huo Yunjin was clearly determined to compete with him. He made a welcoming gesture.

Huo Yunjin chuckled and then slowly lifted a finger, saying lightly, "Ten million and you dare to mention it? I’ll bid one hundred million. Young man, I am Huo Yunjin from Jiangnan. I believe you must have heard of my name. One hundred million for your raw stone. Transfer it to me, and you will be a friend of the Huo Family. We will ensure your safety for a lifetime!"

The Jiangnan Huo Family was indeed illustrious. Although not one of the Eight Great Families, it was rumored that the Huo Family represented a major sect from a Different World within the secular society, holding immense power. Even the Eight Great Families had to show them some respect.

Guo Chuyun from the Capital’s Guo Family was, of course, well aware of the Huo Family’s reputation.

Thus, hearing Huo Yunjin’s words, he was already tempted.

"Uncle Huo, it’s really difficult for this younger one when you do this!" However, before Guo Chuyun could speak up, Chen Si had already said darkly, "Two billion. The Chen Family offers two billion. And brother, whatever Uncle Huo promises you, the Chen Family can do the same. Let me tell you, our Chen Family ancestor is a Peak Virtual Energy master. Moreover, just like the Huo Family, we represent the Taixu Sect in the secular world!"

Chen Si’s statement was peculiar, and many didn’t understand. Tang Ying, standing beside Li Changlin, was visibly shocked and murmured to herself, "Indeed, I didn’t expect it to be true, just as Young Master Cheng said. The Chen Family truly harbors great ambitions!"
