Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Human Greed_1

Su ChengYu confirmed what he suspected - this old man was raising the price right and left, and reaping the benefits as others competed. It seemed like he had become a bit too greedy.

"Boy, this ho shou wu root is mine! Remember not to compete with me, I am loaded!"

Hou Kexin arrogantly declared.

Su ChengYu was determined to get this purple wisteria, it was too important to him to give up.

"Three million and five hundred thousand!" Su ChengYu continued to bid.

"You! Are you purposefully trying to oppose me? I’m warning you, if you offend me, you won’t have a good ending! Do you know who I am?" Hou Kexin angerly stated.

Su ChengYu chose not to pay her any mind, as Hou Kexin bit her teeth and bid, "Three million and eight hundred thousand!"

The onlookers were utterly shocked. No one had expected that a ho shou wu root could sell for three million and eight hundred thousand. Now, no one doubted that Su ChengYu was shill bidding; everyone was excitedly waiting to see how the bidding war would unfold.

"This lady is certainly extravagant. In my opinion, this ho shou wu root is destined to belong to you."

The old man was extremely pleased. After praising Hou Kexin, he turned to Su ChengYu and asked, "Young man, can you raise the price any further? If you don’t bid, I’m going to sell it to this lady."

Su ChengYu had little patience left and directly addressed the old man: "Old sir, earlier you were planning on selling to me for ninety thousand. I saw that you were of old age and probably living a difficult life, so I didn’t want to deceive you. I offered you three million directly. But aren’t you being too greedy? Besides, we agreed on a price before. There needs to be some honesty in dealing with others!"

"Exactly! This old man really doesn’t know to be grateful; he’s simply too greedy."

"This young man is indeed good-hearted—simply giving three million. He certainly deserves some gratitude."

"Greed will eat you alive. This old man is too greedy."

Those who had been watching the scene unfold were unhappy with the old man. They all blamed him, speaking up in favor of Su ChengYu.

"Young man, you can’t say it like that. This ho shou wu root is a precious item. It’s just that I didn’t recognize its worth earlier. If you were to buy it for ninety thousand, wouldn’t that prick your conscience?" replied the old man.

"Whether I have a conscience or not, everyone here is well aware. Talking about conscience with me, you sure have the guts to say it," Su ChengYu responded with a frown.

"Indeed, old sir! This young man is really kind-hearted, it would be best if you sell it to him. Otherwise, if it weren’t for him, your precious item would have just been sold for ninety thousand."

Many people tried to persuade the old man, but he stubbornly responded: "I don’t care! It’s highest bidder wins now. This lady bid three million and eight hundred thousand. If you can afford to compete, continue; if not, step aside."

"Boy, don’t compete with me, you won’t win," Hou Kexin taunted smugly.

Su ChengYu’s expression grew dark. His good intentions were wasted on this old man. He even entertained the thought of treating the old man’s illnesses. Now Su ChengYu realized how unpredictable people can be! The seemingly honest old man, was cunning and crafty when tempted by money.

"Old sir, how about this - I’ll offer five million, and you sell it to me directly. No more haggling over the price. Can it be done, seeing how I voluntarily raised the price earlier?"

Su ChengYu was tired of competing with Hou Kexin and earnestly made his offer.

The crowd was in an uproar, none of them had expected the value of a single ho shou wu root to suddenly increase to five million.

Chagrined, many of them secretly regretted not buying the root from the old man earlier, instantly making a profit of five million!

The old man was overwhelmingly excited by Su ChengYu’s words. He had never seen so much money in his entire life. Internally, he was celebrating his sudden windfall.

However, the more money Su ChengYu offered, the greedier the old man became. He wanted to squeeze out more money, so he turned to Hou Kexin and asked, "Miss, he offered five million now, can you add more?"

"Shameless! The old man is shameless. This young man is offering you five million, it’s already more than generous. He’s not giving you an excuse to raise the price."

The spectators couldn’t stand idly by any longer, they began criticizing the old man.

"None of your damn business! This is my item. I can sell it to whomever I want," the old man shouted.

Hou Kexin’s face darkened. She knew that this ho shou wu root was valuable. Three million was already an astronomical price. Now, Su ChengYu had suddenly pushed the price to five million, and Hou Kexin thought it wasn’t worth it. However, she wasn’t ready to give up so easily.

"You wretched boy! Are you looking for a death wish? I’ve set my sights on this ho shou wu root. You must yield it to me, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Unwilling to spend five million for it, Hou Kexin could only threaten Su ChengYu, displaying an arrogant attitude.

"I am determined to have this, there is no way I am yielding it to you."

Su ChengYu’s position was clear too, he would not back down.

"You’re asking for a beatdown!"

Ancered, Hou Kexin clenched her fist and struck Su ChengYu right in the face.

Su ChengYu raised his hand to deflect Hou Kexin’s blow. He could feel that her punch was infused with considerable Inner Strength.

This girl was indeed someone who practices martial arts, and even cultivated Inner Strength. Given her age, around twenty years old, it was certainly quite impressive.

"You arrogant brat! Since you choose to compete with me, then I will break your legs. How dare you oppose me? You are overstepping your boundaries!"

Hou Kexin was aggressive and conceited. She was used to having her way and believed in her strength. Among her peers in Lin Jiang, she was rarely defeated, let alone looked upon Su ChengYu.

Hou Kexin’s strength was Third-grade master level. In a place like Lin Jiang, she was already considered a top expert.

However, it was unfortunate that she met Su ChengYu and was destined to suffer a loss on the spot.

"So if you can’t beat me, you will stop competing with me?" Su ChengYu indifferently said.

"What did you say? I can’t beat you? What a joke! Who do you think you are exactly? I am a master of Inner Strength. Running into me is your misfortune! I said I would break your leg today, and I will keep my word!"

Hou Kexin snorted coldly and kicked at Su ChengYu’s head.

Hou Kexin’s leg was long and well-proportioned, it was evident she specialized in leg techniques. The angle and force of her kick were both quite good.

Su ChengYu estimated that even Shi Pojin, who was slain by him, wouldn’t be a match for Hou Kexin!

Su ChengYu stood in place unmoving, raising his right hand to block Hou Kexin’s kick.

"This lady turns out to be a master of Inner Strength. It seems she certainly has a big background, no wonder she is so arrogant."

"I really pity this young man. Who did he provoke? He clearly made a good offer first and was sincere. Now, he couldn’t buy the item and still had to get beaten."

The spectators dispersed a bit, and the old man, holding the purple wisteria, hid to one side.

Hou Kexin practiced the job of "Chasing Wind and Lost Leg." This technique was swift and powerful, extremely fast. Once performed, legs cast multiple shadows, leaving her opponents incapable of responding!

But Su ChengYu’s strength was much more potent than Hou Kexin’s. No matter how exquisite her leg technique was, it couldn’t match Su ChengYu.
