Chapter 290: Chapter 290- Star Whisker Grass (2)

That said, no matter how much he wanted it, he knew that true price of the Star Whisker Grass was beyond him. He could only stand by as a bystander while the others bid for it.

Tang Xun’er beside him, saw his expression and pondered something inside her head. Meanwhile, the price of the Star Whisker Grass continued to rise.

By now, it had already breached through the gold profound stone mark and was now valued at one Amethyst Profound Stone.

Of course, none of the people in the middle section were capable of taking out that kind of money just for the starting item. Much less needs to be said for the ones who were seating on the bottom section.

The bid for one amethyst stone came from the upper section of the seating arena where the VIPs were. Only influential sects like them who have dozens of years of accumulation and history, could take out something like that.

That said, the price of the Star Whisker Grass was far from reaching its peak. After one of the clans seated in the upper section called out their bid, the others also started calling out their bids.

In the blink of an eye, the price for the Star Whisker grass raised from One Amethyst Profound Stone to Two, and from Two to Three.

Needless to say, all of these bids were from the influential clans and factions.

Three Amethyst Profound Stones... this amounted to three thousand gold profound stones. Seated in his seat, Yang Chen couldn’t help but give a self depreciating laugh.

Compared to him who had a meagre amount of money and was still thinking of vying for treasures in this auction, the pockets of the big clans were deep and not something he could match.

Of course, it was not like he was poor. The treasury of the Zhang clan accumulated over the year was quite deep. However, all of them were treasures that cannot be liquidated easily.

Other than that, there were also numerous demonic beast carcasses. However, compared to profound stones, these carcasses were not liquid money and even exchanging them was quite a hassle since not every auction house or shop wanted to buy them.

"Ah, do I really have to see such a precious treasure go away just for a mere three amethyst profound stones?" Yang Chen sighed.

At this moment...

"Hey, if you really want that, I can buy it for you?" The girl’s voice sounded beside his ears.

Turning around, he saw Tang Xun’er observing him intently and noticing his every change in facial expression.

"That..." Yang Chen was momentarily lost before coming to a realisation.

This girl next to him whom he was travelling with, also had a very powerful and mysterious background. The money she held with her, was no less deep than the pockets of the influential clan.

Even at the inn, a couple of days ago she casually took out an Amethyst stone to pay for their living expense. Though he stopped her at the end, the fact couldn’t be denied that the girl was loaded.

That said, taking money from a girl he was trying to scheme against was something his conscience didn’t allow. Call it a needless pride or traume from his past life, he didn’t want to take money from this girl who was too credulous for her own good.

"No, I can’t possibly take money from you. The item may be something that I want; however, it is not something that I absolutely must possess. Since I don’t have the money, I can just let it go" Yang Chen shook his head.

"Hmm, but I have seen the look in your eyes, you really want that item don’t you?" Tang Xun’er spoke as if reading through his mind.

She was right, he really wanted this item. The Star Whisker Grass was not only a grade five mystical herb, it was also very difficult to find.

The fact that it appeared in the auction was already like luck favouring him. If he missed this chance, who knew when he would get to see one again? Even though he wanted it bad, he could not...

"Hmm" Tang Xun’er folded her hand and pondered. She could easily see that he was hesitating to take money from her.

Even though he could just ask for it from her, he was being stubborn about it. This was a side of him that was new to her. Usually, he was all modest, secretive and kept to himself.

Hardly did he show any emotions like that and in her many days of travel with him, she never saw him show any emotion.

"Alright, I have decided..." Tang Xunler spoke to herself.

"Decided what?..."

Yang Chen questioned. However, she did not answer him and instead raised her hand to bid.

"Four Amethyst profound stones".

Hearing her words, the audience instantly gasped. To raise the price by one amethyst stone directly it was only natural that the audience would be shocked.

Though that said, the price was only the partial reason for their shock, the real reason was the fact that the bid came from a place that was not in the upper section of the hall.

All eyes focused on the place where the bid came from.

"What are you doing?"

Yang Chen asked shocked at the girl’s sudden bid. Just like everyone else, he too was caught by surprise.

"Hm? I am bidding for the item of course. Since you desperately want it and don’t want to borrow money from me, I have decided to buy it for myself... Hehe" In response to his question, Tang Xun’er gave him a bright smile.

Buying it for herself? There is no way that is true. He could clearly see that she was doing it for him.

"Do you even know what that item is used for?"...

"I don’t"

As expected this girl, she bought it for him... sigh, another sigh escaped from Yang Chen’s mouth. Things transpired exactly how he didn’t want them to.

Although the shock that Tang Xun’er created took the audience by surprise, it only lasted for a while. Soon, they all turned around, losing interest.

It was especially so for those influential clans seated in the VIP section. Although they threw a curious look at her direction, that was all.
