Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Madam Bai frowned and said, "Old man, what are you thinking?"

Master Bai stroked his beard and said, "Nothing much! I just think this sword is good. If Wanwan wants to learn swordsmanship in the future, how can we do it without a suitable sword?"

Everyone was silent. Li Dongyang curled his lips and said, "Wanwan has only been a few months old. Aren't you overthinking it?"

Master Bai looked at him and said, "Why am I overthinking this? She looks so young to you, but she'll grow up in a few years. You don't understand..."

"Okay, I don't understand." Li Dongyang rolled his eyes.

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "It's okay. We still have a lot of banknotes! We've spent them all. If there are no more banknotes, we still have gold. We can use it. We brought two boxes with us."

To be honest, along the way, there wasn't much else, but banknotes, gold, and silver were the most.

If you don’t need it now, when will you wait?

Lin Wanwan initially thought that Master Bai wanted to steal the evil gang’s things, but now it seems that’s not the case.

She had underestimated their gains along the way, and rightly so! Just in the secret room alone, they had already obtained a lot of gold, not to mention all kinds of banknotes.

Those banknotes were light to begin with, and some wooden boxes were full of them.

I originally thought these gangs were quite rich, but suddenly I found out that I am not as rich as them.

Mrs. Bai took out the banknotes and kept counting them. Finally, she said:

"Here are twenty silver notes of five thousand taels each, twelve silver notes of ten thousand taels each, and two boxes of gold.

Old man, you have to buy carefully."

Master Bai nodded, the auctioneer raised his hand to signal, and two servants carefully carried a guqin onto the auction table.

The main body of the instrument is made of century-old paulownia wood, and the bottom of the instrument is made of rare zelkova wood, which has a calm color and fine texture.

On both sides of the instrument body, there are intricate peony patterns and layers of petals carved to look lifelike.

The auctioneer gently stroked the body of the instrument, his eyes sincere and his voice clear:

“This zither is called Liuyun Jiuxiao, and it was crafted by a master zither maker with extraordinary skills and dedication.

From finding this rare and fine material in the world to spending countless days and nights carefully carving it, every step is the result of hard work.

The master is extremely strict in selecting materials. The paulownia and zelkova woods used for the body of the instrument are both taken from deep mountains and old forests. They are selected after years of drying in the shade and repeated selection.

The strings are carefully selected from numerous silks, and then woven and polished with unique techniques.

On the day the zither was completed, the music was melodious and the beauty of its tone was rarely seen in the world."

After saying this, the auctioneer sat down in front of the piano and gently plucked the strings. A melodious melody flowed slowly in the auction hall.

"It sounds nice, good, good..." Mrs. Bai knows about the piano.

In the Red Flame Sect, a petite girl tugged at the sleeve of her senior sister next to her and said with longing, "Sister, I think the sound of this zither is so beautiful. I want this one."

The senior sister looked down at her, her eyes full of doting, and said softly, "Okay, let's try our best."

The auctioneer looked at this scene, his smile widening, and he announced loudly:

"It seems everyone is very fond of this Liuyun Jiuxiao Guqin. Now let's move on to the auction!

This zither is the product of countless efforts. The starting price is 8000 taels. Each bid must be no less than 500 taels. The bidding begins!

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience immediately became lively.

"I'll offer 8500 taels!" A middle-aged man in a gray robe was the first to bid. He was a well-known zither fanatic in the world. In order to find a good zither, he was willing to spend a lot of money.

The senior sister from the Red Flame Sect was not willing to be outdone and immediately shouted, "9000 taels!"

"Two!" The piano fanatic frowned and raised the price again. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, which showed that he was determined to get the piano.

At this time, a seemingly inconspicuous old man in the corner said slowly: "Two."

The senior sister of the Red Flame Sect gritted her teeth and shouted, "Two!"

The little girl next to him nervously clutched the corner of her clothes, staring at the guqin on the stage without blinking, her little face slightly flushed with excitement.

"Two." Qin Chi's voice was a little trembling, and his hands were clenched into fists tightly, as if he had used up all his strength.

The old man looked calm and raised the price again: "Two."

The senior sister looked at the little girl who was waiting beside her, then looked at the purse in her hand, feeling a little hesitant.

But seeing the desire in the little girl's eyes, she hardened her heart and shouted, "Two!"

The piano fanatic had a conflicted look on his face. He touched his wallet, then sighed helplessly and gave up the bidding.

The old man looked towards the direction of the Red Flame Sect, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and then he raised the price again: "Two."

The elder sister's heart tightened. She was running low on silver. Just as she was wondering what to do, the leader of the Red Flame Sect, who had been standing behind her, slowly stepped forward and whispered, "Two."

Her voice was not loud, but it carried an authority that could not be ignored.

The old man was slightly stunned, looking at the leader of the Red Flame Sect. After thinking for a moment, he bowed and said, "The Red Flame Sect is determined to obtain this zither, so I will not compete with you."

Just as the auctioneer's raised gavel was about to drop heavily, a crisp bell suddenly broke the tense atmosphere.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, their eyes focused on the elegant private room.

Master Bai said slowly, "Two."

On the side of the Red Flame Sect, the faces that were originally filled with smiles froze in an instant, and the little girl's eyes widened.

The leader of the Red Flame Sect took a deep breath, looked upstairs and said:

"My little girl loves this guitar so much that she almost pines for it.

I wonder if the distinguished guest upstairs could be so kind as to part with this zither?"

Master Bai frowned and said:

“I’m really sorry, my granddaughter and this zither have a deep connection.

She has been obsessed with the art of playing the zither since she was young. When she heard that this zither had come into the world, she was eager to get it and study it carefully under a famous teacher.

I came here to fulfill her wish, so naturally I can't give her up."

The girl's face flushed red with anger. She wiped her tears with her sleeves and cried out in a sobbing voice:

"You old man, why are you so unreasonable?

It was obviously us who saw it first, and we were just a little bit away from having this piano. What gives you the right to interfere?

Humph, you said your granddaughter likes it, but I think you just want it and are making excuses!"

Master Bai was speechless, too lazy to talk any more. The auctioneer said, "This zither was acquired by the Tianzi No. 1 family."

The little girl glared at Master Bai angrily. Master Bai sneered, "This girl is quite interesting. Isn't the rule of this auction house that the highest bidder wins? Why is it that this doesn't work here?"

Wang Fa murmured softly:

"Baiyin, take it easy, these are all big sects.

If they come after us, we old men won’t be strong enough to fight them off.”

Master Bai stroked his beard and said, "Not really, is it? They wouldn't take such a small matter like this so seriously, would they?"

The guy next to him coughed and said:

"The Red Flame Sect and the Evil Gang are the two most difficult gangs to deal with, and you have offended both of them at once.

But don’t offend anyone else. After the auction is over, quickly find a place to hide…”
