Chapter 695 I’m Not Used to Spending Women’s Money

Qin Haodong considered the idea carefully several times and thought that it could work. Then he turned back to the room and said to the two girls, “Do you know where the auction house is in the capital? The bigger the better. I’m going to sell something.”

He had just arrived in the capital and was not familiar with the situation here. But the two girls were locals and they should know where the biggest auction house was.

Seeing that he was looking for an auction house, Wei Yanran immediately misunderstood him. She thought that he had to sell some items in order to prepare funds for the elopement.

She was moved and said, “You don’t have to do this. I have enough money for us to live together.”

As the eldest daughter of the Wei family, she had never been short of pocket money. She had saved about tens of millions over the past years.

Qin Haodong was stunned at first, but he soon understood what she was thinking about. He said with a smile, “Just keep your money. I’m not used to spending women’s money.”

Hua Mingrui said, “My uncle runs an auction house and it’s also the largest one in the capital. It’s called the Treasure-gathering Auction House. I can take you there if you want to sell something.”

“That’s great.”

Qin Haodong was excited to hear that it was the largest auction house in the capital. Only such a big house could attract the disciples from the Seven Great Families. The pills may not attract any buyers in an ordinary auction house.

He said, “I want to sell some pills, but I don’t want anyone to know who I am.”

He had just decided that the auction must be kept a secret before he announced the secret of the alien monsters.

Otherwise, the Seven Great Families of the capital would be suspicious if they knew that the pills were made by him. They would not even offer to buy them.

After all, those pills which could improve their cultivation were precious and they would not sell them no matter how much money they could get.

“It’s easy to keep it a secret. I’m quite familiar with the housekeeper and I just need to tell him.”

Hua Mingrui said, “But I don’t think you need to sell those pills. The painting you’ve just made could be sold at a sky-high price on the market.”

When she finished speaking, Wei Yanran suddenly held the painting tightly and said nervously, “This painting is mine. I can’t sell it. I won’t sell it no matter how expensive it is.”

She had already regarded it as a love token given by Qin Haodong, which was even more important than her life. She would never sell it.

Hua Mingrui smiled and said, “You silly girl, we’re not going to sell that one. Haodong is good at drawing and he can just paint one more and then sell it.”

Qin Haodong shook his head with a wry smile and said, “I can make paintings of Painting Meaning, but it’s quite hard for me. It’s different from drawing ordinary painting scrolls. I need inspiration.”

He was not lying. The reason why he was able to draw this painting was that he had been inspired by Wei Yanran’s beautiful smile. He couldn’t make similar works without the inspiration.

“Sorry, I am too impatient.”

Hua Mingrui smiled apologetically and then said, “I believe that your works can also be sold at a high price even if it doesn’t have the Painting Meaning.”

Qin Haodong could actually make a few paintings and sell them if he just wanted to earn some money. But he still needed to help the Seven Great Families to improve their cultivation. Therefore, selling pills was his best choice.

“I think art is priceless. Pills can cure diseases and save lives. It’s a better option.”

Hua Mingrui looked embarrassed and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mr. Qin. It’s a bad idea.”

Then she glanced at the clock on the wall and said, “My uncle will be holding a large-scale auction today and it’s all high-quality items. It will start at nine o’clock in the evening. It’s almost time. Let’s hurry up.”

Five minutes later, Qin Haodong and the other two walked out of the tea house together. Wei Yanran took his arm naturally. She felt very much at ease with him.

According to Hua Mingrui’s request, Qin Haodong wore a big hat and a large pair of sunglasses. No one would recognize him if they did not look too closely at him.

Wei Yanran was not aware of his real identity yet and she had been planning to elope, so she had made some changes to her clothes. She was wearing Hua Mingrui’s clothes and a pair of sunglasses.

The three of them came to the Treasure-gathering Auction House, which was definitely the largest one in the capital. It was much bigger than the one in Shanghai.

The security guards here were very familiar with Hua Mingrui and they directly let them in without making too many inquiries.

She went backstage and went straight to Wu Mufeng, the manager in charge of the auction.

Wu Mufeng asked her politely, “Miss, welcome here. Are you here to look for any interesting items?”

“I’m not here to buy things, I’m here to sell something.” Hua Mingrui pointed to Qin Haodong and said, “My friend wants to sell something at our auction.”

Wu Mufeng said, “No problem. What do you want to sell?”

Qin Haodong took out the Big Strengthening Pills, Energy-gathering Pills and Spirit Culturing Pills, one by one and then said, “Please help me sell these three types of pills. But you have to follow my orders.”

Then he gave him some instructions about the auction method.

Wu Mufeng asked, “Which famous master made these pills?”

Qin Haodong shook his head and said, “It’s a secret, all you need to do is to sell them.”

“Well…”

Wu Mufeng said with embarrassment, “If it was not made by famous masters, you may not get the price you want. If we can’t sell them successfully, it will be quite embarrassing”

Qin Haodong thought for a moment and said, “Let’s just do it. Lower the price to 100,000 yuan for each.”

Wu Mufeng was filled with contempt and did not know why these black pills could be sold for 100,000 yuan each. It seemed that Qin was reluctant to lower the price. Would there really be a buyer?

However, this man came here with Miss Hua and he couldn’t lose his temper and show his real emotion.

“I’m afraid this won’t work. The Boss might blame me…”

Hua Mingrui said, “Just do as my friend says. I’ll handle my uncle.”

“All right.” After a moment of hesitation, Wu Mufeng finally agreed.

He had been working in the auction house for many years and he was clear that Hua Mingrui, the niece of his boss, was the most beloved granddaughter of the old Master.

He labeled Qin Haodong’s pills and gave them to the staff beside him. Then he led Qin Haodong and the other two into a private room.

The private room was specially prepared for the distinguished guests who did not want their identities exposed. Sitting here, they could see the entire house clearly.

There was also a one-way glass. They could see everything from inside, but those standing outside did not know what was going on here.

After asking the staff to bring in fruits and snacks, Wu Mufeng left the room.

The three of them were sitting on the sofa and it was almost time for the auction to begin. There were hundreds of people gathered there.

Qin Haodong sneered at the sight of a person in the front VIP seats. It was Chu Xuanming, who had just left the Tang Sect. He believed that the pills would definitely be sold at a high price with him here.

Wei Yanran was also observing all the guests present. But suddenly her expression changed and even her hands, which were entwined around Qin’s arms, stiffened.

Qin Haodong sensed a change in her. He turned around and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Wei Yanran said nervously, “My dad is also here. If he sees us together, we will be in big trouble. We can’t leave the capital then.”

Qin Haodong smiled. It was a good thing that there were members of the Wei family. They would definitely buy his pills.

He said, “Don’t be nervous. Don’t forget that this is a one-way glass. They can’t see us at all.”

“Oh, you’re right!” Wei Yanran relaxed a little, but she still added, “Haodong, maybe we should leave now. Just forget about those pills. I have enough money for us to live together.”

“Don’t worry. We’re already here and the auction will begin soon.”

“Well then, let’s stay here.”

Wei Yanran nodded, but her hands, which were holding Qin Haodong’s arm, became even more rigid. She was obviously a little nervous.

At this time, a young man walked into the auction house. Hua Mingrui said, “It’s Yan Zicheng and he’s also here.”

Hearing that he was a member of the Yan family, Qin Haodong suddenly thought of Yan Feifei and felt upset. He didn’t mind that this woman was a few years older than him, but he cared about his mother’s opinion.

After all, they had been rivals in love back then. And he didn’t know whether her mother could accept Yan Feifei as her daughter-in-law.

The auction officially began as his mind wandered. The host and the auctioneer walked up to the stage together.

With a microphone in his hand, the host said to the guests, “Before we get started, I have good news to share with you guys. There’s another special item put up for auction tonight.

“They are magical pills. And we have three kinds here: the Big Strengthening Pill, Energy-gathering Pill, and Spirit Culturing Pill.”

“Among them, the Big Strengthening Pill could increase the cultivation of a warrior at the level of Covert Power by one level. The Energy-gathering Pill could increase the cultivation of a grand master below the third grade by one level. The Spirit Culturing Pill could increase the cultivation of a grand master below the sixth grade by one level.”

“Of course, the Spirit Culturing Pill is also effective for a grand master of or above the sixth grade. But it’s different for those below the sixth grade, they need a few more to improve their cultivation.”

Everyone present became excited after hearing what he said. Most of the people who participated in the auction today were disciples of aristocratic families in the capital, and many of them were martial artists. They were excited after learning about the effects of these pills.

But then someone raised his voice and shouted, “Which master made these pills? Are they of high-quality?”

The others also echoed his questions. After all, they had never seen such effective pills before.

It was a good thing to improve one’s cultivation, but it would be bad if they bought fake drugs. The practitioners may even get Qi Deviation without making any progress.

The host added, “According to the requirements of the auctioneer, the information of these pills must be kept a secret and we can’t tell you the maker’s information…”

Before he even finished this, the audiences immediately protested, “Who would dare to buy these pills without the maker’s information? What if we get fake drugs?”

The host quickly said, “Please calm down. In order to increase everyone’s trust, we suggest that the first person to bid take the pill in public. If the pill does not work, he will refund your money with extra compensation.”

When they heard that the pills could be taken on spot and they would get compensation if it didn’t work, the audience immediately calmed down and looked forward to buying the pills mentioned by the host.

Sitting in the front row, Chu Xuanming immediately became excited after learning the name of the pill.
