321 Lousy Stone

So what if he was embarrassed? He could not give Old Master Cui a chance to suppress the Zhou Family, right? He did not expect Old Master Cui to be so narrow-minded.

Old Master Cui did not know what was going on in Elder Zhou’s heart at all. When he heard no response from the other party, he was secretly happy. Who asked him to show off so much just now and make him afraid? He naturally had to mock him back.

Gu Man chuckled when she heard Old Master Cui’s voice.

When Xiang Yin heard this, he turned around. “Is Old Master Cui deliberately suppressing the Zhou Family?”

!!
Xiang Yin did not know Old Master Cui well, but his words just now were indeed ambiguous. Although Old Master Cui was just taking revenge on Elder Zhou for showing off just now, it sounded different to outsiders.

Everyone knew that Old Master Cui was now the person behind the ghost market, but he insisted on making things difficult for the ghost market. Wasn’t he forcing Old Zhou to make things difficult for the ghost market with him? It just so happened that the Cui Family could use this opportunity to suppress the Zhou Family.

Xiang Yin guessed the same thing. However, they did not expect that Old Master Cui was actually a very childish person. The only person who could guess Old Master Cui’s thoughts was probably Gu Man.

Hearing Xiang Yin’s question, Gu Man found it even funnier. Old Master Cui probably did not realize that his words had long been taken as another meaning.

“No, he’s just unhappy with Elder Zhou showing off just now.”

There were only Gu Man and Xiang Yin in the room. Gu Man could tell that the woman behind her was anxious to leave, so she let her go. With outsiders around, she felt a little uncomfortable. After she left, she no longer had any worries.

Xiang Yin was a little surprised, but it made sense to hear it from Gu Man. He did not seem to expect Old Master Cui to be so childish. He chuckled. “What do you think Elder Zhou will do in the end?”

“I’m afraid he’s misunderstood Old Master Cui’s intentions like you. As long as the manager gives him a way out, he’ll definitely take it.”

As if to confirm Gu Man’s words, just as the manager spoke, before the manager could finish, Elder Zhou said anxiously, “Just do as the auction says. I’m not a calculative person.”

Even if it was to escape, Elder Zhou did not forget to step on Old Master Cui. There was nothing wrong with his words, but he was secretly mocking Old Master Cui for being a calculative person.

When Old Master Cui heard this, he was even angrier. If Cui Hong had not stopped him, he would have rushed over.

“What’s wrong with Elder Zhou?! He’s so bored that he always steps on me!”

The feud between the two of them did not only happen today, but it had been formed long ago. It was just that most of the time, the Zhou Family was the one who started this feud. They mocked the Cui Family openly and secretly, as if they felt that by doing this, they could replace the Cui Family’s position and advance.

The two of them often bickered. It was a tacit truth in the industry.

Cui Hong looked at Old Master Cui and comforted him. “You’re magnanimous and won’t argue with him.”

Old Master Cui snorted and ignored Cui Hong’s words.

Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, the manager hurriedly sent the stone down to the next item.

When the next item was sent up, it was covered with a layer of red velvet fabric. It looked mysterious, but Gu Man sat up straight the moment the item was sent up.

There was powerful spiritual energy beneath the red velvet cloth that was even comparable to the previous meteorite.

Her eyes were like torches as she stared straight at the red velvet fabric on the screen.

Gu Man’s abnormality naturally did not escape Xiang Yin’s gaze. For a moment, the thing under the red velvet cloth also piqued Xiang Yin’s curiosity. What could make Gu Man so excited?

He looked up at the middle of the screen. The manager slowly lifted the red velvet fabric. There was only an ordinary stone inside. The stone was ordinary, and it even gave people the feeling that it was casually picked up from the roadside by the auction.

As soon as the stone appeared, it immediately caused everyone’s dissatisfaction.

“What’s this? How can this lousy stone be placed second to last?”

“Is this auction deliberately playing with us? Do you think we’re fools? You can send any lousy stone up for auction, right?”
