“What? The Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade is yours? Are you running a fever?” Lu Changwei rolled his eyes at Chen Xiaobei. “Even if I don’t bid for it, the other three Star Temple people won’t pass up the chance of owning this rare Spiritual Item! Who are you to say that you are definitely going to win this bid?”

“That’s right!” Qin Luoshu nodded. “Mister, even though you are an expert in Sumukhwa, I must fight to get my hands on this unusual and powerful Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade!”

Wei Ruilong smiled and said, “Mister, I’m sorry but I can’t sit back and hand it over to you just like that! I will surely do my best to get it!”

Miao Yiyue said nothing. His gaze was glued to the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade. Watching it intently, that could only mean that he too wanted to get his hands on this unique half-Spiritual Item!”Changwei…” Even Dong Xiaowei was eager to acquire the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade himself . He lowered his voice and said, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to lend you any, I want this Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade too!”

“…”

Lu Changwei was devastated. He had spent all of his medium-grade Spiritual Stone on a worthless piece of painting. Without Dong Xiaowei to lend him Spiritual Stones, he would be automatically kicked out of the game.

Not only was the nickname ‘rich fool’ permanently attached to him, he was going to miss the opportunity to own the formidable Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade. A bitter taste filled his mouth and his heart was heavy.

“Mr. Chen.” Dong Xiaowu turned towards Chen Xiaobei and said, “Now that we know each other, we can be considered friends. So, let me be straightforward with you: I must get this Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade no matter what. I won’t back off!”

Chen Xiaobei did not react but Lu Changwei was practically jumping in his seat.

“Good! Good job young master! This kid will never be able have what I can’t have!”

Seeing that Chen Xiaobei was stuck in a predicament made the gloomy Lu Changwei cheer right up.

“Heh, I already said that this Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade is mine. Whatever I say is certain!”

Chen Xiaobei was filled with so much confidence as if everything was under his control. As if his words were final.

“Oh please!” Lu Changwei asked Chen Xiaobei, his voice deep with scorn, “Do you have any money at all? If you do, can it be compared to the young master?”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “I don’t have money. I don’t even have a son who would give me allowance. So, what I have cannot be compared to what the young master has!”

“Motherf*cker!” Lu Changwei swore. “If that is so, how dare you act so arrogantly?! Don’t you have any shame?”

When the audience heard this, they all frowned. They thought that Chen Xiaobei dared compete for the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade because he was a deep-pocketed wealthy man.

Alas! He was actually a penniless pauper! How dare he claim that the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade was his to take?! That was just absurd! This guy’s skin really was thick!

But under the judgmental glare of the people, Chen Xiaobei managed to remain completely unfazed and even smiled as he calmly announced, “I may not have money, but I do have a painting!”

Painting?

The audience sat upright; their necks stretched far out like meerkats, especially the young masters in the first row. Their glares were molesting Chen Xiaobei like sex predators.

“Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?” Dong Xiaowu asked with an unmistakable urgency in his voice.

“Well, it’s simple,” Chen Xiaobei answered. “Whoever buys the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade can exchange it for the masterpiece that I presented just now. It’s a one-time offer only. The decision is yours to make!”

The young masters all lit up like it was Christmas.

The starting price for the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade was 3,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones, the exchange price should certainly not exceed 6,000!

Earlier that evening, Lu Changwei had spent 6,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones on a piece of crap painting! Now, for the same price, one could get their hands on a masterpiece!

Even a fool would know that such a trade-off was worthwhile!

“I’ll do it! I’m willing to make an exchange!” said Qin Luoshu, who was the first to speak up. “Ms. Fei Xuan! I offer 3,500 medium-grade Spiritual Stones!”

Wei Ruilong followed suit. “I bid 3,800 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! I want to trade with Mr. Chen!”

“4,000! I bid 4,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! Mr. Chen! You must make the exchange with me!” barged in Miao Yiyue who immediately raised the bid.

It must be pointed out that today, all four young masters of the four Star Temples have gathered here today for a sole purpose: to purchase a painting worthy to be presented as a gift to the grand elder.

That was the plan of each of their families.

In comparison, the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade was just a coincidental find, not a compulsory purchase, and it is definitely nowhere nearly as important as a masterpiece of a traditional Chinese brush painting!

For this sole reason, the young masters were willing to forgo the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade for the painting.

Those who can afford to buy the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade were all desperate to exchange it for Chen Xiaobei’s masterpiece. Which meant that whoever bought the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade, would have to eventually give it Chen Xiaobei.

This auction was no longer about the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade, but it was more like a bid for the painting in the very hands of Chen Xiaobei!

Even though Chen Xiaobei was a nobody, the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade would be eventually his to pocket.

That was why Chen Xiaobei had claimed earlier on that the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade was his. He was not being pompous – it was just because he knew that it would happen!

Lu Changwei felt a dent to his pride. His mockery of Chen Xiaobei had come back to bite him.

“I’m sorry, everyone! I must have Mr. Chen’s painting!”

Dong Xiaowu raised his hands and said, “I’m bidding 6,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! I believe no one else is going top that, right?”

That was the exact price Lu Changwei offered to take out his competition.

The other young masters wanted to raise the price little by little but Dong Xiaowu beat them all with the highest price and that undoubtedly ended the auction.

No one said anything because in terms of monetary means, for there was no one in Silver Plume who could compete with the Dong Family.

After that, Fei Xuan walked down the stage to complete the transaction.

Dong Xiaowu paid for the Reverse Blade Spiritual Jade with Spiritual Stones and immediately traded it with Chen Xiaobei for the Sumukhwa!

“Mr. Chen, your painting can actually be sold for a lot more…” lamented Fei Xuan sounding a little disappointed.

“No!” Chen Xiaobei’s expression pointed to the fact that he did not care at all for the money. “I don’t care for selling it at a higher price. I simply hope that this painting falls into the hands of people who appreciate art as much as the young master.”

When Dong Xiaowu heard this, he was thoroughly moved. “Mr. Chen! I will always remember your kindness! Let’s be good friends from now on! Whenever you encounter difficulties, you can always come to me!”

“With pleasure! With pleasure!”

Chen Xiaobei smiled, trying to hide the laughter welling inside him as he pictured the interesting expressions the crowd would display if he told them that the painting was nothing but a draft.
