Chapter 404: Pure Yang Jade Pendant

In an instant, everyone in the auction house looked over.

Chen Yi's half of his face was now swollen.

He looked at Lin Yang, both angry and furious, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"You dare to hit me!"

"Do you believe it or not..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yang placed a finger on his brow.

"Whether you believe it or not, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"

Chen Yi stood where he was, trembling all over, not daring to utter a word.

Because the pain coming from his brow made him truly feel the threat of death!

The person beside Chen Yi shouted loudly.

"Lin Yang, if you kill Chen Yi in front of all these people, you'll have a deadly feud with our Chen family!"

"Chen Yi is in the wrong; how about letting him apologize to you!"

"Apologize?"

Lin Yang looked at the speaker and coldly laughed.

"Do you think that just apologizing will settle this?"

"Then what do you want? As long as you let him go, we'll do anything you ask!"

Lin Yang looked at Chen Yi, trembling from fear, and said with a slight upturn of his mouth.

"I want you to kneel publicly and kowtow to apologize to me."

"If you do that, I'll consider this never happened; otherwise I'll take your life right now!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi's face changed.

After gritting his teeth with difficulty, preparing to refuse Lin Yang, the person beside him spoke again.

"Chen Yi, Han Xin also suffered the humiliation of the crotch, and besides, this matter was provoked by you first!"

"You still won't apologize!"

Upon hearing that, Chen Yi gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and said to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, I offended you earlier; please forgive me!"

Having said that, he kowtowed hard on the ground.

But after he finished kowtowing and lifted his head, his gaze toward Lin Yang was full of resentment.

Lin Yang looked at him, smiled slightly, and said.

"Are you willing to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens?"

"Then I'll help you; you must absolutely endure."

Having said that, he stepped on his head with one foot, pressing his just-raised skull to the ground.

"This is the proper posture for enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens."

"Ding Biao, let's go."

After Lin Yang left, Chen Yi crawled up from the ground, his eyes full of resentment.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill him!"

"I will kill him."

The Chen family members beside him stepped forward and said.

"I'll arrange people right now; tonight he won't return home so peacefully."

"Good!"

When Chen Yi took his seat, many people occasionally glanced at him.

And they pointed at him.

"Isn't this Chen Yi the one who's said to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Chen Tianyu in the future?"

"How could he be so inadequate in front of Lin Yang?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi clenched his fists.

He turned his gaze toward Lin Yang, seated ahead, and said through gritted teeth.

"I will surely take revenge!"

"Just wait!"

Lin Yang and Ding Biao both felt that killing intent.

Ding Biao asked, "Mr. Lin, why didn't you just take care of that brat?"

"That brat is no pushover."

Hearing Ding Biao's words, Lin Yang laughed.

"I certainly know that, but I'm using him as bait."

"Who knows how many Chen family members will be hooked later."

Upon hearing Lin Yang say that, Ding Biao's face showed sudden understanding.

"So Mr. Lin intends to deal with the Chen family."

"Then tonight, no matter how many Chen family members come, none will return."

Not long after, the auction finally began.

Lin Yang had no interest in the antiques and calligraphy that appeared earlier.

"Next, we will auction the antiques unearthed from an ancient tomb."

Having said that, he clapped his hands and called for someone to bring a jade pendant.

He projected the jade pendant onto the wall, and everyone clearly saw the characters on it.

"Pure Yang True Person"

Lin Yang stared at the jade pendant, light flashing in his eyes.

Although the jade pendant had dirt on its surface and also bore scratches,

But Lin Yang could clearly feel the spiritual energy contained within it.

Moreover, any cultivator would not be unfamiliar with the Pure Yang True Person!

Ordinary bosses looking at this jade pendant felt very disappointed.

The jade pendant has become like this, its collectible value greatly discounted.

But the Xuánmén cultivators present all became excited.

"This item has no starting bid, everyone, feel free to call out prices."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted loudly.

"I bid five million!"

"I bid eight million!"

"I bid thirty million!"

For cultivators of Jinling, money is not something they lack much.

As long as they need money, they only need to check feng shui or sell a couple of protective items, and they can make a fortune.

So, they each raised the bid, all outrageously.

Lin Yang sat quietly there, watching them bid.

When it was about the same, the price fixed at eighty million, Lin Yang suddenly shouted.

"One hundred million!"

Just as he finished shouting, a voice from the first row also sounded.

"Two hundred million!"

Lin Yang also hesitated not at all, adding another hundred million.

That person also hurriedly followed suit, not giving up in the slightest.

Everyone watched this bidding increase by a hundred million each time, and they were all stunned.

This isn't paper, yet they're adding a hundred million at a time!

When Lin Yang shouted one billion, that person directly raised it by five hundred million.

Then he stood up, looked toward Lin Yang's side, and said.

"Friend, please give the Zhang family of Modu some face."

"It's not worth it for a jade pendant to fetch such a high price."

"The Zhang family of Modu?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began to discuss.

"Could it be the Zhang family among the two families that divided Shanghai?"

In wealthy circles, there's a saying that the two families divided Shanghai.

It means the two families basically divided most of Shanghai's wealth.

They never expected that the Zhang family would actually come to Jinling.

Lin Yang glanced at the man in his thirties wearing a suit and smiled faintly.

"Sorry, I am determined to obtain this item."

"Twenty billion."

Now the suit-clad man fell silent.

He indeed wanted this jade pendant, but spending over twenty billion to buy it was truly not worth it.

While he hesitated, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"Auctioneer, why aren't you striking the gavel? What are you waiting for?"

The auctioneer was also excited.

Spending twenty billion on a damaged jade pendant—this was the first time he had seen such a thing.

Just as the auctioneer was about to strike the gavel, Chen Yi suddenly stood up and said.

"Wait a moment, I now want to question whether this guy named Lin Yang really has that much money!"

"I request the auction house to verify his funds!"

"If he doesn't have that much money, then Mr. Zhang would be the first in line to obtain the jade pendant!"

The middle-aged man looked over at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi immediately showed a kind smile.

The man merely nodded and sat down.

As for Chen Yi, he didn't have much thought of interacting with him.

The man sitting down like that made Chen Yi feel somewhat embarrassed.

What he just said loudly—one motive was to disgust Lin Yang, the other was to curry favor with the Zhang family!

But looking at the situation, his attempt to curry favor had failed.

However, even if he failed, Lin Yang wasn't also exposed by him?

A country bumpkin from the southwest actually dared to shout out a price of twenty billion!

You think this is playing house?
