Hua Zhiqiang gave an embarrassed smile, glanced at Jiang Chen, and did not explain.
Lu Chengfeng understood in an instant, smiled lightly at Jiang Chen and nodded, to which Jiang Chen nodded back.
"Welcome everyone to..."
The auction began, and the auctioneer introduced the bidding process, launching today's auction.
As time passed, it wasn't long before the auction drew to a close, neither Hua Zhiqiang nor Lu Chengfeng had bid on a single item.
"Does Mr. Lu really intend to compete with me for that Pill Furnace?" Hua Zhiqiang couldn't help but speak up.
If it had been before, Hua Zhiqiang wouldn't have minded facing off against Lu Chengfeng, but now, because he had to pay Jiang Chen the life-preserving fee, he valued every penny and was thinking about earning all ten years of life-preserving money in full.
