No matter what price others called, they would up it by a thousand Prime Stones. Such a wealthy and lavish gesture was enough to deter most competitors. That was exactly the strategy Zhongxuan Sheng employed to "persuade" other potential rivals who might be interested in the Seven-Tassel Flower to withdraw.
When the bidding reached three hundred and one thousand Prime Stones, a servant's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Hey, hey, Master Bao, stop!"
Bang!
The door was kicked open, and Bao Zhongqing strode into the room.
"You fat bastard, I knew it was you!"
The attendants of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion had intentionally revealed Zhongxuan Sheng's identity in advance, giving him time to react. They couldn't possibly stop Bao Zhongqing, so this was their only way of warning.
But Zhongxuan Sheng showed no reaction, still lazily reclining in the armchair, not even bothering to move his behind. He only lifted his hand: "Hello there, Bao Mazi."
