Being able to discern the difference between these two individuals was, for him, a chance to relax amidst the many complicated matters.
Xu Lang realized he had lost his composure and did not want Zhao Jie to make fun of him at that moment, nor did he want others to simply laugh at him; he sat down with his face ashen, albeit reluctantly.
Zhao Jie was fully invigorated, having just lost the first ginseng because he didn't have enough money and Xu Lang had made fun of him; he felt as though he could not save face. But now, the quality of this ginseng appeared to be clearly superior to the previous one.
The starting bid was surprisingly the same, and although everyone could see which of the two ginsengs was better, they were ultimately very close in quality. With this premise, the starting price remained the same. Since none of the previous bidders were a match for Zhao Jie, it could be considered a great bargain for him.
