Chapter 304: The Strange Man in the Brothel_2
The other two, seeing this, also fell into silence.
But their expressions were extremely conflicted.
"Hehe..."
Chen Xuan saw this and laughed.
These two are just shills he hired!
Really... good kid, this set of tricks is really quite something.
Judging by their performance, it seems they'll have to raise the bid today.
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid, 17,000 taels once!"
On the stage, a middle-aged woman with a lingering charm shouted passionately, simultaneously giving a signal to the woman on the stage.
"Is there anyone else... it's 17,000 taels, you could buy so many pigs with that, buying a woman, you have no idea how much profit there is, are you still not satisfied?"
The ugly man in white expressed his dissatisfaction immediately.
In his view, spending 17,000 taels already felt like bleeding from his heart.
After all, women to him were just for bearing children, and he wanted a pretty one because his current children all took after him, regardless of gender.
He heard that getting a pretty woman could make his offspring a bit better looking too.
That's why he went through the trouble of coming into the city, and after some inquiries, learned that this brothel was the most famous, and the women here the most beautiful.
That's why he came here.
"Hehe, don't worry sir, it's our brothel's rule, after three times, if no one bids, then it's yours!"
The middle-aged woman on the stage wasn't angry, and explained cheerfully.
"Hmph! Then hurry up!"
The man in white, though slightly impatient, did not dare to cause trouble.
After all, the guards here were of the First-Grade.
Though he looked a bit ugly, he wasn't stupid.
"17,000 taels, second call! Any more bids, gentlemen?"
The woman shouted loudly, looking around.
Though she already had a rough idea.
After all, their own men wouldn't be bidding anymore.
Besides the ugly man in white, there was probably no one else.
"17....."
Before she finished speaking, a crisp voice slowly came from outside.
"30,000 taels!"
This instantly raised the bid by 13,000 taels.
However, without seeing the person, the middle-aged woman didn't dare to speak immediately.
Moments later!
A man in luxurious clothes appeared before everyone.
Handsome!
That was the first impression.
Also... very charismatic.
But at this moment, the middle-aged woman couldn't care less about that and quickly asked, "Sir, was it you who bid 30,000 taels?"
"Is there anyone else who would offer such a price?"
The man, holding a folding fan, arrogantly retorted.
"Then it's yours, 30,000 taels, first call!"
The middle-aged woman didn't care about anything else, as long as it was his bid.
"You... bidding at the last moment, what's that supposed to mean?"
The ugly man in white was very displeased, pointing at the man, looking as if he could eat him up.
This was truly too much to bear.
Just as the old woman was about to announce the third time, such an interloper appeared.
Wasn't this toying with him!
"The highest bidder wins, isn't that the rule?"
The man completely ignored the ugly man in white and directed his question to the middle-aged woman on the stage.
"Ah... yes, yes, the highest bidder wins, that's the only rule in our brothel, regardless of who it is, or what power they have, that's the rule!"
Then she gave the ugly man in white a warning look.
"Hmph!"
The ugly man in white immediately turned and left.
Spending more than 30,000 taels on a woman, he might as well be insane.
How many children would it take to recoup that?
"30,000 taels, second call!"
The woman didn't care if he left, and directly called out the second time.
But the price had already exceeded everyone's psychological range present.
Without further hesitation, "30,000 taels, third call, congratulations to this gentleman for winning the beauty!"
She smiled broadly and congratulated the man.
The bid fetched a great price, and she would receive a handsome reward.
This was a rule set by Qin Ke.
The more a bid fetched, the larger the silver reward.
That's why she worked so hard every time.
"Congratulations... congratulations..."
The surrounding people started to offer their congratulations. This was unlike any other brothel, at least the clientele's quality here was much higher than in other places.
Standing above, Chen Xuan kept his gaze fixed on the man.
"So strange!"
He muttered in his heart, and his Telepathy flickered by.
However....
"What?"
Chen Xuan was greatly shocked in his heart, unable to see through him, the man appeared foggy in his Telepathy.
This was the first time he encountered someone his Telepathy couldn't perceive.
"This man is unusual!"
He immediately retracted his Telepathy.
At that moment, the man seemed to sense it too, looking up, their eyes met.
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, "Congratulations!"
The man nodded slightly in return but said nothing.
"Huh? What's going on?"
He clearly sensed being watched earlier, but... was it him?
Impossible!
Just a mere Late-Stage Immortal Grade.
"Could I have been mistaken?"
The man started doubting himself.
"Sir, the lady has been sent to the room, please follow me upstairs!"
At this moment, the middle-aged woman approached the man, smiling as she extended her hand, inviting him upstairs.
"Uh... thank you then!"
The man hesitated for a moment, but eventually followed her upstairs.
"Something's off, this man's reaction is unusual too!"
Watching this scene, Chen Xuan was certain that the man had a problem.
But....
Unable to discern him even with Telepathy, Chen Xuan didn't dare to act rashly.
He then returned to his room.
The man's room was directly below his, as he had just arranged through Liu Si.
Although his Spiritual Power and Telepathy were something he dared not use.
