Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Four-Eyes Chicken was taken aback, he gave Chen Daotian a look of disdain and said:

"Kid, what's it to you when I'm greeting a beautiful lady?"

Chen Daotian glared back and retorted: "Are you freaking blind? She is my sister-in-law!"

Hearing this, Ye Wenjun's cheeks turned slightly red.

But still—

How could Four-Eyes Chicken possibly believe that? He was very clear about Ye Wenjun's identity and her status in Yanjing was evident to all. Recently, news had spread about Wenjun's planned marriage alliance with Zhao Wuyan, causing quite a sensation, but then rumors of Zhao Wuyan's death surfaced for some unknown reason.

No matter what, Four-Eyes Chicken didn't buy the whole 'sister-in-law' story.

Four-Eyes Chicken looked at Fang Yu and Chen Daotian and said: "A dog's mouth won't spit out ivory. But I won't stoop to your level, Miss Ye..."

He had barely pronounced the words 'Miss Ye', when he heard Ye Wenjun say in a frosty tone:

"Scram—"

That single command scared Four-Eyes Chicken into stumbling, almost falling over.

Four-Eyes Chicken might not respect Fang Yu and Chen Daotian, but he was truly afraid of Ye Wenjun... As the young miss of one of the three great Martial Arts families—the Ye Family—who would dare to offend her?

Chen Daotian burst into laughter, giving Ye Wenjun a thumbs up: "Sister-in-law, you are mighty!"

Seeing Four-Eyes Chicken leaving slowly, he kicked over.

"My sister-in-law told you to scram, who said you could just walk away?"

Pfft!

With one kick landing on Four-Eyes Chicken's legs, he fell to the ground with a thud.

He rolled down the stairs.

"Pfft..." Ye Wenjun couldn't help but let out a laugh, yet she quickly realized it was unbecoming of her demeanor. She hurriedly composed herself, returning to her usual poise.

Fang Yu turned his head to look at her and said: "If you want to laugh, just laugh. No need to hide it. Honestly... you're even more beautiful when you smile."

Ye Wenjun met Fang Yu's gaze, her face expressionless, then looked forward again.

At that moment—

The auctioneer took the stage.

It was nothing more than the usual pleasantries and welcome speeches, nothing exciting. Everyone's attention was focused on the auction items, but Chen Daotian's focus was on the security personnel around the room.

After observing for a while, Chen Daotian whispered: "Brother Yu, judging by the way those guys stand, they don't seem like Martial Artists... On the surface, everything seems normal at the venue, nothing special."

Fang Yu gave him a disdainful look and said sarcastically: "Do you think you have Eyes of Golden Flame? Can you determine whether or not someone is a Martial Artist just by the way they stand?"

"…Brother Yu, that's a harsh way to put it."

Fang Yu raised his hand and pointed at the man in the corner, saying: "That guy is not simple; they have a strong aura. They must be from the Jin Family."

"Mhm." Chen Daotian nodded.

On stage.

The auctioneer presented the first item.

It was an Ancient Sword, indeed an antique from ancient times, but Fang Yu didn't care for antiques... Neither did Ye Wenjun, so the three of them chose to ignore it.

In the front row corner, the financial director surnamed Li watched Chen Daotian and Fang Yu with a venomous glare.

The second item, the third item, none were anything special.

They were quickly sold at low prices.

Then came the fourth item—

As soon as that item was placed on display, even through the glass, it shimmered translucently.

Under the spotlight, it was dazzlingly radiant.

Fang Yu's eyebrows suddenly knitted together.

"Phoenix Jade?"

Chen Daotian, who didn't understand jade, asked, "What is Phoenix Jade?"

"Phoenix Jade is a rare and exquisite piece of jade, supposedly left behind when a Fairy from Phoenix Mountain descended to the mortal realm, or so one story goes. The key is that it bears a close resemblance to the Phoenix and has top-notch quality. Whoever wears this jade can rid themselves of troubles and maintain a clear, alert mind," Fang Yu explained slowly.

"How do you know so much?" Chen Daotian asked curiously.

Even Ye Wenjun looked at him with complicated emotions in her eyes.

Meanwhile, the auctioneer began to describe the jade, and when he finished, both Chen Daotian and Ye Wenjun realized that what the host said was basically the same as Fang Yu's description, almost verbatim.

But—

Chen Daotian believed he knew Fang Yu well, and Fang Yu wasn't someone knowledgeable about jade, so why did he know this?

The auctioneer began the bidding—

"The Phoenix Jade starting price is five hundred thousand, with each bid increment not less than a hundred thousand. Please start your bids!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised their hand below.

"Six hundred thousand!"

"Six hundred thousand for the first time!"

"Seven hundred thousand!"

"Seven hundred thousand for the first time!"

...

There were many connoisseurs of jade.

In a short time, the price of the Phoenix Jade soared to nine hundred thousand.

Chen Daotian cursed, "A piece of jade, sold for nine hundred thousand... Those who buy it must be totally brain-damaged!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fang Yu exclaimed:

"One million!"

The entire room's gaze whooshed over to Fang Yu.

This piece of jade was just about worth one million.

Chen Daotian said in surprise, "Have you gone mad?"

Ye Wenjun was also slightly astonished; she didn't understand jade, nor did she like it. So why buy jade?

Chen Daotian added, "You already owe me one and a half million! Big brother! That's not how you should spend money! Moreover, weren't you supposed to donate what you borrowed? How come you're buying jade now?"

Fang Yu suddenly raised his hand, interrupting Chen Daotian: "There's been a change of plan, transfer another million to me later!"

"..." Chen Daotian felt like crying.

But—

The financial director in the front row corner, who had suffered from Chen Daotian's annoyance earlier, seeing this, raised his hand and said: "One point five million!"

Straight up adding half a million!

The entire room was in an uproar!

The auctioneer loved such scenes!

The higher the bidding went, the better for them, their commission would be that much higher!

The world of the rich is so willful; even calling out bids is a way to vent their spleen!

"One point five million for the first time, any more bids?"

"One point five million for the second time!"

Fang Yu's brows furrowed even more, he immediately raised his hand: "One point six million!"

"Alright, this gentleman bids one point six million!"

Crazy.

Truly crazy.

One point six million for a piece of junk jade!

"Chen Daotian, transfer all of the remaining one million to me... I'll repay you later!"

"..." Chen Daotian's tears were streaming down his face.

"Stop blabbering, hurry up," Fang Yu said sternly, "this piece of jade is very important to me, I must get it!"

"For a piece of Phoenix Jade, you... sigh, my heart is bleeding." Chen Daotian took out his mobile phone to transfer the money.

"No, you don't understand..."

Fang Yu's tone paused, "This piece of jade belonged to my mother—"

Upon hearing this, Chen Daotian's expression changed, he put away his smile, tapped a few times on his phone and said: "Two point five million, my entire fortune."

"Thanks!"

...

The host was overjoyed; the jade was very high quality, but definitely not worth this price.

"One point six million for the first time!"

Before he had finished speaking, that financial director Four-Eyes Chicken bid again—

"Two million!"

The host happily said: "This gentleman bids two million, does anyone else want to bid? Two million for the first time!"

"Two million for the second time!"

Chen Daotian glared at that Four-Eyes Chicken, fiercely muttering, "Damn, after it's over, I'm going to beat you to death!"

Fang Yu raised his hand:

"Two point one million!"

As soon as he finished bidding, that Four-Eyes Dog immediately raised his hand: "Two point two million."

A low murmur rippled through the crowd.

They all saw it, these two tycoons were vying with each other.

"Two point three million!"

"Two point four million!"

"Two point five million!"

"Two point six million!"

Four-Eyes Chicken simply stood up, turned back with a challenging look towards Fang Yu, straightened his clothes as if to show he had plenty of money.

Hearing this number, Fang Yu's heart sank.

"Yu, don't lose heart... Tonight, I'll help you snatch the thing back!" Chen Daotian's teeth grinded audibly.

Fang Yu remained silent.

Just as he felt disappointment, a clear voice rose from his left—

"Five million!"

It was Ye Wenjun!
