Damn, got scammed again.

Seeing Zhao Yun close his eyes, Zhuge Xuandao stroked his beard.

The scene was utterly silent.

Most people were watching Young Master Zhao, even Yan Kang was watching.

Add more! Keep adding more, damn it!

Just once more, and I'll let you have it.

Add your sister, I have no money.

This would be Zhao Yun's response, the young master's brain isn't waterlogged.

"Congratulations, Brother Yan, on obtaining a fine sword."

Yan Kang didn't wait for Zhao Yun to add more, but instead faced the ridicule from the major clans. In such a scenario, the clans were especially united, enjoying the verbal jabs and feeling satisfied inside.

"Shamelessly butting in, got scammed, didn't you?"

The bidders were mostly critical, no one sympathized with Yan Kang. At least wait until Wang Yang and Zhao Yun finished their competition before joining in. Such eagerness to raise the price, even a fool could see you were causing trouble. If you cause trouble, getting scammed is purely your own fault.

"Damn old man."

Yan Kang's eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted in a hideous manner.

"Damn it."

Wang Yang also cursed in his heart. Two scoundrels, if you want to fight, go outside and have a fistfight! There are so many treasures, but you choose the red sword I like.

When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the pond suffer.

And he was that fish, hit by a big wave.

In fact, both he and Yan Kang were fish.

As Zhao Yun said, anyone who beat him up at the Moon Viewing Tower yesterday or bombed the barracks last night, none of them would escape. Don't look at those major clan heirs who were mocking Yan Kang, if they bid, Zhao Yun would scam each one of them.

There was no way around it, who could blame him for having a god-tier advantage!

Everyone present knew their limits, and the Moon Goddess was crystal clear about it.

"Master, be more low-key!"

The Blood Eagle Elder said, if your brain isn't working, don't rush in! You've participated three times and been scammed twice, does money grow on trees?

"I know my limits."

Yan Kang gritted his teeth, saying he knew his limits, but he wasn't satisfied in his heart.

Wait and see! He would challenge Zhao Yun again.

He wouldn't be satisfied until he scammed that guy once, he wouldn't let him off easily.

Cough, cough!

Huang Yan coughed lightly, then put away the red sword, privately sighing.

This sword, worth 200,000? All thanks to Zhao Yun, not a shill, but more dedicated than a shill. Just these two items, he made the auction house 300,000 more, and as the host, he also got a commission, earning several thousand more, feeling quite comfortable.

As he spoke, he had already taken out another item.

This time, it was a red fruit, placed in a finely carved jade box, with a rich fragrance that was invigorating, and an extremely powerful life force.

"Life Fruit."

With a surprised exclamation, Zhao Yun, who had been resting his eyes, suddenly opened them and stood up. Perhaps it was too sudden, startling the people at his table.

His movement was too big, and many people saw it.

Yan Kang, who had been watching Zhao Yun, also saw it. He was observant, and since he wanted to scam Zhao Yun, he paid close attention to every word and action of Zhao Yun.

Life Fruit, as the name suggests: the fruit of life.

Such a fruit could extend one's lifespan, by three to five years.

Old folks nearing the end of their lives were particularly fond of such items.

When you're old, nothing is more valuable than life.

Hearing Zhao Yun's voice, which sounded old and agitated, anyone would instinctively think he was an old man, likely with little time left, and thus so excited to see the Life Fruit, even to the point of losing composure.

An opportunity has come.

Yan Kang laughed cruelly, if you want to use the Life Fruit to extend your life, let's see if you have enough money. Daring to scam me, you'll have to bleed heavily too.

"Life Fruit."

Zhao Yun stared intently at the red fruit, his eyes glowing with intense heat, his breathing becoming slightly faster. His demeanor suggested he was ready to snatch it.

"It's just a fruit." Niu Hong sneered.

"You don't understand, eating that fruit can extend your life."

The little money lover said, vaguely remembering that when her grandfather, who was nearing the end of his life, saw the Life Fruit, he was equally excited, even more so than this person now.

Still, when you're old, nothing is more valuable than life.

"I say, the auction hasn't even started yet?" The purple-haired child tugged at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun took a deep breath and sat down.

His eyes, from start to finish, were fixed on the Life Fruit.

Acting, he was a professional.

If he didn't act, how could he catch the big fish?

And Yan Kang was that big fish, thinking of scamming him, he needed to create an opportunity. The trap was set, just waiting for the fish to jump in.

In fact, Yan Kang had already fallen into the trap.

Blame Zhao Yun's acting, not just Yan Kang, even Zhuge Xuandao and the fat old man at the same table were convinced, firmly believing this person had little time left and desperately needed the Life Fruit to extend his life.

"I almost believed it too." The Moon Goddess glanced at Zhao Yun.

This guy was indeed talented, not just in cultivation, but also in acting.

So immersed in the role, everyone took it seriously.

"Base price is 10,000 taels, each bid must be at least 1,000 taels higher."

Huang Yan's words echoed through the hall.

"I'll bid...?"

"50,000 taels." Before the bidder could finish, Zhao Yun spoke up.

This was indeed a bold move.

This also made many people awkward, their words cut off by Zhao Yun, who added 40,000 taels in one go. Damn, you're impressive.

"50,000 taels, any higher bids?" Huang Yan looked around.

"No one else is bidding, let's move on to the next item." Zhao Yun said impatiently, still acting, always acting, the actor had taken over.

"50,000 taels for the Life Fruit? Who gave you the nerve?"

Yan Kang laughed coldly, Zhao Yun was impatient, but he seemed even more eager. The more Zhao Yun wanted, the more excited he became, the opportunity to scam had arrived.

"1,000 taels more."

"80,000 taels." Zhao Yun's tone darkened slightly.

"1,000 taels more."

"100,000 taels."

"1,000 taels more."

The scene was familiar, earlier with the Immortal Robe, no matter how much Yan Kang bid, Zhao Yun always added 1,000 taels. Now, the roles seemed to have switched.

"He's too eager, even if he wants it, he shouldn't show it so much!"

"Great, Yan Kang has the opportunity, he'll definitely scam him to death."

"Those who walk by the river often get their feet wet."

There were many sighs, the bidders all folded their hands, watching the drama unfold.

"110,000 taels." Zhao Yun snorted coldly.

"1,000 taels more." Yan Kang smiled mockingly.

"150,000 taels."

"1,000 taels more."

Yan Kang twisted his neck, enjoying the feeling, venting his frustration. It felt indescribably refreshing.

"Junior, are you really going to push it?"

Zhao Yun said coldly, looking at the third floor, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

"Auction is about the highest bidder, if you don't have money, go back where you came from."

Yan Kang's words were full of arrogance, laughing heartily.

"Good, very good." Zhao Yun laughed in anger, "200,000 taels."

Sigh!

The hall was filled with gasps of shock.

The Life Fruit was precious, but far from worth this much. With this money, one could buy a Life Extension Pill, which was much more effective for extending life.

"Add more, if you dare."

Zhao Yun glared at Yan Kang, anyone who saw him would think he was on the verge of anger. It was his acting, making people spin around, and they still didn't know.

"1,000 taels more." Yan Kang smiled playfully.

"250,000 taels." Zhao Yun slammed the table and stood up abruptly.

"1,000 taels more." Yan Kang's lips curled up.

"300,000 taels."

Zhao Yun's eyes were even fiercer, his words came out through gritted teeth, and the people in the hall clearly heard the sound of his teeth grinding, he was clenching his teeth in anger.

"300,000 taels, is this guy crazy?"

"He must be near the end of his life, desperately needing the Life Fruit to extend his lifespan."

"This is awkward."

There were many sighs, it was just that you wanted it, but someone wouldn't give it to you.

"1,000 taels more."

Amidst the noise, Yan Kang smiled again.

He had already decided, if Zhao Yun added one more time, he would stop.

Unfortunately, he didn't get the chance.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhao Yun took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and then slowly sat down, becoming a statue again, closing his eyes to rest. Enough, he had reached Yan Kang's limit, adding more would bury himself in the trap.

The hall was silent again.

Everyone was watching Zhao Yun, will he add or not, give us a word!

Yan Kang's brows furrowed slightly.

How to say it! He had a bad feeling.

"Friend, will you bid more?"

After a long pause, Huang Yan spoke, looking at Zhao Yun tentatively.

"Not enough money."

Zhao Yun said casually, this reason was quite reasonable.

No money, why bid at all.

But to the discerning eye, this was clearly not about money, it was about the trap. This trap was big, burying the Blood Eagle Young Master.

"This acting, truly impeccable."

"The old man, did you see the two words above his head?"

"Scam God."

Zhuge Xuandao and the fat old man always had such insightful comments.

"Scamming someone to death, isn't that a bit much?"

The bidders stroked their beards, looking at Zhao Yun with a mix of awe and respect.

When the Scam God acts, you know it's real.

To be honest, this couldn't be blamed on Zhao Yun, it was Yan Kang who insisted on rushing in.

"Damn it."

Yan Kang's demeanor was no longer playful, his face twisted in a hideous manner. In his heart, he slapped himself hard, saying he would stop early, but he was too greedy. In the end, he ended up with it himself.

"Congratulations, Brother Yan, on obtaining the Life Fruit for 300,000 taels."

Again, the major clan heirs collectively offered their congratulations, especially emphasizing the 300,000, their schadenfreude was evident.

Pfft!

Yan Kang couldn't catch his breath and spat out blood again.

Scammed, he was scammed again.

At this moment, no matter how unwilling, he had to admit this harsh reality. Yan Kang had become the biggest laughingstock of this auction, without a doubt.

With his blood spitting, the auction for the Life Fruit finally ended.

Everyone present was still engrossed, often glancing back at Zhao Yun, feeling the two words above his head even more glaring.

Scamming is a skill.

Like Zhao Yun, he had a good grasp of the balance, and his acting was top-notch. He had lured Yan Kang into the trap, a full 300,000 taels!

"Next time, be more cautious around him."

Many people spoke earnestly, if there was a trap, especially with the Scam God involved, don't rush in foolishly, or the consequences would be severe. The Blood Eagle Young Master was a bloody example, losing 800,000 taels in three rounds.

Comfortable.

Zhao Yun, resting his eyes, was beaming inside. Beating me up, bombing my barracks, there's a price to pay. The several hundred thousand taels were worth it.

"If I bid, would you scam me?"

The purple-haired child poked Zhao Yun, looking like he had a shadow of fear.

I have professional ethics.

Zhao Yun took a deep breath and spoke earnestly.

"Who would believe that?"

Zhuge Xuandao and the fat old man had already scrutinized Zhao Yun several times, for scamming Yan Kang, you were really dedicated.

The auction continued.

For some reason, a strange phenomenon emerged. There were always two troublemakers, one the Scam God and the other Yan Kang.

Zhao Yun was casual, but Yan Kang wasn't very honest.

Whenever Zhao Yun bid, he would be the first to jump out and cause trouble.

In the end, he was scammed without knowing what hit him.

And Zhao Yun was very cooperative, whenever Yan Kang participated, he would be there too.

Come, continue your performance.

All the bidders became spectators, folding their hands, watching the two bid. The prices varied, but the outcome was the same: Yan Kang was always the one being scammed, spitting blood multiple times.

Despite this, he still stubbornly rushed in.

Not just his elders, even the bidders couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhao Yun was the most calm, hitting the mark every time.

I have a god-tier advantage, I'm not afraid of anyone.

Today's Moon Goddess was also quite relaxed, even more so than Zhao Yun. She knew everyone's limits and would tell Zhao Yun immediately, showing that this goddess wasn't a good girl at heart, like the day she stole from the Liu family bank, seeking excitement.

This was something Zhao Yun and she had in common.

Their division of labor was clear, one responsible for spying, the other for scamming. Their cooperation was seamless, with Yan Kang being a typical example.

Pfft!

For the umpteenth time, Yan Kang spat blood and fell over.

"Find out, find out for me."

This was his last low growl before fainting, filled with anger and murderous intent. His head was buzzing, so many times, he was scammed to the point of confusion.

Serves him right!

The Blood Eagle Elder cursed in his heart, he had warned him before, if your intelligence isn't enough, don't rush in. Now, all his money is gone, you better behave!

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

Lin Xie sighed, he had watched the entire auction, the Blood Eagle Young Master was truly unfortunate, not only losing money but also losing face. Most of the money he brought was gone.

Still, the old man scammed well.

Niu Hong sat upright, his words were profound.

No one disagreed with this.

Whenever the Scam God appeared, he never failed.

"One down."

Seeing Yan Kang faint, Young Master Zhao finally felt relieved.

He was relieved, but the bidders were not.

Calling him the Scam God was well-deserved, catching someone and scamming them to the point of bankruptcy, of course, they had to be cautious, they didn't want to be the next Yan Kang.

The happiest, of course, was Huang Yan.

The triennial Wanggu Auction was the most exciting this time, with the most surprises. Thanks to a troublemaker, his commission increased by several tens of thousands.
