Chapter 696: It Was Just a Blind Guess

mily could actually live such a good life. Even when she wasn't married, her parents advocated for a frugal lifestyle, and their family never had extravagant meals of large fish or meat.After getting...But heaven didn't hear the fat merchant's prayers. A hand still reached out through the window of room number one, holding a number one auction plaque.

In a flash, the portly tycoon seemed to age ten years in an instant. He slumped back into his seat, dumbfounded. After a long pause, he lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.

The seven-foot-tall man burst into tears, unable to catch his breath.

In the wealthy merchant's heart, the Gensei Dan auctioned off was her daughter's last hope for survival.

He spent all his money and still couldn't buy medicine. His daughter's life was nearly a death sentence.

"Lin ge," the fat merchant's friend could only silently pat him on the shoulder in comfort.

Fang Jinxiu twitched her ears. Sometimes, having such acute hearing was a real pain.

Fu Ming stared at the auctioneer in disbelief as he slammed down the hammer for the third time. Six thousand taels, indeed no one would compete with the first-bidder.

There is no point in arguing any further.

This price is already several times the value of these twenty Wind-Summoning Pellets, if they bid any higher, they'll really be a laughing stock.

"I didn't expect anyone to actually shout six thousand taels."

Fu Ming looked at Fang Jinshi with a complicated expression.

"Madam Zong, I am truly impressed by you. Could you enlighten me on how you knew the price of this Wind-Awakening Pill would reach six thousand taels"

She was spot on, it's truly chilling.

Fang Jinshu spread her hands, "It's just a guess."

Fu Ming gave me a look that said, "You think I'm stupid"

"It was just a guess."

"Since Master Fu has already guessed four thousand taels, I actually feel that this price is almost enough."

But if I guess the same price as you, wouldn't that make this bet pointless

"So I just guessed a number randomly, and won against Master Fu. It was pure luck."

She grinned broadly and extended her hand toward Fu Ming, her slender fingertips even teasingly hooking at him, gesturing for him to pay up.

Everything Fang Jinshu said, Fu Ming didn't believe a word.

He skillfully pulled out a silver note from his bosom and gave it to Fang Jinshu, who after receiving the money immediately stood up to leave.

Fu Ming was taken aback, "The auction isn't over yet, where are you going"

Fang Jinshu pretended to be shy and paused for a moment, "I just went to the restroom, Mr. Fu doesn't even need to ask."

Fu Ming awkwardly turned his head.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

As soon as Fong Jinxiu stepped out of the single room, Zong Yu followed close behind. Fu Ming opened his mouth in surprise once again.

"Uncle Zong, even when your daughter-in-law goes to the bathroom, you have to follow"

A grown man of eight feet tall, not some baby who still needs milk, is he being too clingy

Zong Yu had always been unconcerned with what others thought. He didn't even offer Fu Ming an explanation, simply following Fang Jinxiu away.

"Wife, over here," he said as soon as he came out. He saw his wife looking around furtively.

Zone immediately stepped forward to lead her.

Fang Jinxiu hurried to his side, "I went to the restroom, why did you follow me out I can find it myself."

Zongyu raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek, his expression and tone when speaking to his wife were simply incredibly tender.

"You're not going to the restroom, you're looking for the person who was shouting prices on the first floor just now."

Fang Jinshi finished her meal, shook her head helplessly, and said, "You really can't hide anything from you."

How could she have forgotten, Ah Yu's hearing was also super good. He must have heard everything she heard.

"Let's go, I'm afraid they've already left if we're late."

"Hmm."

The two waited at the back door of the auction for a while and sure enough, they saw the plump businessman walking towards the back door accompanied by his friend.

He looked utterly dejected.

Two people were standing at the entrance, watching him without him noticing.

But the wealthy merchant's friends saw that the two people at the back door seemed to be deliberately waiting for them there.

"Who are you two"

Fāng Jǐnxiù didn't speak, she took out a plain pouch from her sleeve and handed it over.arden didn't need watering though, as it was irrigated by a spring, making the herbs grow with a vitality that surpassed even wild plants.Even the most precious herbs are as readily available to her a...
