A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1841

Whatever. It will only worsen the misunderstanding if I keep defending myself. It doesn't matter what she thinks, anyway.

After a moment of silence, many people began to bid for the item.

Soon, after a few rounds of bidding, the price of the bear testicle wine had exceeded a million.

"One million one hundred thousand!" Ye Fan made another bid.

Junie looked at him anxiously. "Why are you still bidding? Are you crazy?"

Glaring at Ye Fan, she pinched his waist forcefully.

It was as though she was determined to pinch Ye Fan to death if he dared to bid again.

Therefore, Ye Fan did not dare to oppose. He had no choice but to stop bidding.

In the end, a wealthy young man successfully won the bid for the bear testicle wine.

"What a pity." Ye Fan sighed.

Junie looked at him disdainfully as she said, "If you are impotent, I can cure you. You don't have to waste your money on that."

Ye Fan glared at her. "I've told you. I wanted to buy it for a friend."

"Fine, it's for your friend. Goodness, how could you use such a lame excuse? It's not like I would tell anyone," Junie muttered softly. She could not bother to argue with him. Ye Fan was rendered speechless.

Time continued to tick away.

Soon, it was evening, and the first day of the auction was coming to an end.

"I think we have to wait for tomorrow's auction to bid for medicinal herbs," Junie said disappointedly.

The faster I get them, the sooner I can heal Ye Fan.

The powerful Ye Fan she knew had been gone for too long, and Junie hoped to see the return of the renowned Chu Tianfan who astounded the world with his powers.

"Hmm, I think so too. Perhaps we should leave first." Ye Fan glanced at the time and realized that Fan Junior would finish school soon.

If he headed there now, he might be able to catch a glimpse of his wife and son.

Naturally, Junie could guess what Ye Fan was thinking.

"Sure, let's go then." Junie nodded in agreement. However, when they had just gotten up from their seats, the staff brought in the final auction item of the day.

"Everyone, the next item shall be the final one for today. I believe many here have seen talismans in novels or tv shows." Xiaoya's clear voice reverberated throughout the hall. The crowd was stunned by her words.

"A talisman? Do you mean magical artifacts used by immortals? The kind that could shake the earth and part the seas? Is there such a thing in the real world?" someone asked out of curiosity. Instantly, the crowd went abuzz.

Many wealthy traders among the crowd started to develop an interest in the item.

After all, there had been numerous legends of immortals since time immemorial.

Thousands of years ago, an emperor sent three thousand golden boys and jade maidens to Penglai Immortal Island to find the secrets to eternal life.

A few hundred years ago, the great physicist Newton devoted himself to the divine arts after making his name in physics.

Were immortal beings for real?

Since thousands of years ago, notable figures of each generation had been searching for answers to this question. Thus, the appearance of a talisman at that day's auction prompted many to speculate whether immortals existed.

Even Ye Fan and Junie, who were planning to leave, became interested and stayed to find out more.

"We can't confirm whether it's something that an immortal used. However, we know that this talisman contains strange energy. Although it can't move mountains or part the seas, it is still immensely powerful! Let's invite a master from the Elysian Faction to demonstrate its power," Xiaoya said softly, creating a suspenseful atmosphere.

Consequently, a man dressed in a robe stepped onto the stage.

They watched him holding a black disc and chanting something inaudible with furrowed brows.

Suddenly, he shouted, "Appear!"

Swoosh!

Immediately, the round disc floated into the air and flashed with lightning before the crowd.

The lightning moved like a snake and struck the floor with force.

The impact sent tiles flying and formed a pit on the floor that was more than one foot deep.

"W-What..." Everyone was at a loss for words.

If they had not witnessed it themselves, they would never have believed that the round disc had enough power to shatter the floor.

The group of wealthy men was shocked and excited at the same time. They asked urgently, "Xiaoya, what... What the heck is this?"

Xiaoya smiled with satisfaction upon seeing the crowd's excitement. "Everyone, this talisman is called Black Jade Disc. It belonged to the previous Elysian Master. Those who know about martial arts should understand that Elysian Faction is adept with Divine Thunderbolt. The previous Elysian Master used a secret technique to craft this Black Jade Disc, allowing it to form the lightning snake everyone saw just now. It's known as Power of Lightning."

Then, she continued to explain, "The Black Jade Disc is an heirloom of the Elysian Faction. It can not only ward off evil but also save lives at critical moments! Feel free to bid for it if you are interested." As Xiaoya continued to talk about the Black Jade Disc, Ye Fan noticed that Junie had a strange expression the moment it appeared.

All these years, Junie had always appeared calm and collected.

She would not flinch even in the face of a disaster.

No matter how dire the situation was, Junie always behaved as if nothing could bother her.

Therefore, Ye Fan hardly ever saw her displaying so much emotion on her face.

"Is that your master's relic?" Ye Fan whispered although he could already guess what it was after hearing Xiaoya's explanation.

Junie did not reply but clasped her hands tightly.

After a while, she finally suppressed her emotions and suggested, "Ye Fan, let's leave."

Having said that, Junie stood up and headed to the door.

She had searched high and low for the Black Jade Disc for many years.

It was something that her master had always carried with him, and he had treasured it very much during his lifetime.

However, Junie did not expect it to turn up here.

As her master's disciple, she desperately wanted to bid for it.

However, their funds were limited.

Since they had not obtained the medicinal herbs to cure Ye Fan, they could not afford to bid for this.

Therefore, it would be better for her to leave than to watch her master's relic fall into another person's hand. Out of sight, out of mind.

However, Junie suddenly heard a deep voice behind her when she reached the door. "Fifty million!"

Junie turned around abruptly upon hearing that.

She was surprised to see a thin figure standing among the crowd, trying to outbid the wealthy men from Jiangbei. "Fifty-one million!" someone countered.

"I offer fifty-two million!" another person shouted.

"Fifty-three million!" said another bidder.

The Black Jade Disc was magical, so naturally, many people tried to bid for it.

Soon, more voices filled the hall.

Since others kept increasing a million to the bid, Ye Fan added ten million to his. "Sixty million!"

His stern and authoritative voice silenced the crowd instantly.

Stunned, Junie stood there and stared at Ye Fan's back profile in a daze.

No one could understand what Junie felt at that moment.

Perhaps she felt touched that there was someone in the world who was willing to disregard his well-being to make her happy.

However, Junie only stood rooted to the ground for a moment.

In no time, she ran to Ye Fan and pinched his waist.

"What are you doing? Do you wish to die? Are you crazy? We only have two hundred million. How can you spend so much money to buy an old disc," Junie scolded Ye Fan. However, Ye Fan answered calmly, "Junie, don't worry. Just leave everything to me. I am familiar with Livingsfill, so I have my ways."

As he was speaking, the bidding for the Black Jade Disc had reached an astronomical sum.

It was now ninety-five million.

"One hundred million!" Ye Fan raised his auction paddle and declared firmly.

"You..." Junie scrunched her nose when Ye Fan refused to listen to her. "Hmph, you can do whatever you want then. Let's see how you are going to get the medicinal herbs tomorrow." Junie was bursting with fury.
