"Thank you for speaking up for me."
Heng Yanlin looked at Shan Haizhen and spoke to her with a grateful expression.
Hearing that, Shan Haizhen had a gentle smile on his face as he spoke to Heng Yanlin. At the moment, Heng Yanlin could be considered her male companion.
It was just that the current situation was not right. Otherwise, with her usual temper, these people would probably be out of luck.
Hearing Shan Haizhen's words, Heng Yanlin smiled slightly, and nodded his head, he did not say anymore, with words of gratitude, there was no need to say anymore, at that time, all he needed to do was to use his actions to express his gratitude.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to begin. Thank you all for being able to attend!"
The two of them sat by the side. While they were conversing, a man with a gentle smile on his face walked out from the middle of the stage. After which, he looked at the crowd below and spoke.
In front of him, there was a microphone. Therefore, his voice directly spread throughout the large hall.
When everyone heard this voice, the originally conversing voices all quieted down at this moment. All of them turned their gazes towards the auctioneer. When the auctioneer saw this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He looked around and spoke.
"I guess everyone doesn't care what my name is, so they won't introduce themselves. Everyone just needs to know that my surname is Li."
When the crowd heard this, a smile immediately appeared on their faces. It was obvious that they were amused by the other party's words.
"Alright, let's cut the crap. Let's take a look. It's the first item in this auction."
At this time, the auctioneer directly waved his hand and a female servant brought over a plate. The plate was covered by a red cloth and was then placed before the auctioneer.
The auctioneer did not stop at this moment. He did not touch the red cloth either. He only glanced at the servant girl beside him before speaking up.
"This is from a jade bowl of the Tang Dynasty. Legend has it that it was used by Li Shimin and its value is extremely high. However, everyone should be clear about its origin, so they didn't say anything."
As the auctioneer spoke, he lifted up the red cloth and directly displayed the item on the plate.
This place was not like other places. Since the other party said that it was the Tang Dynasty's bowl, then it meant that someone had specially tested it. There should not be any mistakes.
This item is nothing compared to other places. If you dare to fool them here, there will be big trouble. No one will be willing to go to any of the banquets you set up later.
This is like a question of trust. Once you lose your trust, it will not be so simple to find it again in the future.
However, this was only limited to the age of the bowl. As for whether or not Li Shimin had used it before, it was worth considering. After all, this kind of thing was hard to say.
However, it was extremely difficult for them to find evidence. Thus, they did not pay too much attention to it.
The red cloth was lifted by the auctioneer, revealing a somewhat old bowl. Although it was a little old, the bowl still appeared to be slightly oily and shiny.
Just based on this work, it was enough for people to praise him. However, at this moment, Heng Yanlin was slightly startled as he looked at the bowl.
With Heng Yanlin's incomparably powerful memory, he was clearly able to recognize that bowl was one of the things Heng Yanlin had brought out of the tomb earlier.
He did not expect that he would actually be able to see such a thing here. It seemed that the energy of the sea was quite great and it was placed in the auction house.
"What, is there a problem with this bowl?"
Seeing Heng Yanlin's somewhat strange expression, that Shan Haizhen also asked Heng Yanlin a little strangely at this time.
Hearing that, Heng Yanlin looked at Shan Haizhen, and then shook his head. He could not say that this thing was something that he had taken out from the tomb.
If that was the case, he did not know what Shan Haizhen would think.
"It's nothing. It's just that I'm a little surprised to see the Tang Dynasty's bowl here."
At this time, Heng Yanlin directly said this with a smile. Even though he couldn't say what had happened previously, he still had to find an excuse.
Otherwise, it would be impolite of him to not tell her about what reason he thought Heng Yanlin had.
"Yea, I never thought that I would be able to see Tang Dynasty's bowls here. After that, I can't afford it, can I?"
Just as Heng Yanlin had finished speaking, before Shan Haizhen, who was at the side, had the time to reply, a slightly familiar voice rang beside Heng Yanlin's ears.
When Heng Yanlin and Shan Haizhen heard this, they immediately understood who said those words, but even if they looked towards the direction of the voice angrily.
On the side, Lang Ye and Xiao Dao's faces both carried a hint of ridicule, and looked straight at Heng Yanlin. The provocation in their voices, went without saying.
At this moment, it was obvious to everyone that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble. However, those who had noticed the commotion only glanced at them and did not say anything.
How could they possibly stick their heads out for Heng Yanlin? Moreover, Zhao Sitian and the others at the side also noticed this scene, and a hint of a schadenfreude smile appeared on their faces as they looked at Heng Yanlin.
Without mentioning anything else,'s earlier attitude and Shan Haizhen's words, had made them feel quite a bit of disgust towards Heng Yanlin.
However, they were still women after all, so it was naturally inconvenient for them to argue with Heng Yanlin. They could only turn around and leave, but with the two of them finding trouble with Heng Yanlin, they sat to the side and watched the scene with some joy.
As long as the other party started a fierce conflict with Heng Yanlin, it would naturally be for the best. If there was no conflict, it would also be fine to severely humiliate Heng Yanlin.
As long as Heng Yanlin's face was severely sullied, then you, Shan Haizhen, would most likely be able to understand their intentions before.
Only, the current them did not care about this anymore. They only cared about how Heng Yanlin got humiliated by these people.
Then, they hid to the side and watched as the joke continued. They didn't think that Lang Ye and the others would cause trouble for Heng Yanlin for no reason at all.
In their eyes, seeing how Heng Yanlin was acting, there should be someone looking for trouble with him, if not, why did they not look for trouble with others?
At this time, Heng Yanlin heard these words and immediately turned his head, as if he was very angry. From the looks of it, he had been provoked three or four times, and that made Heng Yanlin very unhappy.
At this time, Shan Haizhen, who was at the side, also looked at the two of them with a face full of anger. She had never thought that the other party had already provoked them once before, and now that they were back, was he really looking down on her?
When she thought of this, a cold light flashed in her eyes. Her eyes were incomparably cold as she looked at the two of them. Were these two fellows tired of living?
At this time, Lang Ye and Yue Shan also noticed the expression in Shan Haizhen's eyes. They immediately pulled back their heads and looked at each other with a little fear.
From the looks of it, there was no need to say anymore. He could already tell that Shan Haizhen was angry, and the two of them were probably going to have great misfortune in the future.
Both of them forcefully suppressed the fear in their hearts and did not allow themselves to escape. Since this matter had already been agreed to, and it had already proceeded to this point, if they continued to retreat like this, the punishment would definitely not be little.
If that was the case, then they had even less reason to run. If the two of them were to run away in peace, it would only make things worse in their hearts.
"Whether I can buy it or not doesn't seem to be that big of a relationship. What do you all want?"
On Heng Yanlin's face, there was the perfect amount of anger, and he directly looked at the two hostages and asked. Heng Yanlin's anger, after being looked at like this by the two of them, was immediately overjoyed.
Regardless of anything else, as long as Heng Yanlin was truly angry, then their goal had been achieved. They were previously afraid, and the anger they had towards Heng Yanlin was not enough, but now, it seemed that was enough.
No, that's right, they were the ones who provoked him first, and in the end Heng Yanlin was the one who took the blame, as though Heng Yanlin was in the wrong, and was directly looked down upon by the people at the side.
After that, those few women directly ran over to Heng Yanlin and mocked him a few more times. Most likely, in their hearts, their anger had already reached its peak.
The two of them were immediately overjoyed. With Shan Haizhen by their side, they did not dare to stay any longer, so seeing that they had already achieved their goal, they prepared to slip away.
"Hmph, it's just that this is a high-end location, yet a poor bloke has entered. We don't like him."
At this time, Lang Ye did not have the slightest trace of politeness in his tone at all as he spoke.
"However, it seems a little shameful to talk to someone like him. Let's just leave so we don't lose our identities."
Xiao Dao and Lang Ye had already coordinated for who knows how many years, so when they looked at each other, they knew what they were thinking. After looking coldly at Heng Yan, Xiao Dao and Lang Ye turned and left without any hesitation.
