1888 Slap on Face 3
Her face turned green with anger.

Was Duan Feng going to accompany Gu Chaoyan on a tour of the auction house?

She had never been treated with such disregard before.

Piaomiao Pavilion had always provided the best pills, and their cooperation with Haitian Auction House had been for the benefit of the market.

Yet they were treating her worse than Gu Chaoyan?

Zhao Dier felt a sense of injustice.

She had already lost the wager.

She didn’t possess an authority token, but Gu Chaoyan did!

She had to obtain one as well!

With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Dier spoke bluntly, “So, you really have no interest in the pills from our Piaomiao Pavilion? My father personally crafted the new pills, and he intends to present them to the Haitian Market. If you have no desire for them, then I shall take my leave.”

Duan Feng did not decline Zhao Dier’s offer.

The pills from Piaomiao Pavilion held significant importance for Haitian Auction House.

However, Piaomiao Pavilion often exhibited arrogance and neglected their own responsibilities. That was why he had purposely acted in that manner.
“New pills? Very well, Elder Miss and I will examine your new offerings,” Duan Feng responded.

Upon hearing Duan Feng’s words, Zhao Dier felt a surge of pride.

The new pills from Piaomiao Pavilion would undoubtedly become part of the Haitian Market.

Thus, she spoke candidly, “Since she possesses the authority token, I won’t give her a hard time. However, even if she possesses the token, I don’t see anyone else bringing pills here on a monthly basis. That doesn’t seem quite appropriate, does it?”

What Zhao Dier presently desired was to acquire a gold medal.

Observing her reaction, Duan Feng maintained a calm smile. “Elder Miss, you might not be aware, but there is a specific requirement for obtaining this special golden token.”

“…?”

“Only high-level pills can be offered to us at Haitian Auction House. And not just any high-level pills, but those of a certain caliber. Ordinary high-level pills that merely enhance magical power would not suffice,” Duan Feng explained directly.

In truth, Piaomiao Pavilion was already qualified to receive the authority token.

However, Duan Feng had deliberately withheld it from them.

The reason was simple.

People from Piaomiao Pavilion often overstepped their boundaries, and granting them too much favor would upset the delicate balance.

Now Zhao Dier was demanding it…

He could accept the payment.

But he needed to provoke Piaomiao Pavilion into producing higher-level pills.

Zhao Dier was taken aback.

So it meant that Gu Chaoyan had offered some rare high-level pills.

But she had none!

“I have some with me today. Take a look!” Zhao Dier exclaimed unhappily. She had always been accustomed to smooth sailing, but everything seemed to go wrong after encountering Gu Chaoyan. It was infuriating!

She had to surpass her!

Duan Feng calmly nodded and accompanied Zhao Dier to the designated area.

The masked man trailed behind.

Finding him irritating, Zhao Dier impatiently remarked, “Step aside and don’t obstruct my path.”

Anxious to position herself next to Duan Feng, she intended to showcase her status by walking side by side with him during the inspection of the pills.

Duan Feng was momentarily startled as the masked man was dismissed. He was about to say something in response…
