Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Favored by a Beauty, the Treatment is Indeed Very Good Chapter 685: Chapter 685: Favored by a Beauty, the Treatment is Indeed Very Good And currently, only these few families are desperately wanting to get the Pill of Life.

For a moment, everyone understood…

The Medicine Queen probably only wanted to meet with them, she did not want to meet with the others.

Indeed, the fourth auction item was an antique porcelain vase, which Hua Ling’s father was fond of; wasn’t this something targeted specifically at the Hua Family to draw out?

But there were still those who refused to believe in evil spirits and insisted on competing. In the end, they could not match the financial power of Hua Ling, and the item was bought by Hua Ling.

“Congratulations, Young Master Hua!” the host congratulated him from the stage, while Hua Ling smiled with a hidden meaning from below.

Heh, this Lan Family, deliberately tricking Old Master Hua into spending his money!

If it weren’t for wanting to meet the Medicine Queen, he wouldn’t have spent hundreds of thousands to buy an item worth just tens of thousands…

Actually, he was still quite lucky.

The Wan Family was also fortunate, as they bought the first auction item for 500,000, and that bottle of red wine was worth over a hundred thousand, so they didn’t suffer much loss.

However, the second time, everyone’s competitive spirit was much stronger, and they failed to notice the problem, blindly raising their bids.

In the end, the Yun Family spent over six hundred thousand to buy an item worth only a few thousand…

And there was the third auction item, which sold for an even higher price, forcing Old Master Li to spend nearly a million to purchase a medicinal wine worth a few hundred…

He was the most pitifully deceived!

With their experience as a comparison, it became clear to everyone that there was a problem, so during the fourth auction, many gave up the futile competition.

That allowed Hua Ling to not waste too much money unnecessarily and not be as badly duped.

However, the families that followed were fortunate.

After all, the four auction items had confirmed their previous suspicions and speculations, so when the fifth auction item targeting the least prominent Huang Family among the eight families appeared, almost everyone was sure about that guess.

So, this time there wasn’t much competition, and the Huang Family bought the auction item at a very low price.

Next, the sixth item was brought out targeting the Shao Family…

The Shao Family also made the purchase for very little money.

The seventh was targeting the Luo Family, alright, this time there was no competition at all, and Hao Yansen spent only ten thousand to acquire the auction item.

Everyone knew very well that this was the Lan Family intentionally going easy on the following families!

The Huang Family had always been currying favor with the Lan and Shao Families, so they weren’t duped too much.

The Shao Family was related to the Lan Family, so they weren’t duped either…

Everyone knew that Lan Yue was fond of Luo Baichuan; there was even less duping there, perhaps it was even a veiled act of kindness.

This caused many young talents with their eyes on Lan Yue to feel secretly frustrated.

Being favored by a beauty certainly came with good treatment…

Hua Ling was the most frustrated, he too was a handsome man, so why deceive him?!

The Li Family was the most aggrieved, being the most severely duped. But since the Li Family had been suppressed by the Hua Family for some time, and were now in a precarious position, they had no choice but to keep a low profile and couldn’t afford to offend anyone.

Therefore, they could only swallow this loss in secrecy, since they needed favors from others at the moment.

The Yun and Wan Families were also annoyed, but with the most pitiful Li Family as a cushion, they didn’t feel as bad…

As long as they could meet the Medicine Queen tonight, they would bear the loss as it was, as long as they could get the Pill of Life!

But Yun Feng harbored some silent resentment.

Despite her constant efforts to please Lan Yue, it turned out that Lan Yue didn’t take their Yun Family seriously at all…
