The Human Emperor (1-200)

C144: Su Zhengchen Appears!

“Lord Huang, this location is prepared for those interested in the saber. If you aren’t here to bid for the saber, please leave the premises now. Also, even if Lord Huang intends to bid for it…”

Li Lin glanced at the metal token in Huang Xiaotian’s hand with a deep glance, as though mocking him, and said:

“…you should change your token first. This kind of metal token that can be bought with ten gold taels… only qualifies one to stand at the very back!”

At which, Li Lin gestured to the very back of the hall.

Boom!

Hearing those words, the crowd immediately burst into laughter. If Huang Xiaotian succeeded, everyone would admire him for his righteousness. However, since he failed, it meant that there was nothing wrong with the weapons that Chong gongzi forged.

The nature of the event was completely different then.

There were quite a few among the crowd who had been displeased with Huang Xiaotian from the very start. Upon seeing him make a fool out of himself, how could they miss this ideal opportunity to mock him?

“You! ——”

Glaring furiously at Li Lin, who was standing behind the black metal table, his face flushed in rage. It had been long since he made his name in the Imperial Army, and he possessed deep qualifications to match his standing. There was no one who didn’t greet him respectfully upon seeing him.

Yet, to be mocked before such a large crowd, how could he tolerate such humiliation?

Huang Xiaotian was about to lash out, but Li Lin didn’t give him the chance to.

“Everyone, I believe that you all have witnessed the quality of the Death’s Abyss for yourself. The longer the weapon, the easier it breaks. However, the weapon my nephew forged broke this convention! Let’s resume the bidding now. The previous bid is 190,000 taels, is there anyone who wishes to raise the bid?”

Li Lin turned his gaze from Huang Xiaotian to the crowd below.

“Me! Me! Me! I offer 200,000!”

“Tsk, what does 200,000 taels count as? I offer 220,000!”

“230,000!”

…

Huang Xiaotian’s two Adamantine Storm Fingers had flicked out the enthusiasm in the crowd. The quality of this saber was simply way too high! Not only was it sharp enough to cut through metal as though mud, it was even able to remain undamaged from the two flicks of Huang Xiaotian’s Adamantine Storm Finger. Just by these itself, this saber was definitely one of the best, if not the best, in the world!

“240,000!”

This time, the voice came from behind. Taken aback, Li Lin realized that it came from the Imperial Army commander seated on Zhao Fengchen’s right. He was staring at the Death’s Abyss in Li Lin’s hands with an exceedingly passionate gaze.

“Why, Lord Li, can’t we participate in this auction?”

The Imperial Army commander who goes by the surname of Zhou asked.

“Of course! Of course you can!”

Li Lin smiled brightly in agitation. Why would he say no? This was what he wanted!

“240,000, is there any higher bidder?”

“250,000!”

This time, it was the commander by Zhao Fengchen’s left. The passion in his gaze didn’t lose out to the other.
