Chapter 243 Broken Book

Yun Li shook his head: "My silly sister, the things before this can only be regarded as appetizers. The last thing to appear is the good stuff. This Frost Sword is not worthy of your fourth brother's eyes."

"Then what have you been looking at?" Yun Shuning just finished speaking when he suddenly smiled and turned his head slightly and said, "Oh~ I was looking at the girl."

"Well, no, no, don't talk nonsense." Yun Li waved his hands hurriedly.

Yun Shuning chuckled and stopped teasing him, his eyes returning to the table.

Sure enough, the items that came up for auction one after another were just as Yun Li had said, each one was more rare than the last. She hadn't seen anything that interested her and was so bored that she kept yawning while waiting.

At this moment, the beautiful woman high-fived and a book was brought up.

The book seemed to be an ancient book, with yellowed and worn pages, and even the words on the cover could not be seen clearly. The crowd sighed: "What is this? Why is it so worn out? Who wants it?"

"That's right. I don't even want it if it's given to me for free. You want me to spend money to bid for it? It's simply unbelievable."

"This is an ancient book collected by the auction house. If you don't like it, please don't slander it. Antiquities are spiritual and there will always be people who appreciate them. This ancient book has a starting price of one thousand and two taels of silver." The beautiful woman smiled and didn't care about everyone's comments at all.

Yun Shuning was not in a very interested mood at first, but the moment the ancient book appeared, a strange feeling surged in her heart, as if the ancient book was calling her from somewhere.

"Host, please take a picture of this ancient book. It will be of great use to me!" Xiaobai's anxious voice sounded in his mind.

Yun Shuning suppressed the throbbing in his heart, frowned and asked, "What's the use?"

"Oh, I can't explain it clearly right away, just take a picture of it!" Xiaobai said anxiously, jumping up and down beside Yun Shuning.

Yun Shuning looked at the ancient books on the display stand, his eyes gradually became deep, and he said, "One thousand five hundred taels."

The beautiful woman looked at her and raised her lips: "This girl is really good at judging. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

Everything was quiet.

This is just a broken book, and no one even knows who wrote it. It has neither practical value nor collection value. Buying it would be a waste of money. No one is willing to spend money to compete with Yun Shuning for it, and some even look at her as if she is an idiot.

Yun Li sat upright, protecting Yun Shuning with his eyes, and glared back at all the unfriendly glances directed at him.

"One thousand five hundred taels once, one thousand five hundred taels twice..."

"One thousand six hundred taels!"

Sun Lingyi suddenly spoke up, stopping the beautiful woman from continuing.

But she still hated Yun Shuning, and now that she had the chance to compete with her, she had to seize it.

Even though she didn't want this crappy book at all, she subconsciously wanted to fight for it.

Sun Zhengze's face immediately darkened. He grabbed Sun Lingyi's wrist, his eyes full of threats: "You want to make the same mistake again, right? Think about your identity and your own strength. If you bid again, you will have to pay for it yourself. I will never care about you a cent!"

Sun Lingyi was frightened by his eyes and shrank her neck. She withdrew her hand awkwardly, but her eyes were still stubborn. She just didn't believe that her elder brother could be so cruel as to ignore her at the critical moment.

Yun Shuning glanced at her and said calmly, "One thousand seven hundred taels."

Just as Sun Lingyi was about to open her mouth, Yun Li suddenly said, "Mr. Sun and Miss Sun bought a beauty pill in the sales area for 5,500 taels of silver. Now they can even come up with money to bid for this ancient book. It seems that the Sun family is really financially powerful and should not be underestimated."

Sun Zhengze felt a chill on his back. He said without hesitation, "Mr. Yun, you are too kind. My sister is naughty and ignorant. My Sun family does not want this ancient book."

"Brother!" Sun Lingyi pouted in dissatisfaction: "I want it!"

"Shut up!" Sun Zhengze looked panicked, and quickly covered her mouth, lowering his voice and saying, "If you want the Sun Mansion to be safe and sound, and want to continue your life as a young lady, then don't say anything!"

The tone was full of threats and panic.

Sun Lingyi finally realized the seriousness of the situation, swallowed, and stopped talking.

"In that case, then this ancient book belongs to this lady." The beautiful woman waved her hand, and immediately a servant handed the ancient book to Yun Shuning with both hands.

Yun Li waved his hand and took out a silver note for two thousand taels: "No need for change."

"Thank you, fourth brother." Yun Shuning took the ancient book in his hand and flipped through it with full concentration, without even raising his head.

Xiao Bai's excited voice kept echoing in her ears: "Host, quickly put it into the space and let me see it, quickly, quickly!"

Yun Shuning was so flustered by his urging that he didn't care whether anyone saw him or not. He found a more hidden position and put the ancient book into the space. Xiaobai, who had been making a lot of noise, immediately fell silent.

Yun Shuning called out several times but received no response.

Fortunately, after putting the ancient book into the space, her heart palpitations eased a lot and she no longer felt uncomfortable, so she felt at ease.

Next, the beautiful woman displayed several rare treasures in succession, and Yun Li successfully bought a long whip and a long sword.

After the last item, the Jade Omen, was sold, the auction ended. As Yun Shuning walked out, he couldn't help but glance at the second floor.

Look at the figure of the man who took the photo of Yu Zhao and was wearing a half-covered silver mask. Why does he look so much like Jiang Yu?

"What are you looking at?" Yun Li followed her gaze and looked towards the second floor curiously.

Yun Shuning lowered his eyes: "Nothing, Fourth Brother, let's go back."

"Okay." Yun Li nodded contentedly.

After the two of them left side by side, two figures hidden behind the curtain on the second floor slowly walked out.

Chen Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for successfully obtaining this jade omen. It can be said that it was obtained without any effort..."

He lifted the beaded curtain in front of Jiang Yu and said, "The carriage is ready outside. Should we go back home?"

Jiang Yu smiled and raised the corners of his lips: "No, I have more important places to go."
