Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Shu Qinglan Appears!
A yellow talisman, once discarded like a worn-out shoe by Father Shu, was now at the centre of the Lin Family’s intense bidding war!!
The price suddenly skyrocketed to 30 million yuan!
This felt as unreal as a dream!
Consider this: The value of the storefront property in Jiangnan City that Chen Zihuan gave to Shu Qinghan is only 30-40 million yuan!
Now, the talisman drawn by Huang Xiaolong roughly had the same value as that store!
In other words, Huang Xiaolong could keep drawing talismans, which would be even more terrifying than a money printer!
“Master… Mas… Master Zicong… you mean… that… that spirit talisman… you… you are… you are going to buy it for 30 million yuan?” Father Shu stammered at Lin Zicong.
Lin Zicong asserted his dominance, glaring at his uncles, “Uncles, stop fighting. Consider it a favour I owe you all.”
Several second-generation members of the Lin family looked downtrodden. Obviously, if they weren’t afraid of Lin Zicong’s arrogance and dominance, they would have insisted on raising the price.
“Yes, you heard me correctly. Bring the talisman, and I will write you a check,” Lin Zicong stated firmly.
“Bring… bring the talisman… right away!” Father Shu ordered his servants.
He was also a bit excited. 30 million was not a small sum for him.
At that moment, Chen Zihuan’s face turned pale green. He spat out begrudgingly, “Heh, I see. This is a rigged auction. I don’t believe that a piece of yellow paper with some nonsense symbols drawn on it can fetch tens of millions. Do you really think everyone else is an idiot?”
Many people present nodded silently to Chen Zihuan’s doubts.
At this very moment, no one was willing to believe that the talisman Huang Xiaolong gave to Shu Qinghan was worth 30 million. They suspected that Lin Zicong and Huang Xiaolong collaborated to produce this spectacle to hype Huang Xiaolong’s talisman!
“Master Chen Zihuan. Do you think the talisman drawn by my master isn’t worth 30 million?” Lin Zicong asked, looking at Chen Zihuan coldly, his defiant gaze making Chen Zihuan uncomfortable.
“Hmph! I, Chen Zihuan, have experienced much of the world since I was young. I’m not a bumpkin! A yellow talisman paper, even if it has some power, definitely isn’t worth that much!” Chen Zihuan insisted.
“Hahaha! A frog in a well! My master is a supreme talent whose skills are out of this world! With your limited view, how could you understand?” Lin Zicong laughed mockingly. Then he looked at the crowd, “You all should know what type of person I, Lin Zicong, am. Do you think I would stoop so low as to play out this charade?”
At his words, the crowd went silent.
Yes, as the leader of Binhai’s Four Young Masters, Lin Zicong was famously defiant and disdainful of everything. He indeed had no reason to put on a show here.
“Talk is cheap! Nobody can prove if that talisman actually has the effect of gathering spirits! Speaking of which…” Chen Zihuan brightened up. “Never mind the talisman, what about that alleged ancient medicine your so-called master gave to Miss Qinglan… Surely, you, Lin Zicong, don’t believe such preposterous claims?”
“What’s the matter with that ancient medicine?” Lin Zicong asked.
Immediately, someone seeking to curry favour explained the three pills that Huang Xiaolong gifted to Shu Qinglan and their effects.
The few second-generation members of the Lin family also had a change of expression.
The effects of this ancient medicine were as good as those of an Immortal Pill. They believed Huang Xiaolong’s Spirit Talisman wasn’t ordinary. But, asking them to believe a medicine that could transform a dwarf into a 1.7-meter tall model within a few hours was a bit too much.
“Hahaha! Why… Can’t you speak anymore? Can’t you defend yourself anymore? Hahaha! If you can’t prove the truth of that ancient medicine, the spirit gathering talisman also… is up for debate!” Chen Zihuan gloated.
Just then!
“Master! Master! Madam!” Several of their servants rushed in, panic on their faces!
Their expressions were as if they’d seen a ghost!
“What happened?” Father Shu glared unhappily at the servants. “Do you not know what occasion this is? Stop making a fuss!”
Father Shu was very angry. This gathering was attended by many of Binhai’s high society, and his family’s servants were being reckless, embarrassing him as the host!
“Master! Madam! Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong!” An elderly servant, whose eyes were almost bigger than a bull’s, was so moved that tears glistened in his eyes. “The young mistress has had an accident… The young mistress had an accident…”
“Uncle Meng, have you been drinking? What nonsense are you spouting? The young mistress is right here with us, what could possibly happen to her?” Mother Shu also scolded.
The servant named ‘Uncle Meng’ shook his head repeatedly. “No… it’s not Miss Qinghan… It’s Miss Qinglan who’s in trouble! Something big has happened!”
“Oh no!” Chen Zihuan exaggeratedly yelled out. “Uncles and aunts, surely, Miss Qinglan must’ve taken that unnamed medicine and something went wrong with her body. You need to take her to the hospital quickly! If anything happens to Miss Qinglan… That… That…”
Chen Zihuan pretended to be heartbroken.
Uncle Meng glared at Chen Zihuan, mumbling, “Miss Qinglan is as well as can be. You’re the one who’s going to have an accident!”
“Qinglan!” Mother Shu wailed, grabbing Father Shu’s hand. “Let’s go see her right away! It’s all your fault! All your fault! Qinglan wanted to take the pills earlier and you didn’t stop her, letting her do as she pleased… Look, now there’s a problem! Although Qinglan has been sick since she was young… she’s also our biological daughter! If anything happens to Qinglan today… to Qinglan… I won’t let you off!”
“Enough! What’s the use of blaming me right now? Let’s go see her!” Father Shu was also very anxious.
A large crowd rushed towards the room where Shu Qinglan was staying.
“Zicong, it couldn’t be that the dwarf Shu Qinglan had… had… had taken Master Long’s pills and died, right?” One of the Lin family’s second-generation members asked somberly. “Master Long has shown kindness to our Lin family. If something really happened, our Lin family should step in to comfort Shu Qinglan’s parents…”
“Let’s… let’s not jump to conclusions. Let’s go have a look,” Lin Zicong also rushed forward.
At this point, Shu Qinglan walked out of her room, bathed in moonlight, wearing a new dress bought by her maid.
She took cautious steps, as if walking on clouds. Her heart was indescribable. It felt as if she was dreaming today!
‘If this is a beautiful dream… I hope… I never wake up… Xiaolong… Thank you! You… you… you are my god!’
Just as Shu Qinglan stepped onto the villa’s lawn, a large crowd rushed towards her!
They met!
Then, Father Shu, Mother Shu, Shu Qinghan, Chen Zihuan, Lin Zicong… Everyone froze on the spot, like statues!
They were all stunned!
Everyone looked at Shu Qinglan under the moonlight with shocked expressions. They even held their breaths! They were breathless!
The silence!
The area was completely silent. You could hear a pin drop!
Everyone stared hard at Shu Qinglan, rubbing their eyes, thinking they were hallucinating!
