Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 97 Tian Zhiyuan

The maid had already guessed that Tang Zhuer would say that, which was why she didn't want to confront Tang Zhuer.

Judging from Tang Zhuer's attitude, she definitely won't let her off the hook afterward.

In that case, she should be even more careful to protect the young VIP in front of her.

As long as she doesn't make a mistake, the auction house is her safe haven.

“Miss Tang, this young lady is our honored guest. I am speaking on behalf of the auction house.” The maid spoke to Tang Zhuer with neither servility nor arrogance.

The dispute on the third floor has already alarmed the auction house's management.

Once he understood the whole story and learned that Xie Yuwei possessed the Supreme Spirit Card, he knew what to do.

He went up to the third floor and heard Tang Zhuer's words. He immediately said to Tang Zhuer, "Miss Tang, what this maid said means the auction house."

The person in charge of the auction house is surnamed Tian and named Tian Zhiyuan.

He knew that Xie Yuwei's spirit card was not only the supreme card of the Spirit Kingdom, but also had a special mark on the back.

Based on this special mark alone, the auction house would not dare to neglect Xie Yuwei.

Tang Zhuer was unaware of the details. Seeing that everyone at the auction house was defending Xie Yuwei, she assumed that Xie Yuwei was relying on Ming Zihui's connections. Her mean face became even more ferocious.

"You just wait!" In this auction house, Tang Zhu'er could do nothing but utter harsh words to Xie Yuwei.

Xie Yuwei didn't take her seriously at all.

She led her younger siblings, Sun Shize, and Sun Xiaoxiao into the superior private room that had been arranged for them at the auction.

Many people witnessed the farce that unfolded on the third floor.

Seeing the auction house treat Xie Yuwei with such courtesy, they took Xie Yuwei seriously.

The auction was about to begin, and the maids at the auction house brought the catalog of the items to be auctioned to the private room in advance.

She respectfully said to Xie Yuwei, "Young lady, these are the items we need to auction today. Please take a look and see if there's anything you need."

"Thank you!" Xie Yuwei said to the maid.

The maidservant, flattered and overwhelmed, withdrew.

Hearing the maid's words, Xie Yuchen urged Xie Yuwei, "Sister, take a look at what's being auctioned today."

As he wished, Xie Yuwei opened the picture album that the maid had brought in.

Xie Yuchen, Xie Yufei, Sun Shize, and Sun Xiaoxiao leaned forward curiously to take a look.

When they saw that the first page of the album was actually the Golden Bell Cover, Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei exchanged a disappointed glance.

It's like an invincible shield!

They have it too, so it's not surprising.

Xie Yuwei turned to the second page.

The group looked at the picture book expectantly.

When they saw the Fire Lark, Xie Yuchen and Xie Yufei were disappointed again.

Firebird!
They have it too.

Sun Shize and Sun Xiaoxiao had seen Xie Yuchen and Xie Yuwei use the Fire Cloud Sparrow before, so they weren't very interested in it.

When Xie Yuwei turned to the third page and saw that the third page was actually a collection of cards, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but complain, "Why are they all cards?"

He refused to believe it and quickly turned to the next page.

After discovering that the contents of the back of the picture book were all cards made by his sister, he completely lost interest in the items in the picture book.

Next, he wanted to see how the auction would be conducted to auction off the cards his sister had made. The auction began quickly, and the auctioneer went to the auction stage to explain the rules to everyone.

After the auctioneer finished explaining the rules, the auction began immediately.

The first item up for auction was the Golden Bell Cover, personally crafted by Xie Yuwei.

There is one beginner level, one intermediate level, and one advanced level of the Golden Bell Cover.

Listening to the auctioneer's effusive praise of Xie Yuwei's cards, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but ask, "Sister, did you make those cards yourself?"

Xie Yuwei nodded and said, "Yes!"

She guessed that the auction house was related to Uncle Huang. She had entrusted all her cards to Uncle Huang, and how Uncle Huang managed and promoted them had nothing to do with her.

But looking at it today, it seems that Uncle Huang sold most of her cards at a low price and auctioned off a small portion.

In this way, the price of the cards can be kept at a constant level.

These powerful and wealthy individuals could acquire her cards through auctions, so they didn't have to keep too close a eye on the Celestial Card Maker.

Once they obtain her cards, they can take them back to study and replicate them.

The first auction ended quickly, with the three Golden Bell Covers being won by the Qin, Wu, and Wu families respectively at astonishing prices.

Upon hearing these transaction prices, Xie Yuchen asked Xie Yuwei incredulously, "Sister, are your cards really that valuable?"

Did my sister not receive much money from Uncle Huang?

Did Uncle Huang secretly keep it?
They deducted so much?

Xie Yuwei remained calm and composed. She smiled at Xie Yuchen and said, "Uncle Huang only took what he deserved. Don't overthink it!"

Although Sun Shize didn't know who the Uncle Huang they were talking about was, he still mentioned something he knew:
"Don't be fooled by the high prices of the Golden Bell Shield at the auction. I know some of my classmates who bought their basic Golden Bell Shields at the Karing Hall for only five thousand taels of silver, and their intermediate Golden Bell Shields for only ten thousand taels of silver."

This is the price that Xie Yuwei paid in the transaction with Manager Huang.

Manager Huang didn't make a single penny; he simply sold Jie Yuwei's cards to these students.

Xie Yuchen was very skeptical. He said to Xie Yuwei and Sun Shize, "Were those cards made by the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker herself?"

Sun Shize firmly stated, "These cards were personally made by the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker, and they have had them verified."

Xie Yuchen looked at Xie Yuwei, and this—he just didn't understand.

Xie Yuwei tapped Xie Yuchen's head and said, "Don't think about things you can't understand! Just know that Uncle Huang is sincere to us."

Xie Yuchen scratched his head, unable to figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

However, Xie Yufei rolled her eyes thoughtfully, and she vaguely understood why Uncle Huang did this.

After the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker's Golden Bell Shield was auctioned off, the next step was for other card makers to copy the Golden Bell Shield.

The auctioneer announced on stage, "Although these Golden Bell Shields were not made by the Celestial Maiden Card Maker herself, their defensive power is only 20% weaker than the Golden Bell Shields made by the Celestial Maiden Card Maker herself."

"The spiritual energy consumed is only 60% higher than that of cards made by the Celestial Maiden Card Maker herself!"

"These cards were personally replicated by a Saint-level card maker. The auction is now starting!"

Another bidding frenzy erupted at the auction.

Inside the room, Xie Yuchen asked, puzzled, "Sister, these Golden Bell Shields are 20% weaker than those of the Heavenly Maiden Card Makers, yet they consume six times more spiritual energy. Why are they still so reckless?"

Jie Yuwei smiled but remained silent.

Not everyone can perfectly replicate her cards.

Sun Shize chimed in, "You're still not satisfied with a 20% reduction in defense and a six-fold increase in spiritual energy consumption?"
