Chapter 1837: The Tug of War(1/2)
It was like a snowball. The three families came and went. One moment, Ye Guhai quoted, the next the Mu family quoted, and then the Wen family.
No one was willing to take a step back, and the Mu family suddenly came in, which was both expected and unexpected by everyone.
Nowadays, the layout of the Sifang City is three-legged, namely the City Lord's Mansion, the Wen Family, and the Mu Family.
Any family that obtains the Xu Ni Stone can quickly surpass the other two, so no one wants to be surpassed by the other.
The City Lord's Mansion and the Wen family have been fighting for so many years, but they have always been in peace, mainly because of the existence of the Mu family.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, and as the third party, the Mu family will naturally become the biggest winner.
Therefore, in the past few years, the City Lord's Mansion and the Wen family have only had small-scale conflicts, which have not reached the level of life and death.
"One million six hundred thousand!"
Ye Guhai had a very relaxed expression on his face. The City Lord's Mansion had not had much expenses in recent years and had accumulated a lot of fairy stones in his hands.
"One million seven hundred thousand!"
The head of the Mu family has an expressionless face, and his appearance is very strange, like a piece of wood stuck there. He is so thin that if you don't pay attention, you might think it is a piece of tree trunk.
"One million and eight hundred thousand!"
Wen Changxing was also unhurried, and the speed at which the three of them increased their prices turned from intense to tug-of-war.
If the Mu family gets the Xuni stone, Wen Changxing won't be afraid. At worst, he will discuss it with the Mu family and buy it from him at a high price.
Falling into the city lord's mansion is another matter.
The Mu family's background is not as strong as the two of them, and they dare not offend them head-on. It is very difficult to find out in this situation.
The Mu family is betting that both of them will lose, so they can pick up what they have.
"two millions!"
Ye Guhai suddenly increased the price from 1.8 million to 2 million, a full increase of 200,000.
Tell everyone directly that the City Lord's Mansion is bound to be won.
Logically speaking, after Ye Guhai finished calling out the price, it was the Mu family's turn to call out the price.
For some reason, after the head of the Mu family heard about two million, he looked at Ye Guhai meaningfully.
Two million immortal stones is definitely a huge sum for the Mu family.
Liu Wuxie killed so many people to get millions of fairy stones. The Mu family is one of the three major forces in Sifang City, and their annual income is at least several million.
The millions referred to here are not owned by the head of the Mu family, but by many Mu family members.
Everyone's eyes fell on the face of the head of the Mu family. If he gave up, it would be Wen Changxing's turn to make an offer.
Wen Changxing is also waiting. If the Mu family withdraws, only the Wen family will be left competing with the City Lord's Mansion, and that will be a real hand-to-hand battle.
"Two million and one million!"
The head of the Mu family hesitated for three breaths, and finally made the offer.
The three companies have been raising prices for so long, but Gu Yi never spoke, nor did he stir up their emotions. He quietly watched the three companies competing for each other.
"Two million three hundred thousand!"
Wenchangxing also increased the price by 200,000, and the price soared very quickly.
Invisibly, the Wen family and the city lord's mansion actually reached an agreement, with the purpose of driving the Mu family out, leaving the two of them to compete.
This is the auction house, an invisible battle.
It really surprised everyone that the hostile relationship could be united for a short time.
The City Lord's Mansion and the Wen family temporarily joined forces to suppress the Mu family, and everyone smelled the smoke.
"Two million six hundred thousand!"
Ye Guhai increased the price by 300,000 this time and continued to put pressure on the Mu family.
There was no room for error in the entire plan, and Ye Guhai had to speed up.
It was the Mu family's turn again, and there was silence again. The entire auction house was silent, with only everyone's breathing echoing in the air.

One day ago!
A report appeared in Ye Guhai's hand. This report was collected by him according to Liu Wuxie's request.
It records the Mu family's income for a year, as well as the resources that the Mu family can mobilize, in very detail.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle. It can be seen from the report that the Mu family's bottom line is three million.
If it exceeds this number, the Mu family may have to withdraw, so Ye Guhai adjusts the price to three million as soon as possible.
Ye Guhai knew the income of the Wen family very well. In the past few days, the Wen family had conducted a large-scale investigation and sold several properties. The number of fairy stones that the Wen family could mobilize now was estimated to be around four million.
The two families probably knew how many fairy stones Ye Guhai had in his hands.
"Two million and seven hundred thousand!"
This time the Mu family quoted a very happy price, still increasing the price by 100,000.
"three million!"
When it was Wen Changxing's turn, he raised the price by 300,000 like Ye Guhai.
There were gasps of air from all around, and for the first time, a sky-high price of three million was recorded at the Sifang City auction house.
Hearing this number, the head of the Mu family felt like a deflated rubber ball. It was similar to the information Ye Guhai had investigated. If it exceeded three million, the Mu family might give up.
This is the bottom line. After all, a golden fairy weapon cannot be refined from a Xu Ni stone, and other auxiliary materials are needed.
The Wen family has almost collected it over the years, but the Mu family and the City Lord's Mansion will need several years to prepare even if they buy the Suni stone.
"Three million and one million!"
Ye Guhai was still making bids in an orderly manner, but this time he only added 100,000.
The psychological expectations have been met. What we need to do now is to let the Wen family draw more blood.
Time passed little by little, and five breaths had passed since the price of Ye Gu's poster was completed, and there was still no movement from the Mu family.
Countless eyes fell on the face of the head of the Mu family, but the latter remained indifferent.
Gu Yi didn't push him. Logically speaking, he should call out the price at this time. If no one responded after three times, it would be considered a deal.
"Our Mu family quits!"
The head of the Mu family announced his withdrawal from the competition.
The moment the head of the Mu family announced his withdrawal, Liu Wuxie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. His plan had been 90% successful, and there was only one final step left.
And this level is not at the auction house.
The Mu family had already withdrawn, and everyone's eyes naturally fell on Wen Changxing's face.
"Ye Guhai, we are the only two families left. No matter how much you bid, our Wen family will follow."
Wen Changxing said almost word for word, the Wen family will decide on this Xu Ni stone.
"What a joke. The one with the highest auction price will get it. If you want to buy the Xu Ni Stone, let's see who has more Immortal Stones."
Ye Guhai fought back forcefully, and the auction entered a fierce stage. It was just a warm-up.
"Three and a half million!"
Wen Changxing didn't want to talk too much, so he directly added 400,000 yuan, raising the price to 3.5 million yuan.
Wending and the others bought it from the outside world, but they only spent about three million. This Xu Ni stone was already beyond its value.
Now it is no longer a question of value, it is a matter of life and death.
No matter how many fairy stones there are, being crushed by the opponent is still a dead end.
When Wen Changxing quoted 3.5 million, Ye Guhai clearly showed a ferocious look on his face, which caught everyone's eyes. It seemed that he was approaching his limit.
Time flowed slowly like water, and no one rushed it. On the contrary, they hoped that the auction would last longer.
Little did they know that Ye Guhai was deliberately delaying time.
According to his speculation, Wu Sheng and the others should be nearing the end.
