[Volume 4]: Chapter 91 - A Sweet Girl Won’t Be Fooled By The Villainess

Today, those who could enter the auction were not ordinary people. Each one of them was a member of various guard teams. Therefore, even if they had never seen a magic plant before, they were not completely clueless like ordinary people. At this moment, as they watched the black plant writhing and hitting inside the glass box, their faces were filled with shock and they gawked with dumbfounded expressions, rendering the entire hall silent for a moment. Everyone's attention was focused on the glass box. The silence in the auction hall did not last long. Soon, people began to whisper. As more people spoke, the gathering became increasingly noisy, just like a bustling market. The Baron's family guard team responsible for maintaining order did not immediately hush them, as before revealing the magic plant, Baron Miss had predicted the current development and instructed them to temporarily ignore it. After all, the guards from various families were impatient and anxious because they had not found the magic plant. Now that they saw the magic plant they had been eagerly anticipating, naturally, they were extremely excited. It was not wise to forcefully stop them and besides, it was unnecessary. After all, the event being held was an auction. The more fiery the atmosphere, the smoother the auction process would be. Sometimes, influenced by the environment, people could act irrationally. For example, participating in a bidding war... So, now it was only necessary to watch quietly, leaving space for everyone's excitement. However, it could not take too long. Before everyone's excitement subsided, they would directly start the auction, confident that they would get a good price. It was unknown whether the auction was also playing a psychological game, as the guards participating in the auction were excited, their faces flushed, their eyes filled with longing as they silently pledged to successfully bid! They had been searching in Karmes for quite some time, but to no avail. Although some lucky fellows had found the magic plant, who knew if the next lucky one would be them! It was better not to think of it as gambling! Perhaps, they would never find the magic plant in Karmes even if they stayed a lifetime. Wouldn't that be a crying shame? After all, participating in the auction did not cost them their own money, and they could quickly complete the task and return to the royal city. So, why not! Of course, all the people present were loyal servants of various families, and to some extent knew how much money their families could cough up. Therefore, when preparing to bid, they were also quickly calculating how much money their respective masters could come up with. Otherwise, it would be a disaster to randomly bid and then not be able to deliver the money. After all, the Baron family was not to be trifled with. "Qiuer Te, I can't believe what you said was actually true. The Baron family really produced a magic plant!" "Yes, I was doubting it before. It's really inappropriate." "Baron Amelia mentioned the auction to Qiuer Te in advance, presumably having high hopes for the Roseld royal family's successful bidding!" "You can't say that. Everyone wants good things; they must rely on their abilities!" Just waiting to see Baron Amelia embarrass herself by failing to produce the magic plant, but unexpectedly, now it's Qiuer Te who is the butt of the joke!!! Especially the words of the other guards around him were like invisible slaps. Fiercely slapping Qiuer Te's face. Making Qiuer Te's face turn red, gritting his teeth and making a faint 'click' sound, his eyes glaring fiercely at the glass box on the stage, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, shouting in his mind that it was impossible! That noble Miss Baron Amelia actually found the magic plant! He had been searching in Karmes for over a year and hadn't even caught a glimpse of a magic plant. And now, Baron Amelia had found the magic plant and was ready to auction it off. A mere noble's daughter had such incredibly good luck! Since Baron Amelia had the magic plant in her hands and was prepared to auction it, why hadn't she disclosed the information in advance? Instead, from his side... Wait a minute! Suddenly, he realized something, which made Qiuer Te's eyes widen. He was so infuriated that his forehead bulged, and he wished he could draw his sword and duel immediately. Damn it! Since his visit, he had fallen into the trap deliberately set by Baron Amelia. Everything was deliberate. For her, he had wasted so much effort. What's worse, he had been so proud of himself before. It was precisely because of his extravagant promotion of the auction that the Baron family did not need to spend a single penny to spread the news of the auction, ensuring that everyone knew about it. Time and effort-saving, as well as peace of mind. Thinking of this, Qiuer Te suddenly felt a lump in his throat, nearly spitting blood. However, because of his previous words promoting the auction, now was not the time to change his expression. Instead, he had to put on a brave face and talk to others, praising Baron Amelia, albeit insincerely. On the second floor of the auction hall, wearing the magical cloth that Amelia had deliberately found, Ivy finally broke free from the round and roly-poly Ifia's hand, gripped the railing, and quickly found Qiuer Te in the crowd. After seeing Qiuer Te's face, looking as if he had been struck by misfortune, Ifia couldn't help but burst into laughter. Obviously, she had guessed that Qiuer Te already knew he had been tricked. Hahaha. Serves him right! It made Qiuer Te, this guy, have a bad attitude. The consequence of underestimating Amelia was a slap in the face. Hehe, Qiuer Te's face must be stinging right now. As people couldn't see where she was located due to the concealment, Ifia didn't care too much about her image and laughed heartily, which ended up with her toppling over the railing and falling down. Although she wouldn't die from the fall, it was still very embarrassing!!! To fall in front of everyone, she didn't even dare to imagine it. With these thoughts in mind, Ifia turned pale with fear. Before her screams were heard, she was yanked back up by someone. Even without turning around, Ifia knew who it was. Feeling frightened and wanting to cry, she quickly turned around and reached up to Amelia's waist, burying herself in her warm embrace, not daring to stir further. Seeing that Ifia was indeed frightened, Amelia sighed. This impulsive and rash little one, Ifia! To soothe the frightened Ifia, Amelia didn't reproach her but instead reached out to gently stroke her thick, dark hair and took the initiative to change the subject. "The first magic plant is about to be auctioned. Ifia, how much do you think it will go for?"
