206: This Destiny Child has no scheming

Han Lei felt a surge of triumph in his heart.

At the same time, it confirmed his own suspicions.

This guy was indeed following his bids.

Anything he wanted, Chen Tianming would try to snatch.

If that was the case, then he shouldn't blame Han Lei for tricking him!

Not long after Chen Tianming made his bid, Han Lei bid again.

And Chen Tianming, as if determined to get his hands on the jade porcelain vase, immediately matched the bid.

With both parties driving up the price, it quickly reached 1.5 million.

A hint of coldness flashed in Han Lei's eyes.

"Mindlessly following the trend comes with a price."

Thinking this, Han Lei, without a second thought, directly bid 1.8 million.

Given Chen Tianming's previous style, he would definitely buy the item at an even higher price.

But beneath the smooth surface of this jade porcelain vase, there were many hidden flaws.

If you were to talk about its true value, 500,000 was already a high price.

"Hmph, let him experience what it feels like to be tricked."

But what surprised Han Lei was Chen Tianming's next action.

He directly put down the bidding device in his hand.

Then, he led the applause!

"What?"

Han Lei's face immediately darkened.

He never expected Chen Tianming would let him have this item!

This was not like his previous way of doing things.

What made Han Lei even more helpless was that no one else on the scene was bidding anymore.

Soon, a staff member approached Han Lei with the jade porcelain vase.

"Sir, this is your collection. Please sign here."

Knowing that the price had been maliciously inflated, Han Lei had no choice but to grit his teeth and sign.

Han Lei's expression was incredibly ugly.

"Damn it, this guy did it on purpose!"

Han Lei's eyes were practically spitting fire.

Meanwhile, Chen Tianming heard the system's notification sound.

"The child of destiny Han Lei is extremely angry, Devil's Value +786."

"The child of destiny Han Lei is self-doubting, Devil's Value +701."

Han Lei was already losing his composure after just losing this little bit of money.

Listening to the system's continuous notifications, the smile in Chen Tianming's eyes became even more apparent at this moment.

He had originally thought that, as a child of destiny, this person should have some shrewdness.

But he never expected that just a small trick would completely break the other party's defenses.

"Competing with someone like this really has no challenge at all."

As triumphant as Chen Tianming was, Han Lei was just as annoyed.

He had been targeted twice in a row by the same person.

And each time, the method was different.

Han Lei truly hated Chen Tianming at this moment.

Just as he was calculating in his mind, the third item was already on the stage.

And the atmosphere in the venue was stirred up.

To prevent Chen Tianming from disrupting things this time,

Han Lei carefully inspected the item the moment it appeared on stage.

It had to be said, his golden finger was indeed useful.

In less than a minute, Han Lei could tell that the item before him was a rare treasure.

Since that was the case, he had to make the first move and absolutely not let Chen Tianming get ahead.

As soon as the reserve price was announced, Han Lei immediately bid 3 million.

When this number was announced, not to mention the others in the audience, even the staff on site were startled.

This price was much higher than the reserve price.

It was practically double.

And Han Lei's face was full of triumph at this moment.

He even glanced at Chen Tianming's direction with a slight hint of provocation.

He seemed to be waiting for Chen Tianming's bid.

But what he didn't expect was Chen Tianming's attitude.

Chen Tianming remained completely still.

Instead, he leaned back in his chair, arms crossed.

Han Lei frowned deeply.

What was going on?

Before, whenever he set his eyes on something, Chen Tianming would immediately match the bid.

But now, Chen Tianming hadn't made a single move.

Could it be another one of his schemes?

Han Lei dared not relax.

He could only focus his gaze on the antique on the stage.

His heart was pounding uncontrollably.

Perhaps Han Lei himself hadn't noticed that his emotions were now completely manipulated by Chen Tianming.

Any slight movement from Chen Tianming would make him nervous.

This feeling was truly unpleasant.

Han Lei's hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

However, this auction went smoothly.

After all, Han Lei's price was simply too high.

Besides himself, no one else at the scene added to the bid.

Soon, the staff on site delivered the item to him.

Han Lei looked at the treasure in his hand, feeling incredibly excited.

After all his efforts, he had finally acquired something to his liking.

"This money must be spent wisely; only by acquiring such treasures can one truly prove their capability."

Han Lei couldn't help but speak.

His gaze also fell on Chen Tianming.

This was clearly a provocation.

Not to mention Chen Tianming.

Even Wan Yue next to him chuckled.

At this moment, she whispered a complaint in a voice only they could hear.

"This person can't really think it's his own ability, can he?"

In terms of strength, Chen Tianming could absolutely crush him.

The only reason he got this treasure this time was if Chen Tianming wasn't interested in it.

A thing without spiritual energy was just an ornament to Chen Tianming.

He wouldn't even take it for free.

Yet, in Han Lei's hands, it became a treasure.

"A fine horse deserves a hero; the value of an item reflects the status of its owner."

Chen Tianming didn't finish the rest of his sentence.

The meaning was already very clear.

This item was only 3 million.

For Chen Tianming, it was just a small sum of money.

Han Lei was actually proud of it.

Clearly, their statuses were not on the same level.

Han Lei's face immediately turned much colder.

He completely missed the point that Chen Tianming's focus wasn't on the treasure in his hand,

but on the spiritual energy within it.

"This Jianghu seems to be doing this on purpose, like he's opposing me."

Han Lei's face was ashen.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

And just then, at the entrance, a person slowly entered.

It was an extremely exquisite-looking woman.

She was wearing a long black dress.

Her shoulder-length hair was neatly tucked behind her ears.

Yet, she possessed a unique aura.

The moment she entered, she successfully attracted many people's attention.

Even Chen Tianming was no exception.

But he wasn't looking at her for her beauty.

It was because of a layer of golden light emanating from the woman.

Chen Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly.

He had really hit the jackpot today.

Not only did he meet a child of destiny here, but he also met the corresponding Female Lead.

This was the best news for him.

And the next second, the system panel appeared before Chen Tianming.

"Name: Mia"

"Gender: Female"

"Age: 23 years old"

"Identity: Young Miss, major jade merchant in Modu"

"Strength: Mortal"

"Appearance: 97"

The lighting in the venue wasn't too bright, so he didn't clearly see Mia's face.

But listening to the system's prompts, the smile in his eyes became much more obvious.

He didn't expect this person's appearance to be so high.
