　　”This guest, thirty thousand gold essence coins, are you sure？”
　　Not only all the guests, but even the big shopkeeper of Shiyi Zhai also suspected that he had misheard.
　　”Big shopkeeper, I’m sure.”
　　Xu　Taiping　nodded.
　　The reason why he increased the price to thirty thousand gold essence coins in one go, apart from saving trouble, was mainly to anger Qi Yu.
　　There are two benefits to angering Qi Yu.
　　First, let this bad luck be completely locked on Qi Yu.
　　Second, people will lose their minds when they are furious.
　　And Qi Yu, who has lost his mind, is naturally easier to deal with.
　　After getting Xu Taiping’s affirmative answer, the big shopkeeper took a deep look, confirmed that Xu Taiping’s sanity was normal, and then slightly nodded and said：
　　”Guest Xu, is willing to offer thirty thousand gold essence coins. I would like to ask all the guests, is there anyone else willing to increase the price？”
　　When saying this, the big shopkeeper glanced at all the guests, and finally his gaze fell on Qi Yu.
The other guests in the pawnshop Hall were also similar. When the big shopkeeper said this they directly turned their eyes to Qi Yu.
　　After all, ever since the first bid, this pawnshop event has already become a contest between Xu Taiping and Qi Yu.
　　After realizing the gazes of the crowd looking over, Qi Yu’s already ugly complexion suddenly became even more ferocious.
　　Even the crowd could feel the bursts of killing intent coming from him.
　　The reason why he was so angry was not only because of Xu Taiping’s price increase as if he was humiliating him, but more importantly, it was because he really couldn’t come up with thirty thousand gold essence coins.
　　Right now, he could barely scrape together twenty-seven thousand on his body.
　　This feeling of knowing that others are humiliating you but you can’t resist is something he, as the eldest young master of the Qi family, has never experienced before.
　　And just at this moment, a subordinate beside Qi Yu suddenly stood up and whispered a word in his ear.
　　After hearing what that subordinate said, Qi Yu’s originally gloomy complexion suddenly brightened, and then he saw him stand up abruptly and cupped his hands towards the shopkeeper of Shiyi Zhai and said：
　　Shopkeeper, not only is this son’s identity unknown, but just now he increased the price from twenty thousand gold essence coins to thirty thousand in one go. At a glance, it is obvious that he was sent by someone to disrupt the situation.
　　I don’t believe he can really come up with thirty thousand gold essence coins！
　　After hearing these words, many guests present also nodded slightly, feeling that what Qi Yu said was reasonable.
　　Young Master Qi, whether Brother Taiping can come up with thirty thousand gold essence coins is a matter for Shiyi Zhai to worry about, not you！
　　Chu Xiaoxiao, who had been completely convinced by Xu Taiping’s “courage”, retorted on the spot.
　　However, Qi Yu ignored Chu Xiaoxiao and continued to look at the shopkeeper and said, “Shopkeeper, you can think it over. If it is found that he can’t take out so many gold essence coins when the transaction is made later and then let us bid, my Qi family will not be at this price anymore！”
　　These words were obviously a threat to the shopkeeper.
　　And his words also hit the soft spot of the shopkeeper.
Because if Xu Taiping really couldn’t take out 30,000 gold essence coins later it would definitely be difficult for his Pagoda to sell at a good price again.
　　”This customer, you are doing business in my Shiyi Zhai for the first time, and it is such a large sum of money. For the sake of caution, can you first prove whether you can take out 30,000 gold essence coins？”
　　The shopkeeper looked at Xu Taiping with a full face of apology.
　　”Amitabha, shopkeeper, I remember that there doesn’t seem to be such a rule in Shiyi Zhai.”
　　Abbot Chongde frowned and looked at the shopkeeper.
　　”This…”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper’s face suddenly became a little ugly.
　　Abbot Chongde was also a figure in the capital city, and the shopkeeper didn’t dare to offend him easily.
　　”Well, shopkeeper, I can take out thirty thousand gold essence coins to prove myself. But after that, please let this Young Master Qi and his people leave the Shiyi Studio. With such a person here, I’m not in the mood to stay in your Shiyi Studio any longer.”
　　Xu Taiping patted the shoulder of the monk Chongde beside him, and then stood up, looking at the shopkeeper with a calm expression.
　　The reason for doing this is, on the one hand, to free up time to prepare for dealing with the interception and killing of the Qi family. If he is stared at by them all the time, maybe they will find flaws. On the other hand, he really still has to buy something in the Shiyi Studio before leaving.
　　The shopkeeper thought seriously for a while, and then nodded, looking at Qi Yu and said, “If Young Master Taiping can prove himself, please Young Master Qi take your people and leave the Shiyi Studio.”
　　”Okay！”
　　Qi Yu replied in a very loud voice.
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately took out a money bag from the gourd.
　　”Shua！”
　　Xu Taiping first threw the money bag in his hand to the shopkeeper on the stage, and then said loudly, “Shopkeeper, you can see for yourself.”
　　Seeing this scene, Qi Yu’s heart tightened, thinking secretly that could this Xu Taiping really take out thirty thousand gold essence coins？
　　But immediately he denied it in his heart and said：
　　”Impossible, he is just bluffing！”
　　”Thank you for Young Master Taiping’s trust.”
　　At this time, the chief shopkeeper who received the money bag respectfully bowed to Xu Taiping, and then carefully opened the money bag.
　　He was not Qi Yu who had lost his mind due to anger. When he saw Xu Taiping take out the money bag so calmly, he actually already believed that Xu Taiping was someone who could take out thirty thousand gold essence coins.
　　“Hua　la　la…”
As the chief shopkeeper turned the mouth of the money bag downward, one gold essence coin after another, like a flowing stream poured onto the ground.
　　And as the pile of gold essence coins on the ground got higher and higher, Qi Yu’s face began to look uglier and uglier.
　　Finally, when seeing that the pile of gold essence coins was almost as high as the table, Qi Yu’s face turned as pale as paper.
　　“Young Master Qi, please take your people and leave！”
Suddenly, the voice of the chief shopkeeper of Shiyi Zhai, like a thunderbolt, awakened the dumbfounded Qi Yu.
　　“Hmph！”
　　Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, and then with a distorted face, he glared at Xu Taiping and snorted coldly. Then he said to the subordinates beside him, “What are you still standing there for？ Let’s go！”
　　“Heaven Guardian, be careful of this person when we leave later.”
　　After feeling the killing intent coming from Qi Yu, Monk Chongde quickly transmitted a voice to Xu Taiping.
　　At this time, Xu Taiping was going on stage to take the Kunlong Pagoda from the chief shopkeeper.
　　After hearing Chongde’s voice transmission, he just smiled faintly and said：
　　“I will.”
　　Chongde’s reaction made Xu Taiping even more certain that provoking Qi Yu was the right thing to do.
　　……
　　Shi Yi Zhai, downstairs.
　　“You all keep a close watch downstairs. Once that Xu Taiping comes downstairs, immediately transmit a message to me.”
Qi Yu, with a blue face, glared fiercely at several of his subordinates behind him.
　　Several subordinates immediately agreed and skillfully hid around Shi Yi Zhai. It was obvious that they had not done such things less on weekdays.
　　After giving orders to several subordinates, Qi Yu took out another sound transmission jade slip and held it in his palm. While walking towards the teahouse opposite, he transmitted a message to the other end of the sound transmission jade slip with his mind：
　　“Third Uncle, something unexpected has happened.”
“The dragon Pagoda has been snatched by a brat who popped up out of nowhere.”
“You call Third Uncle Xi and Fifth Uncle, and bring our Qi family’s Black-Clothed Guards. Let’s set up a trap and intercept and kill that brat around here to get back the Coiled Dragon Pagoda.
The dragon Pagoda is something that the Old Ancestor specifically named.If it is really lost, Third Uncle you will be punished just like me.”
