The subordinate in black worriedly pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Young Master, we’ve never seen the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb before, so how can we be so sure that this one on the stage isn’t it? Elder Fei already says that it’s very similar. If this one on the stage is the real one, we’ll regret it so much if we give up now!”

When Lu Zheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea as if nothing had happened. He said indifferently, “You don’t understand this, do you? Look at room one. There hasn’t been any movement since the bid started.”

Everyone in the private room looked through the translucent window at room one on the opposite side of the corridor. Just as Lu Zheng had said, the room was indeed quiet.

黑衣下属不太明白少爷话里的深意,紧蹙着眉继续问,”少爷这话什么意思,属下不明白,霍家的人不识货认不出万年松雪芝,咱们也要跟着他们一块儿犯傻吗?”

Lu Zheng shook his head, picked up his teacup, and calmly took a sip of tea. “According to my understanding of Huo Xuan over the years, if he was also here for the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, he would have definitely made preparations in advance. If the one on the stage was really the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, he probably wouldn’t be able to sit still. How could it be like this? There’s no movement in the private room at all.”

The subordinate in black did not say anything else when he heard this. He stood behind Lu Zheng and pondered quietly.

At this moment, the white-bearded old man sitting in the main seat stroked his beard and looked up at Lu Zheng. “Young Master, I understand the meaning in your words. You’re saying that Young Master Huo has never fought a battle he is not confident in. The one on the stage is definitely not the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb.”

Lu Zheng finished the tea in his cup in one gulp. He looked at the people in the other private rooms on the second floor of the living room who were still raising the prices and smiled slightly. “Huo Xuan has a subordinate named Mo Jiu, who is famous for his medical skills. When I went to visit him in private room number one just now, I specially observed that he didn’t bring that doctor named Mo Jiu with him to the Gao family’s auction this time.”

After a pause, Lu Zheng continued, “This is enough to prove that Huo Xuan has an even more powerful doctor accompanying him to the auction. If I’m not wrong, the person who knows medicine and recognizes the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb should be his unknown little fiancée.”

Just as he finished speaking, the old man’s expression instantly turned grave. He frowned and said, “That girl looks young, she doesn’t look like she can recognize the appearance of the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. Could it be that Huo Xuan had seen the Pine Snow Herb before, or someone else he brought along has the ability to do so?”

Lu Zheng lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. “It’s not impossible, but the probability is extremely small. If Huo Xuan really has the ability to recognize the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, there’s no reason why he specially went to Cloud City to recuperate for such a long time when he was seriously ill.”

Upon hearing this, the subordinate in black seemed to have understood the pros and cons. He looked straight at Lu Zheng and took the initiative to remind him, “Young Master, in this situation now, are we still going to bid for the spirit medicine on the stage? What should we do next?”

Lu Zheng stood up and stood by the window. His gaze was fixed on private room one, which was directly opposite their room across the corridor. His slender fingers knocked on the window sill rhythmically again and again, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. “Let’s not auction it first. Send someone to keep a close eye on private room one. We’ll start bidding when Huo Xuan makes a move.”

A cold glint shot out of Lu Zheng’s eyes. He rubbed his palms and said in a low voice, “Let’s first waste the finances and patience of the other families. When Huo Xuan makes a move, we’ll raise the price and compete with him. At that time, it will be a competition between two of our families…”

“Yes!”

After Lu Zheng finished giving his instructions, the subordinate in black nodded and immediately pushed open the door of the private room to complete the arrangements..
