Chapter 1872: Chapter 849: Prediction
“Come in.”
Bi Ziyu called out directly.
Everyone thought it was those foreign fruits being brought in.
Unexpectedly, the servant who pushed the door open was another unfamiliar Bi Family servant, carrying the family surname, and what he brought was surprisingly…
“Muddy Heart Fruit?!”
Fang Yu blurted out instinctively.
The half-opened Jade Box was indeed the Muddy Heart Fruit that had just fallen into the hands of another buyer!
Why all of a sudden…
While Fang Yu was still pondering, Bi Ziyu laughed aloud.
“The friends below are truly considerate. It’s only because Diao likes this item. Otherwise, such a favor, I would not be indebted.”
The implication was that he would accept the item.
Saying that, he directly asked the servant.
“Which family does the buyer belong to?”
Only then did the servant dare to speak up: “Reporting to my lord, it’s someone from the Jiang Family.”
“I’ve got it, leave the item and go out.”
“Yes!”
The entire process was seamless, leaving Fang Yu somewhat bewildered.
What does this mean?
The mysterious buyer number 705 bought this item and then sent it to him on the second floor?
This, this, this…
Fang Yu suddenly understood the value of the second floor.
One doesn’t even have to pay any price, as someone willingly brings good gifts.
And this gift may not even come easily, because the guards at the door wouldn’t allow people from below to come up; only through the second floor’s arrangements can one offer gifts and gain such an opportunity.
Whether the second-floor VIPs accept the gift is another matter.
For the second-floor VIPs, aren’t they all people with status and prestige? The items that buyers below can afford are seldom attractive to them. If they truly find it appealing, their substantial financial resources are unmatched by buyers below.
So these incidents of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha don’t happen often.
Fang Yu realized that invisibly, his role as someone buying cheap goods lowered the standards of the second floor, giving that buyer number 705 an opportunity to offer gifts.
Understanding this logic, Fang Yu looked at Bi Ziyu.
Bi Ziyu was, in effect, accepting the indebtedness on his behalf, making Fang Yu accept his favor unwittingly.
This maneuver, spending little to achieve much, was really executed beautifully.
“Diao, take good care of this item.”
Bi Ziyu laughed while handing the Jade Box over. Before Fang Yu could accept it, Ding Hui stepped forward to take it on his behalf.
“I thank Lord Bi on behalf of my husband for the gift.”
Ding Hui understands etiquette; she simply finds disguising unnecessary, and when it truly matters, she never hesitates.
Bi Ziyu chuckled and said no more.
Although the other’s borrowed offering put him in a slightly awkward position, he had no choice but to accept. However, a person with such courage, boldness, and insight is considered a talent worth keeping an eye on; perhaps there’s a chance to use these Jiang Family people in the future.
As for the favor to Fang Yu, it was just a follow-through. If he truly establishes connections with Master Ouyang, the significance of this move would be profound. On the contrary, the loss would merely be a favor that can be reneged on at any moment.
At this moment, Ding Hui had already begun researching the Muddy Heart Fruit.
Earlier, she could only watch from afar, seeing only about fifty to sixty percent of it; now, with it in hand, she believed she would soon fully understand it.
Regarding this little episode, Bo Changquan seemed completely indifferent.
Obviously, his role as an intermediary, an introducer, was purely to be there, pressed as a safeguard between the two sides; as for how Fang Yu or Bi Ziyu operated, it had nothing to do with him.
Knock knock knock.
At this time, there was another knock on the door.
This time, the servant who collected the fruits pushed the door open.
Various fruits were laid out on a platter, possessing a unique flavor.
Below, the narrator had begun introducing the next auction item; this time, the auction was for a somewhat obscure demon material. Although people below continued to bid, the level of competition was not quite the same as for the previous two auction items.
Fang Yu immediately focused on the strange fruits on the platter, casually picking one up, and heard Bi Ziyu introducing,
“Diao, you have good taste. This fruit is called Valley Fruit, a specialty of the neighboring Yungu Country. It’s named a fruit, but is actually a worm. Appears to be a worm, but is a fruit!”
“It’s said that at its cultivation stage, this fruit is merely a small Gu Worm. Through special cultivation, the Gu Worm’s body transforms into fruit peel, its blood and flesh into fruit pulp and core. After meticulous cultivation, the transformation from worm to fruit, and then refining the fruit back into worm, creates the current Valley Fruit.”
“The taste of this fruit is exquisite, its juice sweet, akin to…”
Bi Ziyu continued with enthusiasm, not only detailing the description but also showing great involvement, clearly having a genuine preference for these treats.
Fang Yu had already bitten into it, unexpectedly causing juice to burst in his mouth, its sweetness surprising him.
With Fang Yu’s limited eloquence, he couldn’t think of any more specific description so…
“Delicious!”
“Hahahahahahaha!”
It was with this simple remark that Bi Ziyu, who had just been eloquently speaking, burst into laughter.
Moreover, these fruits were genuinely just fruits; apart from being delicious and rare, they had no other effects, unlike dietary supplements that greatly benefit the Martial Artist.
“If it’s tasty, have some more!”
At this moment, Ding Hui cast her gaze over, seemingly curious. Fang Yu immediately offered the half-eaten Valley Fruit, and Ding Hui, without hesitation, took a small bite and chewed.
