"Oh, leaving already?" Li Gang walked up to the two of them with a smile.
Upon seeing him, Yang Huilan's expression immediately turned cold and guarded. She said, "Sect Leader Li, why are you here again? Haven't you caused enough trouble?"
Li Gang chuckled, his face flushed with color. "Trouble? How can this be called trouble? We were just having fun!"
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Tian and said, "Kid, you've already lost to me. How can you still have the nerve to be with Ms. Yang? Don't you have any shame?"
"I am the model of a successful person. Look how excellent I am. Only someone like me is qualified to be by Ms. Yang's side."
"And you, what are you? Hurry up and get lost!"
Hearing Li Gang's words, Wu Tian showed no anger. Instead, he said with a smirk, "Excellent? Is your definition of excellence spending three hundred million on a broken sword?"
"If I were to choose the 'Biggest Fool of the Year,' you would undoubtedly be the number one candidate!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Wu Tian's words made Li Gang sense that something was amiss.
He immediately said vigilantly, "What do you mean by that?"
Wu Tian shrugged and said, "What's wrong? You can't even understand this?"
"From the very beginning, I never intended to buy that broken sword! I was just bidding for fun. Who knew Sect Leader Li was so straightforward and kept raising the price."
"What, you don't think before you bid? Or did you not have a brain at that time?"
Li Gang looked at Wu Tian's smile, and his heart suddenly pounded.
As if he understood, he said to Wu Tian, his voice trembling, "You, you, you... you tricked me!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Tricked you? No, no, no, I wouldn't call this tricking you. You could have stopped bidding, but you insisted on competing with me. What could I do?"
"If it were me, I would probably cry myself to death after spending three hundred million on such a piece of junk."
"It's only Sect Leader Li who is so wealthy and still so happy. Truly admirable."
Li Gang's mind had completely frozen.
The situation was now clearer than it could possibly be: he had fallen for Wu Tian's trap!
Wu Tian had precisely controlled his psychology, raising the price while provoking him with words, causing him to make such a grave mistake in the heat of the moment!
In the end, he was completely controlled by Wu Tian!
Upon realizing this, his body began to tremble.
That was three hundred million!
If the people in his sect found out about this, wouldn't he be impeached by the elders?
He immediately became furious, his eyes turning red, and he glared at Wu Tian, saying, "You, you, you bastard, you dared to set me up, you dared to set me up!"
Wu Tian shrugged and said, "Everything was just your own choice."
"When I bid one hundred and fifty million, if you hadn't followed, wouldn't I have been the one losing?"
"But what did you do? Not only did you not stop, but you raised the price to three hundred million. Anyone who didn't know would think you were laundering money."
Wu Tian's smile gradually became distorted in Li Gang's eyes.
Li Gang's expression also became twisted.
He, the dignified Sect Leader of the Mad Sword Sect, had been toyed with by a young man today.
How could he accept such a thing?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard, I'll kill you!"
After roaring, he charged at Wu Tian again, just as he had before.
Wu Tian easily neutralized his attack and pushed him back.
He said calmly, "Sect Leader Li, I advise you to calm down. You don't have your sword now, and if you charge forward rashly, you'll be at a disadvantage."
Li Gang knew that Wu Tian was not someone to be trifled with. Without his sword, he might indeed not be Wu Tian's match.
But he couldn't swallow this bitter pill, so he said aggressively, "Bastard, I'll remember this grudge!"
"You dared to make me suffer such a huge loss, I will never let you off!"
"You can run, but your temple can't. By then, let alone you, even Chengfeng Pawnshop won't be able to get away with it!"
After viciously throwing down this threat, Li Gang turned and left.
Watching his retreating back, Wu Tian smiled and said, "It seems he's truly angered to the point of being foolish. Look, he's even walking with a limp."
Yang Huilan had been in a state of shock.
It was only now that she snapped back to reality, looking at Wu Tian blankly and saying, "Wu Tian, so all along, this was your intention!"
"I thought you were just getting carried away and wanted to fight him to the end, but I never expected you were doing it to mess with him. And I was so worried at the time!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "No way, I'm not as stupid as he is."
"Isn't he very arrogant? If that's the case, then it shouldn't be a problem for me to teach him a lesson, right?"
Yang Huilan said, "But speaking of which, Wu Tian, the situation back then was really dangerous."
"If he hadn't bid, wouldn't we have been the ones losing?"
Wu Tian shook his head and chuckled, "No, you're overthinking it. He was bound to bid."
"From the moment he started bidding, he was destined to lose. Who told him to cling to us? This is his retribution."
Yang Huilan looked at Wu Tian's profile, her heart filled with admiration.
She felt that Wu Tian was truly amazing.
Was this the kind of mind a young man should have? For a man like this, even she couldn't predict what heights Wu Tian would reach in the future.
After leaving the auction house, Wu Tian and Yang Huilan went to a high-end restaurant.
The restaurant was well-decorated, with an elegant and clean environment. Gentle music drifted through the air, instantly relaxing one's mood.
The two found a table and sat down, and a waiter immediately brought the menu.
Yang Huilan asked Wu Tian to order, but Wu Tian didn't like ordering, so Yang Huilan did it instead.
Yang Huilan had intended to order wine, but Wu Tian, fearing that Yang Huilan might act erratically towards him again after drinking, as she had last time, suggested they have juice instead.
While waiting for the food to arrive, Yang Huilan asked Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, what do you think we should do next?"
Wu Tian didn't quite understand her meaning and asked, "Next? What next?"
"It's about Li Gang! If he really seeks revenge on us, it won't be easy to resolve!"
Wu Tian knew that Yang Huilan was still very worried.
After all, for such a behemoth, if he was determined to deal with her, even with her substantial assets, it wouldn't be easy to handle.
