Chapter 350 -349: However Annoying, It Will Be Done That Way
Luo Ning went to the auction hall and sat down beside the empty seat Lu Xun had intentionally left for her.

Lu Xun asked with a smile, “All settled?”
He could tell that Luo Ning was in a good mood, probably because she had fiercely criticized someone from the Luo Family.
When she got scathing, she truly had no match.
Luo Ning lightly laughed and nodded, “Yeah, I gave them a scolding.”
Lu Xun asked, “Do they want to recognize you again?”
“Yeah,” Luo Ning complained, “and they said my brother and I could go back, but not my mom. They really have some nerve.”
She had also noticed earlier that Luo Kaiyuan was very supportive of her father marrying that fake widow, which disgusted her further.
Lu Xun agreed, “They really do have some nerve, with no self-awareness.”
“We’ll sort them out at the auction soon.” His people, after all, didn’t like being messed with.
The Luo Family was acting high and mighty, trying to recognize Luo Ning just because they assumed she had no backing, but she had him.
Seeing that Lu Xun was serious, Luo Ning knew he was sticking up for her.
She didn’t coyly refuse, “Sure, let’s have some fun with the Luo Family people later.”
The two exchanged a knowing glance and shared a grin.
Next, Zu Xiao and his companions continuously introduced wealthy and influential people from Xiang Island to Luo Ning.
These people were also very accommodating toward Luo Ning, showing an interest in befriending her.
Among them were some renowned Feng Shui Masters who took the initiative to befriend Luo Ning, trying to figure her out.
After all, the Xiang Island circle was so small; if a powerful Feng Shui Master were to come and compete for their livelihood, they had to prepare.
Hearing that Luo Ning would return to Capital City in a few days to film, these people were relieved.
Knowing Luo Ning was on Xiang Island only to see Feng Shui and for fun, not planning to stay or serve any family, their attitudes warmed further.
With friendly Feng Shui Masters around, naturally, there were also those who were hostile or disdainful.
Some proud Feng Shui Masters, especially those from Fengshui Families, were quite cold toward Luo Ning.
Some even went as far as making sarcastic remarks.
However, Luo Ning was no pushover; even on their turf, she immediately retorted to anyone who needed it and managed to embarrass those who scorned her.
As a result, by the time she had made the rounds, she had left an impression of being tough to mess with.
This was intentional on her part.
Soon, the auction was about to begin, and everyone returned to their seats.
Luo Kaiyuan also appeared at the auction with members of the Luo Family.
It was unclear whether it was a coincidence or someone had arranged it, but Luo Kaiyuan and his people were seated right in front of Luo Ning’s group.
Apart from Luo Ying and Luo Ning who smiled and greeted each other, Luo Kaiyuan and the others sat down with stern faces.
Earlier, when Luo Ning was taken to Luo Kaiyuan’s rest room, many people became aware of it.
It seemed the two sides hadn’t come to an agreement.
A few more minutes passed, and the auction officially started.
The initial items up for bid were various antique paintings and calligraphy.
Luo Ning wasn’t very interested and just sat watching.
Zu Xiao and his companions, however, each bid on some items.
They even came over to ask for Luo Ning’s opinion periodically.
Though Luo Ning wasn’t interested in collecting antiques, she could appraise them; after all, with all her travels through so many Little Worlds, her Eye Power was quite developed.
Therefore, she gave advice to the trio and could even detail the age, characteristics, and authenticity of the auctioned antiques.
This made Zu Xiao and the others even more astonished, and they felt Luo Ning was truly formidable.
Gradually, the main focus of the auction shifted to the auction of Feng Shui Mysticism items.
There were antiques containing Vital Energy, antiques containing evil spirits, and even auctions of low to mid-level amulets.
Luo Ning, who wanted to set up an array on Kyoto Mountain, was particularly in need of magic artifacts containing Vital Energy, so she bid on any good ones she saw.
Her funds were limited, but the auction allowed for the last-minute sale of items.
Thus, she put up a Protective Jade Pendant for auction, and those in the know naturally realized it was a Protective Magical Artifact.
Many Feng Shui Masters present couldn’t resist and followed suit in bidding.
Knowing that Luo Ning had put it up, even the Feng Shui Masters who had been rebuffed by Luo Ning earlier couldn’t help but join the bidding.
No matter how much they disliked Luo Ning, it did not stop them from participating in the auction.
Seeing this, the wealthy bidders also realized the jade pendant was valuable, and they too joined in the bidding.
Zu Xiao and his companions did the same, quickly joining the fray.
Min Guangping asked, “Master Luo, does this Protective Jade Pendant have the same effect as the previous amulets?”
Luo Ning replied truthfully with a smile, “This one has a better effect than the amulets, and it’s not a one-time consumable like amulets.”
“This Protective Jade can block three disasters in serious cases, and seven to even ten times in minor cases.”
She had carved the protective array into these jade pendants with her Spiritual Power while sculpting them, marking them as high-level magical tools, naturally incomparable to mere drawn talismans.
Otherwise, the discerning Feng Shui Masters present were not fools; the price had already reached sixty million.
Upon hearing Luo Ning’s words, Min Guangping and the others got excited.
Their bidding became more fervent, though Min Guangping, not being a businessman, regretfully ceased when the bidding reached eighty million.
Zu Xiao and Gu Feng, however, were not short of money.
They both knew that Min Guangping had survived a car accident unscathed the night before, all thanks to the talisman drawn by Luo Ning.
This Protective Jade was even more powerful than the talisman, of course they wanted to secure it.
The richer they were, the more they cherished their lives.
Luo Kaiyuan had not expected Luo Ning to be able to bring out such a high-level Protective Magical Artifact; such items were highly treasured within the Luo Family.
He suspected it might have been left to Luo Ning by Luo Yicheng and internally cursed Luo Ning for being a spendthrift, trading such a precious item for money at an auction, which was foolish.
Such high-level magical tools were essentially priceless in the Feng Shui circles.
Under normal circumstances, Luo Kaiyuan would have been compelled to bid as well.
But he was not like the other Feng Shui Masters who had been scolded by Luo Ning, he really could not lower his pride to do so.
Finally, the jade pendant was auctioned off to Zu Xiao for one hundred and ten million.
With this price, those present didn’t think of him as a fool.
Many cast envious glances his way, especially some Feng Shui Masters with limited access to funds, who were quite heartbroken.
These famous Feng Shui Masters made money easily, but they also spent heavily and had invested in a lot of real estate, hence their liquid assets were limited.
Otherwise, they too would have eagerly participated in the bidding.
Similarly, like Luo Kaiyuan, these Feng Shui Masters internally cursed Luo Ning for being foolish.
To not keep such a high-level Protective Magical Artifact for personal use, but instead auction it off, was just too foolish, wasteful!
With the jade pendant auctioned for such a high price, and adding to what Luo Ning already had in her account, she truly let herself go.
In the following auction, anything the Luo Family looked at, both Luo Ning and Lu Xun would bid on and secure at high prices.
Luo Ning acted as if she embraced the saying, “While alive, joy is worth more than gold,” almost literally scattering money like water.
Apparently, whatever annoyed the Luo Family, she pursued that approach.
Indeed, it worked, as it successfully enraged Luo Kaiyuan, making his expression increasingly unsightly.
