The vendor's indifferent attitude and Fade's bizarre move of buying a single herb for two million had attracted heaps of attention.
Many eyes landed on them, with clamor of opinions lavishing on them.
However, Fade paid no heed toward their opinions. Instead, he took out his wallet, ready to pay by card.
The ginseng in the stall was definitely not an ordinary one, but a very rare Fire Blaze ginseng. Ginseng was a great tonic, but it normally grew in shady areas, so it was inevitable that it'd carry some Yin energy with it.
However, this ginseng was different from the average ginseng. It grew up in a place full of sunlight. Therefore, there was no cold energy in it. Naturally, the nourishing effect was ten times higher than that of the average ginseng.
This kind of Fire Blaze ginseng was exceptionally rare due to the limitation of its growing environment. And it was the best thing to treat Quin's Ice Lotus illness or as a tonic for Jeremy.
Therefore, when Fade heard that it cost only two million yuan, he was ready to pay for it without a second thought. After all, this kind of rare gem was hard to come by. Not to mention two million yuan, even if it was twenty million yuan, it was still worth it. If he hadn't come across it by luck today, he'd not be able to get one even if he had the money.
Thus, Fade ignored the teases and ridicule from the crowd and was set on purchasing it.
Just as Fade was about to pay the bill, a figure suddenly came forward and said, "Wait a minute, I'd like to take a look at this herb."
Hearing this, the vendor and Fade turned to look at the newcomer.
The man was about 28 years old. He was wearing an ancient long robe with a hair bun. He looked like an elegant young man from the ancient times. In addition, the man was attractive, his skin was fair, one could not help but to relate him to the famous Chinese term, "a young man as beautiful as jade".
All at once, all the young ladies around eyed him with interest. They looked at him longingly in a daze.
Even Cherry was looking unconsciously at the eyecatching, elegant young man.
Such a situation made Hugo, who was right next to Cherry, on tiptoe. He thought to himself, "I've just gotten rid of Fade Chen, here comes another gigolo. This is really annoying!"
Just as everyone was marveling at the handsome young man, the center of attention was looking at the Fire Blaze ginseng in great detail. A hint of astonishment flashed across his eyes. He reached out to pick up the ginseng as he asked, "How much is this herb? I want it."
The vendor was still as indifferent as before and said, "Two million yuan!"
After listening to this price, the elegant young man with a smooth face didn't hesitate at all. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take it."
As he spoke, he made a gesture with his hand. Behind him, there was a follower who seemed like a servant, immediately stepping forward to pay the bill.
This made Fade frown. He said coolly, "Wait a minute, I had my eyes on this herb before you and I was in the midst of paying the bill."
Having heard this, the elegant young man turned to look at Fade thorough once- over. Then, a strange light flashed across his eyes as he said firmly, "I'm buying this!"
As he said so, there was a deliberate emphasis in his tone along with an air of confidence as if the herb was destined to be his.
Fade hated such self-righteous people the most. He pulled a long face, he did not intend to argue with him anymore. He looked directly at the vendor and handed over his bank card. He said, "Here's the money. I'll take the herb."
Seeing that the stall owner was about to take the money from Fade, the elegant young man panicked and shot Fade a glare of displeasure. Then, he turned to the stall owner and said, "How much money did he pay? I'll pay more."
The vendor's cold expression changed slightly for the first time. He said, "He paid me two million yuan."
Hearing this, the elegant young man revealed a confident smile and said, "I'll pay two million two hundred thousand yuan, sell it to me."
Hearing this, the vendor rolled his eyes but remained silent. Instead, he turned to look at Fade. Clearly, he wanted Fade to bid.
