"Oh... Master Li, there should be a sense of first come, first served, right?" The man in the black robe started to get anxious.
"Good jade material is rare and always goes to the highest bidder, there's no such thing as first come, first served." The elderly man in the dark robe smiled as he stroked his neatly trimmed beard, his determined appearance made people gnash their teeth.
"You... twelve hundred taels," the black-robed man flicked his sleeve, adding two hundred taels, not out of anger but out of a genuine desire to compete, feeling that this piece of jade could bring surprises.
"Thirteen hundred taels," the elderly man in the dark robe immediately followed with his bid.
"Fourteen hundred taels," another person joined in; such fine emerald was truly rare, and others could no longer resist.
"Fifteen hundred taels."
"Sixteen hundred taels."
