It seems that Ximen Feng'er truly intends to stir up some trouble here. Su Xuan can sense that Ximen Feng'er must be doing this deliberately, intending to exhaust everyone's funds, while his ultimate goal is to ensure everyone is short on money.
Su Xuan naturally understands the rules within, he is very clear about Taobao Pavilion's regulations. Once inside, you can only use the funds in hand for bidding, making this a high-stakes gamble.
So, it's a game of strategy. Many are waiting for the treasures they desire, and even without their desired items, they still participate, leading to items being driven up to pretty good prices.
This seems to be a method of Taobao Pavilion, and more so a skillful means of business, raising prices to an ideal level. Honestly, they are playing a good hand here, blending all the bidders together, setting them against each other in mutual suspicion and rivalry—indeed, it's quite an impressive tactic.
