A familiar voice caused the blonde man in the cage to stiffen. He instinctively looked up sharply, wishing he could die on the spot!
He never expected to encounter Jin Bao'er here! This meant… that guy was here too?!
With that thought, his vision went black, and his face turned ashen! If that guy saw him in this state, he'd be mocked for tens of thousands of years to come!
Below, the bid of ten thousand had already deterred many. Only from a private room on the second floor opposite Jin Bao'er, a gentle and delicate female voice was heard…
"Twelve thousand mid-grade!"
She had immediately raised the bid by two thousand mid-grade spirit stones, a lavish offer! As everyone speculated about which young lady this was…
The blonde man in the cage suddenly snapped back to reality and glared fiercely at Jin Bao'er! His expression clearly conveyed: Hurry up and bid more! If I'm bought by someone else, the Elf race won't let you off!
Seeing this, Jin Bao'er waved her hand, acting as if she was short on funds. This immediately made the proud and noble man's face darken!
"Twelve thousand mid-grade spirit stones, going once!"
The host announced with disappointment, having expected a higher price!
The Elf King also panicked. Being embarrassed was one thing, but since Jin Bao'er had already seen him, if he were sold to someone else, he'd lose all dignity!
With that thought, he turned to the host, who was about to call out the third bid…
"Twelve thousand mid-grade spirit stones, third… time! Sold!"
Before the last three words could even be uttered, a foot shot out from the cage and forcefully kicked the host in the rear! The host was sent sprawling face-first onto the ground!
The sudden movement stunned the cultivators below!
Following that, the blonde man, who had remained silent the entire time, looked up towards the second floor, his gaze burning with intensity and shy tension!
"Jin Bao'er! Buy me, quickly!"
The woman who had been directly addressed: …Felt inexplicably annoyed!
The surrounding crowd: Didn't expect this elf to know the woman upstairs! Looking at their expressions… could there be something illicit between them?
The Patriarch of the Fan Yin family, hidden backstage: What the hell?
The woman vying with Jin Bao'er for the elf: The man she finally took a liking to is already taken?
Gong Jue Mi Yin crushed the cup in his hand: He was wrong! He shouldn't have come to this auction today!
The most enraged was the black-clothed man in the immortal manor. He hadn't been particularly annoyed when the elf king spoke that sentence, but upon seeing his demeanor, his face turned completely black!
What was this slutty bastard implying?! Was he tired of living?
At this moment, Jin Bao'er quickly grasped the man's meaning. A hint of speechlessness flashed across her usually indifferent face! The last time they met, this guy was so proud and haughty. He'd caved in quite quickly this time!
"Fifteen thousand mid-grade!"
Her voice, calm and casual, rang out. The crowd showed expressions of "as expected," and Gong Jue Mi Yin's gentle demeanor gradually faded as he looked at the blonde man… his brows furrowed!
He had to admit, this elf's beauty was unparalleled! Even in his current state of destitution, his disheveled clothing only added a peculiar charm and fragility to him.
In the room on the second floor, the woman's expression changed drastically upon hearing Jin Bao'er's bid!
"Are you not being too unreasonable, sir? The host already said the third call! This elf is mine now!"
Jin Bao'er looked up at the screen in front of her…
"Is that so…"
After speaking, she glanced at the Elf King and then shrugged helplessly! As if to say… see? I can't do anything about it! You spoke too late! He's already hers!
The Elf King's face darkened! Seeing that he was about to be sold to that ugly creature, and with Jin Bao'er appearing unreliable, he directly raised his head and looked towards the other side, his voice filled with rage and sarcasm!
"Where did this ugly creature come from? Can't you see my relationship with her? Must you interfere! Take a look in the mirror before you speak and see if you're worthy of me! And who said the third call was finished? Are you treating everyone here as deaf? If your ears aren't working, go get them treated!"
He truly was quiet for a long time, but his eruption was astonishing!
The crowd was instantly dumbfounded! When he hadn't spoken earlier, they thought the elf was either mute or had been scared silly. They never expected his first words to be so shocking…
And… wasn't this supposed to be two women fighting over one man? The man who was being fought over had lost his temper before the white-robed woman had even spoken!
The woman who had been insulted's face contorted. As proud and noble as she was, how could she tolerate such an insult from a mere auction item! She raised her hand to slap him!
"Presumptuous!"
A powerful aura instantly surged towards the man in the cage. An invisible palm aimed directly at the blonde man's face!
In a flash, the Elf King acutely sensed the danger and rapidly retreated. However, due to the cage's confinement, he had nowhere to go! His face turned ashen as he watched the invisible palm hurtling towards him!
"Slap!"
A sharp and crisp sound instantly echoed throughout the entire auction hall!
A cultivator at the Void Shattering late stage!
The crowd watched as the invisible energy heavily impacted a layer of cold ice that suddenly appeared. Only then did they come to their senses. They never expected someone to make a move so brazenly, nor did they expect another person to react so quickly!
Everything happened in an instant, but there were still cultivators with profound cultivation among the attendees, especially the guards of the Fan Yin family! They swiftly protected the backstage barrier, blocking the spiritual energy fluctuations from the invisible palm with absolute dominance!
The host's face turned deathly pale from the shock. He felt a sharp pain in his chest! He never expected someone to disregard the auction house rules and attack on the spot. This was absolutely forbidden! Moreover, this elf was already under contract and considered property of the Fan Yin family.
With that thought, he looked towards the backstage behind him…
"What is the meaning of this, sir? Are you perhaps trying to bully the Fan Yin family and say we have no capable individuals?!"
A deep voice emanated from backstage, followed by the appearance of a solemn middle-aged man dressed in dark blue robes, accompanied by two Heavenly Dao Saints… their expressions were slightly grim!
"Patriarch?"
"Patriarch Fan Yin?!"
The crowd was startled! They never expected the owner of the auction house to be backstage! After all, as one of the seven great families, who would have the leisure time to be here.
The woman in the room on the second floor shot up from her seat upon hearing the voice, a flicker of surprise crossing her face. She then walked out!
When the crowd heard the voice, they looked up. A beautiful woman in a pale green dress appeared before them. While she possessed a seemingly fresh and gentle demeanor, her brows carried a hint of arrogance. By her side stood a Heavenly Dao expert, acting in a subservient manner!
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, her expression stiffened slightly as she forced a smile.
"Uncle… long time no see!"
The Fan Yin Patriarch's expression also softened upon seeing her, and he exclaimed in surprise.
"You are the second daughter of the Lin Lang family?"
The Lin Lang family, one of the seven great families!
The crowd was astonished upon hearing this! The second young lady of the Lin Lang family? Lin Lang Qing Xin? The early-stage Void Shattering cultivator known for her arrogance and belligerence?
