Chapter 199 How about letting Senior Brother be willful just this once?
Xun Cinema, seventh floor of Mihai Club.
At the entrance of the private room, Liu Lian stared at the high-grade spirit stones on the plate, his eyes filled with greed.
At the glance of the middle-aged man at the door, the servant behind him quickly presented the spirit stones.
"That's good, your master is very thoughtful."
Liu Lian took the plate and looked at the hundred high-grade spirit stones on it, feeling a surge of excitement.
After saying that, he turned around and went back into the private room, without even having a chance to ask who the "owner" the middle-aged man was.
Clang.
The door is closed.
The servant on one side looked rather displeased and complained.
"How can this person be like this? He didn't even ask a single question about his master's identity."
The middle-aged man glanced at him sideways.
"He is not worthy to know his master's identity."
After they finished speaking, the two walked back to their original private room.
Before they could return to their private room, the door to another private room suddenly opened.
A man carrying spirit stones slowly walked out, brushed past the two, and finally stopped at the door of VIP room number ten.
.................
After receiving spirit stones from the other people in the private rooms, Liu Lian immediately felt much more confident.
As the owner of the building, Han Li was naturally aware of the group's underhanded dealings and patiently waited.
Everyone else in the auction house was curiously waiting to see how this drama would unfold.
"It's just a few spirit stones, isn't it?"
Liu Lian's confident voice rang out from VIP room number ten.
"Here are three hundred high-grade spirit stones. Please, Pavilion Master Han, take a few."
As he spoke, a small mountain of hundreds of spirit stones floated out of the window of VIP room number ten and stopped next to Chu Luobai's spirit stones.
The slightly raised portion seemed to be deliberately provoking.
Han Li smiled calmly and said loudly.
"You are all distinguished guests of my Mihai Society. Reputation is our top priority, so why should I need to count you again?"
"The VIP in VIP room number ten has offered three hundred high-grade spirit stones. Is there any other guest who would like to make a bid?"
"Three hundred high-grade spirit stones to buy this thing, you cultivators of Qingzhou Realm are really... rich."
Inside the private room, Xun Nan finally calmed down, and the murderous intent in his emerald green eyes disappeared.
Seeing that Chu Luobai still intended to bid, he deliberately spoke up, saying something meaningful.
"If you want to say that the cultivators of Qingzhou Realm are stupid, then just say it. Why hold back?"
"However, you should know that there's nothing I can't get if I want it."
Chu Luobai's gaze swept over Xun Nan, seemingly with a hidden meaning.
"That's just my personality."
After saying that, Chu Luobai used her spiritual power to lift some spirit stones and add them to the original pile of spirit stones.
"Number 10 is right. It's just a few spirit stones, right? Then I'll bid five hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Xun Nan, who was standing to the side, felt uncomfortable after Chu Luobai's slightly aggressive gaze.
"Humph."
But he didn't know what to say, so he just snorted and ignored the other person, instead focusing his gaze on Han Li for a long time.
........
On the auction stage, Han Li heard Chu Luobai's bid and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
Given Chu Luobai's personality, if she hadn't truly taken a liking to the fire coral, she would have definitely left the scene once the price became unreasonable.
Now, she's actually raising the price, hoping Liu Lian will back down...
Han Li pondered, glancing sideways at the fire coral beside him.
Chu Luobai's obsession with the Fire Coral was just like his obsession with a cultivation technique when they parted ways on the fourth floor...
Could it be that she has discovered something extraordinary on this fire coral?
"The VIP in Box Number One has offered five hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
"Is there any other distinguished guest who wishes to make an offer?"
At this moment, the cultivators watching the show below had stopped discussing it.
They all have only one thing on their minds right now: who will be the first to drop out of this bidding war?
......
For a long time, silence fell over the entire auction hall.
Inside box number ten, Liu Lian's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he stared intently at Huo Shanhu on the stage.
Five hundred high-grade spirit stones—that was the limit he could afford.
Even the last bit of spirit stones that Guan Shanyue had left had been snatched away by him.
"No, I have to get it today..."
Liu Lian murmured in a low voice, his tone extremely suppressed.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned and glared fiercely at Guan Shanyue.
"Go and pawn this to the Misty Sea Society and ask them for some spirit stones."
"One hundred yuan is fine!"
Looking at the beautifully decorated little box in Liu Lian's hand, Guan Shanyue felt utterly hopeless.
"Senior brother, that's what I gave you back then..."
"I know! But the situation is dire right now, and I will definitely redeem it later!"
Liu Lian interrupted impatiently, shouting loudly.
Guan Shanyue felt a jolt in her heart, took the box from Liu Lian's hand, and whispered.
"I see."
Liu Lian seemed to realize that his attitude was problematic, and quickly softened his tone.
"Can you just let your senior brother be willful this once?"
"If it were me in the past, the Misty Sea Society definitely wouldn't give me collateral. But if it's you..."
Looking into Liu Lian's sincere eyes, Guan Shanyue felt nothing but irony.
She didn't answer, but just nodded, and then slowly walked towards the door. With each step, she felt her eyes tighten and she had an urge to burst into tears.
I didn't stop until I reached the corner, and tears streamed down my face.
The attendants of the Misty Sea Society, standing at a distance, stood there somewhat at a loss, unsure whether they should step forward to comfort them.
On the other side, on the auction stage, the auctioneer slowly walked to Han Li's side and whispered something in his ear.
Han Li remained expressionless, only replying in a low voice, after which the auctioneer stepped down from the stage again.
The crowd couldn't hear what the two were saying, and their curiosity was at its peak.
"Could it be that the people in VIP room number ten have finally started causing trouble?"
"Hmph, does the guy in VIP room number ten even dare to mess with Han Li?"
"If we're talking about causing trouble, I think the people in VIP room number one are more likely to do it. They've been provoked time and time again; I definitely wouldn't have been able to stand it."
As the cultivators were discussing, a servant from the Misty Sea Society entered VIP room number ten carrying spirit stones.
"These are the three hundred high-grade spirit stones that our distinguished guest wishes to pledge. Please count them."
The servant said respectfully.
"Three hundred yuan?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Lian's face; he hadn't expected that such a small box could be used as collateral for so much money.
Indeed, it's good to be born in a good place like Snow Eagle City.
“That’s right. With your status and the value of that magic weapon, it’s worth three hundred high-grade spirit stones.”
The servant answered respectfully, and the flattery made Liu Lian feel a little smug.
"Cough cough."
Liu Lian cleared his throat and then noticed that Guan Shanyue had not returned.
Why didn't my junior sister come back with you?
"Our esteemed guest said she would be back shortly."
The servant's bowed head and submissive demeanor pleased Liu Lian greatly.
Tell her to come back soon.
Liu Lian waved his hand, his gaze returning to the spirit stone in front of him.
With these three hundred high-grade spirit stones, plus what he already had, he was certain he could snatch the items from Chu Luobai this time.
Crushing her dignity underfoot!
