Chapter 152 - Not Used To It
In the private room, Xiao Tianyi was about to raise the bidding price again. However, Yan Jinghong, the young master of the Yan Bei family, stopped him, “Cousin, you have forgotten the prior lessons of bidding for the two beautifying pills.”
Upon hearing Yan Jinghong’s warning, Xiao Tianyi’s face became dark and he was speechless for a moment.
Yan Jinghong then continued, “Cousin, think about it, that Yun Qianyu has no spirit energy, so how could she subdue the spirit beast? Isn’t it obvious that she’s only raising the bidding prince to spite you? If Cousin continues to bid against her, she will surely raise the price to a ridiculous level. If the bidding price ended up to be 1 million Liang silver, will Cousin still want it?”
Yan Jinghong looked at his cousin with pity and thought that he was really acting strangely these past few months.
Yan Qingfeng nodded and glared at Yun Qianxue, gritting her teeth to warn her ‘if you dare say a word, I will surely end your sorry life!’
Yun Qianxue’s face immediately became pale with fear. To be honest, the strength of the Yan Bei family was great; the Yun family, by comparison, was no match for the Yan Bei family.
In fact, among the four families, the Yun family was at the bottom of the list, the weakest among the families and was thus incomparable to the Yan Bei family.
Xiao Tianyi thought about it and did not say anything more.
Because he had been played by Yun Qianyu prior to this, Xiao Tianyi thought that if he really spent nearly one million Liang silver to buy a spirit beast, then that would severely impact his financial situation. Not to mention the fact that he had had to pay Yun Qianyu a substantial amount of money.
After thinking about it for some time, Xiao Tianyi finally decided to stop bidding. He looked at Yun Qianxue with guilt and said gently, “Xue’er, next time I’ll buy you a lovely spirit beast.”
Although Yun Qianxue was disappointed, she knew that it would not be appropriate to say anything more at this time. Otherwise, not only would Xiao Tianyi be disappointed with her, but even the Yan Bei family would go after her.
“Brother Tianyi, I understand.”
Xiao Tianyi looked at Yun Qianxue’s pitiful appearance and felt guilty for disappointing her. He couldn’t help but curse at Yun Qianyu.
Since Xiao Tianyi was not bidding anymore, the auctioneer on the ground floor shouted out, “Since no one else is willing to bid more, then the deal will be concluded. At seven hundred thousand Liang silver, the purple eyed phantom marten belongs to Miss Yun!”
With a slam from his hammer, the purple eyed phantom marten now belonged to Yun Qianyu.
Yun Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Jiuyuan, who has been sitting in his chair the whole time, stood up slowly like a lazy lion. Slowly, a cold aura surrounded him, and his face darkened as he walked up to Yun Qianyu.
Yun Qianyu looked at how Xiao Jiuyuan was coming up to her and subconsciously retreated. Without stopping, Xiao Jiuyuan came up to Yun Qianyu and forced her against the corner of the room. With a domineering look, Xiao Jiuyuan said, “I told you I didn’t agree to you buying that purple eyed phantom marten.”
“But the deal has already concluded.”
Yun Qianyu had her back to the wall and felt that they were in a rather inappropriate position. Carefully, she tried to escape Xiao Jiuyuan and move to another spot at a more suitable distance from him.
However, this made Xiao Jiuyuan think that Yun Qianyu was trying to run away from him. Without giving her a chance to move, Xiao Jiuyuan stretched out his long arm and blocked her way out, directly trapping Yun Qianyu.
