The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

Chu Ying's voice was somewhat provocative, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet for a moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on her again.

The mysterious woman turned around suddenly, obviously not expecting that even after she raised the price to three thousand, someone was still raising the price.

She was so angry that she was shaking slightly. She frowned and looked at Chu Ying carefully. After a brief silence, she gritted her teeth, smiled coldly, and then raised the sign and shouted, "Three thousand five hundred!"

Chu Ying raised her sign again without thinking: "Three thousand six hundred!"

The surroundings instantly became quiet, and everyone turned their attention to the two women who were refusing to give in to each other.

The mysterious woman's expression darkened, her fingertips tightly gripping the sign. She glanced coldly at Chu Ying, gritted her teeth again, and raised the number plate. Her voice was filled with undeniable determination: "Four thousand! I'll give you four thousand spirit stones!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a burst of discussion in the audience.

"Wow...this guy is so rich."

"Although this elixir is indeed rare, the price is a bit too high. Moreover, the auction house is unwilling to reveal the identity of the alchemist. What if it is a second-rate alchemist and the product is of impure quality?"

"Well, that's the He family. They're a wealthy family. What right do we have to interfere?"

"Four--" Chu Ying was about to speak, but was suddenly covered by several warm hands, and her voice stopped abruptly.

Jiang Yingxue, Cen Yizi and Wan Jinan all stretched out their hands at the same time, fearing that Chu Ying would say something wrong.

Cen Yizi lowered his voice and shook his head: "Don't mess around, the Hundred Refining Pills are for people who want to build their foundation in the Qi Refining Stage. They are useless to you."

Wan Jinan also quickly said: "That's right, your master, you know how many spirit stones I have in my bag. Are you planning to give away my entire fortune?!"

Seeing this, Chu Ying quickly shrank her neck and nodded.

If you don't want to raise it, then don't raise it. Anyway, asking the He family to pay an extra thousand spirit stones is not a small amount.

"Four thousand spirit stones! Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?" Shi Yue urged on the stage.

"Four thousand at a time!"

"Four thousand twice!"

"Four thousand three times!"

"Deal!" The auction hammer fell heavily.

Hearing the word "deal," the mysterious woman was slightly startled. Then she slowly turned around and looked at Chu Ying fiercely, her face full of resentment. Although Chu Ying couldn't see her face clearly, she could sense the anger in her eyes and quickly looked away, feigning ignorance.

The auctioneer on the stage continued, "Next, we will auction the second treasure. The second treasure is an ornament, a white jade hairpin gilded with a swallowtail butterfly pattern."

As she finished her words, a masked maid slowly walked onto the stage, cradling an exquisite hairpin between her hands and respectfully placing it on the display stand. The hall's lights converged slightly, illuminating the hairpin, clearly showcasing its meticulous craftsmanship.

The hairpin's body was carved from smooth white jade, its texture translucent and faintly luminous. A gilded swallowtail butterfly, lifelike and vivid, perched on one side. Its wings, as slender as paper, were meticulously traced with gold thread. Its wings, slightly spread, were inlaid with tiny rubies at the end, as if about to take flight.

The hairpin sparkled in the light on the stage, immediately attracting the attention of many women.

"Starting price: three hundred spirit stones." Shi Yue's clear voice echoed in the auction hall. The mysterious woman raised her paddle again: "Five hundred spirit stones!"

Chu Ying gasped when she saw this: "The He family is so generous! They've only just won the second piece, and they're already scrambling to get it."

After saying that, Chu Ying glanced at Jiang Yingxue. Jiang Yingxue stared at the hairpin with sparkling eyes, and then she also raised the sign: "One thousand spirit stones."

"Yingxue!" He hurriedly reached out and tugged at Jiang Yingxue's sleeve, his eyes filled with surprise and anxiety: "That thing is just an ornament, it's not a magic weapon, it's not worth the price."

"I know." Jiang Yingxue said seriously.

Wan Jinan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but raise his voice: "Then why do you offer such a high price?"

"Because it's beautiful. Money can't buy what's good in your heart. Master, don't you think it's beautiful?"

Wan Jinan sighed helplessly, "You're impulsive. What if you come across something better later? This is only the second one. You came here today to buy a weapon. If I give away a thousand spirit stones so easily, what if I can't afford the weapon you like later?"

"It doesn't matter. You can't afford it, but I can." After all, when grandpa came back from Liangzhou, he found a storage ring for her, which was full of money.

"Master, don't worry. I'm using my own money. I have money, don't worry." Jiang Yingxue patted Wan Jinan's shoulder and then bid: "One thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

The mysterious woman sitting in the front row trembled slightly when she heard Jiang Yingxue raise the price again, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. She turned around and found that it was the same group of people who were raising the price again!

"Two--" She was about to raise the sign in her hand, intending to fiercely fight back against the other party's provocation, but the guard beside her quickly held down her wrist.

"Miss, absolutely not!" The guard's tone was urgent and low, with a bit of urgent warning, "We are here tonight for the spirit girl, don't be impulsive! Although the hairpin is beautiful, it is just a hairpin after all. It is not worth your high price for it."

The mysterious woman narrowed her eyes slightly, snorted softly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her face. She hesitated for a moment, and although she felt unwilling, she did not continue to bid.

"Forget it," she sighed softly, her tone tinged with anger. "Let's go find out who those people are and why they're always against me!"

"Miss, they are disciples of Xianyun Sect." The guard hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice.

"Xianyun Sect? Isn't that the sect my good-for-nothing cousin belongs to? They're deliberately raising the price. Are they trying to vent their anger on me?"

The guard quickly said, "Young lady, please be careful what you say outside. I heard that Young Master Qingfeng has already established his foundation since entering the Xianyun Sect. Moreover, Young Master Qingfeng is from the Fifth Peak, and the two who just bargained with you are disciples from the First Peak. I guess there is no significant connection between them."

"It's better if there's really no contact!" The woman snorted coldly, "If I find out they're trying to raise the price with me again, I won't let them off!"

"One thousand five hundred spirit stones! Anyone else wants to raise the price?" Shi Yue raised her voice.

"One thousand five hundred at a time!"

"One thousand five hundred twice!"

"One thousand five hundred three times!"

"make a deal!"

The mysterious woman couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. She covered her mouth and sneered softly, "He wanted to raise my price to piss me off, but he didn't expect to win the bid himself. 1,500 spirit stones for a piece of jewelry, this guy is really stupid."

After saying that, the woman turned around, wanting to see Jiang Yingxue's embarrassed look, and found that she was smiling very brightly at the moment, as if she really wanted to take the hairpin.
