Shen Yunxi's lips curled slightly, and she lowered her voice, with a hint of barely perceptible mockery, and slowly said, "I'm really sorry, but my eldest brother really likes this Soul-Hooking Rope."

She paused deliberately, took a sip of her tea to conceal the smile in her eyes, and continued, "I advise you not to compete with us. With the strength of the Northern Abyss Kingdom, you can't compete with us, so you should give up as soon as possible!"

Shen Yunxi secretly imagined Xiao Chuhuan's expression at that moment, which must be quite interesting.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunxi's smile deepened.

She wouldn't be as foolish as the Crown Prince, using her own voice to bid and only attract attention.

For things like auctions, of course you have to hide your identity and have someone else do it.

Provoked in this way, and with the dignity of the Northern Abyss royal family trampled to the ground, Xiao Chuhuang began to lose her temper and gritted her teeth, saying, "Crown Prince, match the price!"

Xiao Chuhuang slammed down her teacup, making a crisp sound that interrupted the laughter and conversation coming from the opposite private room.

"Eighteen thousand!" Xiao Chuhuan immediately followed up with the bid, then said, word by word, "How dare you be so arrogant within the territory of my Northern Abyss Kingdom! You have quite the nerve! Do you know where you are? This is Northern Abyss territory, how dare you act so presumptuously!"

Xiao Chuhuan sneered, his tone becoming even more aggressive, "Since you insist on challenging my Northern Abyss royal family, then I will accompany you to the end! I want to see just how much strength you have that you dare to be so arrogant in front of me, the Crown Prince!"

Many people were stirred by Xiao Chuhuan's words, as it concerned the dignity of Beiyuan. Their honor was intertwined with his, so the onlookers below cheered for Xiao Chuhuan.

"Well done, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, let's teach them a lesson!"

Seeing this, Situ Jingtian cursed inwardly, "Idiot!"

He could tell that the two people in the opposite booth were doing it on purpose! He stared at them for a long time, his brows furrowing.

Who are these two people?

Situ Jingxuan crossed his arms, watching the show with a half-smile, and said, "I really don't know how Bei Yuan, who is so smart all his life, could raise such a stupid son. He's so impatient. Bei Yuan's future is worrying!"

Elder Songhe and Elder Xuanqing simply watched Shen Yunxi's location in silence. The auction house was equipped with arrays, making it impossible to probe the strength of the people there.

To protect the privacy of bidders, the Astral Auction House has set up a powerful defensive array. If anyone attempts to spy on them, the array will be triggered, causing the entire auction house to collapse.

This mechanism effectively protects the identity and financial strength of bidders; unless they voluntarily reveal themselves, no one else has any way of knowing their background.

Shen Yunxi calmly countered the price: "Nineteen thousand!"

Xiao Chuhuan: "Twenty thousand!"

Shen Yunxi: "Twenty-one thousand!"

Xiao Chuhuan's palms were sweating. In his opinion, spending 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones on a Xuan-grade soul weapon was not worth it at all, and a feeling of frustration welled up in his heart.

But the boast had already been made, and out of consideration for face and the dignity of the royal family, he could only grit his teeth and continue.

Xiao Chuhuan: "Twenty-two thousand!"

Shen Yunxi: "Twenty-three thousand!"

Situ Jingxuan realized that this person probably shared the same idea as him, wanting to make Xiao Chuhuan, that idiot, a sucker.

This piqued his interest in the two people opposite him.

“Brother,” Situ Jingxuan nudged Situ Jingtian beside him with his elbow, a hint of excitement on his face, “After the auction, I need to get to know the person in the opposite box.”
