After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

"I..."

Guan Shanyue was so frightened that he took a step back, his right leg tripped on the soft chair behind him, and he fell backward, landing in the corner of the chair.

"Senior brother, that's not what I meant!"

"Then what do you mean?!"

Liu Lian stared at Guan Shanyue with extremely sinister eyes.

"I don't care about anything else, I'm going to do this today!"

Having said that, a surge of spiritual energy shot out from his fingertips.

Perhaps due to anger, Liu Lian did not deliberately raise the base price this time. Instead, he directly added 50 high-grade spirit stones to Chu Luobai's price.

"The guest in VIP room number ten has bid 150 high-grade spirit stones!"

On the stage, the trader shouted excitedly.

The higher the price of the goods sold at the auction, the higher her future commission will be.

With two such big customers, she'll probably wake up laughing in her dreams tonight.

"Has Liu Lian finally gone mad?"

Chu Luobai couldn't help but murmur.

Although Snow Eagle City controls a vital trading hub and is very wealthy, it is Snow Eagle City that is wealthy, and what does it have to do with Liu Lian, an orphan living under someone else's roof?

Moreover, Chu Luobai didn't think that Xu Haotian, a man who came from a family of live-in sons-in-law, would allow another live-in son-in-law to run wild on his territory.

With the addition of these 150 high-grade spirit stones, Liu Lian has now spent nearly 300 high-grade spirit stones.

This amount, even among the most prestigious families, would not be a small sum anywhere else...

Thinking of Guan Shanyue's last news in his previous life, Chu Luobai simply made another offer.

"The guest in VIP room number one has bid two hundred high-grade spirit stones!"

On the stage, the auctioneer's surprised voice rang out.

The cultivators below felt a sense of numbness.

One hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones to buy a fire coral that can only be used for alchemy?

This is beyond their comprehension.

Two hundred yuan was out of the question for them; it was simply out of their reach.

"Just who is the owner of that VIP room number one?"

"Shh, let me tell you, the person in the private room back then was Liu Lian, the son-in-law of Snow Eagle City."

"People from Snow Eagle City? What about the people in VIP room number one? Just who are they that dares to oppose him, and do such a thing..."

The cultivators below were astonished. Throughout the entire auction, they were more concerned about the identity of the owner of Box Number One than the items being auctioned.

And how exactly did these two become enemies?

"You don't know this, do you? Earlier, when I was on the fourth floor where the event was ending, I saw a female cultivator in red slap Liu Lian to the ground."

A cultivator said mysteriously.

"She'd actually fight in the Misty Sea? That female cultivator's got a death wish?"

The cultivators standing nearby stared wide-eyed. He, too, had been hot-blooded and had almost made a move within the Misty Sea Society.

As a result, the guards of the Mihai Society threw him out of the building as punishment.

He was already in such a miserable state before he even made a move, while the female cultivator directly attacked people, and they were even people from Snow Eagle City.

He didn't even want to think about what would happen to that female cultivator...

"Hmph, you wouldn't know that, would you?"

The cultivator snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and suddenly began to keep everyone in suspense.

"Hey, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me what happened to that female cultivator in the end."

The surrounding cultivators urged them on, filled with regret, wondering how they could have missed such a grand spectacle.

"That female cultivator, whose background is unknown, actually managed to summon Master Han Li. Upon seeing the situation, Master Han Li immediately apologized to the female cultivator and even gave her a Purple Crystal Card."

Upon hearing the words "Amethyst Card," the surrounding cultivators' eyes widened in disbelief, as if they had heard something utterly unbelievable.

"That female cultivator has a Purple Crystal Card, so who's in VIP room number one now...?"

They instinctively looked towards VIP room number one, their sharp gazes seemingly trying to pierce through the barriers outside the room.

"No wonder people who can get the Purple Crystal Card are so rich."

Everyone sighed in dismay. Just as they were discussing it, Liu Lian raised the price again.

A fire coral that was worth at most fifty high-grade spirit stones was thus inflated to two hundred and fifty stones, a fivefold increase in price.

In an instant, everyone's attention was once again focused on the window of VIP box number one.

Let's see if the owner of Box 1 will stop bidding this time and engage in another 'dog-walking' behavior.

Suddenly, a clear female voice came from inside the room.

The sound wasn't loud, so everyone present could hear it clearly.

“It’s too boring to just quote a price like that. Why don’t I and the people in VIP room number ten take out the spirit stones first?”

"Only by displaying all the spirit stones can we have a real bidding process. Otherwise, what if someone tries to take advantage of the situation and then can't produce the spirit stones afterward?"

"We can't possibly trouble the auctioneer to hold another auction, can we? I think everyone's time is very precious."

As he spoke, Chu Luobai took out two hundred spirit stones from his spirit stone bag and used his spiritual power to lift them into the air in front of the auctioneer.

The spirit stones, radiating a hazy glow, were piled up into a small mountain, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"this..."

The auctioneer on stage was also dumbfounded. In all her years as an auctioneer, this was truly the first time she had encountered such a situation.

After all, those who come to the Misty Sea Gathering, even those who are independent cultivators, are all considered to be prominent figures.

Who would do something as tasteless as not paying after filming?

Even if someone really dares, the Mihai Society is not to be trifled with, and will actually make him pay the price.

However, since the guests in this private room made this request, she, a mere auctioneer, couldn't very well refute it.

Moreover, the guest in VIP room number ten had a special status, and she had some doubts about whether he could actually produce so many high-grade spirit stones.

If the other party is willing to swallow their pride and insist on paying on credit...

The auctioneer hesitated for a moment, then a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

The next second, she flashed a charming smile, winked at the crowd below the stage, and slowly began to speak.

"Coincidentally, our host is also here today. Let our host be the witness to such an interesting event."

After saying that, she swayed her hips as she walked off the stage.

Then, Han Li slowly walked onto the auction stage, waving his fan, still wearing a smiling expression.

He first glanced at the pile of spirit stones floating in mid-air, then revealed a troubled expression.

"Both of you are distinguished guests of our building. If the bidding continues like this, it will ruin the original purpose of the auction."

"How about you two do me a favor today and bid using only the spirit stones you currently have?"

"If someone has few spirit stones, consider it a sign from Heaven that you are not destined for this item."

The auctioneers didn't know Liu Lian's true capabilities, but Han Li knew them very well.

After this auction, Liu Lian's wallet is probably already empty. The fact that he still dares to raise the price recklessly probably means he thinks he has Guan Shanyue by his side to bail him out.

Han Li would never agree to antagonize Snow Eagle City for the sake of a son-in-law.

Now that he's taking charge, and with the added restrictions, even if Xu Haotian tries to use this as an excuse to make trouble for him, it will be difficult for him to find any real leverage.

"What do you two think?"

Seeing no response, Han Li curled the corners of his lips and raised his voice to ask.
