Female lead: No, it's me again??

As he spoke, the lights on the third floor turned on.

Su Xue's eyes lit up, and she reached out to tug at the man's sleeve, "Royal brother! Royal brother! It's lit up!"

"Will you take me to find Brother Qingfeng?"

The man's teacup wobbled, and a few drops of tea nearly spilled onto his clothes. He took a deep breath. "Su Xue! If you keep doing this, I won't bring you next time!"

This girl is completely out of control!

In the only private room on the third floor, Su Qingfeng lay casually on a rocking chair, eating grapes while looking at the roster in his hand.

He frowned when he saw one of the names.

"Wu Bo, why is this thing here again?"

The old man named Wu Bo looked down and said, "This item was personally requested by the old patriarch."

"They can't be sold every year, what's the point of keeping them? Let's get rid of them!"

He slammed the booklet on the table and gave the order with an air of authority.

Suddenly, Su Qingfeng felt his ear being grabbed forcefully!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, Dad, do you walk without a gust of wind?"

That strength, it must be his father.

Poor kid, his domineering attitude only lasted two seconds.

A rough male voice came from the right, "You brat, trying to make decisions on your own again? Did you get my permission?"

The middle-aged man was dressed in a black robe and had a burly build, while Su Qingfeng looked as thin as a bamboo pole in comparison.

This realization led to Su Qingfeng being disliked by the other party once again.

This brat, why does he look like a weak scholar?

"Dad, you can't sell that broken stone anyway, you might as well throw it away!"

Su Nian glared at him, "Throw my ass! If you dare throw it, I'll throw you!"

"Get out of here! Just looking at you makes me angry!"

The middle-aged man released his grip on Su Qingfeng's ear and sat down on a chair nearby.

He only attends the auction in June each year; the rest of the time, Su Qingfeng manages it.

While they were playing around, many more lights came on on the second floor.

These are the Xie family and the Wu family of Snow Crystal Imperial City, plus the royal family. In any case, the three major powers of the imperial city have been gathered together.

Their host family was just a small business selling things.

"Clang clang clang!"

The auction officially began with three chimes.

As the singing and dancing ended, a graceful woman in red walked slowly onto the round platform, where a circular stone pillar more than half a meter high rose up.

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to today's Chasing the Wind Auction. I am Yao Yao, the person in charge of this auction."

The woman's voice was so alluring that it captivated everyone present.

"Miss Yao Yao, we're all old acquaintances, so there's no need for introductions, right?"

"That's right, that's right! Although Miss Yao Yao is very beautiful, I'm here for the treasure today!"

"Get lost! I want to hear more from Miss Yao Yao, get the hell out of here!"

The noise from the audience was loud and chaotic, but Yao Yao wasn't bothered by it.

"I know you're all eager, so I won't keep you any longer. The auction will now begin!"

A woman in blue came up the steps and placed a long box on a stone pillar.

"The first item up for auction is the Jade Bell Umbrella, a first-tier sacred artifact, which was obtained by Chasing Wind Tower during their exploration of the ruins not long ago."

"According to the appraisal of Zhuifeng Tower, it is made from the softest skin of the belly of the defensive sacred beast Yushui Jiao, and the handle is made of snake bone."

"The Jade Bell Umbrella has extremely strong defensive capabilities. When it gets wet, it emits bursts of dragon roars, which have a suppressive effect on spirit beasts below the Saint rank."

"Starting bid: 500,000 top-grade spirit stones. Each bid must be at least 10,000 top-grade spirit stones higher!"

The girl in green opened the box, revealing a blue bone umbrella. A powerful aura emanated from it, and water droplets condensed on its surface.

A lifelike blue dragon is depicted on it, with lotus ponds lightly touched, creating a beautiful ink painting.

The audience was in an uproar.

"Holy weapon?"

"They're auctioning off sacred artifacts? The resources of the Wind Chaser Pavilion are a bit too strong!"

A man in black robes said, "That's right! These days, who wouldn't treasure a sacred artifact like it? Especially in Snow Crystal State, are they trying to create this atmosphere right from the start?"

Feng Siyue couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, "That's quite a generous gesture."

It's just too expensive. Once you reach the Saint level, whether it's cultivation techniques, weapons, or spirit beasts and pill furnaces, the price is all for top-grade spirit stones.

Starting at 500,000, Feng Siyue suddenly understood why Xuan Li had said that the senior was stingy.

Their combined wealth couldn't even buy a single sacred artifact at the auction house.

She couldn't help but worry: would she really be able to get what she wanted?

"Five hundred and fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones!"

Su Xue immediately took a liking to this sacred artifact and excitedly raised the price by 50,000 top-grade spirit stones!

If she gets this umbrella, the eldest sister definitely won't be able to beat her in the academy competition!

"Seven hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones!"

In the private room opposite her, the woman bidding had a cold voice.

Xie Zinan!

He tried to take her things again!

Su Xue pursed her lips, raising the price with displeasure, "Eight hundred thousand!"

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Ninety-five top-grade spirit stones!"

Su Xue slammed her hand on the table and announced the number.

"One million top-quality spiritual stones!"

Seeing Xie Zinan pressing on so closely, Su Xue wanted to add to the pressure, but her brother Su Shaohan stopped her.

The man's face showed a warning.

"Su Xue, don't forget the important matter!"

Remembering her ancestor's instructions, the girl could only reluctantly sit back down.

Others wanted to bid, but they gave up when they thought of the royal family and the Xie family.

A first-tier sacred artifact is not worth risking your life to steal.
