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

Su Xue stood up, her eyes threatening as she looked at the old man. "Sir, I, the princess, am taking the Breakthrough Pill on the Emperor's orders. You and the rest of you probably don't want to be enemies of the royal family, do you?"

After she finished speaking, she glanced subtly at the Wu and Xie families.

The old man scoffed disdainfully.

"What, you dare to make a move inside the auction house?"

"You can't escape inside the auction house, but do you think you can get away outside?"

Unable to compete effectively, Su Xue has begun resorting to threats.

Xie Liu and Wu Sihao didn't look too good either; the royal family...

"That's how domineering the royal family is. Whenever they want something but can't get it, they start threatening them with His Majesty."

His Majesty Su Yang of the Snow Crystal Dynasty is at the seventh level of the Spirit Venerable realm, which is three or four levels higher than Xie Liu, the head of the Xie family, and Wu Silong, the head of the Wu family. This has led to his children being domineering and arrogant.

"Who says it isn't? But power is quite useful, isn't it?"

"Sigh, only Snow Crystal State is like that. I heard that the other three states are not afraid of the royal family at all, and Central State doesn't even have a royal family!"

"Hey, Feng Siyue, what happened?"

Hearing the murmurs around him, Xuan Li leaned closer and asked.

Feng Siyue recounted the events to Xuan Li.

The people below whispered amongst themselves, drowning out Xuan Li's mutterings.

"Five million for a Breakthrough Pill? Isn't that just throwing money away?"

"Besides, didn't I remember that the Ice Spirit Fruit of Tianshan was harvested back in January this year?"

"Could it be that the Ancestor is lying to me? That's impossible!"

The girl in black scratched her head, somewhat puzzled as to where the Ice Spirit Fruit came from.

She didn't notice that the old man in black robes beside her glanced in her direction.

no yet?

The old man seemed to realize something; his face turned ashen beneath his black robe, and he turned and hurriedly left.

Seeing that the people had left and Xie Liu and Wu Sihao showed no intention of bidding further, Su Xue turned around and sat back down triumphantly.

How could the royal family be unable to control even two families?

joke.

Top floor.

"Dad, how long do you think the Snow Crystal Royal Family can last? I think the Xie and Wu families are almost bursting with resentment."

Su Qingfeng sipped his wine and asked the middle-aged man next to him.

"Hmph, I'm afraid it won't be many years. Those two families are not pushovers that the royal family can easily manipulate."

If Zhuifenglou hadn't stated back then that it wouldn't participate in the conflicts between aristocratic families, it would probably have been restricted by the royal family.

"By the way, is it time for that thing next?"

"Ah."

Su Qingfeng still wanted to struggle a bit more, "Father, are you really going to add this 'selling broken stones' label to the reputation of Zhuifeng Tower?"

As a result, he was beaten up again by Su Nian.

"How many times have I told you, you brat! It's not a rock!"

Su Qingfeng covered the bump on his head and said pitifully, "No, no, why do you keep hitting me?"

Su Nian said with disdain, "Heh, I just don't like you!"

"What's the use of a man in his mid-twenties who can't even bring home a wife?"

Su Qingfeng felt his head spinning.

"Who gets married in their early twenties?!"

Do we still want the wonderful world outside?

The middle-aged man glanced at him smugly, "Your mother and I got married when we were twenty, do you have a problem with that?"

Su Qingfeng: "......"

Why do you always bring up your mother?

Downstairs, the third item for auction was brought up.

Yao Yao looked somewhat helpless. "This third item is something that our regular customers should know about."

The audience started to jeer.

“Whenever Yao Yao says those words, I know that the stone is about to appear again.”

Someone asked curiously, "What kind of stone?"

A man in black robes spoke up, "The Chasing Wind Auction House has a black stone that is auctioned off every June."

"It is said to have been used by the owner of Zhuifeng Tower when he was young to support a table leg. It was bid for 1,500 top-grade spirit stones each time, but it always failed to sell."

"Fiveteen hundred top-grade spirit stones? Isn't that pure robbery?"

The man said matter-of-factly, "That's why it goes unsold every year."

"Do you think the Chasing Wind Pavilion, which holds an auction every three months, would be short of 1,500 top-grade spirit stones? Of course not!"

"Therefore, everyone agrees that the owner of Zhuifeng Tower is just using this for amusement."

Xuan Li listened with a complicated expression, "What Ancestor was talking about, could it be this thing? A stepping stone?"

It's a shame he figured it out.

"do not know."

Feng Siyue covered her face. So, she wanted to buy a stepping stone?

1,500 top-grade spirit stones?

How did you calculate it so perfectly?

"Starting price... 1,500 top-grade spirit stones, no minimum bid increment, bidding starts now."

Yao Yao herself was a little embarrassed to say it, "Will anyone really buy it?"

For a long time at the auction, no one made a bid.

Together with the past years.

The woman shook her head; it seemed the auction would fail again this year.

Just as she was about to announce that the auction had failed, a hand that was clearly a woman's was raised, which was very conspicuous in the hall.

Feng Siyue hadn't fully accepted this fact yet, but to avoid the auction failing, she had no choice but to speak up.

"1,500 top-grade spirit stones."

Yao Yao looked over in surprise, "Um... is this customer sure they want to buy?"

"purchase!"

Feng Siyue sighed helplessly; she had truly lost face.

Su Xue even mocked,

"Are there really people this stupid?"

Yao Yao paused for a moment, then quickly maintained her professional ethics, "Is there any further bidding? If not, this stone is this young lady's!"

The scene was completely silent; everyone stared at them as if they were some rare and exotic animal.

There are really fools who would buy that.

A maid in green brought a box the size of her head to Feng Siyue's side and handed her a storage bag. Feng Siyue then transferred 1,500 top-grade spirit stones from her storage ring to him.

The maid was surprised for a moment, then smiled and nodded after checking, before turning and leaving.

Feng Siyue stood up and said to Xuan Li, "Miss Xuan, let's go."

We can't stay here any longer, firstly because we're broke;

Secondly, it's truly a social disaster!

Xuan Li stood up, holding Tangyuan, and yawned.

"Let's go."

She was sleepy too.

After speaking, Xuan Li left his seat first, followed by Feng Siyue.

The crowd around Feng Siyue's seat remained quiet for a while.
