"And... for example, Yixuan, one million ten-thousand-coin, is there a higher price?" Sili asked slowly, repeating the question a second time.

A bell rang on the third floor, and the master of ceremonies breathed a sigh of relief: "We have distinguished guests who need to discuss matters. The auction will be suspended for a quarter of an hour. Please take a rest, and we will meet again later."

There was another knock on the door of Ruyixuan. Shen Yao stood up and said irritably, "I'll go!"

She walked to the door and asked through it, "Who is it? What do you want?"

The voice of the male cultivator in tight-fitting clothes who had come before came from outside the door: "Miss, our young master invites you to sit in the Linglong Pavilion."

Ah, it really is the Linglong Pavilion. Shen Yao decisively refused: "I'm not going!"

The male cultivator in tight-fitting clothes said, "Miss, don't regret it."

Shen Yao said impatiently, "No regrets!"

The male cultivator in tight-fitting clothes was still outside the door: "Do you know who the young master of Linglong Pavilion is?"

Shen Yao: "I don't care who he is. Just leave and don't come back."

The male cultivator in his tight-fitting clothes returned angrily to Linglong Pavilion and reported the conversation to Long Xuan.

Long Xuan stood by the railing of the stands, his eyes fixed unfriendly on the building to his left. On the second stand from the right on the second floor, he saw a female cultivator sitting on a bench. He thought to himself, 'What an arrogant and ignorant girl!'

The beautiful female cultivator, Long Xuan's sixth younger sister Long Jiajia, stood beside him, her gaze also fixed on Shen Yao's face: "She's pretty, and looks quite aloof. This girl is stubborn and won't listen to reason. What does Fourth Brother plan to do?"

Long Xuan sneered: "Hmph, what can we do? Let's raise the bid first. I don't believe that such a little girl could bring many Ten Coins with her when she comes out to play."

Sensing two gazes, Shen Yao looked up and met Long Xuan's gaze.

She stood up to meet his gaze, walked to the fence, and made a face at Long Xuan.

Feng Yu pulled her back, stood in front of her, and gave Long Xuan a warning look.

Long Xuan stared at him for a moment, then turned and went back to his seat.

Long Jiajia returned to her seat, thinking of Shen Yao's funny face, and laughed, "That girl looks aloof, but her personality is quite cute."

Long Xuan's face remained dark: "The male cultivator beside her is very dangerous."

"Really? What do you mean by that, Fourth Brother?" Long Jiajia didn't pay attention; she only glanced at the male cultivator, noticing the scar on his face, and lost interest, focusing instead on the girl arguing with her Fourth Brother.

Long Xuan tapped his fingers on the table: "It's inconvenient to use my spiritual sense to probe, but I have a feeling that he is very strong, at least a demon saint."

Long Jiajia didn't care at all: "He's just a demon saint. We're both demon saints, and there are four more on the third floor. Six of us can easily take him down."

"If all else fails, let Tu Xiaoxiao go. It's not good for the Demon Ancestor to bully the Demon Saint if word gets out."

"The Demon Ancestor fighting the Demon Saint doesn't sound good, but six fighting one sounds good?" Long Xuan was speechless. His sixth sister's way of thinking was truly amazing.

Long Xuan stopped talking. In fact, he felt that the male cultivator was very likely a demon ancestor.

The male cultivator had sharp eyes and a murderous aura about him, indicating that he had experienced many extremely dangerous and brutal battles.

He also has a scar on his face. Only low-level cultivators of the ninth or tenth rank, who do not have a wood spirit root, would have a scar if they could not afford to pay for medical treatment after being injured.

It's obvious that the male cultivator from Ruyi Pavilion wasn't unable to afford the full amount of money to hire a pharmacist, which can only mean that his scar can't be healed.

To leave an incurable scar on a demon saint or even a demon ancestor... Long Xuan had only heard that injuries sustained in secret realms were incurable. From this, he deduced that this male cultivator who made him feel dangerous had most likely been to a secret realm, been injured, and survived. His strength was not to be underestimated.

The auction continued. The Master of Ceremonies, having received a signal from Long Xuan, then presided over the auction: "The quarter-hour period is over. We welcome everyone to continue bidding. Our distinguished guest from Ruyi Pavilion has already bid one million ten thousand coins. Is there a higher bid?"

The golden megaphone in the air quoted: "Linglong Pavilion, 1.1 million ten thousand coins."

"Wow, not bad." Shen Yao raised an eyebrow: "He's willing to add 100,000 at once."

Feng Yu: "Hmm, what does my wife wish to do?"

Shen Yao: "Of course it's doubled."

Feng Yu smiled helplessly: "As long as my wife is happy."

Shen Yao pressed the small speaker on the box lid: "Two million ten-thousand-yuan coins."

The golden trumpet's voice was truly loud: "Ruyi Pavilion, two million ten thousand coins."

Long Xuan followed closely, quoting with his golden trumpet: "Linglong Pavilion, 2.1 million ten thousand coins."

The scene was completely silent. No one wanted to get involved. Everyone knew that Linglong Pavilion and Ruyi Pavilion were locked in a battle, and the final outcome depended on these two.

However, the spectators preferred Linglong Pavilion because after the annual dance competition, the champion's dance was always snatched up by the guest on the third floor.

No cultivator in Longyuan City would compete with the third floor at the West City Theater. As local cultivators, they all knew that the luxurious private rooms on the third floor were reserved for the Long, Lu, Tu, and Hua families during the annual dance competition.

The four major families of Longyuan City are all related by marriage. Offending one family is equivalent to offending all four, and no one would dare to risk such a misfortune.

Everyone looked curiously at Ruyi Pavilion, wanting to see what the fool who was bidding looked like. Apart from the guest cultivators of Linglong Pavilion, the other cultivators on the third floor also stood in front of the railing of the viewing platform, looking at the female cultivator bidding at Ruyi Pavilion.

Upstairs in Ruyi Pavilion, two guest cultivators from Zhuyu Pavilion couldn't see what was happening in Ruyi Pavilion downstairs, so they anxiously ran to the neighboring Mingyue Pavilion to see what was going on.

The Master of Ceremonies' voice rang out twice: "Is there a higher price than 2.1 million ten thousand coins for the Linglong Pavilion?"

She spoke very quickly, as if she wanted to end the auction as soon as possible.

"Ruyi Pavilion, three million ten thousand coins." The announcement from the golden megaphone filled Sili with despair. She glanced disgruntled at the Ruyi Pavilion stands, inwardly grumbling, "Don't mess with me, girl! Why did you have to come this year to compete with the Demon Saint Longxuan?"

Long Xuan's face turned ashen. He spoke to Shen Yao through amplified means: "Little girl, you have to take responsibility for bidding recklessly. Can you come up with three million ten-thousand-coins?"

"Pfft." Shen Yao laughed, and replied amplifiedly, "It's just three hundred dollars, you can't possibly not afford that, can you?"

She pressed the loudspeaker button: "Four million ten-dollar coins."

In the quiet venue, the golden megaphone loudly announced the price: "Ruyixuan, four million ten thousand coins."

There wasn't even a gasp in the room at that moment.

She pressed the small loudspeaker on the bidding box again, and the golden loudspeaker's bid sounded particularly jarring to Long Xuan: "Ruyi Xuan, five million ten thousand coins."

On the third floor of the Lingxiao Pavilion, directly opposite Ruyi Pavilion, a tall male cultivator with fox ears said to a female cultivator with fox ears beside him, "Third sister, this girl is very interesting."

The pretty fox-girl in the blue dress, holding a sky-blue embroidered fan, covered the lower half of her face and laughed: "Second brother, could it be that you've taken a fancy to her?"

The fox-eared male cultivator, with his eyes crinkling, commented, "Excellent appearance, arrogant personality. Such arrogance upon arrival suggests he must be quite strong. It's hard not to like him."

"Second brother is probably going to be disappointed," said the fox-woman in the blue dress. "Before you came, I saw her kissing the male cultivator next to her so passionately. He's not her husband, but he's her lover."

The fox-eared male cultivator twitched his ears slightly. He stared at Feng Yu for a moment, then smiled and said, "If he can look like that, then I can too."
