Seeing the reaction, the auctioneer smiled smugly and announced the starting price for this Beginner Spirit Master Secret Record: "Starting bid, ten thousand gold coins! Let’s begin!" As his voice fell, Su Chen felt a tightening sensation all over his body. From the tightly grasped jade hand of Phoenix, he also understood what it meant to be anxious and worried. Fearful that no one would accept this price. However, he soon breathed a sigh of relief. An elderly man with purple hair made a bid! Googlᴇ search 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 Another middle-aged man in a silver robe countered! "Eighteen thousand!"... Listening to those ever-increasing, almost unstoppable numbers, Su Chen began to see a sky full of dazzling gold coins flying before his eyes. Seeing his dumbfounded look, Phoenix was also delighted, her delicate body pressing closer and closer. On the other side, upon discovering Su Chen’s presence, Nalan Kang’s eyes, originally brimming with rage, were now replaced with overwhelming hatred. He clenched his fist, his teeth gritted, as Ginny beside him frowned and said, "Brother Nalan, why do you keep staring at that Easterner?" Nalan Kang exhaled a breath of malice, his face extremely grim as he said, "That damned kid, it was him who killed the four guardians of my Nalan Family yesterday!" Ginny gasped softly, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief, a look of immense incredulity spreading across her jade-like cheeks, "How is that possible, that Easterner looks no more than in his teens or twenties!" She was well aware of the strength of those four guardians of the Nalan Family, none of whom were weaker than a three-star Beast Master like Nalan Kang. Moreover, due to their long years of working together, the four had a high degree of tacit understanding, so even an average Beast Venerable Strong Person could not gain any advantage before them. Yet, this ridiculously young Eastern boy actually managed to kill all four guardians single-handedly? Ginny only felt that something within her, often praised as a beast cultivation genius since childhood, was shattering with a clang. She asked herself if it was her proud dignity? Nalan Kang was already in extreme anger, suddenly rising and striding towards Su Chen and Phoenix! The bidding voice continued to ring in his ears, but all he could see was a vast sky filled with flames! "Boy, there’s a road to heaven, but you refuse to take it; there’s no door to hell, yet you charge in! If I let you go today, I won’t bear the Nalan surname anymore!" Just as Nalan Kang was about to unleash his fury upon reaching the two of them, a hurried group of people suddenly appeared at the auction house entrance. Nalan Kang was taken aback when he bumped into his father head-on, hastily restraining his anger and bowing his head. But Nalan Qing merely gave him a cold glare and then followed the well-dressed middle-aged man ahead to the VIP room on the second floor. Behind them trailed several renowned figures from Muni City. Nalan Kang recognized among them the kingdom’s top expert, Caster? "Brother Nalan, what’s wrong?" Ginny caught up, slightly gasping. But the usually haughty eyes were now fixated on the young Eastern boy ahead. Nalan Kang suppressed the fury in his heart, his face slowly turning cold. He shook his head, looking at Su Chen with utmost disdain, and said sarcastically in a cold voice, "When did the Nanding Auction House also start letting in two stray dogs?" Phoenix’s pretty face turned cold, and she was about to rebuke him, but Su Chen stopped her. Looking at the calm-faced Su Chen who blocked Phoenix, Nalan Kang grew even more frustrated, his words turning icily ruthless, "A third-rate family actually dares to show off in the auction house, could it be they haven’t lost enough face yet." "Oh, I understand. The Cang Family can hardly survive anymore and has to rely on auctioning items to eke out a living, isn’t that right? Hahaha! How pitiful for that old man Cang Qu!" Nalan Kang acted as if he suddenly realized something, and even if Phoenix could tolerate personal insults, she couldn’t bear the nearly explosive discomfort when her family was insulted. She pushed away Su Chen’s hand and said angrily in a cold voice, "Nalan Kang, I forbid you from insulting our Cang Family anymore!" Nalan Kang swept his eyes over the stern-faced Su Chen and ignored Phoenix’s trembling body, sneering continuously, "Your Cang Family? Alright, since you don’t want me to insult you, then show me what your Cang Family is capable of. Later there’ll be a rare treasure at the finale, win it in the auction, and I’ll shut my mouth, how about that?" Looking at Nalan Kang’s expressions full of mockery, Phoenix was so angry her face turned blue. If it was just insults against her, she would not be so enraged. But thinking of the Cang Family, thinking of her father’s staggering figure, she couldn’t stop trembling from head to toe! However, amidst the fury, she began to regret it immensely, now caught in an impossible situation, what should she do? Why, why has the Cang Family fallen to a level where anyone can tread upon it, isn’t it because of your Nalan Family forcing it! She laughed sadly, her expression immensely desolate. "What, afraid? If you think it’s unfair, then I’ll play along with you?" Nalan Kang laughed arrogantly, and behind him, Ginny slowly understood the underlying grievance, her lips curling up in a slightly disdainful arc. No matter how strong a Beast Cultivator is, in this money-driven setting, aren’t they still subject to humiliation? At this moment, she also looked at Su Chen with increased arrogance. "It’s settled then, Miss Cangyan. If you don’t dare to bid, it means admitting that the Cang Family is a third-rate family, and your father Cang Qu is the culprit of this worthless family’s decline!"
