Nalan Kang said coldly, taking Ginny with him as he slowly turned away. The Phoenix stared blankly at the backs of the two, with tear-filled eyes, two lines of tears sliding down, "Why, why treat me ?" Looking at her helplessly crying, Su Chen, who had been calm all along, slightly narrowed his eyes, a hint of extreme chill flashing through them, his slightly raised lips revealing a distinct killing intent... "Fifty thousand for the second time! Is there a higher bid than fifty thousand!" The auctioneer shouted on the stage! After several seconds, he sighed helplessly and concluded, "Fifty thousand for the third time, this primary Spirit Master secret record goes to the Snow Clan!" In the crowd below the stage, a white-haired elder slightly nodded to those around him, showing modesty. He was the Snow Clan Leader, Snow Jieke. "Haha, it sold for a good price, but judging by their looks, it seems they’ve encountered some trouble." In the VIP room on the second floor, Tianhui gently laughed. At this moment, the door knocked again, and a respectful male voice came in. "Lord Tianhui, Nanding Xiongqi, Nalan Qing, and Caster request a meeting!" "Caster? Why is he here too?" Upon hearing the voice, Tianhui first thought of Caster, who held a position in the royal court. He feared that along with Caster, a whole group of royals might follow. Shaking his head helplessly, he said lightly, "Come in." The elegantly-looking Nanding Xiongqi, the smirking Nalan Qing, and the eternally stern-faced Caster all appeared before Tianhui and Wusentan. Seeing the genuine article Tianhui, Nanding Xiongqi’s expression changed slightly, taking a few steps forward, "Lord Tianhui, Xiongqi arrived a bit late, I beg for forgiveness!" Tianhui twitched his lips, touching his forehead helplessly, "Nanding Xiongqi, didn’t your precious daughter say you only brought one person, how come..." Seeing him looking at himself, Nalan Qing quickly said, "Forgive me, Lord. It’s Nalan Qing who came of his own accord. I’ve long heard of your fame and wanted to see for myself. To witness your handsome and majestic figure is indeed as you are said!" Tianhui nearly burst out laughing on the spot, holding back and waving his hand, "The Nalan Clan Leader overly praises..." Nalan Qing chuckled dryly twice and wisely stepped aside. However, in his heart, he felt a bit smug about his timely flattery. Who is Tianhui? The inevitable next hall master of Divine Concealment Hall, and even if Nalan Qing were more arrogant, he dared not act out in front of someone like that. So from the start, he decided to go all out today and shamelessly fawn on Tianhui. Thinking of how valued he’d be by Divine Concealment Hall, he felt immensely pleased. "Caster, why are you here too?" Tianhui had crossed paths with Caster several times. Caster, with his stern expression, said, "Lord, I just happened to leave the palace to find the princess." It was indeed Caster, succinct with no wasted words. Tianhui secretly thought and then looked at Nanding Xiongqi, the latter stepping forward respectfully, "Lord, don’t be angry, Xiongqi only feared neglecting you and then committing an unforgivable mistake." "Hahaha, it’s not so serious, I’m just an ordinary person, why have you all come out for me?" Tianhui suddenly laughed, yet felt rather helpless; he found such occasions most frustrating, yet each time he had to pretend to be courteous. He secretly vowed not to inform that troublesome Dolmont on his next visit to Muni City! He glanced around, seeing Dolmont on the first floor, watching the auction of the golden bull’s horn with interest, a hint of deep meaning forming on his lips. "Lord, when the auction ends, let me represent the Nalan Family and invite you to a reception at the ’Moon Viewing Tower’!" Nalan Qing mustered the courage to say. "No need, Nalan Clan Leader, you’re too kind." Tianhui politely declined, "I’ve already arranged to meet a friend, and once the auction is over, I’ll go with him for a drink." Nalan Qing and Nanding Xiongqi simultaneously turned pale, greatly surprised. Who was Tianhui to call a friend? Other than a few exceptional figures from Divine Concealment Hall, it could only be that madman Dolmont. But as everyone knew, Dolmont preferred collecting over drinking, so excluding him, could there really be a strong figure from Divine Concealment Hall in Muni City? The two exchanged glances, filled with confusion and astonishment. But since Tianhui had spoken, they dared not insist further. Thus, Nalan Qing could only regretfully say, "What bad luck, in that case, Lord, during your stay in Muni City, could you spare a day for our Nalan Family..." But before he finished, seeing Tianhui glancing downstairs, he suddenly headed towards the door, "Everyone, I have something to attend to downstairs, excuse me~" Watching his departing figure for a while, the three only then came to their senses. Nanding Xiongqi shook his head, clicking his tongue in amazement, "Could the Lord’s friend be in this auction hall?" Nalan Qing’s eyes lit up, quickly stepping out, as Nanding Xiongqi and Caster exchanged glances and followed. Only Wusentan remained, silently standing by the window, staring intently at that tall figure... "Fifteen thousand for the second time!" The auctioneer shouted! "Any more..." Another thunderous voice rang out, actually overpowering the auctioneer’s professional tone! Everyone looked over at Snow Jieke, filled with shock and disbelief! A golden bull’s horn was bid so high, they couldn’t understand what kind of anomaly befell the auction house today? Some knowledgeable guests discerned a few clues. Both treasures belonged to an Eastern youth, and this youth, in such a grand setting, remained expressionless throughout. His psychological resilience was evident. The key was the unique aura of a Beast Cultivator he possessed, attracting many noble ladies from Muni City, who cast curious and admiring glances his way. With deeper thought, one could understand Snow Jieke’s grand gesture. If this fifth-level Spirit Beast’s horn was cut by this youth, what did it imply? Chapters fırst released on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥 Yes, this youth possessed incredibly frightening Beast Cultivator abilities! Of course, there’s certainly a gambling aspect here, but shrewd collectors love to take risks and gamble. If they bet correctly, the auctioned items are not just two treasures, but the favor of a future powerhouse! Snow Jieke’s lips slightly raised, his eyes flashing with profound meaning. He had noticed Su Chen since he entered the venue, and after several observations and analyses, he confirmed his judgment. Therefore, he decided to "bid" on a young man of infinite potential at an astonishing price. However, developments often do not go as planned. At least Snow Jieke thought so, but someone disagreed. That person was Dolmont. "Eighteen thousand for the second time, if no higher bid, I’ll drop the hammer!" The auctioneer employed his professional techniques again. A calm voice suddenly rang out, causing everyone, including Ginny and Nalan Kang, to turn deathly pale again! Nalan Kang’s lips trembled, turning his head, he saw that smiling plump face, and his mind boomed! It was him again! First, he took away the Purple Crystal Jade Necklace, now helping that damned kid win this golden bull’s horn at such a high price! Even if he could endure more, he couldn’t stop himself from punching the seat fiercely! Seeing him lose control, Ginny shook her head secretly, whispering, "Brother Nalan, you needn’t be too angered, the combined auction prices of those two items are only fifty thousand, that final treasure will surely let them fail spectacularly." Nalan Kang forced down his anger and nodded in agreement, "The Princess is correct, merely fifty thousand cannot compare to that Thousand-year-old Beast Crystal Stone! With my million gold bid, I’ll certainly disgrace them along with the Cang Family’s name!" Snow Jieke glared fiercely at Dolmont, clenching and then releasing his aged fist. While he wanted to raise the bid, that damned madman had increased it so dramatically, making it hard to do so. Ultimately, he had to let the wealthy Dolmont snatch away the item soon to be his. "Hahaha, how delightful, Tianhui, you came down at the perfect moment!" Dolmont laughed, his fat shaking, eyes flashing brightly. Even Tianhui rarely saw Dolmont so excited. He shook his head, sighing, "You spendthrift, tossing tens of thousands of gold in an instant, don’t you feel any pain?"
