Even after sitting down in the auction hall, Yan Lin was still furious that Dongfang Mian hadn't stood up for him.

"Have you forgotten what the Grand Elder said? Junior Brother, always keep a low profile," Dongfang Mian said earnestly.

"You remember everything other people say, but you never listen to anything I say," Yan Lin felt a surge of anger.

The auction started soon. It was Dongfang Mian's first time participating in an auction held by Tianma Trading Company, so she sat in the most ordinary area.

Yue Qiu, on the other hand, had been here many times and spent a lot of money. At this moment, he was sitting arrogantly in the VIP area, occasionally casting a disdainful glance at Dongfang Mian.

"I'm going to twist her head off," Yan Lin said angrily.

Having grown accustomed to Yan Lin's aloof and taciturn demeanor, Dongfang Mian found the Yan Lin, now missing a portion of his memories, truly like a young junior brother who hadn't grown up, which amused Dongfang Mian.

The auction proceeded smoothly. At first, the items up for auction were all cheap goods, and no one in the VIP area made a move. On the contrary, the older men next to Dongfang Mian were bidding enthusiastically.

This caused Yan Lin to roll her eyes several times, and she emphasized in a low voice that items like these being auctioned usually don't even have the right to appear under her nose.

Soon, the auction entered its second half, and the quality of the auction items was much higher. People in the VIP area began to bid frequently, but they still only received eye rolls from Yan Lin.

Just then, the next item for auction was brought up, and Dongfang Mian couldn't help but be tempted.

This is an inconspicuous little flower, blooming in a rustic little wooden box. Dongfang Mian remembers clearly that this flower was named Winter Solstice when it was on the Vermilion Bird Continent.

He spent 100 million yuan to buy this flower, just to make the guy next to him smile.

Recalling the past, Dongfang Mian couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Yan Lin looked at her suspiciously, "Don't fall in love with me, I am destined to be your unattainable master."

"Alright, I hope you remember what I said today," Dongfang Mian said to Yan Lin, leaving him with a meaningful message.

Aju couldn't help but cover her face. It was all Ami's fault for being such a good master.

On the stage, the auctioneer's introduction came to mind: "Asparagus Flower, a king-level spiritual herb. Those who consume it can quickly recover from injuries and stabilize their souls. Starting bid: one thousand spirit coins."

Hiss~ Dongfang Mian gasped. Although spirit stones and spirit coins are not interchangeable on the Vermilion Bird Continent, and spirit stones are actually the leftover scraps from making spirit coins, according to Dongfang Mian's rough calculation, one thousand spirit coins were equivalent to one hundred million spirit stones back then.

I never imagined that the price that caused such a sensation at the auction would be just the starting bid here.

I'll offer two thousand.

A haughty voice rang out from the VIP section; it was Yue Qiu.

After she called out the price, she turned around and looked at Dongfang Mian provocatively.

Yan Lin couldn't help but want to curse as soon as he saw her face. Just as he was about to speak, a cold voice rang out beside him.

"Senior Sister Yue, the flowers are on the stage, not on my face. Why are you staring at me? Is that rag on your face too old and it's making your eyes hurt? Why are your eyesight so bad?"

Yan Lin looked at Dongfang Mian in surprise. So this woman could talk back. He thought she really wanted to listen to the elder and keep a low profile.

Yan Lin was very satisfied, saying that there were no cowards around him, especially since the woman was his chosen one who would assist him.

As soon as Dongfang Mian finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. Yue Qiu said with an embarrassed expression, "I know, you're the kind of person who likes to belittle others to satisfy yourself when you're always inferior to them."
