It landed with a thud, the noise immediately alerting Uncle Duan who was guarding outside the door.

Uncle Duan pushed the door open and reached out to help Kim Yoo-gyeom, but was forced back by a look from Qi Yue.

"roll."

Uncle Duan's expression changed slightly. He was about to say something when Kim Yugyeom raised his hand to stop him, turned over and stood up, elegantly patted his disheveled clothes, and said, "I didn't threaten you. This is a fair deal."

"A fair trade? Hahahaha!" Qiyue looked at Kim Yugyeom coldly, as if she had heard a joke, her beautiful eyes full of sarcasm.

"You dare talk to me about fairness?"

“I gave you the chips that could turn your entire Jin family around. What did you give me? There are countless auction houses in the world outside of Wanbaolou. I thought you were a smart man, but I never expected you to be so foolish.”

"But I don't know what kind of bargaining chips Hengyang Sect will give you after the deal with me ends."

Qiyue said disdainfully, and the array diagram she was originally going to give to Jin Youqian turned into dust and fell to the ground.

They left the auction house.

Watching July leave, Kim Yugyeom's heart skipped a beat, as if he had lost all his strength, and he walked to the chair and sat down in a daze.

"How could this happen? Where did things go wrong?" Kim Yugyeom murmured, looking up at Uncle Duan. "Uncle Duan, did I really do something wrong?"

Uncle Duan fell silent.

After a long while, he finally said, "Young Master, the array diagram is gone. What will happen to those who came to participate in the auction?"

Kim Yugyeom rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He had no time to care about what the people outside were doing. His father had fallen to the Nascent Soul stage, reducing his lifespan by a full thousand years. The second branch of the Kim family was eyeing him covetously and had joined forces with other elders in the clan to force his father to abdicate, wanting to take back Wanbao Tower.

He didn't want to force Qiyue, but he had no choice but to take the risk.

Only the complete Heavenly Evolution Technique can save his father!

The people sent to the Bone Tomb died one after another. He couldn't wait any longer; he had to obtain the complete Heavenly Evolution Technique!

Looking at Uncle Duan, Kim Yugyeom took out something he had prepared beforehand and handed it to him.

"Since there's no array diagram, let's auction off where it is."
