"Why is that?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled.

"You'll find out soon, Mr. Ye," Bai Yuling said mysteriously.

Ye Feng glanced at Bai Yurou, but didn't say anything more.

Bai Yurou took the initiative to say, "Mr. Ye, I have already fired Hu Yingjun, and I'm getting my deposit back."

“A wise decision,” Night Wind said.

Bai Yurou originally planned to hire Hu Yingjun as her teacher to learn martial arts for self-defense.

However, after what happened yesterday, Bai Yurou was completely disappointed in Hu Yingjun. Since that was the case, she naturally would no longer stubbornly try to learn any martial arts from Hu Yingjun.

Hu Yingjun naturally dared not fail to return the deposit given by Bai Yurou.

After all, Bai Yurou is the eldest daughter of the Bai family. How could Hu Yingjun dare to offend the Bai family?

The auction will begin in a minute or two.

Just then, a young man strode in from outside, accompanied by a beautiful and graceful young woman.

"Zhao Shao Chen? He's here too?" Bai Yuling's face showed a look of disgust.

Sun Lili shrank back, as if afraid of being seen by Zhao Shao Chen.

Although Bai Yuling had her backing her up, Sun Lili still didn't dare to challenge Zhao Shao Chen, after all, Bai Yuling couldn't protect her forever.

“Zhao Shao Chen is the eldest son of the Zhao family, so it’s not surprising that the CEO of Tiantong Trading Company invited him to attend the auction,” Bai Yurou said calmly.

As they were talking, the auction began.

A stunningly beautiful female auctioneer walked out from the stage.

Although the female auctioneer is over forty, she still retains her charm, and the mature aura she exudes is incredibly attractive.

The female auctioneer, holding a microphone, stood in the center of the stage and said with a smile, "Thank you all for attending the auction hosted by our Tiantong Trading Company. On behalf of all the staff of the company, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude to you."

"Now, the auction officially begins. Please welcome the first item to the stage!"

As the female auctioneer finished speaking, a female staff member came onto the stage carrying a tray.

The tray was covered with a layer of red velvet, so the guests at the scene could not see what the auction items on the tray actually were.

When the female auctioneer lifted the red velvet cloth, a jade pendant in emerald green was immediately revealed to everyone.

"Don't underestimate this jade pendant, everyone. It's called the Bloodlight Protection Spirit Pendant. In critical moments, it can activate a shield with blood, thus resisting danger and saving your life!" The female auctioneer on the stage said loudly, holding the jade pendant.

Upon hearing this, all the guests in the auction hall showed expressions of surprise.

"What? It can activate a shield?"

Is this true?

"I have a feeling you're lying."

Although the female auctioneer aroused everyone's curiosity, the vast majority of guests present were skeptical.

The female auctioneer said calmly, "I know that you won't easily believe that such a magical item has appeared in front of you, but that's okay, I can prove it to you now!"

The female auctioneer then put the jade pendant around her neck and bit her finger to apply the smear to it.

The next moment, the jade pendant shone with a bright red light!

An eerie red light enveloped the female auctioneer's entire body, eventually forming an ellipsoidal shield that protected her from head to toe!

The guests at the scene were stunned by what they saw!

Night Breeze raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, a magical artifact appeared at this auction.

Although it's just a very ordinary first-grade spiritual weapon, it's already quite powerful.

"Next, let's test the protective effect of this jade pendant. Please watch."

After the female auctioneer finished speaking, she waved her hand, and immediately a burly man with a bare upper body and well-groomed arms walked out from the side of the stage, holding a large iron hammer.

Upon reaching the female auctioneer, the burly man swung his sledgehammer and smashed it hard against the blood-red shield surrounding her body!

"Bang!"

A dull thud resounded, but the blood-red shield remained unscathed!

The burly man staggered back several steps before regaining his footing due to the force of the impact!

"See that? The blood-light shield formed by the Blood-Light Protective Pendant can withstand such a fierce attack!" the female auctioneer said proudly.

The burly man walked over again and swung his sledgehammer down once more!

The burly man struck the shield four or five times before a crack finally appeared, and the bright red light became very dim.

After a moment, the blood-red shield completely disappeared, and the protective effect of the blood-red protective pendant was gone.

"Each time the Bloodlight Shield is activated, it takes seventy-two hours before it can be activated again. Moreover, this jade pendant does not require any maintenance and can simply be worn on the body."

"Distinguished guests, you have all witnessed the effects of the Bloodlight Protective Pendant. This is a treasure that can save lives in critical moments. I think you all understand the importance of this jade pendant now!"

"Now, the Bloodlight Protective Spirit Pendant is officially up for auction, with a starting price of ten million and each bid increment of no less than one million!"

As soon as the female auctioneer finished speaking, the guests immediately began bidding fiercely.

"Such a wondrous object exists in the world! It's simply astonishing! I bid thirteen million!"

"Fourteen million!"

"Fifteen million!"

"I'll offer seventeen million!"

In less than a minute, the price of the Bloodlight Protective Spirit Pendant was driven up to 30 million!

And this price is still rising!

Even the sisters Bai Yurou and Bai Yuling are already tempted!

"What is this thing? It has such amazing effects..." Bai Yurou said in surprise.

“It’s a spiritual artifact, or more precisely, a first-grade spiritual artifact,” Ye Feng explained.

"A magical artifact?"

Bai Yurou, Bai Yuling, Sun Lili, and Lin Yifei all looked towards Ye Feng.

Night Breeze said calmly, "That's right. Spiritual artifacts are items made from special materials that contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Most of them can only be used by martial artists, but a small number of spiritual artifacts can also be used by ordinary people. And spiritual artifacts that can be used by ordinary people are not powerful."

"This Bloodlight Protective Spirit Pendant is a Grade 1 spiritual artifact. Its protective effect seems magical, but it's actually just so-so. At most, it can only withstand three or four bullets."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yurou, Bai Yuling, and the others were at a loss for words.

The protective jade pendant, which was powerful enough to withstand three to four bullets, was completely disregarded by Ye Feng!

"Mr. Ye, you are a martial artist, can you forge spiritual weapons?" Lin Yifei asked curiously.

“Of course,” Night Breeze nodded.

"Then, you can also refine that Bloodlight Protective Spirit Pendant?" Lin Yifei asked again.
