After a barrage of flowery praise, even the original owner, Zu'an, was reluctant to sell her: "If this woman's eloquence were in my world back then, she would definitely be a top-notch live-streaming e-commerce host."

Zuan was surprised that the first item auctioned was his own; it seems that Xiaoyao Tower really values ​​this gem.

The starting bid from Xiaoyao Tower was 100,000 taels of silver, and each bid could not be lower than 5,000 taels.

Soon, signs were raised one after another. Although this sapphire was not of much help to cultivation, it was extremely attractive to women. Buying it to please women was quite useful.

However, once the price reached 150,000 taels, the bidding frequency decreased, and only two or three people remained in the competition. After all, this thing was useless for cultivation, and everyone still had a certain value expectation in their minds.

Just then, a mocking voice came from one of the private rooms: "Two hundred thousand taels!"

Zu An frowned, because he recognized the voice as that of Sun Ji, the guy with the dead fish eyes from before.

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent. Although the gem was valuable, 200,000 taels was clearly too much of a premium. In addition, many people recognized his identity, so naturally no one dared to compete with him.

"Is Young Master Sun buying this to pursue a girl from some family?"

"I heard that Young Master Sun was pursuing a stunningly beautiful woman surnamed Qiu some time ago. I wonder if this was bought for her."

"Maybe not. Maybe he was just venting his anger at the door..."

Soon, whispers began to circulate among the people below, and the news of the conflict that had just occurred outside spread throughout the entire place.

The two jade pendant owners were locked in a fierce confrontation, while the others excitedly cracked open sunflower seeds.

Sun Ji was already standing at the window, basking in the awe and astonishment of the crowd. He loved to show off, so even in the mysterious Xiaoyao Tower where everyone wore masks, he didn't mind revealing his true identity.

Zu An thought to himself, "Is this guy an idiot? He clearly doesn't get along with me, but he still gives me extra money."

Soon, a waiter from Xiaoyao Tower delivered the sapphire to Sun Ji's private room. Sun Ji then played with the gem in his hand and suddenly slammed it against the railing, shattering the sapphire into pieces.

A gasp rippled through the crowd, and the people from Xiaoyao Tower panicked: "What is the young master doing?"

Sun Ji replied, "It's nothing, I just bought it to make a sound, I'll pay the price I owe."

The people at Xiaoyaolou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that he would pay the bill as promised.

However, everyone else was stunned. Two hundred thousand taels of silver just to hear a sound?

This is outrageously extravagant!

Those who didn't know Sun Ji began to inquire about who he was.

Even the old man Yang Long frowned and whispered to Sun Ji, "Young master, this is too wasteful. The master will probably blame us when he finds out."

"Don't worry, I'll just get the money back from him after leaving Xiaoyao Tower. I didn't lose anything; on the contrary, I made a lot of noise. Besides, the fact that that guy could bring out such a gem for auction proves that he must have something even better. He's definitely a big fat sheep. I'll find an even bigger and prettier one to give to Miss Qiu later." Sun Ji was almost impressed with his own wit.

Yang Long's expression changed, realizing that he had underestimated the young master. Although he was arrogant, he knew who he could offend and who he couldn't.

This guy is clearly not a prominent figure in Yi County. Judging from the gems he took out, they are most likely from the South Seas. Even if he were a sea dragon, he would have to bow down when he came to Yi County's territory.

The people of Yi County are known for their fierce and unruly nature. Demonic sects and thieves are rampant. It's common for them to rob wealthy merchants and then blame the robbers on the demonic sects and bandits. This is an open secret among many in the circle. After all, it's not so easy to live a carefree life just by relying on the government's salary.

So he stopped trying to persuade him, and in his heart he had already regarded Zu'an as a dead man.

Sun Ji became increasingly excited as he thought about it, and looked provocatively in the direction of Zu An: "Some people think that they can stand on equal footing with me with just a broken stone, but unfortunately your pride is not worth mentioning in my eyes."

Everyone realized that this was clearly a prelude to a feud.

Everyone was waiting to see how the owner of the other private room would respond, but considering the power of the Sun family, that person would probably have no choice but to swallow their anger and be lucky to leave safely.

No sooner had Sun Ji finished speaking than a streak of black light shot out and struck him in the face.

With a sharp crack, Sun Ji screamed and fell backward. When he finally managed to get up, his mouth was full of blood and he had lost several teeth.

At that moment, Zuan appeared at the window and smiled slightly, "Excuse me, I just wanted to hear the noise too."
