"Good! 100,000 spirit stones!"
Qin Feng jokingly called out the price.
Shi Hongyi could no longer contain himself: "Qin Feng! What do you mean by this! The Qilin Grass is useless to you, why are you fighting with me for it!"
Qin Feng was about to speak when Han Xuanxuan suddenly stood up: "How dare you yell at Brother Qin Feng? Shi Hongyi, do you want me to never forgive you in this lifetime?!"
Shi Hongyi: "Xuanxuan, Mother has suffered from illness for many years and urgently needs the Qilin Grass for medicine. Please persuade Qin Feng to stop fighting over it."
Han Xuanxuan took Qin Feng's arm and said, "I don't care about anyone else. I only listen to Brother Qin Feng. I will support him unconditionally with whatever he wants."
Shi Hongyi took a deep breath and felt nauseous looking at the two of them being so affectionate.
After a long silence, he coldly uttered, "Han Xuanxuan, how come I never noticed before that you are so disgusting!"
Han Xuanxuan was taken aback when she heard this. Shi Hongyi's face was full of disgust, which made her feel a sense of panic.
This sycophant never talks to me like this before, what's wrong with him today?
Yes, it must be because he's jealous of how close I am to Brother Qin Feng. That must be it.
Qin Feng also said arrogantly, "Qin Feng, aren't you a filial son? A mere 100,000 spirit stones have stumped you? It seems your filial piety isn't worth much."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao immediately retorted, "It's still more refined than some beasts whose minds are twisted by resentment towards the rich. They've clearly stated that this medicine is for saving lives."
And you two, you shameless couple, have repeatedly obstructed our plans, measuring filial piety with money. What right do you have to stand here with such an arrogant attitude, criticizing others?
These words drew cheers from the Lingbao Pavilion members, who also began to verbally attack Qin Feng and Han Xuanxuan.
"Who is this person? There's really no branch here."
Does he eat fried dough cakes?
"The Han family truly lives up to its reputation as a lower-class family; there's a reason why they haven't made any progress over the years."
"And then there's Qin Feng, he's just a good-for-nothing who lives a life of idleness. If it weren't for Young Master Shi, would he be where he is today?"
Faced with the barrage of accusations from the crowd, Qin Feng and Han Xuanxuan were humiliated and could only reluctantly return to their seats.
"You, Shi Hongyi, have embarrassed me and Brother Qin Feng like this. I'll bid on all the items in the auction later and see if you suffer a huge loss."
Han Xuanxuan was determined to make Shi Hongyi bleed heavily this time.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhao looked at Shi Hongyi, who was sighing and complaining, and kindly advised him, "Brother Shi, don't worry about these trivial matters."
Shi Hongyi shook his head and said to Shen Zhao, "Brother Shen, thank you for letting me see this woman's true colors. I was blind before to be so obedient to her. I never expected her to be so vicious. I appreciate your good intentions. Thank you."
"This child is teachable!"
Shen Zhao smiled faintly, feeling genuinely gratified by Shi Hongyi's awakening.
Because of the condemnation from everyone in Lingbao Pavilion, Qin Feng could no longer compete with Shi Hongyi for the Qilin Grass, and Shi Hongyi successfully won the bid for the Qilin Grass.
Shi Hongyi had no interest in even glancing at the next rare item, but Qin Feng and Han Xuanxuan kept bidding, eventually paying over 2.4 million spirit stones in total.
The Han family simply cannot afford so many spirit stones. After all, with Shi Hongyi's help, the Han family can barely earn 50,000 spirit stones a year. At this rate, it would take the Han family nearly fifty years to save enough to pay for this auction.
However, the two were not worried at all. They were confident that once the auction was over, Shi Hongyi would happily settle the bill for them.
Qin Feng was already envisioning the moment when he would take these spiritual treasures back to increase his strength, challenge Shi Hongyi directly, and then completely crush all the powerful and influential families in Yunzhou City.
He had been patient for too long and desperately needed an opportunity to prove his abilities.
After the auction, Shen Zhao and Shi Hongyi each paid for their purchases, and the other guests also completed their transactions in accordance with the rules.
When it was Qin Feng and his companion's turn, the host smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, Ms. Han, this is your bill, totaling 2.53 million spirit stones. Please check your goods. If there are no problems, please pay the spirit stones."
Han Xuanxuan pursed her lips and said, "Someone will pay for us."
The host's face turned cold, but he still politely asked, "Lingbao Pavilion's rule is that money is exchanged for goods. May I ask who will be making the payment for you?"
Han Xuanxuan remained silent, raising her head to look at Shi Hongyi not far away, without uttering a single word.
"Shi Hongyi, this is your last chance. If you know what's good for you, come and settle the bill right now, and I might consider forgiving you this time!"
These are her true feelings.
Shi Hongyi glanced at Han Xuanxuan and Qin Feng, then walked onto the stage.
"Hmph, as expected, I knew you couldn't hold on."
"Shi Hongyi, I'm going to use your money, and then I'll crush you and the Shi family under my feet, hahaha."
Han Xuanxuan and Qin Feng looked at Shi Hongyi with disdain, feeling that all of this was perfectly natural.
