Emperor Xiao Gan of the Three Emperors Hall declared that he wanted the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, silencing the entire audience and silencing all who dared to disobey him.
He was very satisfied with the reaction at the scene, and the Eternal Snow Lotus would likely fall into his hands without any surprises.
Most people thought so, including Xiao Yong, Yue Shaolong, and even Mei'er, who was in charge of the auction.
A calm female voice broke the cold silence.
"Eleven million."
No one expected that someone would actually make a bid. Wouldn't that offend Xiao Gan?
The sudden sound attracted everyone's attention, and the voice was very familiar; everyone recognized it immediately.
"It's the person from room number two in the yellow section."
Everyone felt a bit confused, speechless at Qin Feng and his group, and also very curious.
Aren't you afraid of Xiao Gan seeking revenge?
Xiao Gan's true nature was clearly revealed in the scene before he entered the auction: arrogant, domineering, and disdainful of others; those who offended him never fared well.
While auctions protect guests' privacy, this isn't always the case.
The crowd began to discuss amongst themselves, and the meeting room became noisy.
"I don't know what to say. She offended Xiao Yong of the Xiao Ao Gang before, and then she thwarted Yue Shaolong of the Liuli Sect. Now she's going against Emperor Xiao's wishes. Does she really have a death wish?"
"On the contrary, I am very curious about her identity. Who on earth is she to dare to be so audacious?"
"Maybe they have real skills, or they might be someone with great influence."
"Forget it. They say even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. This is the Three Emperors Palace's trump card. I think the person here is in grave danger."
“I agree. Beixuan City is located at the intersection of the Taixu Immortal Dynasty and the Shengxue Immortal Dynasty. It is a border area where no Immortal Emperors appear. Immortal Kings are top-tier combat power. The Three Emperors Palace has three Immortal Kings, which is absolutely formidable.”
Mei'er stared blankly in the direction of room number two in the yellow building, her gaze seemingly able to penetrate the array, trying to see the identity of the person inside, whether it was ignorance or fearlessness.
Yue Shaolong has truly had his eyes opened today. Before he left home, his father specifically instructed him not to provoke the people of the Three Emperors Palace, and now someone has actually done just that.
Xiao Yong sneered, "They really don't know what's good for them, daring to defy Emperor Xiao in public. It's just a pity about that Purple Cloud Fruit."
Room number two in the yellow building became the focus of everyone's attention, and no one had high hopes for Yin Tiantian and her group.
This outcome was unexpected for Xiao Gan.
This wasn't his first time attending an auction; every time he wanted something, everyone would give in to him.
Even some old guys wouldn't dare to offend him easily. In Beixuan City, where there is no Immortal Emperor, Xiao Gan has that right.
Besides his own strength, he also has the powerful organization of the Three Emperors Palace.
Xiao Gan had a long-lost feeling; someone was actually trying to take something from him today.
His voice was loud and clear as he said with great interest, "Little girl, you have guts."
Yin Tiantian ignored him and reminded Mei'er, "Fairy Mei'er, no one has raised the price for so long after the bid was placed, it's time to start the countdown."
Everyone's heads were buzzing.
"This fairy is so fierce, she doesn't take Emperor Xiao seriously at all."
"I'm really impressed. With disaster looming, she's still concerned about this."
"Information asymmetry can be deadly. This is a case of ignorance is bliss. Even if we manage to buy this ancient snow lotus, will she even live to use it?"
Seeing Yin Tiantian's attitude towards Emperor Xiao, Yue Shaolong felt much better.
Xiao Yong sneered repeatedly.
Mei'er was also at a loss with Yin Tiantian. She had hosted auctions for so long and had had many conflicts and arguments, but this was the first time she had seen someone so calm in front of Xiao Gan.
This relaxed and calm tone showed that he didn't take Xiao Gan seriously at all; it's a mystery where this person got the courage.
But what they said was right; she had indeed failed in her duty. She composed herself and began to count down, "Ten million, one hundred, the first time."
Everyone was curious about Xiao Gan's reaction. He would definitely be furious, wouldn't he? Would he take action right here and now?
Xiao Gan did not fly into a rage, nor did he make a move; he simply said calmly:
"Interesting. It's been a long time since anyone dared to act like this in front of me. Little girl, what kind of power do you belong to?"
The crowd sensed a strong threat in those words; it seemed they were being threatened with annihilation.
Yin Tiantian pretended not to hear. With Qin Feng around, she wasn't afraid at all. She ignored Xiao Gan's sarcastic remarks and continued to remind Mei'er.
"It's time for a second time."
Everyone was suspicious. How could you be so confident and fearless?
Mei'er was speechless. You're teaching me how to do things.
She was also curious about how things would develop. "Eleven million for the second time. If you don't bid next time, Emperor Xiao, the deal will be done."
Xiao Gan was ignored by Yin Tiantian time and time again in front of everyone. Even the most good-tempered person would lose patience, let alone someone with a short temper like him.
His anger was churning, and now, with Mei'er's deliberate reminder, he felt even more humiliated, so angry that his chest felt like it was going to explode.
The aloof and superior image he wanted to cultivate collapsed instantly, and he was furious. "Fine, very good, excellent, twelve million."
Xiao Gan said "good" three times in a row, and everyone could clearly feel his anger, like a volcano about to erupt, which was very dangerous.
Yin Tiantian seemed not to have noticed, "Thirteen million."
Xiao Gan gritted his teeth, "Twenty million."
Yin Tiantian calmly replied, "Twenty-one million."
Xiao Gan was furious. "Do you really want to die?"
He walked out of the room, his eyes bloodshot, staring fiercely in the direction of Prince's Room Number Two, looking as if he might rush over at the slightest provocation.
Everyone suddenly became excited. Were they going to fight here? Would the Wing Hang Chamber of Commerce intervene? Just thinking about it was thrilling.
Mei'er was startled and quickly reminded him, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is the auction house of the Yongheng Chamber of Commerce. Please don't make things difficult for us."
Xiao Gan took several deep breaths to calm himself down. He knew about the background of the Yongheng Chamber of Commerce, and it was best not to offend them unless necessary.
Those who offended him could be dealt with simply by leaving the auction house.
Yin Tiantian ignored his anger and said, "Fairy Mei'er, it's time to make the announcement."
Everyone's lips twitched. Didn't you see that Emperor Xiao was almost fuming with anger? And you're still provoking him.
Mei'er reminded Xiao Gan, "Emperor Xiao, are you going to raise the price again? Otherwise, this ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus will belong to the fellow Daoist in room number two of the Yellow Class."
Xiao Gan stared intently at the room where Yin Tiantian was. He really wanted to rush over right now and see who was inside, so audacious as to be so bold.
Hearing Mei'er's reminder again, he suddenly calmed down.
"Alright, since you like it, then you can have it."
After Xiao Gan finished speaking, he turned and left. As he was about to leave the auction house, he gave Yin Tiantian a sinister and eerie smile that sent chills down everyone's spine.
Everyone knew what that smile meant: Xiao Gan was gone, but this matter was far from over.
Mei'er finally announced, "Sold for 21 million. Congratulations to fellow Daoist Huang Zi No. 2 for winning the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus."
