A burst of laughter erupted in the room, clearly indicating that Sun Ji had been tricked by guest number 333 once again.
Hearing their mocking laughter and pitying glances, Sun Ji felt a burning sensation on his face.
He was furious and glared at Zu'an: "You brat, you're playing me?"
Anger from Sun Ji: +444 +444 +444...
Faced with his questioning, Zu'an also stopped smiling: "I'm just messing with you, what can you do about it?"
Upon hearing these words, Sun Ji nearly fainted from anger. Had they switched scripts? He was usually the one saying these things to others, so why was he being said to by someone else today?
The fat Venerable in the center of the hall couldn't help but take another look at Zu'an, thinking to himself, "Where did this great god come from? He looks even more arrogant and domineering than Sun Ji."
The beautiful female host's eyes flickered as she looked at Zu An, showing increasing interest in this arrogant and domineering man.
Unlike Sun Ji, who relied on family influence, he demonstrated that he had made Sun Ji look foolish by relying on his own abilities.
At this moment, the fat Venerable stepped forward and coughed lightly: "Everyone, please maintain order in the venue!"
His voice, amplified by the fluctuations of his spiritual energy, caused a buzzing sound in the ears of everyone in the hall, who were horrified by the terrifying power of a ninth-grade cultivator.
Seeing the crowd's reaction, he nodded in satisfaction. Naturally, he didn't want the farce to repeat itself and affect the auction, so he gestured to the host to continue.
The beautiful host, regaining her composure, continued in her sweet voice, "750,000 taels once... 750,000 taels twice... 750,000 taels three times, sold! Congratulations, Young Master Sun!"
Sun Ji's eyelids twitched, but he could only swallow his anger and force a smile as he nodded to everyone: "It's worth it to buy a toy to play with for such a small amount of money."
Seeing his forced attempt to save face, everyone chuckled inwardly and didn't bother to expose him.
At this moment, Yang Long came to his side and said worriedly, "Young master, the money from Xiaoyao Tower is not so easy to owe. You will have to pay the bill later after you bid."
Sun Ji's heart was also bleeding: "It's alright, I brought enough money this time."
Sun Ji's anger level increased by 555+555+555...
“But spending so much money on this, I’m afraid the master will blame me when we get back.” Yang Long was also very frustrated. Although the other party spent the money, he would most likely have to bear the blame for failing to supervise properly.
Sun Ji squinted at Zu An's direction: "This guy was willing to pay 600,000 taels for this flying knife, which proves that he has more money than 600,000. We can make up for it by robbing him later."
Yang Long nodded. That was the only way. Besides, that guy was really annoying. Thinking about how he had just had to apologize to that person in such a humiliating way, he felt a surge of murderous intent.
Yang Long's anger level increased by 444...
The auction continued, featuring various weapons, rare treasures, and even slaves of the demon race.
Watching the people bidding against each other, Zu An frowned. He was really not used to this kind of thing, but back then the demon race was defeated, and now the wealthy families of the Great Zhou Dynasty all liked to keep a few demon slaves. It had become a trend, and he couldn't change anything by himself.
"If Kong Nanwu were here, she'd probably be ready to kill someone." Zu An sighed. He wasn't exactly overflowing with compassion, after all, if a human were captured by a demon, their fate would only be worse.
During this time, he was responsible for arguing with Sun Ji. Every time Sun Ji wanted to buy something, he would argue with him, which made Sun Ji hate him so much that he gritted his teeth, but he was helpless.
Unfortunately, Sun Ji had just suffered a major financial loss, so he didn't have many items he was interested in. After Zu An amassed a few more anger points, the other party stopped holding up their placards.
He deliberately showed interest in several items and made several bids, but unfortunately Sun Ji was already scared and dared not participate.
Left with no other option, he had to raise the price for others, which inadvertently earned him a large amount of anger points from the audience.
The others glared angrily at Zu'an. They had been enjoying watching him make Sun Ji suffer so much, but now it had happened to them.
This guy is such a troublemaker!
On the contrary, Sun Ji was all smiles at this moment, and he actually thought that Zu An looked handsome and refined. After all, he couldn't suffer alone.
Seeing the angry looks in everyone's eyes, Zuan didn't care. Anyway, he was wearing a mask, so they didn't know who he was. Gaining anger points was the real deal.
This whole operation earned me over 100,000 anger points. It's true that catching one person is far less efficient than catching a whole group.
Of course, he did this not simply to gain anger points, but for another purpose.
Sure enough, the beautiful host then announced that the new item to be auctioned was "The Fang of the Azure Wolf King".
"These ten are the sharpest canines of a fully grown Azure Wolf King. They can be used to make arrowheads that can break through a cultivator's energy shield. Of course, they can also be used in medicine... The starting bid is 50,000 taels, and each bid must be at least 1,000 taels." The beautiful host introduced casually.
This thing has limited uses. It has some medicinal value, but not much. Its main purpose is to make demon-slaying arrows, but those who practice archery are not the mainstream in this world, and the guests here are all rich and noble, so there is probably not much market for it.
As expected, only a handful of people made bids after she finished speaking.
At this moment, Zu An's lazy voice came again: "Fifty-five thousand taels."
There was a booklet in the private room, which contained detailed descriptions of all the auction items except for the final mysterious item; it was essentially a promotional brochure.
At first, Zaun didn't notice, but later he noticed that there were materials for Daji's breakthrough among the items in this auction, so he took notice.
