Chapter 124: Situation
Ye Jingyao was horrified!
Black clothes! Long sword! And they were seated in a private room on the third floor!
These are people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!
Ye Jingyao's face suddenly turned ugly. He couldn't help but clench his fists, and the back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat.
Ye Ning noticed Ye Jingyao's expression. She hesitated for a few seconds and asked softly, "Father, why don't you continue..."
"Shut up!" Ye Jingyao shouted angrily, which frightened Ye Ning so much that her face turned pale and she dared not utter another word.
Ye Jingyao picked up his teacup, took a sip to calm his nerves, took a deep breath, and then turned to look at Ye Ning: "That's a force we absolutely cannot provoke easily. As for the Purple Jade Pill... we might as well not have it!"
...
Night View Yao did not raise the price again.
Now, the final offer for this Purple Jade Pill is only ten million gold coins from the private room of the Myriad Swords Sect.
Just then, another bid came from a private room on the second floor: "Eleven million gold coins!"
There was a moment of silence before Wan Jianzong spoke again: "Twelve million gold coins."
Thirteen million gold coins!
"Fourteen million gold coins."
Even Zhu Ying on the auction stage couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "The bids from these two distinguished guests are about to reach the highest price of this auction!"
At this moment, a beautiful woman was sitting behind the gauze curtain in the private room on the second floor.
She appeared to be around thirty years old, dressed in a dark brocade robe with a blooming white lotus flower embroidered on each sleeve. Her long hair was styled into an exquisite bun, with a lotus-shaped jade hairpin securely inserted in it.
Her features were exquisite, with a red lotus pattern on her smooth, white forehead, red lips and white teeth, eyes that seemed to hold the morning stars, and an extremely aloof expression. She was a perfect blend of nobility and elegance.
A neatly dressed middle-aged man stood beside the woman, bowing respectfully to her: "Second Miss, the private room they quoted seems to be from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect..."
"Uncle Hai, you saw it too, the pattern on the Purple Jade Pill is a lotus flower." The woman looked down at a jade bracelet on her wrist.
The jade bracelet is made of white jade, with a few streaks of dark ink that are neither too light nor too dark, like fish swimming in a river, weaving through the white jade.
The woman's slender fingers gently caressed the jade bracelet, a faint sadness showing on her flawless face: "As long as this lotus-patterned elixir appears in the world, I will still believe... that my elder sister is still alive in this world."
"Therefore, no matter what power the other party comes from, whether it is the royal family or the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, as long as it is a pill refined by my eldest sister, I will personally bring it back to the Tang family!"
Uncle Hai nodded knowingly: "Second Miss, I understand."
Uncle Hai picked up the plaque, walked to the curtain, and continued bidding: "Fifteen million gold coins!"

The third floor, the private room of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
The young man dressed in black with a long sword at his waist glanced indifferently at another young man standing behind him: "Which faction is behind those private rooms on the second floor?"
"Replying to Senior Brother, it is the Tang family, one of the eight great families."
Mu Jingshen raised a brow: "The Tang family?"
The Eight Great Families refer to eight powerful families from the three countries of the Eastern Continent.
Among them, the royal families Huang, Ye, and Xin clans are distributed in Lingyun Kingdom.
The Nan Yan clan and the Tang clan are distributed in Xingluo Kingdom.
The Yun, Duanmu, and Qin clans are distributed in Wushuang Kingdom.
The Tang family, as he knew it, was named one of the eight great families, but it was the least famous of them all.
It is said that the Tang family is facing the same situation as the Su family in the past—being expelled from the family register.
