Jin Shangyue nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, especially that malicious and murderous look in her eyes, which made the corners of her lips curl into a sinister smile.
"Everyone's here. Those who aren't involved should leave, or you can stay and continue competing with the powerful figures here for a mini-auction?"
The faces of some of the nobles and elders who had come with their emperor and their patriarch immediately darkened.
Feeling humiliated, she glared at Jin Shangyue, her face flushed with anger.
Qi Guanjue's father was the first to make trouble.
"What does Miss Jin mean? Is she looking down on us top-tier noble families, or on the elders of the various families and sects present here?"
As soon as Qi Guan Weihao opened his mouth, he wanted to dig a pit for Jin Shangyue and stir up hatred.
His own son had his eyes gouged out by the Crown Prince of the Dragon Martial Empire. Whether it was because he couldn't afford to offend Ji Chaoyun's identity, or because this was the territory of the Biotechnology Association and he couldn't cause trouble for the time being.
None of this prevented Qi Guan Weihao from taking his anger out on Jin Shangyue, the vixen who was the culprit.
Before Jin Shangyue could speak, Ji Chaoyun let out a disdainful sneer.
"I only look down on you, but you look down on everyone. Do you think everyone is a fool?"
The expressions of the powerful figures and elders from various sects and families present changed slightly, and they all glanced at Qi Guan Weihao with a mixture of inscrutable and coldness.
You little brat, you actually want to use them as pawns? You've got some nerve!
Although everyone understood what was going on, since they were all going to be kicked out, it didn't stop them from taking their anger out on Qi Guan Weihao.
He just happened to walk right into the line of fire!
Feeling the disgruntled and angry gazes directed at him, Qi Guanwei felt a bitter taste in his mouth and quickly said...
"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I just felt wronged on behalf of everyone. Every one of us here holds power and a high position."
"Jin Shangyue kicked us out as soon as she opened her mouth. Not to mention that any one of us could be considered her father or grandfather, she showed no respect or manners whatsoever. She didn't even put people of status and position in her eyes. She was really arrogant and conceited."
Many people's lips twitched, and the elders of the Tantai family immediately spoke up.
“Miss Jin, our Tantai family absolutely has no such intention. As the eldest elder of the Tantai family, I also respect Miss Jin’s arrangements.”
“Our Tantai family’s ancestor is right here, so there’s nothing for us juniors to do. It’s enough that our ancestor is here to represent the Tantai family. I’ll be leaving now.”
The eldest elder of the Tantai family, Qi Xiao, thought that Qi Guan Weihao was mentally ill.
Jin Shangyue was the only one who could produce a semi-immortal-grade pill, which alarmed the family's ancestor, who came over in person.
Based on tonight's auction results, anyone with a brain should understand the importance of Jinshangyue to each family.
They were eager to befriend and curry favor with Jin Shangyue, hoping to recruit her as one of their own.
Even if we can't be on your side, we must never easily become enemies.
Moreover, Jin Shangyue had also saved the young master of the Tantai family.
Qi Guan Weihao, on the other hand, offended someone the moment he opened his mouth. This is practically cutting off his own escape route and trying to ruin Qi Guan's future!
Elders from other clans and families, as well as elders from the royal family who accompanied His Majesty, and nobles, also spoke up.
“Miss Jin is right. This matter can be discussed with our Emperor/Ancestor/Patriarch. We will not take up any more of Miss Jin’s time here and will leave now.”
With that, everyone got up and left.
Qi Guanwei felt a tightness in his chest and was so angry that he gasped for breath.
These people are traitors and have disgraced those in power!
Seeing Qi Guanwei's face turn from embarrassment to flushed red, Jin Shangyue smiled maliciously, glanced at the Emperor of the Holy Yuan Empire beside her, and suddenly realized.
"So, in the Holy Yuan Empire, the Qi family is even more powerful than the royal family, and the young master of the Qi family has more authority than His Majesty!"
Even the most arrogant Qi Guanwei panicked upon hearing this and immediately retorted loudly.
"What nonsense are you spouting! Don't you dare try to sow discord..."
"Shut up!"
His Majesty of the Holy Yuan Empire, Long Tengxiang, with his sharp, eagle-like gaze, shot towards Qi Guanweihao, his expression both warning and dark.
Qi Guan Weihao was terrified by the gaze. Was His Majesty dissatisfied with him, or with the Qi Guan family?
Looking at Qi Guanwei's foolish and arrogant appearance, Long Tengxiangjin felt a flash of disgust in his eyes and looked away.
It seemed that even glancing at it was an eyesore.
His voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth: "Get out."
Qi Guanwei glared at Jin Shangyue, but dared not speak his anger. He didn't even dare to look at Ji Chaoyun, and slunk away.
After all the extra people left, leaving only one representative from each family in the room,
Chen Si, the dean of the First Academy, asked Jin Shangyue with a smile.
"Miss Jin, can we now discuss the annual purchase quota for semi-immortal-grade pills?"
Jin Shangyue raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly: "Of course."
"You've all come here because of the annual purchase quota for semi-immortal-grade pills?"
One by one, the ancestors and powerful figures in power either nodded or remained silent to indicate their acquiescence.
Only the man sitting outside the crowd, radiating a chilling aura, beautiful as ice and snow, otherworldly and seemingly living in a different realm, spoke.
"I want you to refine a pill specifically for me. Name your price."
Jin Shangyue's gaze fell on the man's face, which was as cold and pale as frost and snow, and as perfectly sculpted as if carved from ice.
He felt a pang of gratitude for the Creator's favoritism towards him.
His sharp, heroic spirit and deep, perfect features, every line of which exudes a cold, hard texture, yet it doesn't appear rough, but rather a profound and exquisite beauty that is just right.
Her facial features are exquisitely crafted, leaving people in awe and amazement.
Ironically, this kind of strong, cold, and heroic appearance, with a strong presence, also possesses a frosty, chilling, and pure temperament.
Transcending worldly concerns, devoid of emotion and desire, keeping all living beings at arm's length.
This contrast between appearance and temperament creates a unique and complex attraction.
The more you look at it, the more fascinated you become, unable to extricate yourself, and deeply attracted.
But who is Jinshangyue?
Through countless ages and across the three realms and six paths, what kind of beauty haven't I seen?
So after simply appreciating the unique beauty, he calmly spoke.
"Alright, please wait a moment, Ancestor of the Longevity Empire. I will speak with you privately later."
That's right, this person is the ancestor of the Longevity Empire, Yu Jiuming.
Upon hearing this, a unique emotion flickered in everyone's eyes.
I also had some other ideas.
However, the most important thing right now is the quota for purchasing semi-immortal-grade pills.
Jin Shangyue didn't delay any longer and said directly, "You all represent the most powerful forces in the world and are maintaining the peace of Shenyuan Star."
