They spent over 100,000 more high-grade spirit stones than others, even though it was the same Crimson Flame Fruit.
That's not how you get sucked out!
Yun Qin glanced at Rong Zi in the next private room, her brows furrowed.
If she hadn't insisted on competing with them and raising the price, they wouldn't have spent so many spirit stones.
Moreover, she didn't seem surprised at all when the second Crimson Flame Fruit appeared.
Could it be that... she knew from the beginning that there would be another Crimson Flame Fruit to be auctioned off? Moreover, she didn't actually intend to bid for the Crimson Flame Fruit just now, but deliberately competed with them to provoke them into wasting money.
But how could that be?
The items auctioned at Yuntian Auction House are kept confidential.
How did she find out?
Both Crimson Flame Fruits were sold out. The cultivator who didn't manage to get one said regretfully, "If only there were one more. I have a fire spirit root, and my cultivation is currently at a bottleneck."
"What are you thinking? Crimson Flame Fruits are extremely rare, and with a level four demonic beast, the Crimson Wind Fire Rhinoceros, guarding it, seeing two at once is already remarkable. Where are you going to get another one for you?"
"Sigh, you're right..."
Rong Zi glanced at the unpleasant expressions on Yun Qin and Qin Ziteng's faces in the next private room, then leaned on the windowsill and called out to the people downstairs, "Fellow Daoists, is there anyone else who wants the Crimson Flame Fruit?"
Everyone in the auction house looked at her with suspicion.
Someone countered, "So what if you want it? Do you even have it?"
The beautiful auctioneer on the auction stage was already having the third item brought up for bidding. "The third item for tonight is..."
"Wait a moment, beautiful lady," Rong Zi suddenly interrupted her.
Seeing Rong Zi's sweet talk, the auctioneer wasn't angry. Instead, he looked up at her, smiled, and asked, "What can I do for you, esteemed guest?"
"Could we add another item to the auction? I see that many fellow cultivators here are also interested in the Crimson Flame Fruit, and I happen to have one left." Rong Zi said, slowly taking out a plump, red Crimson Flame Fruit under everyone's shocked gaze.
In an instant, the entire auction hall fell silent.
Three seconds later, an uproar erupted.
"Holy crap, Rong Zi actually has a Crimson Flame Fruit? What's going on?"
"Wasn't it snatched from Yun Qin?"
"But according to the descriptions of the people in the Monster Forest at that time, Yun Qin was only robbed of one Crimson Flame Fruit, and Rong Zi ate that Crimson Flame Fruit on the spot, and even returned the fruit pit to Yun Qin."
"Then where did Rong Zi get this one from?"
"I want to know too!"
Amid the commotion, someone murmured in confusion, "I don't know if I misheard, but I think I heard Rong Zi say 'also,' which makes it sound like she has more than one Crimson Flame Fruit..."
The beautiful auctioneer was also somewhat surprised and replied, "There's no precedent for this in the auction house before. Let me send someone to inquire, and I'll give you an answer later, okay?"
Rong Zi nodded with a smile, "No problem, thank you, beautiful sister."
Qin Ziteng, sitting next door, was staring intently at the Crimson Flame Fruit in Rong Zi's hand.
If he still doesn't realize at this moment that Rong Zi was deliberately provoking him, then he's a fool!
He gritted his teeth and pointed at Rong Zi, "You clearly had the Crimson Flame Fruit, yet you deliberately competed with us, driving up the price of that Crimson Flame Fruit to such an exorbitant level, making us spend so many extra spirit stones?!"
Rong Zi tossed the Crimson Flame Fruit in his hand. "Who said that someone who has a Crimson Flame Fruit can't bid?"
Qin Ziteng: "You..."
There is indeed no such rule at the auction house.
But they both knew perfectly well that she had done it on purpose, so how could he swallow this insult?
"Rong Zi, is there any point in what you're doing?"
Yun Qin questioned in a deep voice, "Back when we were both in the Qin family, even though you were an idiot, I never did anything to hurt you. But now you're targeting me like this. First, you stole my Crimson Flame Fruit in the Demon Beast Forest, and now you're deliberately making us spend so many more spirit stones. Aren't you going a bit too far?"
"Is it because we accompanied Miss Qin to the Yao Huo Sect's disciple selection competition that I, with my superior fire spirit root, became a direct disciple of the Yao Huo Sect, while you, with your mixed spirit root, didn't even step into the sect's gates? Is that why you feel resentful and jealous of me?"
Yun Qin's words shocked everyone present.
It turns out that Rong Zi and she knew each other. They were both from the Qin family, one of the seven great cultivation families, and had even participated in the Yao Huo Sect's disciple selection competition together.
And what did Yun Qin say?
A mentally challenged child?
Rong Zi not only has mixed spiritual roots, but he was also a mentally challenged child before?!
"I'm jealous of you?" Rong Zi scoffed. "You really know how to flatter yourself. And how dare you mention Qin Lan'er? Don't you know how she died?"
Yun Qin was shocked. "What do you mean?"
She did Qin Lan'er's thing without leaving a trace.
To clear herself of suspicion, she even resorted to self-inflicted injury.
There should be no one else who knows about this except her.
Why would Ke Rongzi say that?
Rong Zi took in her reaction, then gave her a mysterious smile and asked, "Guess?"
What has been a secret for a long time may no longer be a secret.
It'll scare her to death!
While Yun Qin was still in a daze, Rong Zi continued, "Also, in the Monster Forest, we both know perfectly well who stole whose Crimson Flame Fruit."
