Everyone: "???"
Tianning: "!"
I never expected there would be such discerning people in the Western continent!
Tianning was extremely gratified!
All eyes were on the fool who had bid ten million top-grade spirit stones, and they noticed that the people in the private room were dressed in the clothing of the Gongsun and Yao families, two of the ten most prominent families in the Western Continent.
The girl who spoke was sitting in the corner of the private room, and the outer robe she wore was embroidered with the clan emblem of the Gongsun family.
Perhaps the independent cultivators are unaware, but all the major forces in the Western Continent are aware of the recent events that have occurred in these two families, and they are deeply surprised by this. Has Gongsun Yi gone mad? She actually used ten million top-grade spirit stones to buy a few useless tattered books!
"Xiao Yi! How can you squander the inheritance your aunt left you like this!" Upon seeing this, the young man from the Yao family hurriedly spoke up.
Gongsun Yi scoffed and said coldly, "You know that's your aunt. You're not her son. When did it become your place to interrupt?"
"You! Xiaoyi, how did you become like this..."
Before the young man from the Yao family could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man beside him: "Yi'er, you must not act rashly. The ten million top-grade spirit stones your mother left you can guarantee you a worry-free life. Doing this will only break her heart!"
The old man, seemingly concerned for the younger generation, continued, "Instead of buying these useless books, it would be better to buy more magical artifacts at the auction."
Tian Ning, who was innocently caught in the crossfire: "..."
"No worries in this life?" Gongsun Yi laughed as if she had heard a joke: "Do you really think I'm a fool? Rather than holding onto these ten million top-grade spirit stones and waiting for you to rob them, I'd rather no one get any benefit!"
"You child, I know you are overly defensive after losing your mother and feel that everyone wants to harm you. The Gongsun family understands you and will not blame you, but your behavior today was really inappropriate!"
The old man turned to the steward, who hadn't left since the incident, and said sincerely, "I'm so sorry, my Yi'er disrupted the auction. What she said earlier doesn't count. Please let the auction continue."
Gongsun Yi was utterly speechless: "What nonsense are you spouting? The spirit stone is in my hands; I can bid on it whenever I want. It's not your place to decide!"
In response, the manager smiled and said, "Since Miss Gongsun has made the bid, it is a deal. Otherwise, anyone could bid and back out at any future auction."
That's ten million top-grade spirit stones!
With a 10% commission, the auction house can earn a million top-grade spirit stones. Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of such a bargain!
The old man's face changed upon hearing the steward's words. He angrily said to Gongsun Yi, "You're simply being ridiculous!"
After that remark, everyone else in the private room, whether from the Gongsun family or the Yao family, began to criticize Gongsun Yi.
"Enough! You bunch of useless good-for-nothings just want to use my spirit stones to save that bastard, don't you?" Faced with the accusation, Gongsun Yi showed no mercy, saying, "You bunch of cowards, if you're so capable, use your own spirit stones to save him!"
"Listen, I, Gongsun Yi, would rather buy those few lousy books than buy that bastard's!"
Tianning: "..."
It has to be said that the Western Continent is quite lively. Not only are the Four Holy Temples in disarray, but the Ten Great Families are also in great turmoil.
Tianning overheard the surrounding cultivators saying that Gongsun Yi had become paranoid because of her mother's death, believing that both the Gongsun and Yao families wanted to kill her and seize her mother's inheritance, and that no matter how the two families explained, it was no use.
Now he's gone completely insane, actually doing something like this!
I wonder who was so lucky? Earning ten million high-grade spirit stones with just a few useless books!
Tianning: "..."
