When she heard the voice, Zi Yue instinctively raised her eyebrows.

Feng Dan was a little hot-tempered, and couldn’t help but spit out in anger, “Did I hear that correctly? Someone actually dares to raise the price?”

“Does this person think nothing of our Golden Door Sect and your Mayor’s Mansion?”

Zi Yue briefly glanced at her and calmly replied, “Let me remind you, this private room is exclusive to Golden Door Sect. No one else can enter. So everyone will assume that the only one bidding in this room is Golden Door Sect.”

“If anything, it is your Golden Door Sect that they don’t think much of. Nothing to do with our Mayor’s Mansion.”

Feng Dan’s jaw dropped as she looked at Zi Yue in disbelief, “Yue’er, no wonder I felt that something was wrong. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would still be thinking.

“You’ve been bidding in this room, but the one footing the bill is actually me!”

Zi Yue chuckled. Feng Dan had only just come to her senses. If she had not reminded her, Feng Dan would be none the wiser even if Zi Yue had sold her away!

“Well done, Yue’er. You tricked me? I must teach you a lesson today!”

Feng Dan pouted and pretended to look fierce. She was about to make her move and ‘teach’ Zi Yue a lesson.

Zi Yue immediately distanced herself from Feng Dan and hurriedly said, “All right, we’re in the midst of bidding now. You better not mess around.”

“Now you want to beg for mercy? Too late. Today, I must…” Feng Dan was still not willing to let Zi Yue off. She was about to grab Zi Yue’s tiny waist when suddenly, she heard Fei Cai’s voice come from the auction stage.

“The guest in Room 2 has raised the price, six low grade spirit stones! Does any other guest wish to raise the price further?”

Room 2?!

On hearing this, Zi Yue and Feng Dan froze.

Those able to enter the private rooms of the Hundred Treasures House had always been wealthy or noble. There were even a few special private rooms reserved for the major forces in Fusheng City.

Room 1 was reserved for Mayor’s Mansion, while Room 2 was reserved for Blood Fang Gang.

As for the private room that Zi Yue and Feng Dan were in, it was Room 3 reserved for Golden Door Sect.

“Blood Fang Gang. It was that brood of disgusting fellows!” Feng Dan said with disdain, her eyes not concealing her hatred.

Zi Yue also had a dark expression as she said in an even tone, “I didn’t expect Blood Fang Gang to also fancy this item.”

“Hmph!” Feng Dan snorted, scrunched up her nose and said with disdain, “So what if they take a fancy to it? I have long wanted to teach those disgusting fellows of Blood Fang Gang a lesson. Today, no matter what Blood Fang Gang takes a liking to, I’ll pay a higher price to take it!”

“I want to make Blood Fang Gang return in utter defeat this time!”

“Dan’er, maybe you should first…” Zi Yue was about to persuade Feng Dan to calm down a little, but before she could finish, Feng Dan had already made her bid.

“Seven low grade spirit stones!”

Fei Cai was stunned for a moment, then immediately and correctly discerned where the voice had come from. She quickly shouted, “Room 3 has bid seven low grade spirit stones!”

Oh ho!

Instantly, a clamor arose from the hall on the first floor.

‘These were all regulars at the Hundred Treasures House who naturally understood the rules of the place.

Room 2, Blood Fang Gang.

Room 3, Golden Door Sect.

They were indisputably the top two forces of Fusheng City!

If there was any group in Fusheng City that could suppress them, it would be Mayor’s Mansion, which had been lying low for a long time.

This was a popular topic of discussion among many privately. Without the involvement of Mayor’s Mansion, who between Blood Fang Gang and Golden Door Sect would be superior!

It was just that the two factions had never been in major conflict, so that question remained unanswered.

But who would have thought that Blood Fang Gang and Golden Door Sect would actually be fighting over an auction item!

Could it be that they would be able to see a good fight between two major powers that day?

In Room 2.

Seeing everything that had happened in the venue, the corners of Xue Ying’s mouth curled up into a sneer.

Fang Shen frowned and thought hard for a long time. At the end, he could not hold back and asked, “Young Lord, didn’t you say earlier that something wasn’t quite right with this item? Why did you bid for it again?”

Xue Ying glanced at him indifferently and calmly replied, “There is something wrong with this item, and I am not thinking of winning the bid for it.”

“Then what you’re doing now i

the words had just left Fang Shen’s mouth when he suddenly realized.

Xue Ying was not bidding to compete, but to raise the price!

He had no intention of winning the item at all. It was just that he had heard Golden Door Sect making the first move in Room 3, and so he deliberately raised the price. He was simply a repulsive person!

Xue Ying disregarded his opinion, and suddenly declared, “Ten low grade spirit stones!”

Boom!

Those words felt like a huge rock smashing the surface of a calm lake.

The spectators in the hall burst into a frenzy of discussion.

“Blood Fang Gang is truly rich and overbearing. They actually forcefully increased the price of an item from an unknown source ten-fold!”

“In my opinion, Blood Fang Gang is trying to intimidate Golden Door Sect to make them retreat in fear!”

Even Fei Cai, who was on stage, was stunned. For a moment, she could not even react.

However, she quickly regained alertness and hastily shouted, “Room 2 bids ten low grade spirit stones!”

How could a bright person like her fail to see that Blood Fang Gang and Golden Door Sect were practically at war?

But she actually liked the current situation better. The fiercer they fought, the more Hundred Treasures House would earn. Why not?

She had originally forecast only three low grade spirit stones for the auction item. Unexpectedly, once Blood Fang Gang and Golden Door Sect started trading blows, they pushed past her anticipated price by three times!

“D*mn it!”

In the private room, Feng Dan gritted her teeth, her eyes spewing fire.

“Blood Fang Gang, do you think that I will admit defeat if you do this?”

“Ten low grade spirit stones is nothing!”

Zi Yue wanted to advise her to calm down first, but before she could say anything, she heard Feng Dan shout again.

“Ibid twelve low grade spirit stones!”

Instantly, another wave of exclamations rose in the auction venue.

“Interesting.”

In the private room, Xue Ying licked his lips, his eyes revealing the excitement of a wild beast looking at its prey.

‘When he saw this, Fang Shen’s heart suddenly thumped, and he had a bad feeling.

‘As expected, in the next moment, Xue Ying’s cold voice rang in his ears.

“Fifteen low grade spirit stones!”
