The silence from Ximen Wu's room was like a pair of giant hands slapping fiercely on Zhou Junyi's face, causing his entire body to tremble. His eyes were full of murderous intent as he glared at Ximen Wu's room as if he couldn't wait to eat Ximen Wu alive.
The crowd in the hall had also gone completely quiet. It wasn't that they didn't want to speak, but rather not dared to do it.
In Zhou Ling'er's room, Chu Tong'er covered her mouth, looking at Ximen Wu's room in disbelief. She didn't expect this second young master of the Ximen Clan to be this daring. He actually deceived the third prince!
Zhou Ling'er was also surprised about it. However, she knew Ximen Wu's nature well. It was impossible for him to do this. Unless there was someone behind him.
A strange light flashed through her eyes as she seemed to think of Yun Lintian.
Meanwhile, Bai Chun frowned slightly. "This is not good. It will make it worse."
Zhou Ling'er was relatively calm in this regard. "He has held back for all these years in order to serve a fatal blow to me and Big Brother Crown Prince. He has to choose whether to spend his accumulated resources now."
Bai Chun looked at Zhou Ling'er in surprise, as she rarely saw this side of the Second Princess.
"What, Aunty Bai? Don't tell me you also think I am a lamb like others did?" Zhou Ling'er glanced at Bai Chun. Her eyes revealed an absolute calmness that didn't belong to a young woman at her age.
Bai Chun took a deep breath and said. "It seems I am too old."
While the two were talking, Qin Mei looked at Ximen Wu's room and said. "Twelve billion first time."
Ximen Wu still remained silent.
"Twelve billion second time."
Zhou Junyi gritted his teeth with deep hatred and was about to shout out, venting his anger. However, the middle-aged man behind him suddenly channeled his divine energy to seal Zhou Junyi's mouth.
"Please forgive me, master. Offending the Mystic Auction House further will give us no good." The middle-aged man said calmly.
Zhou Junyi glared at him fiercely but eventually calmed down in the end.
At this moment, Qin Mei smiled brightly and said. "Congratulations to the guest in room number one for winning the most precious treasure today. We will send our people to collect the money and delivery the good. Please prepare it in advance."
She looked at the crowd and said loudly. "Thank you, everyone, for joining our great event today. Although I wished there would be more treasures for auction today, it couldn't be helped that all of them were far inferior to the Soul Rejuvenating Pill. We didn't want to diminish its aura."
"However, I promise you that we will try our best to find a treasure of this caliber again in the near future. Please stay tuned."
As she finished her sentence, Qin Mei turned around and walked down the stage gratefully.
The audience glanced at each other, and no one wanted to leave. It was because they knew there would be a good show later. They didn't want to miss it.
Inside Ximen Wu's room, Ximen Wu clenched his fists tightly with an excited expression. He had always been suppressed by Zhou Junyi for many years and could finally vent his anger.
"Feel good?" Yun Lintian asked with a smile.
"Yes! I didn't know before it would feel this great. Even a pleasure brought by a woman couldn't give me this.": Ximen Wu said excitingly.
Seeing this, Mu Qing couldn't help reminding. "We should think about how to return to the manor safely."
The excitement on Ximen Wu's abruptly died down and was replaced with endless worries.
Zhou Junyi naturally didn't dare to attack him here, but what about outside? He was the third prince, a half-owner of this city. Those guards would certainly listen to him more than Ximen Wu. Once a battle broke out, they were likely to turn a blind eye to it.
"You don't have to worry about this," Yun Lintian said calmly.
He took out a wooden box that contained the Soul Rejuvenating Pill and handed it to Ximen Wu. "Brother Ximen should go to Second Princess's side first and wait for me there."
"This…" Ximen Wu was taken aback. He didn't understand why Yun Lintian had to go through a lot of hurdles and ended up giving him the pill directly like this.
Yun Lintian stuffed the box into Ximen Wu's hand and said. "Go."
After speaking, he got up and brought Ning Yue out of the room.
"It was you, right?" When Yun Lintian and Ning Yue were about to head down the stair, Zhou Junyi's voice suddenly resounded from behind.
Yun Lintian turned around and said with a smile. "I don't know what you're talking about, Third Prince."
Zhou Junyi stared at Yun Lintian coldly. His entire body was brimming with killing intent, but he didn't dare to make a move here. "Don't pretend to be a fool. A coward like Ximen Wu won't dare to go against me. It must be you who instigated him."
Yun Lintian replied calmly. "I don't quite understand why you're so angry about this. At the end of the day, you have won the treasure, though it's a bit expensive."
He then looked at Zhou Junyi strangely as he continued. "Strange. Don't tell me Third Prince cannot afford twelve billion?"
"You!" Zhou Junyi was so angry that he lost control and launched an attack on Yun Lintian.
Suddenly, a terrifying sword energy rushed toward Yun Lintian. It was highly lethal and powerful.
As the third prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, his talent was naturally high, as he had already reached the peak of the Divine Origin Realm. Almost two realms higher than Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian had always put his guard up. He quickly channeled his divine energy to protect himself and Ning Yue.
However, Zhou Junyi didn't hold back at all. He had almost used all of his strength in this attack. It was impossible for Yun Lintian to defend it.
Just as the sword energy was about to hit Yun Lintian. A gentle yet powerful aura suddenly swept over and completely dispersed Zhou Junyi's attack.
"Dear esteemed guest, you have violated our rules again. I will have to punish you according to our rules." At this moment, Qin Mei gracefully walked over with a faint smile on her face…
