Everyone spoke up in turn, trying to raise the stakes.
This immediately infuriated those who had originally stood on Song Qingyun's side. Their faces gradually darkened, and some could not help but sneer. "Everyone, helping Senior Brother Song break into the top hundred and become a Seed Core Disciple isn't merely helping Senior Brother Song.
"It will benefit all of us as well.
"Once Senior Brother Song becomes a Seed Core Disciple, we can ride his coattails. With Senior Brother Song looking after us in the future, we will gain even more cultivation resources..."
"That's right. You should look further ahead. How can you fix your eyes on such petty gains right before you?"
"We are all members of Thousand Mountain Academy and ought to stand united. Senior Brother Song is Thousand Mountain Academy's chief disciple and has always taken good care of us. If we do not contribute at a time like this, then when will we? And you still have the nerve to raise the price."
Their faces darkened as they glared at those raising the price and berated them coldly, showing them no courtesy at all.
They might have enjoyed saying all that, but it only made the faces of those demanding more turn increasingly ugly, anger surging within them.
Yet some did not become angry. They merely looked at those people as though they were fools, sneering inwardly.
A bunch of idiots. Did water get into their brains? Defending Song Qingyun like this—have they really taken Song Qingyun for their father? Do they truly think Song Qingyun will look after them after becoming a Seed Core Disciple? Do they really think he is so magnanimous? Hmph... They'll still be counting money for someone after being sold off by them.
They sneered inwardly but said nothing
