A Sudden Jealousy, Fierce Bidding!

A Sudden Jealousy, Fierce Bidding!

Mittel Auction House.

This was the largest auction venue in Wutan City, affiliated with the Mite'er Family, one of the Jia Ma Empire's three great families.

The Jia Ma Empire's three great families were the Mite'er Family, the Nalan Family, and the Mu Family.

The three great families had footholds in every sphere of the Jia Ma Empire, including the military and commerce, making them deeply entrenched giants.

Among them, the Mite'er Family was the wealthiest, and they also had countless ties to the Jia Ma Empire's royal family.

Thus, with the Mite'er Family as their backing, no one dared set their sights on them even though the auction house's profits were terrifying.

"Welcome, Young Master Xiao Fan and Miss Xiao Xun'er!"

Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er were both well-known figures in Wutan City. The moment they reached the entrance of the Mittel Auction House, the guards hurriedly greeted them respectfully.

Xiao Fan gave the guard a slight nod before entering the auction hall side by side with Xiao Xun'er.

Led by a maid, Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er soon arrived at the VIP seats in the front row of the auction hall.

"Fan'er, Xun'er, you two came as well?" As soon as they followed the maid to the front row, they heard a familiar voice.

From the voice alone, Xiao Fan knew that the speaker was his father in this life, Xiao Zhan, the Xiao Clan Leader.

Xiao Xun'er naturally recognized Xiao Zhan as well.

"Father." "Uncle Xiao." The two greeted Xiao Zhan at the same time.

Then, Xiao Fan took Xiao Xun'er's hand and sat down beside Xiao Zhan.

"Hehe, this must be the Xiao Family's Third Young Master, my worthy nephew Xiao Fan. Quite a fine-looking young man indeed!" As soon as Xiao Fan sat down, a middle-aged man on Xiao Zhan's other side spoke with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

Xiao Zhan said to Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er, "This is Ao Ba Pa, the Ouba Family Patriarch."

Xiao Fan smiled faintly. "Thank you for the praise, Patriarch Ao Ba."

Ao Ba Pa smiled but said nothing further.

As time passed, more and more guests filled the auction hall.

Under the lights at the center of the hall, a beautiful woman in a red dress, with a graceful and alluring figure, slowly walked onto the stage.

If nothing unexpected happened, this woman had to be Ya Fei of the Mite'er Family. She truly was a bewitching beauty!

Xiao Fan gave the woman a once-over and could not help thinking to himself.

"Brother Xiao Fan, have you taken a liking to Miss Ya Fei?"

As Xiao Fan was observing Ya Fei, Xiao Xun'er's breathy voice suddenly drifted into his ear, carrying an obvious, heavy note of jealousy.

Xiao Fan withdrew his gaze at those words, lightly pinched Xiao Xun'er's nose, and smiled. "What? Is little Xun'er jealous?"

"Hmph, I would never be jealous." Xiao Xun'er gave a delicate snort, turned her head away, and stubbornly denied it.

Xiao Fan could not help chuckling at that.

At this moment, Ya Fei at the center of the auction hall had naturally noticed Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er as well.

When she saw Xiao Fan looking at her with clear eyes, without the infatuated look other men had, Ya Fei could not help developing a somewhat favorable impression of him.

Watching Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er fool around, Ya Fei shook her head with an amused smile.

Seeing that the time was about right, Ya Fei parted her red lips and spoke in a sweet, delicate voice that made people's bones go weak. "Welcome, honored guests, to this auction. I believe everyone already knows the rules, so I will not waste your precious time. The auction shall now officially begin."

Under Ya Fei's hosting, the atmosphere in the auction hall soon became heated.

Auction items were brought out one after another and fought over frantically.

However, Xiao Fan had yet to find anything that interested him, so he did not join the bidding.

Not far away, Xiao Zhan and Ao Ba Pa sat as steady as mountains in their chairs, showing no intention of participating in the bidding.

Suddenly, Xiao Fan noticed a figure completely shrouded in a black robe slowly entering from the back of the auction hall and finding a secluded seat.

Hmm?

Could it be him?

Compared to the original story, he seemed to have appeared much earlier.

Seeing Xiao Fan looking toward the back, Xiao Xun'er asked curiously, "Brother Xiao Fan, what is it?"

Xiao Fan shook his head slightly. "Nothing. I just seem to have seen an acquaintance, though perhaps I was mistaken."

Xiao Xun'er did not think much of it.

"Hehe, everyone, the auction house has just received a new item for auction. I believe you will all be interested in it."

Just as that figure took a seat in the corner of the hall, Ya Fei suddenly spoke with a smile from the center of the venue.

After saying that, Ya Fei waved her jade-like hand, and a maid came forward carrying a tray. On it sat a small white jade bottle.

Next, just as in the original story, Ya Fei introduced the second-grade medicinal pill contained in the white jade bottle: the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid.

After Ya Fei finished her introduction, fierce bidding quickly erupted in the auction hall.

In the end, only Xiao Zhan and Ao Ba Pa remained, competing against each other.

Before long, the price rose from the initial eight thousand Gold Coins to thirty-one thousand Gold Coins!

"Father, let Patriarch Ao Ba have it!"

Just as Xiao Zhan was about to raise his bid again, Xiao Fan suddenly spoke to stop him.

Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned. "You should understand why I want to buy this Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid."

Xiao Fan smiled faintly. "Father, of course I understand, but we no longer need it."

Xiao Zhan frowned slightly. "Are you sure?"

Xiao Fan nodded firmly. "I am absolutely sure."

After hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment before finally saying, "I withdraw. Congratulations, Patriarch Ao Ba."

Ao Ba Pa swept his gaze back and forth between Xiao Zhan and Xiao Fan with uncertainty, then smiled. "Thank you for yielding, Xiao Clan Leader."

Ya Fei, standing at the center of the hall, was also somewhat stunned by this scene. She subconsciously glanced at Xiao Fan several more times before confirming the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid's buyer.

In a corner of the hall, Xiao Yan, wrapped from head to toe in a black robe, immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

After confirming the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid's buyer, Ya Fei continued from the center of the hall, "Next is the finale item of this auction."

At that, Ya Fei paused slightly and took an ancient, azure scroll from the tray. She continued, "A high-grade Xuan-class cultivation technique: the Wind Scroll!"

The moment the high-grade Xuan-class cultivation technique was revealed, the auction hall fell silent.

Almost everyone was utterly shocked!

In this remote little city, a high-grade Xuan-class cultivation technique was already the pinnacle of cultivation techniques!

After the silence, everyone's eyes turned fiery as they looked at the ancient scroll.

Ya Fei was very satisfied with the crowd's reaction. However, when she saw that Xiao Fan and Xiao Xun'er remained unmoved, she could not help feeling surprised.

Suppressing her emotions for the moment, Ya Fei began introducing the cultivation technique known as the Wind Scroll.

"Miss Ya Fei, hurry up and name the starting price!"

After hearing Ya Fei's introduction, someone in the auction hall could not help urging her.

A charming smile remained on Ya Fei's beautiful face as she said, "The Wind Scroll has a starting price of two hundred thousand Gold Coins!"

Xiao Fan's brows twitched slightly at that.

In the original story, this cultivation technique had ultimately been bought by the Ga Lie Family.

What a pity. Had I known the auction would be held early, I would have waited before wiping out the Ga Lie Family. If they had bought this cultivation technique, couldn't I have simply taken it from them afterward?

While Xiao Fan's thoughts wandered, the atmosphere in the auction hall had already become incomparably heated!

The price of the Wind Scroll continued to rise!

After an intense round of bidding, fewer and fewer voices remained in the hall, until the bids became sparse.

"Three hundred thousand!" At this moment, Ao Ba Pa, the Ouba Family Patriarch seated in the first row, finally made his bid.

Upon hearing that price, the other bidders in the auction hall immediately gave up.

Just as Ao Ba Pa was beginning to look pleased with himself, Xiao Zhan followed with a bid. "I offer three hundred and fifty thousand!"

Ao Ba Pa glanced at Xiao Zhan and grinned. "Three hundred and seventy thousand!"

Xiao Zhan's expression remained calm. "Four hundred thousand!"

Ao Ba Pa frowned slightly upon hearing that price. "Four hundred and twenty thousand!"

"Four hundred and thirty thousand!"

Just as Xiao Zhan was about to continue bidding, Xiao Fan beside him suddenly spoke in a faint voice.

When Xiao Fan suddenly made a bid, Ao Ba Pa, Xiao Zhan, Ya Fei, and many of the guests in the auction hall abruptly turned their attention toward him.

Xiao Fan shrugged slightly. "Why is everyone looking at me? Am I not allowed to bid?"
