What Is True Magnanimity? This Is True Magnanimity!
The bidding for Cat Girl from the audience had already reached 170,000 Gold Soul Coin.
The one making the bid was a bloated, smug nobleman.
He had a gold chain around his neck and several gemstone rings on his fingers; his face was greasy and looked like a pig's head.
He had a lewd smile on his face.
His eyes were fixed on the Cat Girl in the cage, as if he were sizing up prey, and he was practically drooling.
The Cat Girl in the cage trembled even more violently when she saw this disgusting-looking creature offer 170,000.
Overwhelmed by boundless fear.
Cat Girl curled up into a ball, hugging her knees and burying her face in them.
It was as if I could already foresee the days of unbearable suffering that awaited me.
The moment that bloated nobleman shouted out 170,000 Gold Soul Coin...
No one in the audience raised the price further.
The auctioneer has raised the gavel, ready to bring it down.
A warm yet confident voice suddenly came from the VIP room on the second floor.
The sound carried clearly throughout the entire venue.
"180,000 Gold Soul Coin."
A single sentence was uttered.
This silenced the entire venue to the point of being so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone recognized the sound.
Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
No one in the entire Heaven Dou City dared not recognize him.
The largest Heaven Dou City is the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, followed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
However, it is obvious to everyone that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which has two Titled Douluo, is the most powerful of the three.
The audience fell silent.
Even the nobleman who had bid 170,000 reluctantly put down his bidding paddle.
Even if he liked the Cat Girl a lot, he didn't dare to bid again.
Let alone 180,000, even if there were 1.8 million, no one would dare to compete with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for anything.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is as wealthy as a country.
He was also surrounded by powerful individuals at the Titled Douluo level.
To try and steal from them is like courting death.
The auctioneer paused for a few seconds, then immediately realized what was happening and his face was plastered with a fawning smile.
She raised the auction gavel high and brought it down heavily.
His voice was filled with excitement. "180,000 Gold Soul Coin! Sold! Congratulations to Sect Master Ning for winning this special item!"
A round of applause erupted from the audience.
We must give Sect Master Ning face!
Many people were whispering among themselves, their voices filled with awe.
"As expected of Sect Master Ning, he's incredibly generous. 180,000 Gold Soul Coin, he didn't even blink an eye."
"That's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, this amount of money is nothing to them."
"I didn't expect Sect Master Ning to have such a taste, actually spending so much money to buy a Cat Girl."
There were also some unpleasant comments.
At the same time, Xiao Wu and the others beside Lin Qingmo all changed their expressions.
Xiao Wu is about to explode.
She gritted her teeth, her voice barely audible, yet filled with barely concealed anger and disgust.
"Who is this person? Spending so much money to buy a living person, and it turns out to be the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
"That's utterly depraved! Scumbag!"
"I just thought he must be a good person to become the sect leader of one of the Upper Three Sects, but I never expected him to be this kind of person!"
"Waaah..."
Ning Rongrong was already extremely uncomfortable.
I was both angry and embarrassed, and I wished I could disappear into the ground.
She stomped her foot hard on the ground, her mind a jumble of anger and anxiety.
What's wrong with Dad?!
How could he do such a thing?
Spend 180,000 Gold Soul Coin to buy a living girl.
If Xiao Wu and the others saw this, he would be utterly humiliated by his father!
She gritted her teeth and made a silent vow in her heart.
She'll definitely ask her father for clarification after the auction!
If he dares to do such a despicable thing, to treat this Cat Girl as a plaything, I will never forgive him!
Even if he's your father, it's still not okay!
Zhu Zhuqing frowned even more deeply.
Her gaze towards the VIP room on the second floor revealed mostly resistance and coldness.
The slight goodwill she had felt towards Ning Fengzhi just moments before vanished instantly.
No matter how high his status or how strong his power, in her eyes he's no different from those scumbags now.
Xiao Wu tugged at Ning Rongrong's arm, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "Ning Rongrong, is he... really your father's?"
"..."
Ning Rongrong was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground, her face turning bright red.
She nodded, then quickly shook her head, her voice trembling with tears.
"I... I don't know, Dad isn't usually like this, he would never do something like this..."
Seeing her helpless expression, Xiao Wu opened her mouth as if to say something, but didn't know how to start.
It's really hard to talk about the fact that your best friend's daughter's father is a scumbag and a pervert.
Lin Qingmo remained calm upon seeing this.
He had read the script.
Ning Fengzhi didn't do anything perverse and ultimately released the Cat Girl.
Ning Rongrong is here now, and he believes that Ning Fengzhi dotes on his daughter, should make the right decision.
at the same time.
The atmosphere in the VIP room on the second floor was quite relaxed, even with a touch of comedy.
Chen Xin held his wine glass, suppressing a laugh, his shoulders trembling.
His gaze toward Ning Fengzhi was full of mockery.
"Fengzhi, you've been called a pervert by your precious daughter's friend."
"A lifetime of illustrious reputation, ruined in an instant."
"Uncle Jian, please stop making fun of me."
Ning Fengzhi a helpless, bitter smile.
His eyes, however, were full of honesty and openness, without a trace of guilt.
The two of them heard Ning Rongrong and the others' conversation clearly.
"I'll explain to this girl later."
"A life can be saved; what's a little misunderstanding?"
"Besides, it's not a bad thing if this girl can understand what a real bottom line is."
Chen Xin smiled and shook his head, taking a sip of the wine in his cup.
"180,000 Gold Soul Coin can buy a decent Soul Bone."
"The Soul Bone has a price, but human life is priceless."
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been able to stand the test of time not only because of its wealth and strength, but also because of its bottom line."
"This practice of treating living people as commodities should be stopped."
"Now that I've seen it, there's no reason for me to ignore it."
Chen Xin smiled and nodded, saying nothing more.
Just take those polite words with a grain of salt.
If Ning Rongrong hadn't been there, he felt Ning Fengzhi wouldn't have wasted this money.
Just then...
What happened on the exhibition stand was something no one expected.
The staff did not push the iron cage containing the Cat Girl toward Ning Fengzhi.
Instead, he stepped forward, took out a key, and unlocked the iron cage on the spot.
He held a piece of parchment and a gold card with a gold rim in his hand.
He walked up to the Cat Girl and handed her the item.
"Girl, don't be afraid."
"Sect Master Ning told me to tell you that he took you down not to enslave you, but to give you your freedom."
Cat Girl stood frozen in place, staring wide-eyed at the staff member in front of her.
Her eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief, as if she hadn't understood what he said.
The staff member handed her the parchment and continued speaking gently.
"This is a valid identity document issued by the official authorities of Heaven Dou City."
"With this, you are a legal resident of Heaven Dou City, and no one will dare to sell you as a slave anymore."
"This card can be exchanged for a certain amount of Gold Soul Coin, enough for you to live a stable life in Heaven Dou City without having to wander anymore."
He handed the gold card to Cat Girl, smiling as he spoke.
"Girl, you're free now. You can go wherever you want; no one will stop you."
A single sentence was uttered.
The entire venue erupted in an uproar!
Everyone was stunned.
The expression on his face went from astonishment to shock, and then to disbelief.
No one expected that Ning Fengzhi spent 180,000 Gold Soul Coin to buy this Cat Girl not to keep her for himself.
It was all to give her freedom?!
180,000 Gold Soul Coin, just to save a Cat Girl he didn't know and had no background?
What kind of vision and scale is this?!
