In truth, Lin Jing's all-or-nothing bid had scared off most of the competition.
For a long while, the enormous crystal hall fell silent. No one else placed a bid.
"Hehe, see how clever I am?"
The white-clad girl sat in her seat, looking smug as she bragged to her companions.
"Didn't your family prepare the materials for you?"
Jiu You couldn't help asking. That didn't make sense.
With the Ancient Clan's powerful background, they would have prepared resources for their younger generation to break through to the Sovereign level well in advance, not to mention the various precious materials needed to refine a Supreme Dharma Body.
"If my father and the others prepared everything for me, what fun would that be?"
"I want to explore the Great Thousand World on my own and gather the materials. That sounds like so much fun."
Lin Jing gave her long, slender legs a little wiggle and answered with complete seriousness.
Jiu You: "..."
Such a mundane answer. Why was this person so annoying, just like Mu Chen!
His Highness the Heir nodded in deep understanding.
Another prodigy who'd failed to make it on her own and would have to go home and inherit a fortune worth billions. It seemed they shared the same troubles. What was one to do when one was too outstanding?
"Three thousand two hundred!"
Suddenly, a discordant voice cut into their conversation.
"Who was that?"
The Martial Border Little Princess looked a little annoyed. The duck was cooked, and someone had snatched it away.
In a nearby VIP seat, a refined-looking man in white smiled and waved to her, wearing an unmistakably smug expression.
The young hall master of Xuantian Hall, Liu Ming!
Hmph, that lecher again.
A trace of disgust crossed Lin Jing's lovely face. What a scoundrel.
