A Husband and Wife's Tacit Understanding

Long Xuan! You're so ruthless! Feng Si clenched her fists and glared venomously at the young man leisurely drinking tea in private room number five.

He was soaked in sweat, panting heavily, and struggling to breathe.

The thought of having to pay a mountain of Spirit Stone made him feel like he was going to faint.

"Some people heard 500 million, and some heard 600 million. Since there is a dispute, how about we start bidding again?" Feng Si had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to his subordinates.

"This is utter nonsense!" At this moment, a Spiritual Sea Stage Qian Clan Gu cultivator who was maintaining order at the scene roared, "It was clearly you who called out the price! I heard you clearly, are you saying that everyone in our Qian Clan Merchant Association of Commerce is deaf?"

At this moment Shao Shao, looking displeased, said, "Sir, it's been 510 million for quite a while now. You should pay your Spirit Stone by now! Don't delay everyone's departure."

She looked at Feng Si in room number ten with a grim expression. This man seemed to be trying to renege on his debt, and had even just said she was deaf. It was no wonder she was giving him a pleasant look.

With a pale face, Feng Si slowly looked at the other Feng Clan Gu cultivators in the room and pleaded, "Could you all lend me all the Spirit Stone Spirit Stone you have? Let's all chip in together. I swear, I will make up for it as quickly as possible. I, Feng Si, always keep my word."

However, all the Feng Clan Gu cultivators inside the room pretended to look elsewhere, acting as if they hadn't heard what he said.

"Are you kidding me? How could he possibly repay such a large sum of Spirit Stone? He simply couldn't afford it. Lending him Spirit Stone would be a complete waste. They're not stupid."

At this moment, everyone saw him as if he were a raging flood or a ferocious beast, and they all kept their distance, fearing he might be the worst.

Seeing this, Feng Si's heart sank, and despair filled his eyes. The world was cold and indifferent; if something really happened to him, none of his close friends would be reliable. He felt utterly heartbroken.

"No money! I have neither money nor your life! You decide what to do with me!"

Feng Si screamed in despair at the people below. He had given up all hope; he didn't have that many Spirit Stone anyway, so he didn't care what happened. In his despair, he had completely lost his mind.

The moment these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent. Everyone was stunned, their expressions becoming quite varied.

The group of the Qian Clan Gu cultivators below were furious. How dare someone cause trouble at their Qian Clan auction? It had been so many years since they had seen anyone dare to cause trouble at their Qian Clan Merchant Association.

All the Qian Clan family guards maintaining order at the scene clenched their fists, making cracking sounds, and glared menacingly at room number ten.

The other onlookers also stared wide-eyed at him; it was the first time they had ever seen anyone dare to act so arrogantly at Qian Clan Auction House. This man was certainly brave.

"Tsk tsk! Who on earth is so arrogant? This is the first time I've ever met someone so arrogant."

"He seems to be a talent from the Feng Clan. This person looks unfamiliar. When did the Feng Clan produce such an oddball? He bids and then doesn't want the money. Isn't that just playing with people?"

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect someone to actually dare to bid recklessly at an auction. This person clearly doesn't take the Qian Clan Merchant Association seriously."

The crowd buzzed with excitement. They hadn't expected such a dramatic turn of events to occur even after the auction had ended. Everyone was beaming with anticipation, their eyes wide with anticipation for the spectacle.

Shao Shao's face darkened completely, and she shouted angrily, "No money! If you have no money, why are you shouting prices like that! Are you crazy?!"

Qian Duoduo's face twisted in anger as he shouted, "Are you deliberately messing with us? You throw out prices randomly, then don't want the goods! Do you think this place is your home?!"

"Everyone, come upstairs with me. I want to see who has the audacity to cause trouble here!"

Qian Duoduo waved his hand and led a large group of the Qian Clan family guards upstairs in a menacing manner.

Feng Si's actions have crossed the bottom line of the Qian Clan Merchant Association. If this matter is not dealt with seriously, how can the Qian Clan Merchant Association maintain its foothold in the Western Land?

This is a matter of great importance concerning face, and even though the Feng Clan is one of the Western Land Ten Clans, they will not give them face.

"Bump!"

The door to VIP room number ten was kicked open, and Qian Duoduo, along with a group of the Qian Clan guards, stormed in menacingly.

"Don't misunderstand! We don't know him, and we don't know how he got in! His actions have nothing to do with the Feng Clan!"

The other geniuses from the Feng Clan inside the room were all frightened and quickly distanced themselves from Feng Si, distancing themselves from him.

That's a large-scale cross-domain business association. In this world, wealth and power are definitely positively correlated; otherwise, how could they withstand such enormous wealth? The Qian Clan Merchant Association is something the Feng Clan can't afford to offend, even though the Feng Clan is one of the ten great clans of the Western Land.

Qian Duoduo glanced at the other Feng Clan geniuses with hostility, then grabbed Feng Si by the collar and dragged him out. Immediately afterward, chaotic fighting sounds came from outside.

The people inside the private room were trembling, not daring to utter a sound.

Before long, Feng Si was beaten black and blue, and then a group of the Qian Clan guards carried her down from upstairs. The people downstairs all made way for her, watching excitedly.

"Confiscate all his belongings, strip him of his clothes as payment, then throw him out and permanently blacklist him from the Qian Clan Merchant Association."

Amid Qian Duoduo's angry shouts, Feng Si had his Storage Bag and Insect-Rearing Pouch confiscated, and then his clothes and shoes were stripped off, leaving him only with his underwear.

Feng Si was thus thrown naked onto the street in full view of everyone.

People on the street all gathered around, pointing and laughing at the person on the ground. The spectators in the auction also poured out to watch the excitement, and the place was filled with uproarious laughter.

Feng Si's fair skin was covered in dust from the ground. She got up in a disheveled state, her face turning pale and then red.

What a disgrace! What a humiliation!

Feng Si is a renowned genius in the Far Western Feng Clan; when has he ever suffered such humiliation?

He had never been so humiliated before; he felt he had lost all face for the rest of his life.

Feng Si blushed with shame as he was stripped naked and thrown out. He was so ashamed and indignant that he wanted to commit suicide.

How could he ever face anyone here again? This incident is destined to be an indelible stain on his reputation, a source of ridicule for the rest of his life. He was so angry he was about to faint.

At this moment, the group of geniuses from the Feng Clan finally came out, each covering their faces with their hands as they walked out. It was too embarrassing; they were ashamed of themselves. Today's incident would damage the reputation of the entire Western Land Feng Clan.

Especially today, with almost all the well-known figures from the Western Land gathered in Blackstone City, the influence is even greater. The Feng Clan is now famous!

Feng Si's face was horribly contorted. After giving Long Xuan a venomous look, she finally pushed through the crowd and fled as if her life depended on it.

The group of the Feng Clan geniuses who had just left turned pale when they saw Feng Si chasing after them. Why was he running this way? Did he want to drag them down with him and make them lose face?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on them, the group of the Feng Clan geniuses felt a chill run down their spines and turned to run away.

A burst of laughter erupted behind me; even after running quite a distance, the laughter could still be faintly heard.

"That's such a vicious move of yours, it's like killing someone's spirit!" Long Ziyan turned to look at the person who was still leisurely drinking tea, and gave him a reproachful look.

I won't offend others unless they offend me; if they do, I will retaliate. I was just making a little joke with him; I hope he won't take it to heart.

Long Xuan took a sip of tea, looked in the direction Feng Si had left, and narrowed his eyes.

Under their own scheme, the Western Land Feng Clan would definitely not tolerate Feng Si anymore. Even Blackstone City would have no place for him. Even if the Feng Clan continued to take him in, Feng Si would certainly not have the face to stay in this heartbreaking place.

He will definitely leave the city next.

At this point, his Storage Bag and Insect-Rearing Pouch had been confiscated, and he didn't have a single usable Gu Insect on him. Taking his life would be as easy as turning one's hand.

It's time to settle scores after all these years," a fleeting murderous intent flashed in Long Xuan's eyes.

To deal with an enemy, you must eliminate them completely, even if that enemy no longer poses any threat to you.

So what if he has no Gu Insect and no wealth now? Who knows what opportunities he might encounter when he goes out, such as finding the corpse of Gu King for free? Li Dashan became rich precisely because he found the corpse of Gu King.

Even if the probability of such an event is very low, we still have to be prepared.

The best way is to eliminate this person completely, cutting off any possibility of him making a comeback and giving him no chance.

This person has held a grudge for so long over such a trivial matter, and keeps coming to cause him trouble. Since Feng Si is so vengeful, how can Long Xuan let him live!

Let's use a little trick today to put an end to this feud once and for all.

Unbeknownst to Long Xuan, Long Ziyan was also squinting, gazing in the direction Feng Si had left.

Thinking to himself, after such a shameful incident, Feng Si must leave this city, otherwise he would be ridiculed wherever he goes, which no one can bear.

Once he leaves the city, taking his life will be as easy as turning one's hand. Moreover, he no longer has any Gu Insect in his body, so killing him is as simple as blowing a breath.

This farce at the auction has wasted a lot of time, and with this delay, the first half of the auction is now over. It would be against the rules to continue the auction indefinitely.

Moreover, the intermission auction is right after, and time is very tight. If any unexpected event occurs, it will definitely delay the intermission auction.

Merchants value integrity, so the Qian Clan Merchant Association had no choice but to announce that the final auction item had failed to sell, and would instead hold the Renowned Blade for auction during the mid-session auction.

The mid-session auction is a special auction for Gu cultivators at the Spiritual Sea Stage. Although they are wealthier, a second-tier Renowned Blade is not something that belongs to the Spiritual Sea Stage Gu cultivator realm, so it's hard to say whether it can still fetch a high price.

This made all the Qian Clan Gu cultivators' faces darken, and they hated Feng Si even more.

Everyone began to leave in an orderly manner. Long Xuan and Long Ziyan also came down from upstairs and walked out of the auction house side by side.

"What a pity! If it weren't for Feng Si interfering, that Renowned Blade would definitely be yours."

"Although we really screwed this person over, the price of losing a Renowned Blade is quite high," Long Ziyan said with a regretful expression.

Long Xuan's smile remained unchanged, and his face showed no sign of regret.

His goal was never the Renowned Blade. He released the Silvermoon Mantis purely for show, to deliberately mislead others into believing that he was determined to get the Renowned Blade, so that Feng Si could confidently raise the price.

In reality, he never even considered buying any Renowned Blade; he never had such an idea from beginning to end.

On the one hand, something worth hundreds of millions is simply too hot to handle; it's dangerous to keep it in your hands.

He has always been cautious and only buys items at auctions that are not very expensive.

On the other hand, the Renowned Blade was of little use to him, so he never thought of using the method of fusing with the famous Blade Gu to transform the Renowned Blade.

All the Gu cultivators of the Long Family transform by fusing their Blade Gu with various sword-type Spirit Artifact. He has never liked to follow the crowd, because what is popular is often not the strongest. He only likes to be different and walk a path that no one else can do but that only he can do.

Even if he planned to use the sword-type Spirit Artifact of this world to transform his Blade Gu.

Given his personality, he would definitely choose to create his own sword. Combining his knowledge and imagination from his previous life, he would surely go against the grain again and forge the strongest sword in the world.

Even if I were to use a knife, it would definitely be one I forged myself; who wants this world's worthless junk?

This was Long Xuan's state of mind at that moment, which was why he truly had no interest in that famous Renowned Blade.
