114: Why am I looking at you when I'm picking up a leak? Help me out. Who likes him?

"Mier, have you ever seen this situation before?"

Ye An quickly asked Ye Mier, who was beside him.

But Ye Mier also shook her head.

"How could I have seen it? I've never even been to an auction house in Jianglan City!"

"Never been? Didn't you use to come to Jianglan City often?"

Ye An asked.

Ye Mier, however, awkwardly said.

"With the meager pocket money our Ye Family has, we can't afford to shop here!"

"Besides, I was single before, and I was only focused on studying men. Why would I be interested in this auction house?"

"Uh!"

Ye An was helpless.

But this awkward situation was truly unexpected for him.

After all, there were so many people present, yet not a single one made a bid!

It really made him unable to understand why!

Although the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root was attractive, the problem was that everyone knew in their hearts.

An average person would have no chance with that thing. Surely, not everyone was waiting to buy an Earth-Grade Spiritual Root, right?

As Ye An was thinking, the Beautiful Host on stage also spoke.

"Is anyone bidding?"

"If no one bids, we will proceed to the next item!"

...At this moment, in a private room on the second floor.

A burly Young Master was sitting on a soft sofa.

A woman as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal was lying in his arms.

The Young Master caressed the woman while slowly raising his hand.

However, the Beautiful Host's next words caused the Young Master's raised hand to freeze in mid-air.

"This Young Master bids twenty thousand. Is there a higher bidder?"

The Beautiful Host's voice fell.

Everyone, including the burly Young Master, turned their gaze to the first-floor hall.

At this moment, Ye An in the hall was holding up his sign.

Apparently, the person who bid twenty thousand Spirit Stones was none other than him!

But at this moment, Ye An was also a bit bewildered, because he found that after he made his bid, everyone in the entire hall looked at him!

Their gazes were like looking at a monkey!

Ye An couldn't help but swallow, thinking to himself.

"Good heavens, none of you are bidding, so it's not okay for me to bid and pick up a bargain?"

"Why are you all looking at me?"

Even though Ye An had lived for seventy years, he felt very uncomfortable under the gazes of the surrounding people, who were looking at him like a monkey!

Soon, a middle-aged man sitting next to him couldn't help but speak.

"Young man, you're very brave!"

"You dare to snatch something Young Master Xu has taken a fancy to?"

Ye An was stunned, and said somewhat bewildered.

"What Young Master Xu has taken a fancy to? Didn't Young Master Xu not bid?"

The middle-aged man laughed.

"You came to the auction without even inquiring about information beforehand?"

"Young Master Xu bought a Pill Formula for a fifth-grade Skyfire Pill at an auction a week ago, and he's just waiting for this skyfire lotus!"

"It can be said that Young Master Xu is determined to get this skyfire lotus. Look, who dares to bid? Everyone is waiting for Young Master Xu to bid!"

"Good heavens, you really are a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger!"

Ye An said angrily.

"I didn't know, and besides, who's a child? I'm seventy years old this year!"

"Don't be disrespectful when you talk to me!"

The middle-aged man laughed when he heard that.

"Seventy years old? I'm two hundred and thirty years old this year, who are you being disrespectful to?"

"I... Hello, Uncle!"

Ye An said helplessly.

He had forgotten that this was the Cultivation World, and his seventy years old was indeed not quite enough!

The middle-aged man laughed.

"You, just pray for yourself!"

"Those without a background who offend Young Master Xu don't have a good end!"

After speaking, the middle-aged man actually got up and went elsewhere, seemingly afraid of being implicated!

Meanwhile, in the private room on the second floor.

The burly Young Master finally spoke.

"Who is this foolish boy?"

"He actually dares to snatch the skyfire lotus from me?"

A subordinate beside him said.

"Young Master, this person looks unfamiliar, so he must not be from Jianglan City!"

"Should we send someone to investigate him?"

Young Master Xu nodded when he heard that.

"If he has no background, then just deal with him!"

"To dare to snatch things from me in Jianglan City, he must be tired of living!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate responded.

And Young Master Xu also raised his hand afterwards, and a subordinate immediately held up a sign next to him.

And it clearly stated thirty thousand Spirit Stones!

The Beautiful Host's voice quickly rang out as expected.

"Young Master Xu bids thirty thousand Spirit Stones, is there anyone else following?"

Ye An couldn't help but swallow when he heard this bid.

Clearly, this Young Master Xu was truly arrogant. He had only made a starting bid of twenty thousand, and the other party directly added ten thousand Spirit Stones.

Besides being too lazy to slowly increase the bid with him, this was obviously also a warning to him.

Telling him not to be ignorant!

Ye An hadn't intended to snatch it in the first place; he only wanted to pick up a bargain because no one was bidding.

Now that he knew Young Master Xu wanted it, he naturally lost interest.

After all, what he wanted was that Jade Slip of the Dragon Soaring Art!

Sure enough, as Ye An stopped speaking, the fifth-grade skyfire lotus was soon bought by Young Master Xu for thirty thousand Spirit Stones.

To be honest, the price was really low, and Ye An was tempted.

But there was nothing he could do; he couldn't compete with the other party.

But this was also the first time Ye An experienced what is called the power of strength!

Young Master Xu just sat there without saying anything, yet he managed to intimidate a group of people from daring to bid. This was the power of strength.

And this invisible power also helped Young Master Xu save a lot of Spirit Stones.

After all, if it were a normal auction, this fifth-grade skyfire lotus could at least be bid up to forty thousand or even fifty thousand Spirit Stones!

But there was no way, Young Master Xu's reputation was there, and no one really dared to offend him!

...The Beautiful Host quickly took out the second item for auction.

It was an Earth-Grade longsword. Ye An had no interest in it, so he didn't pay attention!

However, what he didn't know was that at this moment, in another private room on the second floor.

Jiang Han, however, spoke.

"This is not good!"

"Young Master Xu sent someone to investigate Young Master Ye's background!"

"It seems Young Master Ye's bidding just now angered him!"

"Third Young Miss, aren't you going to help him?"

Jiang Yu, who was beside him, said indifferently.

"He didn't bother to understand the situation and just acted recklessly!"

"What does offending Xu Chuang have to do with me?"

"I don't care about him at all!"

"Is he your friend?"

Jiang Han was speechless, then shook his head and said.

"Forget it, if you don't help, then I will!"

Saying that, Jiang Han said to the attendant beside him.

"Go tell Young Master Xu that Ye An is my friend!"

"I apologize to Young Master Xu on his behalf and ask Young Master Xu not to target him!"

The attendant nodded when he heard that and was about to leave, but Jiang Yu, who was beside him, spoke up, speechless.

"How many times has Second Brother told you, our Jiang Family is the ruler of Jiangzhou! Even if you don't have a Spiritual Root, you still have to be a bit tougher!"

"There's no reason to plead with Xu Chuang for someone you want to protect!"

"Let Xiao Chan go instead!"

Saying that, Jiang Yu said to the maid beside her.

"Xiao Chan, go yourself and tell Ye An to return to the inn after the auction ends, and not to wander around!"

"I will arrange for the patrol team to escort him back!"

The maid looked at Jiang Yu with some surprise when she heard that.

But she quickly nodded.

"Yes, Young Miss!"

Then the maid turned and left.

And Jiang Han, seeing this scene, couldn't help but say.

"Isn't it true that your Second Brother can't Cultivate, so my confidence is naturally not as strong as yours!"

"But I never expected you to actually let Xiao Chan personally intervene! Even Xiao Chan was surprised!"

"She is your personal maid! Everyone in Jianglan City knows she is your person!"

"Later, when those people see Xiao Chan appearing next to Ye An, I'm afraid they'll all be shocked and speculate about your relationship with Ye An!"

At this point, Jiang Han also quickly asked.

"Third Young Miss, tell your older brother honestly, what exactly is your relationship with Ye An?"

"You pretend not to care, but when something really happens, you actually send Xiao Chan to resolve it!"

"I don't believe you don't care about him!"

"Speak! Do you like him?"

Jiang Yu's face immediately turned red when she heard that, and she quickly said.

"Who likes him!"
