117: Don't fall into the trap and make harsh words, block the way and take advantage of the situation

On the second floor, inside Miss Jiang's private room!

Jiang Han was also frowning at this moment!

"What should we do? Xu Chuang is clearly trying to force us into a corner. Should we follow or not?"

Miss Jiang's expression flickered between uncertainty and resolve. After a moment of thought, she said.

"Don't follow!"

"Don't follow? Then the action you just took, sending Xiao Chan down, will become a joke!"

"And Xu Chuang is clearly targeting us!"

"We protected Ye An just now, but as a result, he couldn't even buy the Soaring Dragon Art. This is our fault. Are we really just going to ignore it?"

Jiang Han said, his Face full of apology.

Miss Jiang said.

"I know this matter started because of us!"

"But no matter how sorry we feel, now is not the time to act impulsively!"

"Have you considered that the initiative is in Xu Chuang's hands!"

"Once we follow, we must secure the Soaring Dragon Art to turn the tide! Otherwise, this matter will be meaningless!"

"And because of our involvement, the intensity of the situation will only escalate!"

"If Xu Chuang truly follows through and takes the Soaring Dragon Art, our Jiang Family will lose even more Face!"

"Taking a step back, if Xu Chuang backs off at the end, we will acquire the Soaring Dragon Art at a high price. While this might save the Jiang Family's Face, our chances of competing for the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root will be completely gone!"

"An Earth-Grade Spiritual Root is a rare opportunity. Even if we lose some Face now, we cannot fall into Xu Chuang's trap!"

"Most importantly, with the Xu Family's financial power, we are highly unlikely to outbid him!"

"As for Ye An, we'll find a way to compensate him later!"

Jiang Han fell silent upon hearing this.

Indeed, everything Miss Jiang said was true.

Actually, they didn't have much confidence in securing the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root to begin with!

If they were to fall into Xu Chuang's entanglement trap again, they would only become more passive!

Thinking of this, Jiang Han couldn't help but curse.

"It's all my fault for not being able to Cultivate. If I could Cultivate, how could the Xu Family be so arrogant!"

Miss Jiang said.

"It's not your fault!"

"The Xu Family is used to being arrogant in Jianglan City because of their wealth!"

"When Big Brother returns, he definitely won't let them off!"

Jiang Han nodded... In the main hall, everyone saw that the Jiang Family had not made a move for a long time.

For a moment, they all started to discuss.

"Alas! The sky in Jianglan City is truly about to change!"

"Who says it isn't? The Xu Family's wealth is astonishing, and Old Master Jiang is old, so the Jiang Family's decline is inevitable!"

"I'm afraid that from now on in Jianglan City, Young Master Xu will truly dominate everything!"

... Amidst everyone's discussions, the Beautiful Host finally announced the final result.

The Soaring Dragon Art was ultimately acquired by Xu Chuang for a price of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

In the private room on the second floor, Xu Chuang sneered.

"Coward!"

"I thought Miss Jiang would follow, but I didn't expect her to be such a coward!"

"But after today, everyone in Jianglan City will know who is the most unprovokable existence in Jianglan City!"

"Young Master is right!"

The subordinate next to him laughed.

As for Ye An on the first floor, he could only sigh. There was nothing else he could do.

After all, he was not as strong as others, so what could he do?

The Beautiful Host quickly brought out the last item for auction.

Which was the highly anticipated Earth-Grade Spiritual Root!

Sure enough, as this item was brought out, all the Cultivators in the entire auction house immediately became excited.

Although many knew they couldn't afford it!

This did not diminish their enthusiasm in the slightest!

The Beautiful Host said.

"Alright everyone, next up is the highlight of our evening!"

"The Earth-Grade Spiritual Root!"

"I won't waste any more time and will directly announce the starting bid!"

"The starting bid is five hundred bottles of High Grade Spirit Fluid!"

"Each bid increment must not be less than ten bottles of High Grade Spirit Fluid. Tonight, who will claim the top prize depends on everyone's strength!"

"The bidding begins!"

As the Beautiful Host's voice fell, all the Cultivators present immediately went wild!

One by one, they eagerly raised their bidding paddles!

In less than a minute, the price had doubled, soaring to one thousand bottles of High Grade Spirit Fluid!

However, at this point, the number of people bidding clearly began to decrease.

And at this moment, movement finally came from the second floor.

A woman's voice echoed from the second floor.

"The Jiang Family bids two thousand bottles of High Grade Spirit Fluid!"

Upon hearing this price, the main hall below immediately fell silent.

Clearly, this price was beyond their participation!

But what surprised everyone was that as soon as the Jiang Family's words fell, a man's voice rang out from the other side!

"The Li Family bids, two thousand five hundred bottles!"

"Oh my, the Li Family has also made a move!"

"Who says it isn't? And who knows how much the Xu Family can bid!"

"It's truly exciting!"

... Amidst everyone's discussions, Xu Chuang, sitting in his private room, finally stood up and said to a subordinate beside him.

"Go! Let them see what the Xu Family's financial power means!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate next to him didn't waste any words and immediately shouted out!

"Young Master Xu said that no matter who bids the highest tonight, our Xu Family will add ten more bottles of Spirit Fluid!"

"Everyone, you may continue!"

"Buying out the venue? Holy cow, this is buying out the venue!"

"Damn! As expected of Young Master Xu, his move practically blinded my dog eyes!"

"It seems Young Master Xu is determined to win!"

"Tonight is truly exciting!"

... The atmosphere in the main hall was instantly pushed to a climax!

Even Miss Jiang in her private room and the Li Family members in another private room couldn't help but sigh.

In this situation, they clearly had no chance!

And Ye Mi'er, sitting in the main hall on the first floor, had never seen such a grand display before. At this moment, she couldn't help but exclaim.

"The Xu Family is too rich!"

"Do they have a mine at home, to spend so lavishly?"

Ye An also sighed helplessly in his heart.

"Comparing oneself to others only leads to frustration!"

"It seems I need to speed up the pace of making money!"

He had originally thought that since he had Transmigrated, he might as well enjoy life more!

Good heavens, he didn't expect that the laborers in the Immortal Realm were even worse off than the toiling masses of his previous life!

In his previous life, even as a laborer, he wouldn't starve or freeze!

Those rich second-generation heirs were also relatively low-key!

Good heavens, he didn't expect the laborers in this Immortal Realm to be even more miserable, and even the rich second-generation heirs were so arrogant!

It truly confirmed that saying: if you don't work hard, you'll be a laborer no matter where you are!

A good life truly depends on one's own efforts!

"I originally planned to take it easy and develop slowly, but since you all are playing like this!"

"Then don't blame me for not acting human!"

"With my System in hand, am I still afraid of you rich second-generation heirs?"

Ye An muttered to himself.

And soon, the auction for the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root also came to an end.

With Young Master Xu's harsh words, the auction process was much faster.

However, the final bidder also needed to verify their assets; otherwise, if people just called out random prices, the Xu Family certainly wouldn't agree.

So after the auction ended, Young Master Xu and Miss Jiang, who made the final bid of three thousand bottles of Spirit Fluid, naturally couldn't leave yet!

Ye An had long lost interest and directly led Liu Bairan and Ye Mi'er out of the auction hall with the crowd.

Upon arriving in the auction house lobby, Ye An and the two women saw a group of people waiting at a window to collect the items they had won at auction!

Except for the Earth-Grade Spiritual Root, which would be delivered directly to the buyer, all other auctioned items had to be collected here!

Ye An even saw the Soaring Dragon Art Jade Slip being placed into a storage ring by a burly Cultivator!

However, what they didn't expect was that.

After the big man collected the Soaring Dragon Art and Skyfire Lotus, he didn't leave!

Instead, he and another companion went directly to the entrance!

As if waiting for someone!

Ye An didn't think much of it and immediately led the two women to leave!

However, just as they reached the entrance, the big man and his companion unexpectedly blocked their way!

The big man said!

"You're Ye An, right? We were sent by Miss Jiang!"

"Miss Jiang wants us to escort you back!"

"Please come!"

The big man clearly hadn't seen Ye An and the two women when he collected the items.

At this moment, he was truly putting on an act.

Ye Mi'er glanced at Ye An, her eyes seemingly saying.

"This is a trap, we'd better not go!"

However, Ye An smiled and looked at Liu Bairan next to him.

Are you kidding? The item has been delivered to his doorstep, how could he not take it?

Seeing Liu Bairan nod her head.

Ye An also directly smiled and said.

"Thank you, please lead the way!"
