"Impossible! How could he still have Profound Stones left!?" Zi Mo blurted out loudly.
A frown appeared between Pei Xiewen's brows. He thought for a moment and whispered something to his subordinate behind, and the latter quickly went out.
Soon, the previous young maid appeared in front of Yun Lintian's room once again. No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to do it.
Creak!
As she raised her hand up, preparing to knock on the door. The door suddenly opened, and Yun Lintian handed a storage ring to her. "Check it as much as you want."
The young maid's face was cramped slightly. She quickly checked the content inside the ring and saw roughly one hundred million mid-grade Profound Stones lying peacefully in it.
She was shocked again before returning the ring to Yun Lintian. "Thank you for your cooperation. I'll take my leave first…. Please understand me. I cannot refuse my superior's command."
"Did I blame you for anything? You're overthinking." Yun Lintian chuckled and closed the door.
The young maid sighed helplessly and went back to report her superior.
Pei Xiewen received the report a while later, and he was slightly surprised. "He has another one hundred million in his hand."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What!?" Zi Mo was shocked. He was a young master of the Purple Winged Tiger Clan, but he had never had such a huge amount of money in his hand before. How could a supposed-to-be-poor person like Yun Lintian come up with this number?
On the side, Lang Mian and Lang Xue glanced at each other with incredulity. They were curious about this as well.
Meanwhile, a strange light flashed across Bi You's eyes. Since coming here, her gaze hadn't yet left Yun Lintian's direction. She obviously had something on her mind, but no one could figure it out at the moment.
Yun Lintian returned to his seat and said. "Miss Xiao, this is the second time you sent someone to check my asset. Shouldn't you check on the opposite party too? Who knows if he really has ten million?"
Xiao Yue had a strange expression upon hearing this and thought this young man from the Fire Cloud Rat Clan was bold enough. She secretly communicated with someone and turned in Yun Lintian's direction. "Please rest easy, this gentleman. We will certainly check on him, as you requested."
Zi Mo's face turned green when he heard this. As much as he wanted to refuse, he didn't have the gut to do so. After all, the one behind the Nine Profound Pavilion was no other than the Sky Qilin Clan.
Zi Mo obediently handed his storage ring to the young maid, and the latter quickly left after checking it.
Soon, Xiao Yue said. "We've finished checking on Young Master Zi. There's no problem with his asset. Shall we continue now?"
"Sure." Yun Lintian responded with a faint smile.
"They are so shameless. They clearly report Brother Huoyun's number to others but actually say nothing about Zi Mo." Yu Jiao'er said angrily.
"It's normal. This is their turf. I'm merely trying to prevent them from coming to me again, and now my goal has been achieved." Yu Lintian said gently.
"I understand now." Jin Mingzhe nodded his head with a serious expression, causing his father to look at him with a dark face... It was so obvious, and you just understood it now?
"Forty million from the gentleman in room number three. Do you want to raise the bid, Young Master Zi?" Xiao Yue said with a charming smile as usual.
Zi Mo gritted his teeth and shouted. "Forty-one million!" This was his limit now. He needed to ask his father for it if he wanted to continue. However, he knew that his father would give him a beating instead. This attempt could be considered trying to save his face.
"Forty-one million and one hundred." Yun Lintian added directly.
Hiss—
The crowd sucked in cold breaths. Yun Lintian was clearly trying to disgust Zi Mo with this bid.
Zi Mo's face turned black like a bottom of a pot. "This bastard!"
Xiao Yue smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, the minimum increment is one hundred thousand."
"Oh? I'll bid forty-one million and one hundred thousand then." Yun Lintian responded casually.
Before Xiao Yue could say anything, she heard Yun Lintian's voice again. "Wait. I'll add another one hundred. It's a better-looking number."
Xiao Yue's lips twitched slightly. She didn't want to waste time with this man anymore and asked directly. "Does anyone want to add more?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Brother Pei, can you help me?" Zi Mo's face was ashen. He didn't want to lose to Yun Lintian, but he couldn't ask his father for help. Pei Xiewen was the only person he could ask right now.
Pei Xiewen stirred the cup of wine in his hand gently and said. "Alright. I will help you once."
"Thank you, Brother Pei! I will pay back as soon as possible." Zi Mo was overjoyed.
Pei Xiewen glanced at Bi You briefly and said calmly. "Fifty million."
Xiao Yue's eyes lit up. Finally, Young Master Pei entered the game. Her commission would undoubtedly rise to another level soon.
Without waiting for her to speak, Yun Lintian immediately added. "Eighty million."
Everyone was taken aback by the sudden increment. How come Yun Lintian add thirty million more directly?
Pei Xiewen's eyes narrowed slightly. He thought for a moment and said. "One hundred million."
"One hundred million and one hundred thousand." Yun Lintian responded with a smile as he stared at the room opposite him.
Although they could not see each other, Yun Lintian and Pei Xiewen seemed to stare at each other with battle intent at this moment.
After a while, Pei Xiewen said coldly. "One hundred and twenty million."
"Why are you so stingy, Young Master Pei?… Are you perhaps already spending all your wealth on the incoming wedding event?" Yun Lintian curled his lips. "Well, it's understandable then. I won't add much this time."
He turned to Xiao Yue and said. "One hundred and twenty-one million."
Pei Xiewen went silent immediately. It wasn't because he didn't have money to bid further, but he tried to determine the opponent's intention… Why did this man try to disgust him all of a sudden?
Unfortunately, Pei Xiewen would never think that the source of Yun Lintian's hostility was coming from his subordinates harming Yun Lintian's people.
