Mu Qiuxue didn’t know why she trusted Yun Lintian, who didn’t even give her any guarantee of his words. Perhaps she made a decision purely based on her intuition or because Yun Lintian gave off a familiar feeling.
It was out of Yun Lintian’s expectation that she was easily convinced like this. He smiled brightly and beckoned. “Eat first. Talk later.”
Mu Qiuxue said nothing more and picked a spoon up, scooping a mouthful of porridge and put in her mouth. A look of delight appeared in the depth of her eyes, and she started to eat more.
Everyone looked at her and Yun Lintian with strange expressions, but none of them questioned him as they believed Yun Lintian must have his own reason for doing this.
“Next, I would like to present everyone with an ancient artifact.” At this moment, Xiao Yue brought the next item up.
The two maids beside her carefully opened a metallic box, and a dazzling golden light immediately burst out.
In Yun Lintian’s room, Jin Yang abruptly stood up with an ashen expression. His golden pupils stared at the object in the box with hatred. “I know it! It was them who took our heirloom away!”
Jin Mingzhe returned to his sense after being startled by his father’s abrupt action. He quickly looked at the item in the box, and his face changed drastically.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly at Jin Yang’s reaction. He quickly looked over the box and saw a golden scaled armor lying neatly. This armor gave off an oppressive aura that even he could feel from this position.
Xiao Yue glanced at Yun Lintian’s room briefly and curled her lips. “I believe many of you here have already recognized it. That’s right. This armor is the Golden Python Clan’s heirloom, Golden Tribulation Armor!”
Hiss—
The crowd was shocked and subconsciously looked in Yun Lintian’s room direction. What kind of operation was this? Stealing someone’s heirloom and selling it back to the owner? They couldn’t imagine how humiliating Jin Yang felt right now.
Hearing this, Yun Lintian immediately understood and couldn’t sigh inwardly. First, they sold the Heavenly Vermilion Fruit that originally belonged to the Fire Cloud Rat Clan, and now this. He had to admit the Sky Qilin Clan indeed did an excellent job on this play.
He turned to Jin Yang and said calmly. “Please calm down, Senior Jin. We will get it back soon.”
“Yes. You don’t need to get angry. Aren’t you always suspecting them for all this time?” Yu Rongxi comforted. 𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐
Jin Yang took a deep breath and sat back in his seat. “I’ll definitely make them pay!”
“We will.” Huoyun Yurou’s voice resounded all of a sudden. Everyone quickly turned their head to look at her and discovered her aura was highly stable compared to the earlier.
“Congratulations, Senior.” Yu Rongxi hurriedly said, followed by Jin Yang and Huoyun Zhu.
Huoyun Yurou smiled faintly and looked at Mu Qiuxue curiously. Earlier, she was fully immersed in the consolidating state and was unaware of the situation.
Seeing this, Huoyun Zhu quickly explained through a sound transmission.
Huoyun Yurou immediately understood and turned to look at Yun Lintian. “You did a good job.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Matriarch.” Yun Lintian responded with a smile.
Huoyun Yurou shifted her gaze onto the Golden Tribulation Armor on the platform and said softly. “It doesn’t matter if we have to spend a huge fortune. We must get it back.”
Jin Yang and Jin Mingzhe were moved. They quickly bowed their heads. “Thank you, Senior.”
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian nodded his head gently. “Leave it to me. Spending money is my expertise.”
Yu Jiao’er covered her mouth and giggled when she heard this. Indeed, no one could compare to Yun Lintian when it came to spending.
“Big Brother Yun, this armor is strange. Its spirit seems to disperse already.” Linlin, who was lying obediently on Yun Lintian’s lap for all this time, suddenly spoke.
“Spirit?” Yun Lintian’s brows raised. He turned to Jin Yang and asked. “Senior Jin, has the armor possessed its own spirit before? I didn’t seem to perceive it now.”
Jin Yang nodded and said sadly. “My grandfather wore this armor to participate in the battle back then, and he had sacrificed the armor’s spirit and himself in order to protect everyone. The everyone I mean is including Tianqi Zongwei, Zi Taiyang, and Lang Moxie.”
His face was full of deep hatred as he spoke further. “The armor had been missing since then. No matter how hard my father tried to find it, he couldn’t even see a single trace. It was as though it had just disappeared from the world… Heh. Everything is clear now. It would be a miracle if my father discovered it when it was always in their hand.”
Yun Lintian went silent. He simply didn’t know what to say in this situation.
After the crowd calmed down a little, Xiao Yue said further. “The starting price of this armor is one hundred million mid-grade Profound Stones, and the minimum increment is one million. You can start bidding now.”
The crowd was shocked once again upon hearing the price. The Nine Profound Pavilion was ruthless enough. They obviously wanted to slaughter Jin Yang. However, none of this was their concern. They were simply watching the show on the sideline.
“Bastard!” Jin Yang cursed angrily. Even though he was aware that he shouldn’t be furious, it was impossible for him to completely calm down in this situation.
“Let me handle this, Senior Jin.” Yun Lintian said and turned to the platform. “One hundred and one million.”
As Yun Lintian’s voice fell, Tianqi Junlai’s voice rang out immediately. “Two hundred million.”
Everyone was taken aback and looked in Tianqi Junlai’s direction speechlessly while feeling sorry for Yun Lintian. No matter how much Yun Lintian raised the bid, Tianqi Junlai could follow without pressure. After all, he was the owner of the Nine Profound Pavilion.
Jin Yang clenched his fists, and his eyes turned bloodshot. This was the second time that he was powerless to do anything.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian wasn’t surprised about this. Since they dared to take this item out, they naturally intended to slaughter him as much as possible.
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked. “So, the pavilion’s owner can also participate in this? Isn’t this clearly a malicious price raising?”
Xiao Yue seemed to anticipate this question a long time ago. She smiled charmingly as she answered. “I’m sorry, this gentleman. There’s no rule stating that the owner cannot join the bid… Do you want to continue? After all, this is hard to come by chance.”
