“Who would’ve thought that Young Master Miao who had been lying low all this while was the one who shocked us all eventually!”

“Yeah! He raised the bid by a whopping 1,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! That’s intense!”

“Maybe the painting contained a secret meaning. Why else would the low-profile Young Master Miao do something like that?”

The crowd let out a hushed gasp, watching Miao Yiyue quizzically.

Chen Xiaobei was just as baffled. Even though he had only met Miao Yiyue once, he was confident that Miao Yiyue was an impetuous kind of person.

He would not have raised the bid so outrageously if the sole reason was that he merely liked the painting. There was most certainly another reason behind it.

Then, Lu Changwei’s comment confirmed it. “Bro Miao, you are insane! Normally, I wouldn’t argue with you! But it’s different this time. The grand elder’s birthday is coming up, and this painting would make the best present! Any person who can get his hands on this painting would surely be able to win the old man’s heart!” He suddenly raised his hand and shouted. “6,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! If any of you wants to fight me for it, I am more than happy to do it!”

The audience gasped.

They were all bewildered by Lu Changwei’s bid and were shocked that the Sumukhwa could be worth so much!

“The grand elder! Did Master Lu mean the Temple’s Grand Elder?”

“That’s one of Northern Wilderness Starfield’s most powerful elites! I think he is worthy of entering the top five elites leaderboard!”

“So, this painting was supposed to be a gift for the grand elder’s birthday! No wonder the top-tier nobles are fighting for it!”

“But the Lu Family’s pockets run real deep! I believe the other three families will have no choice but to concede!”

The crowd discussed amongst themselves, certain that the auction had come to an end. Though the elites from four Star Temples were extremely rich, it was still quite difficult for them to bring out such a huge amount of Spiritual Stones in one go. After all, all their assets were not purely made up of Spiritual Stones.

Wei Ruilong was the first to surrender, a bitterness in his voice, saying, “The South Town Lu Family is not an easy match. The money that they earn could be comparable to that of the four leaders of the Star Temples! Our Wei Family will now withdraw…”

“Heh, Brother Wei, why do you have to bring all that up?” Lu Changwei smiled connivingly, “The Lu Family’s financial prowess is well known. Apart from our fortunes, the strongest elites in Silver Plume all come from our family too! If we Lu’s don’t become the leaders of the four Star Temples, then who would?”

Wei Ruilong said nothing to Lu Changwei’s gloating statement.

After all, the truth was right there in front of them!

There were a total of three demigods from the Lu Family.

Their younger generation, like Lu Changwei possessed a cultivation that surpassed all those of similar age to him.

Lu Changwei had every reason to show off.

Chen Xiaobei could not help but feel disgusted by Lu Changwei’s crowing. Still, there was nothing he could do about it.

“Lu Changwei is really strong! I must think of a way to increase my cultivation! Or it’ll be a million years before I could avenge Little Fox.”

Chen Xiaobei felt a sudden pang of urgency.

Even though his cultivation had been increasing exponentially, it was still a world apart from his enemies! He would have to work a lot harder!

Little Fox must be avenged! And besides, he had to revive her as soon as he could!

Right now, he really had to work hard, like really hard! Even if it meant that he had to use up his remaining years of life!

…

The whole place fell into dead silence. It was as if the crowd were hurt by Lu Changwei’s gloating. They could do nothing about it but yield to him.

“I’m out too!” Qin Luo looked hesitant. “I can actually bid some more but the price is already too steep. Even say I’m able to win the grand elder’s heart, it may not be enough to reimburse me!”

“Haha! A good man knows his limits!” Lu Changwei scorned. “Since none of you can outbid me, it’s wise for all of you to raise the white flag.”

Wei Ruilong and Qin Luoshen were born-and-bred Silver Plume nobles but they were in no way a match for Lu Changwei. How embarrassing.

“Ms. Fei Xuan! Go ahead and announce the sale of the painting! Time is precious! Let’s get on to the next item quick!”

Lu Changwei smiled victoriously as his gaze settled on the beautiful Fei Xuan.

“Not so fast, Master Lu. Master Miao hasn’t said anything yet!”

Fei Xuan smiled coyly at him so much so that he became too embarrassed to rush her.

Everyone in the room was not looking at Mao Yiyue.

They waited eagerly for him to say something shocking all over once again and teach this conceited Lu Changwei a lesson.

Miao Yiyue however remained silent.

It was obvious from his expression that he did not have enough Spiritual Stones to fight with Lu Changwei.

He had revealed all that he had just now. He wanted to see if he could win the bid with one offer.

But since Lu Changwei had raised the bid way above Miao Yiyue’s, automatically announcing Miao Yiyue’s defeat by default.

However, Miao Yiyue still looked like he did not want to admit defeat. His eyes were filled with resistance.

“Ms. Fei Xuan, it’s not that I’m refusing Miao Yiyue a chance to place a bid but it seems that he’s the one who is too shy to speak up!” Lu Changwei smirked. “Since a young age, Miao Yiyue always came second to me! No matter what we do, I’d always beat him! He will never be first as long as I am around! Hahaha…”

The crowd whispered amongst themselves.

“Lu Changwei had just crossed the line! How could he humiliate Miao Yiyue in front of so many people? What kind of hate does he harbor against him?”

“It’s just too bad that Lu Changwei is so strong. He will oppress those who refuse to obey him! Wei Ruilong and Qin Luo both conceded. That was why he didn’t attack them. But Miao Yiyue, instead, refused to and that’s why he was lambasted!”

“Oh God, Lu Changwei is so petty! You can’t simply go around bullying other people just because you’re stronger than them!”

“Sigh… We live in a world where only the fittest survives. He is strong, and so are the people backing him. Of course, he’d intimidate others!”

…

The crowd was displeased with Lu Changwei’s behavior but none of them dared express their outrage against him.

When she saw this, Fei Xuan looked at Miao Yiyue apologetically. If she had not made that comment, Lu Changwei would not have had the chance to humiliate Miao Yiyue.

“Since no one else is offering a higher price, then I’ll announce…” Fei Xuan said with a heavy heart. “That the Sumukhwa is sold for 6,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones!”

With the bid now finalized, Lu Changwei prepared himself for a big celebration.

But Chen Xiaobei quickly beat him to it and suddenly made a shocking statement.

“Heh, who knew that an amateur’s artwork could sell for such a high price! This Young Master Li is a fool with too much money!”
