The declaration resonated like the drop of a bomb in the auction.
Was the Rejuvenation Pill so commonplace now? One wasn’t sufficient; she had to raise the stakes with an additional pill. It remained to be seen if the Ye family head would continue the bidding.
The auctioneer, shaken by Ye Leng’an’s words, struggled to find his voice. When he addressed Ye Lengan, it was with utmost caution, his tone laced with disbelief. “Miss Ye, are you saying you’re willing to exchange two
Rejuvenation Pills and 1.2 billion Spirit Coins for the Shennong Cauldron?”
Heaven! He could hardly believe his ears. Just one Rejuvenation Pill had already set his heart pounding, and now Miss Ye had upped the ante to two.
This auction, he dared to assert, would undoubtedly be the pinnacle of his life.
“Yes, indeed.” Ye Lengan smiled, determination evident in her tone. “I’m quite fond of this Shennong Cauldron, and encountering it today, I’m not inclined to let it slip away.”
In contrast, Ye Hongxuan’s expression darkened. Unforeseen was the fact that even after presenting his pill for exchange, Ye Lengan persisted and even offered one more Rejuvenation Pill.
“Ye An’an, must you vie for the Shennong Cauldron with us?” Ye Wanwan on the side grew anxious. “What’s so special about it when you don’t even have a decent alchemy furnace? Why fixate on the Shennong Cauldron? You’re young, and your alchemy skills aren’t exceptional. Even in your hands, this
Shennong Cauldron won’t be of much use!”
“That’s not your concern,” Ye Leng’an retorted, shaking her head. “As I mentioned before, in the auction, everyone competes based on their own merits. I believe the Shennong Cauldron at this price is worth my offer. If you desire it as well, feel free to raise the stakes.’
Ye Wanwan seemed on the verge of arguing, yet no words escaped her lips.
“Miss Ye, are you set on fighting this to the end?” Ye Hongxuan’s eyes flickered with an unknown danger. “You should be aware that our Ye family has been alchemists for generations. It’s beyond your imagination. If you’re willing to step back, I can represent the Ye family and agree to one request of yours.
What do you say?”
This declaration drew the attention of many, anticipating Ye Leng’an’s concession.
Though Ye An’an was the fiancée of Master Huangfu, establishing a stable footing in the Huangfu family wouldn’t be easy without personal accomplishments. This was an excellent opportunity for her to secure a promise from the Ye family, a dream for many!
Furthermore, she wouldn’t need to make significant sacrifices. Ceasing the contention for the Shennong Cauldron was all that was required – simple enough.
Ye Wanwan, however, felt a sense of urgency. She considered the conditions set by her father too steep. Who knew what kind of person Ye An t an was? What if she demanded an exorbitant price?
Yet, when she noticed her father’s stern gaze, she reluctantly held her tongue.
“Not necessary!” Under the scrutiny of everyone, Ye Lengan shook her head, nonchalantly stating, “I’ll fight for whatever I desire. As for an ethereal promise, it’s inconsequential to me. Therefore, Master Ye, let’s rely on our individual capabilities! ”
Ye Hongxuan stared at Ye Lengan, teeth clenched. “Miss Ye, you’re quite something.”
It was evident to anyone perceptive that this wasn’t a compliment. Normally, Ye Hongxuan carried himself with elegance. Clearly, his current anger had prompted this change.
Ye Lengan remained unfazed, interpreting his words as praise. “l appreciate the compliment.”
Due to Ye Leng’an’s response, Ye Hongxuan!s expression soured further. When he looked at Ye Lengan, a hint of unfriendliness gleamed in his eyes..
