Chapter 163 No Joy
Situ Jingxuan paused, then added, "This person's methods are exactly the same as mine, they suit my taste perfectly!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but chuckle, "I really want to see what kind of person can make Xiao Chuhuan run around like a headless chicken."
Situ Jingtian glanced coldly at Situ Jingxuan, his tone carrying a hint of warning: "Don't even think about it. This person is obviously not a good person. Don't mess with him. If you dare to cause trouble for the family again like last time, I will lock you in the ancestral hall and make you reflect on your actions!"
Finally, he added, "Did you hear that?"
Situ Jingtian immediately felt regretful, but he had no choice but to abandon the idea.
Shen Yunxi stopped bidding when the price reached 30,000 spirit stones.
"Thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones per attempt!"
No one else bid, and Xiao Chuhuan's palms were sweating with nervousness, his heart pounding in his throat.
If that person raises the price again, how should he handle the situation?
"Twice, two times, costing 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones three times!"
The auctioneer's clear voice resounded throughout the hall, carrying a hint of joy and excitement, as he brought down the gavel: "Congratulations to our distinguished guest in Box Number One for successfully bidding on the Xuan-grade Soul Weapon—Soul Hook—for 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones!"
Xiao Chuhuan breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing. Before he could even feel glad that he hadn't wasted any more money, he heard a deep voice coming from the opposite private room.
"My brother said it wasn't worth spending so much money on this, so he suddenly doesn't want it anymore!" He then raised his cup towards Xiao Chuhuan: "Congratulations, you've obtained a first-tier Xuan-level spiritual treasure!"
These words struck Xiao Chuhuan like a thunderbolt, instantly snapping him out of his smugness, and his blood seemed to freeze.
A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he realized that he had been tricked. Buying a first-level Xuan-grade spirit treasure for 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones was utterly foolish!
His face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. His father was already very dissatisfied with him because of what happened between him and the concubine a few days ago, and even almost stripped him of his position as crown prince. If his father knew that he had spent 30,000 mid-grade spirit stones to buy a first-grade Xuan-level spirit treasure, would he still be able to keep his position as crown prince?
This was simply adding insult to injury for him!
Xiao Chuhuang's face suddenly drained of all color, becoming extremely pale.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh, filled with remorse.
Not only did she fail to stop Xiao Chuhuan's impulsive bidding, but she also fanned the flames and encouraged him to continue raising the price. Now she is in a difficult situation, and her father will surely unleash his fury when he finds out.
Xiao Chuhuang gritted her teeth and said, "I will not swallow this insult! How dare they play such a joke on our Beiyuan royal family! This is simply outrageous!" She slammed her hand on the table, causing the teacup to shake and spill tea. Her eyes widened in anger as she said, word by word, "I will make them pay the price and let them know that the dignity of the Beiyuan royal family cannot be challenged!"
Xiao Chuhuan took a deep breath, trying to suppress the surging anger in his heart. He turned to look at Xiao Chuhuang and asked, word by word, "Royal sister, what should we do now?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Chuhuang's eyes. She gripped the teacup tightly in her hand, her knuckles turning white, and said in an icy tone, "What else can we do? Of course, we take revenge!"
She slammed the teacup to the ground, making a crisp shattering sound. Shards of the teacup scattered everywhere, just like her shattered state of mind.
"Stop them after the auction ends!" Xiao Chuhuang's voice was as cold as ice, carrying a chilling edge.
