"101 low-grade spirit stones."
"102 low-grade spirit stones."
"..."
"Is no one going to bid more? These items might be a good catch, you know. Especially this lantern, for someone with a fire affinity, it might bring some surprises. Who knows?"
As only two people from the entire auction house bid for the three items, the situation suddenly turned awkward.
In fact, even those two only bid to give face to the Mystic Exchange Alliance.
But when Yan Xi didn't conclude the deal but waited as if greedy for more, their face turned black.
However, even if such was the case, Yan Xi didn't immediately stop the bidding and instead tried pitching once more, her eyes clearly drifting toward a certain room on the first floor.
It was clear that she was waiting for someone dear to her to bid and take her gift just as she intended.
"Aren't you going to bid?"
The soul body of Master Xueyin asked Tianyu, who was sitting with a black face, completely silent.
It was clear that he didn't want to bid for that item at all.
"I suggest you don't waste too much time. Otherwise, it is highly possible that the girl won't continue the auction. She might even do something outrageous."
"Besides, that lantern is quite useful for you now."
Master Xueyin advised lightly, and she wasn't joking. Although Yan Xi looked like a sweet girl smiling all the time for now, when her emotions were aroused, she could turn into a demon.
Especially if she saw Tianyu with another girl, then...
That was why Tianyu directly rejected Mei Xuan's offer at the gate, as he didn't want to hurt her.
"Sigh... why is she so obsessed and controlling? Do I need her help to become a powerful person? What does she think of me?"
Tianyu mumbled while rubbing his aching head, as he hated having a yandere sugar mommy with all his heart.
"Sigh...If only she were as sweet as Xuan'er..."

Even though he complained, he still straightened up, ready to bid, as he could already hear the gossip from the crowd below about why Yan Xi didn't drop this bid yet.
"Two hundred low-grade spirit stones."
"Hmm?"
However, before Mo Tianyu could speak, a loud voice echoed throughout the auction venue from the room just beside him.
"Zhiran? What is he doing?"
The moment he heard the voice, Tianyu, of course, recognized it immediately. But that only made him puzzled.
After all, Zhiran wasn't aware of Yan Xi's situation.
Not to mention, even if he was, the Blazing Heart Lantern was of no use to him, as he didn't possess a Sun Body.
The dormant solar flame inside could only be absorbed by him alone.
It wasn't only him who was surprised by the sudden bid. The entire crowd was stunned that some idiot actually bid double for that junk.
Who had so much money to throw around like that?
For a moment, everyone was curious until...
"Mo Zhiran? Is that you?"
Yan Xi's eyes widened in surprise as Zhiran suddenly appeared on the stage.
It seemed that after bidding for the three artifacts, he didn't stay in his room but came straight here instead.
"Haha... Miss Yan Xi, long time no see. I never thought I'd meet you here like this. Fate truly is mysterious, isn't it?"
Zhiran laughed lightly at the surprise on her face. Then, without letting her reply, he immediately pointed at the three artifacts in front and said,
"I think it's best to end the bidding now, isn't it? I doubt anyone else is interested in these besides me."
He smiled faintly, gesturing toward the items.
Although Zhiran wanted to seize the opportunity meant for Mo Tianyu, he also knew it wouldn't be so easy.
After all, he knew Yan Xi wanted Tianyu to bid.
"Mmm...wait...is there anyone who wants to bid further?"
Sure enough, although Yan Xi seemed surprised by his sudden appearance, she didn't finalize the deal as he suggested.
Instead, her gaze shifted toward the room where Tianyu was, her face gradually darkening.
Zhiran, standing close by, could already feel her Foundation Establishment aura spreading out, its pressure instantly distorting the air around him.
Yan Xi was angry.
Not at him, but at someone who wasn't speaking even now.
'Why isn't he bidding? The Blazing Heart Lantern can clearly improve his Sun Body physique. I used so many connections to find such a weird item.'
Yan Xi thought, feeling extremely sad,
'He said he didn't like someone giving him a gift for free. So, I made a perfect stage for him to claim this treasure fair and square with his head held high. But... he still doesn't want it?'
She thought, biting her nail anxiously,
'Why? I'm clearly thinking about him. Did he find... someone else in the sect?'
The more she thought, the more restless her mind became; her aura thickened with each passing moment. Even those in the front rows sensed that something was wrong.
'Damn it... I shouldn't have listened to him and let him come here. It would've been better to keep him locked in a room.'
Just as Yan Xi's thoughts were turning dangerous, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind, awakening her from her stupor,
'Sister-in-law, it isn't good to lose your cool like this.'

It was Zhiran, who quickly transmitted his voice into her mind to stop her from going berserk.
When he saw that Yan Xi was looking at him, he then immediately added with a smile,
'Besides, don't you think my appearance here is weird? Why do you think I'm bidding for this worthless junk for 200 low-grade spirit stones anyway?'
Zhiran said.
'Sister-in-law, let's complete the bid for now. Don't worry, I'll give Tianyu the Blazing Heart Lantern just as you intended. It isn't useful to me anyway.'
At last, he directly mentioned the origin of the lantern, surprising Yan Xi in the process.
'So, you really knew... did he tell you?'
Sure enough, when Yan Xi heard Zhiran knew the origin of the lantern in her hand, she immediately believed most of his words.
'I'm so stupid. Tianyu might be using Mo Zhiran, his clan brother, to bid for these items. Sigh... I misjudged him again.'
Yan Xi admonished herself while smiling sweetly at the room above, dissipating her increasingly cold aura in a jiffy.
"Okay, since there's no one else to bid for this stuff, the bid is won by this gentleman for 200 low-grade spirit stones."
Once her thoughts became clear and she realized she had misjudged her Tianyu, Yan Xi immediately concluded the bid while simultaneously giving the item to Zhiran, smiling in front.
"Thank you!"
Zhiran readily received the three items with a smile and gave 200 low-grade spirit stones as payment.
'Don't forget to give the Blazing Heart Lantern to Tianyu immediately. It's best to absorb those dormant solar flames before they dissipate.'
Just as he was about to leave the premises, he heard Yan Xi's soft words in his mind. Even now, she was still thinking about Mo Tianyu.
'Of course, Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll definitely give it to him as soon as this auction is over.'
Zhiran smiled and readily accepted her suggestion before returning to his room with a big grin.
He didn't lie to Yan Xi, as he would definitely return it to Tianyu just as she intended.
Just... the form might not be the same as she thought.
