"Wow! That's crazy! 5,500 medium-grade Spiritual Stones for a painting! That's ridiculous! "
"I didn't expect this! This Miao Family's young master has always kept a low profile! I can't believe that he's going to make a name for himself! "
"That's right! Raising the price by 1,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones in one go is just too overbearing! "
"Maybe there's something special about this painting. If not, Miao Yiyue wouldn't have made such a bold move!"
The crowd was also very curious about Miao Yiyue's motive.
Chen Xiaobei had the same feeling. Though he had not spent much time with Miao Yiyue, Chen Xiaobei was certain that he was not a reckless person.
Now that he had suddenly raised the price in such a drastic way, it was obvious that he did not just love the painting.
Indeed!
Lu Changwei then revealed the truth. "Brother Miao, you're so bold! If this was any other time, I wouldn't compete with you!
"But it's different this time. Everyone knows that the Core Grand Elder's birthday banquet is coming soon, and this' A Ride As A Thousand Paintings' is the best birthday gift!"
As long as we present this painting to him, he will definitely be happy! "
Lu Changwei waved his hand and shouted, "6,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! If any of you still want to compete with me, I will accompany you to the end! "
Upon hearing that, the crowd gasped again.
Other than being shocked by Lu Changwei's bid, the crowd was also shocked by the purpose of competing with him for this painting!
"The grand elder! Is Master Lu talking about the grand elder of the temple? "
"That's a super elite that can dominate the entire Northern Wilderness! His strength is enough to make him into the top five on the Northern Wilderness Stargod Leaderboard! "
"So, this painting is a birthday gift for the grand elder! No wonder those nobles are trying so hard to get their hands on it! "
"But then again, the Lu Family is really filthy rich! 6,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones is going to be enough to scare the other three families away! "
Everyone was discussing among themselves. While they were shocked, they also felt that the auction was coming to an end.
After all, the four Star Temples might be rich but not all of their assets were Spiritual Stones. It would be difficult for them to fork out 6,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones in one go.
As expected, Wei Ruilong was the first to surrender. He said sourly, "The South Town Lu Clan is indeed not simple. Their ability to make money is definitely the best among the four Star Temples. My Wei Clan can't compare …"
"Heh, Brother Wei, if you want to admit defeat, just say it. Why do you have to talk about such irrelevant things?"
Lu Changwei put on a cocky smile and said, "Everyone knows how powerful the Lu family is! Other than our wealth, the strongest elites in Silver Plume were all from our family! If my Lu Family doesn't become the head of the four Star Palaces, who else can? "
Wei Ruilong was rendered speechless by Lu Changwei's words. He knew that Lu Changwei was acting tough, but he could not refute him.
After all, the truth was right before their eyes!
The Lu Family had produced three demigods, starting from the Grand Elder.
When it came to the younger generation, Lu Changwei's cultivation had surpassed all of his peers on Silver Plume Planet.
There was really nothing wrong with Lu Changwei's bragging.
Chen Xiaobei was annoyed to see the Lus acting so arrogantly, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Lu Changwei was the real deal.
"The Lu Family is so powerful. I need to find a way to improve my cultivation! If not, when will I be able to avenge Little Fox? "
Chen Xiaobei could not help but feel a sense of urgency.
Even though his cultivation had improved very quickly, there was still a huge gap between him and his enemies. He had to work harder!
He had to avenge Little Fox! And he had to resurrect her as soon as possible!
Before that, all he had to do was to work harder, harder, and harder! That was the only way to improve his cultivation!
…
The crowd was silent. It was as if they had been hurt by Lu Changwei's arrogance. They had no choice but to give in to reality.
"I'm out as well!"
Qin Luo's face darkened. "Actually, I can still fight for it. However, at this price, even if I can please the Grand Elder, I might not be able to get anything in return. It's fine if I don't fight for it!"
"Haha! A wise man submits to the circumstances! "
Lu Changwei laughed arrogantly. "Since none of you can compete with me, it's the wisest decision to back out now!"
Though Wei Ruilong and Qin Luo were born and bred in Silver Plume, they were so humiliated by Lu Changwei that they could not even raise their heads.
"Ms. Fei Xuan! Let's announce the deal! Everyone's time is precious. Let's move on to the next item! "Lu Changwei smiled victoriously at the beautiful woman on the stage.
"Master Lu, please don't rush. Master Miao hasn't said anything yet! "
Fei Xuan pursed her lips and smiled. She looked so cute that Lu Changwei was too embarrassed to rush her.
Upon hearing that, everyone turned to look at Miao Yiyue.
Everyone was hoping that Miao Yiyue would amaze the world once again and put Lu Changwei's arrogance to shame!
However, Miao Yiyue did not make a move.
From the deep frown on his face, it was obvious that he did not have enough Spiritual Stones to compete with Lu Changwei.
What he did earlier was just a gamble. Showing off his bargaining chip meant that he had set a price. Now, it all depended on whether or not the deal would be closed.
Since Lu Changwei had set a price higher than Miao Yiyue's, it meant that Miao Yiyue had lost.
However, Miao Yiyue did not want to admit defeat. His eyes were filled with unwillingness as he stubbornly stood his ground.
"Ms. Fei Xuan, it's not that I don't want Miao Yiyue to say anything. He's just too embarrassed to say anything!"
Lu Changwei laughed mockingly. "Miao Yiyue has always been inferior to me! No matter what I do, I can always beat him! As long as I, Lu Changwei, am around, Miao Yiyue will always be number two! Hahaha … "
Upon hearing that, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.
"Lu Changwei, what a slap to the face! How could he insult Miao Yiyue in front of so many people? How much hatred does he have? "
"That's just how Lu Changwei is. Who asked him to be so powerful? Whoever among the younger generation doesn't like him, he will beat them down! If Wei Ruilong and Qin Luo admit defeat, then everything will be fine. But if Miao Yiyue doesn't, then he will be insulted! "
"If that's the case, then Lu Changwei is being too petty! Even if he's powerful, he shouldn't bully others! "
"Sigh … This is a world where the strong rule. He is powerful and has a powerful backer. Of course, he can bully whoever he wants!"
…
Everyone was very unhappy with Lu Changwei's behavior but no one dared to voice out their dissatisfaction.
Fei Xuan could not help but look at Miao Yiyue apologetically. If she had not said anything, Lu Changwei would not have had the chance to humiliate Miao Yiyue.
"Since no one is going to raise the price, then I hereby announce …"
Fei Xuan said solemnly, "This' A Ride As A Thousand Paintings' is sold for 6,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones!"
After the deal was finalized, Lu Changwei was about to celebrate.
Chen was the first to open his mouth and say something that would shock everyone to death.
