After Du Yu took away the first treasure, Zhu Liren said to the others.
"Since one of the treasures has been picked out, the starting price of the remaining two pieces has been changed to 25,000 gold. Each increase in price will still not be less than 1,000 gold. Starting now."
Although only two of the three treasures were left, everyone's enthusiasm for bidding was still unabated, but after all, most people were rushing towards the sword cultivator of the third level of martial arts.
Now that the one of the three treasures that is most likely to make a big profit is gone, the increase in bidding is not as intense as before.
In the end, the person who won the second choice treasure bid 35,000 gold. However, this person was not Zhou Ying, because Yun Yan stopped her in time this time.
"Brother Yan, I can bid now."
Zhou Ying looked at Yun Yan helplessly, as if asking Yun Yan not to miss this last chance again.
Fortunately, Yun Yan heard Zhu Liren announce that the starting price of the last treasure was only 10,000 gold, so he reluctantly nodded.
Because the last remaining item happened to be the storage bag of an alchemist that no one cared about. Maybe everyone thought that as an alchemist at the beginning of martial arts, he could only refine some third-level elixirs.
The value of most of these elixirs does not exceed one hundred gold. Therefore, the risk for them to spend more than ten thousand gold to gamble on whether they will make a profit is too great, and it is not worth trying at all.
Therefore, the bidding price for the last treasure finally stopped at 25,000 gold. Seeing this, Zhou Ying shouted happily to the audience.
"Twenty-six thousand gold, I want it."
However, just when Zhou Ying thought her wish was finally coming true, the familiar voice came from the private room next door to them again.
"Thirty thousand gold."
When Zhou Ying heard this, she almost couldn't help but kick the wall between them. She raised her eyebrows and asked angrily.
"Who are you, and why do you come to me every time I want something?"
Hearing Zhou Ying's question, a faint response came from the next door.
"Maybe we want exactly the same thing."
"You...are so good, I still don't believe it."
Zhou Ying was so angry that she could hardly speak, but when she thought about her last chance being taken away, she couldn't keep calm.
As a result, Zhou Ying suddenly turned around and was about to shout to the auction platform when Yun Yan stood up immediately and covered her mouth, then whispered something in her ear.
Suddenly, Zhou Ying's expression fell into confusion.
"You said she was..."
"Shh..."
Yun Yan quickly signaled her to keep quiet, because Su Xuan refused to show up, so she had her own reasons, and since he had already guessed her identity, he couldn't embarrass her.
After Zhou Ying learned that the person sitting next door turned out to be Su Xuan, she looked at Yun Yan with a puzzled face. Although she didn't speak, Yun Yan could already see the clues from her shy and beautiful eyes.
Therefore, he explained to Zhou Ying after turning on the sound avoidance array.
"This is an agreement between me and her, and I promised her not to leak this secret, so I didn't tell you the truth."
Zhou Ying was silent for a long time after hearing this. In the end, she just nodded lightly.
"Well, I understand."
Yun Yan understood that Zhou Ying would definitely think that she had been deceived by Su Xuan, so she was angry. However, because it was during the day when she met Su Xuan, she did not get angry immediately.
So, Yun Yan explained again.
"Her willingness to help is exactly what we need. If we hadn't had such an idea from the beginning, we might still have reasons to refuse now.
However, the matter has come to this, and you don’t want our hard-won success to be ruined because of impulse. "
Zhou Ying understood the truth behind this, but she just couldn't accept it for the moment. At the same time, deep down in her heart, she was inevitably a little worried.
Because Su Xuan was so outstanding, Zhou Ying felt that she had no power to fight back in front of her, and she couldn't even save her most beloved man.
But if Yun Yan's heart has completely fallen, then no matter how hard she struggles, she can't recover.
Therefore, Zhou Ying could only speak silently.
"Since you said so, I will definitely listen to you, but at what price is she willing to help us?"
Yun Yan immediately answered frankly.
"Actually, I don't know. Although I know what she and I have said, it seems that Manager Su's intention is not to get actual benefits from us immediately.
Of course, it does not rule out that she appreciates my abilities and hopes that I can repay my kindness in the future. However, my speculation lacks sufficient evidence.
As you know, I am not good at communicating with women, let alone a woman as beautiful as her. "
Zhou Ying knew very well that Yun Yan was always more rational than intuitive at night, so she did not dwell on what was going on between Yun Yan and Su Xuan.
So, she asked instead.
"Then how will we explain this matter to my elder brother after we go back?"
Of course Yun Yan had thought about this issue, because the agreement between Su Xuan and him did not include the Beishan Mine.
In other words, Su Xuan's decision to help was entirely due to her willingness to pay unilaterally, and this situation will not change at least for a long time in the future.
Therefore, Yunyan said frankly.
"It's best to just wait and see what happens. In fact, I didn't know until I met Manager Su that our plan was simply impossible to realize."
"Why?"
Zhou Ying asked with a puzzled look on her face, because she was sure that her and Yunyan's previous plan was perfect. She even thought that if the Beishan Mine could form an alliance with Auction City, it would be able to compete with Tianque in the future, not to mention surpassing the Kyushu Alliance. It's not impossible.
However, Yun Yan's words surprised her.
"Because in this seemingly fair transaction, we don't have equal bargaining chips at all. Let's not talk about anything else. Just because Director Su's cultivation is not lower than the peak of the martial arts realm, we can't compete with her. Comparable."
"What?! Are you saying that her cultivation has reached the peak of the martial arts realm?"
After careful consideration, Yun Yan nodded affirmatively and replied.
"I have copied her life soul talent before. With my current cultivation level, I cannot sense the upper limit of her cultivation level at all. However, judging from her understanding of the battle path and her application techniques, it is very likely that she has broken through. Entered the Xuantian realm.
But such a person is willing to succumb to the third heaven. I think if she is not looking for an opportunity, she must have had no choice but to do so.
But these things are all my inferences, and we all have reservations about each other, so I'm not entirely sure why she did this.
Therefore, before we understand her true purpose, it is better not to alarm your elder brother. After all, the things involved may have exceeded the limit that your elder brother, and even the entire Beishan Mine, can bear. "
After hearing Yun Yan's explanation, Zhou Ying suddenly felt that she was too naive. Similarly, she was also shocked by Yun Yan's profound understanding.
Zhou Ying asked seriously.
"Brother Yan, when did you become so thoughtful? I feel like I don't even recognize you.
I didn’t expect that you’d only been awake for a few months, but you could perceive your surroundings so finely. Could this be related to your life soul talent? "
Yunyan didn't know why he had such keen insight. It might be that he had experienced some severe survival test in the past, which forced him to learn the ability to adapt to a strange environment as soon as possible.
But he still had no reservations about Zhou Ying and only listened to Yun Yan speak quietly.
"Losing the memory of the past may not be a bad thing, because I found that if I bear too much burden, I may not be able to complete the unification of the soul talent in the limited time.
Therefore, it is most likely that the reason why I am like this is a self-defense instinct produced by the origin of life soul in the process of evolution. Its purpose is to allow me to successfully pass a certain stage of the cultivation period. "
After hearing Yun Yan's story, Zhou Ying fell into cognitive confusion because she was completely unable to understand what Yun Yan's soul talent meant.
There was even a moment when Zhou Ying suddenly thought that Yun Yan might be the destined person who would change everything.
Just this thought flashed through her mind. When Zhou Ying finally returned to reality, she couldn't help but said a little discouraged.
"Brother Yan, do you think there will be a day when Ying'er can no longer keep up with you? If that time comes, will you leave Ying'er alone?"
When Zhou Ying said this, she already had the answer in her heart.
But she still wanted to hear Yun Yan tell a beautiful lie for her. Even if she had to spend the rest of her life in this lie, she would have no regrets.
However, Yunyan, who is under the light wheel, may fulfill her wish, but it is night now, so Yunyan will still answer Zhou Ying's question according to his heart.
But just when he was about to speak, a treasure in the auction house suddenly caught his attention.
But Zhu Liren announced to everyone.
"The blood-drinking soul below is the seventh treasure of this night bidding fair, and the person who provided the blood-drinking soul is Mr. Du Yu from the Flame City.
Although this treasure is only an intermediate treasure, it has a perfect effect on removing some special life soul toxins.
Of course, due to the limited grade of the blood-drinking soul and its single use, Mr. Du gave a base price of 10,000 gold, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 gold. "
After hearing Zhu Liren's introduction, Yun Yan didn't know why, but always felt that he had to get this blood-drinking soul.
However, Zhou Ying on the side had already noticed something strange about Yun Yan, so she suddenly smiled excitedly.
"Brother Yan, it turns out this is what you want."
So, Zhou Ying immediately said to Zhu Liren on the court.
"I'll pay twenty thousand gold."
Hearing that Zhou Ying doubled the price, everyone thought that this treasure would be useful to her, so no one present made any more bids.
After all, this thing is useless to most people, but just when Zhou Ying thought she could easily pocket this treasure, Meng Zirou in the Accord opposite suddenly spoke.
"Twenty-five thousand gold!"
Some people died, but not completely...
