Chapter 1154 - Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir (4) (1/2)

The moment Long Yue finished his speech, everyone suddenly recalled that Grand Tutor Xing Hun’s birthday was in just a few days’ time. No wonder Long Yue would have gone all out to bid for the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir. It was for a present for the Grand Tutor.

Ji Fengyan gazed down at Long Yue, but was in no hurry to reply. She just turned around to look at a stunned Long Xi.

“Your brother is rather crafty.”

“What?” Long Xi had yet to recover his senses from that twenty million bid.

Ji Fengyan chuckled. “I continued bidding against him even though I knew he was the second prince. Now he has brought out the name of the Grand Tutor to suppress me. Isn’t he trying to force me to back off?”

Only after Ji Fengyan pointed it out that Long Xi realized the subtle pressure underlying Long Yue’s words.

Who would dare go against Sa Er’s second prince and Grand Tutor just over a Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir?

“Do you think… I should give in?” Ji Fengyan suddenly asked Long Xi.

Long Xi opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Ji Fengyan smiled.

The entire auction was silent after Long Yue’s statement. Some color returned to his face as he prepared to speak again to secure the owners.h.i.+p of the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir. However, that feminine voice once again rang out.

“Second prince, if you truly wish to present the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir to the Grand Tutor, then you should show some sincerity. There are rules in the Xinyue Auction House—as customers, how can we presume to break those rules as and when we please? If the Second Prince offers another bid, I will not outbid you to comply with your wishes.” Every word was spoken clearly in a voice laced with amus.e.m.e.nt.

But those words caused further humiliation to Long Yue.

Would he have needed to bring out the name of the Grand Tutor if he could take out twenty million gold pieces in the first place?

He had wanted to force his opponent’s hand, but ended up digging his own grave.
