Chapter 39: Xiao Ruoyu's Thoughts

"Two hundred million Superior Spirit Stones!" Xiao Qiu spoke again, gritting his teeth.

Ye Fan's expression remained calm and indifferent as he continued to raise the bid: "Five hundred million Superior Spirit Stones!"

"Hiss—"

The crowd gasped in unison.

This was simply too insane.

Everyone looked toward the 'Hai' private room, their gazes filled with shock and horror.

Five hundred million Superior Spirit Stones!

Who exactly was this kid, and why did he have so much money, acting so overbearingly!

The crowd was inexplicably shocked, and at the same time, even more curious about Ye Fan's identity.

Seeing this, Ye Fan remained unhurried, merely hooking the corner of his mouth into a mocking arc, "Are there any more bids?"

After saying this, he specifically glanced at Xiao Qiu.

Xiao Qiu's face was deathly pale, his eyes spitting fire, and the veins on his forehead bulging.

Ye Fan was intentionally slapping his face, deliberately making it impossible for him to step down.

His heart was filled with raging fire, and he wished he could rush into the 'Hai' private room to kill Ye Fan, but at Tianqiong Auction House, he dared not act recklessly.

"Hmph, kid, today's humiliation will be repaid in the future!"

Xiao Qiu roared in his heart, yet his face wore a faint smile, staring at Ye Fan with a fake, insincere grin.

It was not that he did not want to continue raising the price, but they had only brought five hundred million Superior Spirit Stones.

Ye Fan seemed to have anticipated this outcome, smiling indifferently once more, "If you don't have the money, don't act tough in front of me! Trash!"

At this moment.

He felt incomparably gratified, as if a warm current were flowing through his entire body, leaving him feeling extremely refreshed.

Previously, he had felt extremely stifled facing Su Chen, but now he had finally regained his standing through Xiao Qiu.

This feeling of stepping on someone else, it was damn satisfying!

His extremely arrogant words spread throughout the entire auction hall.

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in everyone's ears.

Everyone widened their eyes, looking at Ye Fan in the 'Hai' private room in disbelief.

He actually dared to call Xiao Qiu trash; he certainly had the guts for it.

"You are courting death!"

Xiao Qiu's face was incredibly red, his eyes bloodshot, and he roared with extreme fury.

He was a core disciple of the Xiao Family; it had always been others who feared him, and never had anyone dared to speak to him like this.

"Slap!"

His fingers gripped the table heavily, looking as if he were ready to pounce and kill at any moment.

"If you aren't convinced, feel free to raise the bid!"

Ye Fan shrugged his shoulders dismissively, his demeanor very arrogant.

Hearing this, Xiao Qiu's face turned pale, his body trembling a few times; his total Spirit Stones amounted to only five hundred million, and he had no more money to raise the bid.

"Why aren't you continuing to bid? Weren't you very wild just now? Keep calling out!" Ye Fan continued to look at Xiao Qiu provocatively.

Hearing Ye Fan's such arrogant words, the others felt a sense of contempt, shaking their heads and sighing one after another.

This young man is likely going to have a miserable time!

Xiao Qiu's expression changed several times, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Consider yourself ruthless, but you just wait for me!"

"Haha..."

"Coward!"

"Trash is just trash!"

"Can't even dare to bid, and he calls himself Young Master Xiao, pfft!"

Ye Fan couldn't help but mock.

Xiao Qiu's expression was uncertain, and finally, he flicked his sleeves fiercely and left the auction hall.

This auction failure did not mean he had admitted defeat.

He was going to make arrangements, wait for Ye Fan outside the Tianqiong Auction House, and then kill him to seize the treasure!

Inside the 'Hai' private room, Xia Qingxue and Xiao Ruoyu, seeing Ye Fan standing there so wild and uninhibited, carried away by his success, both revealed looks of disdain on their faces.

"Tch, it's just winning a broken Jade Pendant, what's there to be proud of." Xia Qingxue curled her lips, looking at him with utter disgust.

Xiao Ruoyu didn't say anything; her personality was gentle and elegant, and she never argued with anyone.

Hearing this, Ye Fan glanced sideways at Xia Qingxue, "Big-breasted, brainless woman."

"What did you say!"

Xia Qingxue's willow eyebrows stood upright, her eyes widened in anger, and she shouted furiously.

"I said you are big-breasted and brainless!" Ye Fan retorted without any courtesy; in any case, Xia Qingxue was not his woman.

"You!"

Xia Qingxue's pretty face turned red, and she was so angry she couldn't speak.

"Qingxue, don't lower yourself to the level of such a person."

Seeing Ye Fan bullying Xia Qingxue, Xiao Ruoyu hurriedly advised.

Although she had a good personality, she could not tolerate anyone bullying her close friend.

"Sister Ruoyu, he is too hateful."

Xia Qingxue pouted and said angrily, "My husband Su Chen didn't take a fancy to that incomplete Jade Pendant, otherwise how could it have fallen to him?"

Su Chen!

Hearing the two words "Su Chen," Ye Fan's pupils shrank sharply, and his expression changed drastically.

He had been carried away by his success just now and had overlooked Su Chen.

Although he possessed over one billion Superior Spirit Stones and could crush Xiao Qiu, in front of Su Chen, these Spirit Stones were simply not enough to look at.

What he worried about most was Su Chen interfering in the bidding for this Incomplete Jade Pendant.

Truly, the thing one fears most is exactly what happens.

"One billion Superior Spirit Stones!"

Suddenly, Su Chen's voice came from outside.

His voice was very calm, and also very overbearing.

Hearing this, Ye Fan's expression changed violently.

Su Chen had intervened after all!

With a single move, he had directly crushed him, and without the slightest mercy, he had gone straight to the top in one step.

It was as if he were saying: "Competing with me on price, are you, Ye Fan, even worthy? I'll just flip the table in one go and leave you to play in the mud."

Inside the private room, Xia Qingxue and Xiao Ruoyu were also stunned by Su Chen's boundless, domineering voice.

Spending one billion Superior Spirit Stones to take down a crippled Jade Pendant—this was absolutely an act of extreme extravagance!

"My husband is the most domineering man under heaven."

Xia Qingxue glanced at Ye Fan and said disdainfully, "In front of my husband, you aren't even worth as much as dregs!"

She was now so infatuated with Su Chen that she had completely fallen for him.

"You—"

Her words had clearly stung the pride of the highly self-esteemed Ye Fan.

Unfortunately, he had no way to retort now, because Su Chen had called out a price of one billion, which he could not afford.

Meanwhile, the beautiful eyes of Xiao Ruoyu, who was to the side, shimmered with brilliance. For some reason, Xiao Ruoyu had suddenly become curious about Su Chen.

Although she was the eldest daughter of the Xiao Family, it was still impossible for her to spend one billion Superior Spirit Stones at will.

She couldn't help but glance at Ye Fan, comparing him to Su Chen in her heart.

Upon comparison, she was surprised to discover that the selfish and petty Ye Fan could not be compared to Su Chen at all.

Su Chen was a star in the heavens, born of noble status, with a profound background, formidable strength, and favored by thousands.

Ye Fan, on the other hand, was of commoner origin, obscure, destitute, lonely, and loved to act tough, dreaming of a comeback.

One in the heavens, one in the earth; a world of difference.

It was no wonder Xia Qingxue had eventually surrendered beneath Su Chen; Su Chen was too masculine, making her willing to set aside her former arrogance and devote herself heart and soul to Su Chen.

If she were forced to choose between the two men, Su Chen and Ye Fan, she wouldn't even need to think before making the same choice as Xia Qingxue.

This wasn't to say she was materialistic; this was a wise choice that any normal woman would make.

"Sigh, this is the gap!"

Looking at Ye Fan, who stood there like a beast provoked by someone, Xiao Ruoyu sighed with emotion.

Her thoughts drifted away.
