Nian Ci had no words to describe her feelings at the moment.
She was almost thirty this year, a Houtian martial artist, and that had been achieved through great effort.
And this Qin Xuan was only in his early twenties.
A Grandmaster in his early twenties?
How was that possible?
He must have been practicing martial arts since he was born.
Chu Zifeng narrowed his eyes, and a black-clad elder immediately appeared beside him.
"Young Master, this person's aura is that of a Grandmaster!"
"Grandmaster?" Chu Zifeng frowned.
The elder nodded.
"His internal energy has manifested externally. I can confirm he is a Grandmaster."
"Therefore, Young Master, try to avoid conflict for now. A Grandmaster is quite troublesome."
Chu Zifeng snorted upon hearing this.
"Grandmaster? Does the Chu family not have Grandmasters?"
With that, he directly addressed Qin Xuan opposite him.
"May I ask your honored name?"
"What business is it of yours?" Qin Xuan replied indifferently.
"You!"
Chu Zifeng was utterly enraged.
So what if he was a Grandmaster? While Grandmasters in the Chu family weren't as common as cabbages on the street, there were still quite a few.
"Sir, aren't you being a bit too arrogant? My Chu family also has Grandmasters, and quite a few at that." Chu Zifeng said, his face darkening.
"Grandmasters?" Qin Xuan sneered.
"I don't know how many Grandmasters your family has. All I know is that if I wanted to kill you right now, it would only take a flick of my finger."
"You mother—" Chu Zifeng was about to curse.
The black-clad elder beside him quickly stopped him.
"Young Master, you must not offend that person. My cultivation is only at the Houtian mid-stage. If that person is provoked..."
At this moment, everyone in the auction hall was too stunned to speak.
Or rather, they dared not speak.
There were many martial artists present who had clearly felt Qin Xuan's immense aura.
A Grandmaster!
And beside him, the young master of the Chu family.
Qin Xuan glanced at Chu Zifeng, then continued coldly,
"If you dare to bid again, I guarantee your head will fall from the second floor."
A threat!
A naked threat!
And the target of the threat was the illustrious young master of the Chu family!
Chu Zifeng's eyes turned red, but he dared not speak.
Qin Xuan looked at Nian Ci and said again,
"Miss, please continue."
Nian Ci was stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality.
Even though there was a curtain, she could clearly feel the imposing presence of the person behind it.
He had directly threatened to kill the young master of the Chu family.
Nian Ci swallowed and returned to the topic.
"Mr. Qin from the Yong character private room bids two hundred million. Does anyone wish to bid higher?"
Bid higher?
Impossible.
Who among the attendees dared to bid higher?
That formidable individual from the Yong character private room, who dared to threaten the young master of the Chu family, let alone others.
Silence fell over the venue.
Nian Ci understood the situation perfectly.
"Two hundred million, first call."
"Two hundred million, second call."
"Two hundred million, third call!"
"Sold!"
Nian Ci struck the auction hammer.
Qin Xuan also let out a breath.
Fortunately, he had secured it.
Every extra cent spent would be for Wang Yuyan.
Although it wasn't his, it was no different from his own.
Two hundred million was a considerable asset for Wang Yuyan.
Qin Xuan turned around and saw Ling'er staring at him with her large eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Ling'er said somewhat blankly,
"Brother, you were so fierce just now, threatening to kill someone."
Qin Xuan, thinking he had frightened the girl, prepared to comfort her. However, Ling'er's next sentence left him stunned.
"But Brother, you were so handsome! Just like the male protagonist in a fantasy novel, decisive in killing! Utterly domineering!"
Qin Xuan: "..."
What on earth did this girl's head contain?
Under Qin Xuan's formidable deterrence, he successfully acquired the Spirit Tree.
Chu Zifeng didn't dare to utter a sound.
However, his heart was already ablaze with fury.
