Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Su Mulan’s Conjecture

Under the guidance of the waiter, the four people quickly arrived at the auction hall.

After arriving here, the waiter led them into a private box.

There was no hall, just private boxes.

The entire auction venue was shaped like a semicircle, with the auction stage in the middle of the semicircle. Those in the boxes could clearly see the stage.

The box was very spacious, almost as large as a large flat apartment.

However, there were not many boxes because those who came here were people of power and influence; others simply had no access.

As Xiao Zhan and the others took their seats, soon, a woman with a graceful figure and refined demeanor walked out.

Wearing an appropriately fitted cheongsam with suitable makeup that complemented her soft facial features, she perfectly displayed the gentle temperament of an Eastern woman.

She didn’t ramble on needlessly; after a simple opening, she directly began the auction of the first lot.

As those who came here were distinguished individuals, there was no need for her to energetically engage the crowd. The connoisseurs would naturally bid high amounts, and if the quality of the auction item was poor, not even her stripping off her clothes would persuade anyone to bid a single copper more.

Women, especially beautiful women, are nothing but high-priced goods in the presence of money.

"The first lot is a Fifth Grade Spiritual Fruit, the Fire Spirit Fruit. Consuming it can enhance one’s Fire Attribute Energy and also offers a certain chance to comprehend a Spirit Manipulation Technique. The starting bid is one million Federation coins; each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand."

As soon as the woman’s voice trailed off, someone immediately called out their bid.

"One million two hundred thousand!"

"One million five hundred thousand!"

"Two million!"

"..."

Money was nothing more than a string of numbers to these people, called out incessantly from the mouths of different individuals.

In no time, the price of this Fifth Grade Fire Spirit Fruit went up to four million Federation coins!

Four million Federation coins already exceeded the inherent value of the Fire Spirit Fruit, but for a Spirit Master of the Fire Attribute, even ten million Federation coins would be worth it.

"Mr. Xiao, won’t you bid for this Fire Spirit Fruit? Miss Ye also has Fire Attribute Energy; it would be a good cultivating fruit for her," Su Mulan said to Xiao Zhan in the room.

Without batting an eyelid, Xiao Zhan indifferently stated, "No need."

No need?

Su Mulan was taken aback.

That was a Fifth Grade Fire Spirit Fruit, an excellent item for cultivation for a Spirit Master and an Artifact Spirit of the Fire Attribute, and he says it’s not necessary?

Wouldn’t you be afraid of your wife pulling your ears for saying that out loud?

She looked towards Ye Youlong, waiting for a dramatic reaction from her.

However, to her astonishment, Ye Youlong showed no response, her expression as calm as still water, as if she hadn’t heard Xiao Zhan’s words at all.

This surprised Su Mulan.

That did not fit Ye Youlong’s style.

She had specifically collected information on Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong and understood them to a certain extent. Logically speaking, even if Ye Youlong wasn’t angry, she should actively want the Fire Spirit Fruit.

Why was there no reaction from her?

And Xiao Zhan’s behavior was strange too. Typically, when such an item appeared, he would proactively buy it for Ye Youlong, so why was he now saying it was unnecessary?

A sudden realization flashed through Su Mulan’s mind as she thought about the matter between Xiao Zhan and Liu Xin. She instantly grasped a horrifying possibility.

Her gaze swept back and forth in shock between Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, and the notion crystallized in her mind at that moment!

"No way, could it be that Ye Youlong and Xiao Zhan don’t love each other anymore?"

She recalled the first time she saw Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong together; Ye Youlong was stern-faced and so was Xiao Zhan. They seemed amicable, but in fact, there was an invisible barrier between them.

She thought it was just an illusion and didn’t pay attention to it. Now, thinking about it, she realized it had been apparent.

It’s over, what now?

Two people who signed a Life and Death Contract and should have been deeply in love seemed to not love each other anymore!

Damn it!

What kind of situation was this?

Such a circumstance was more distressing than having killed the other!

How... how could this have happened?

Suddenly, she turned to look at Liu Xin, her eyes narrowing with a hint of coldness.

Case closed, it must be because of Liu Xin.

Something must have happened, with Xiao Zhan shifting affections, but bound by the Life and Death Contract, he could only maintain appearances!

Damn it, how could her most admired idol be involved in such melodramatic troubles!

No!

She must reconcile the two of them!

She decided that, after the auction ended, she must have a serious talk with Liu Xin!

She could not let her go astray, the official pairing is someone else; doing this would make you a homewrecker!

At this moment, Liu Xin felt a sudden chill and turned to find Su Mulan looking at her.

She thought it was Su Mulan’s puzzlement over Xiao Zhan’s words and said, "Xiao Zhan is right, it’s really not necessary."

What she meant was that the effect of the Fire Spirit Fruit’s Fire Attribute was too weak; compared to the Fire Attribute Energy within Ye Youlong’s body, it wasn’t even on the same level.

To purchase the Fire Spirit Fruit would merely be a waste of money, with no actual benefit to cultivation.

But to Su Mulan’s ears, Liu Xin’s words immediately sounded like they were demeaning Ye Youlong together with Xiao Zhan!

"Damn, Liu Xin, how could you be so bold? Are you declaring your sovereignty to the world?"

No!

She had to stop this.

Aside from not being able to watch her idol struggle in a relationship,

Just considering Liu Xin, who is the vice president of the Mulan Guild, her reputation is tied to the Guild, and such actions would embarrass the whole Guild!

She couldn’t wait to correct Liu Xin’s thoughts.

The Fire Spirit Fruit soon sold for five million.

Following that was the second auction item.

The second lot was a piece of Refining Material, crystal clear like a diamond, and the size of a fist.

But it was a new kind of Refining Material, its specific functions and side effects unknown, and only preliminarily deemed to be of high quality, potentially speeding up the circulation of Spirit Manipulation Energy and enhancing the power of Spirit Manipulation Techniques.

The starting bid was two million Federation coins!

There were fewer bidders for this item.

Being a new material meant that people were naturally cautious of rashly trying it out.

Yet, its strong effects affiliated with the basic mechanics of Spirit Manipulation Energy were enticing. It could be used by anyone, without any attribute restrictions, and applied to any kind of Spirit Manipulation Technique.

Items like this were extremely rare.

Thus, there were still quite a few people who were tempted.

"Three million!" After a few seconds of silence, someone couldn’t help but bid.
