This feeling... so satisfying!

Lin Feng glanced inexplicably at the delighted Tangyuan, unsure of what the little fellow was imagining again.

"Feng Modao, still the same old temper." A deep voice sounded as a young man in a blue brocade robe stepped into the auction hall, followed by two maids. Glancing at the three already in the VIP area, he walked over and sat down quickly: "I heard there are a lot of good things in this auction, have you all prepared enough money?"

Feng Modao glanced at him but said nothing, while Young Master Lu merely fanned himself twice, ignoring the young man.

Surrounded by beauties, Mo Yunxi snorted coldly, "Ye Lang, don’t think you’re all that just because your Ye Family is rich. Let me tell you..."

"Oh, is your Mo Family richer than my Ye Family?" Ye Lang looked at Mo Yunxi and said, "Having money isn’t anything special, but at the auction, if my Ye Family has more money than your Mo Family, then that’s a big deal. If you don’t like it, throw money to crush me."

"You!" Mo Yunxi was furious, took two deep breaths, and then sneered at Ye Lang, "Rich? Yes, your Ye Family is indeed wealthy and has deep pockets, but don’t forget, there’s someone who’s not here yet! In Ning City, your Ye Family isn’t the richest!"

With these words, the room fell silent.

Except for Feng Modao, who continued to examine his long knife, the other two young masters showed a flash of anger. That one family was a tremendous pressure on the other families in Ning City, undoubtedly the top family here!

All along, aside from Feng Modao, who’s only focused on cultivation, the other three young masters have always been overshadowed by that Shang Family’s young master, and now Mo Yunxi brought up the Shang Family, rubbing salt in their wounds!

"Mo, you’ve crossed the line." Young Master Lu said with a cold face, "Using the name of that Shang family to suppress others, have you forgotten the humiliation you suffered from the Shang Family’s young master?"

After saying those words, Mo Yunxi regretted it in his heart. Although there have always been frictions among the four of them, they have always stood united against the Shang Family’s young master. Unexpectedly, in anger, he spoke without thinking this time and said the wrong thing.

But hearing Young Master Lu’s words, his anger rose again, unwilling to show weakness: "What, you can lose but can’t accept being talked about? If that’s how you are, then I’m really disappointed."

"Hahaha, I like to hear that. Anyway, you all have lost to me. None of you can compare to me, so what’s the harm in saying it?" An arrogant voice suddenly resonated in the auction hall, following Mo Yunxi’s words, "Or are you saying your Ye Family has more money and power than my Shang Family?"

Everyone’s gaze immediately shifted towards the direction of the voice, only to see a wealthy young master wearing a jade crown, a brocade robe, and a golden belt, half-lying on a chair carried by four attendants. Next to him were eight girls, some offering him fruit, some massaging his shoulders and back, others standing by with a teapot at the ready...

Beside the maids, two tall guards stood, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, causing every loose cultivator caught by their gaze to shiver involuntarily.

This scene made Little Tangyuan envious, wishing he could swap places with that wealthy young master immediately to enjoy being attended to by so many people. This is life, this is luxury! When can I, this beast, enjoy such a luxury?

Seeing the gleam in Tangyuan’s eyes, Lin Feng laughed and knocked the little fellow on the head, "Alright, what silly things are you imagining again? Sit tight and wait for the auction to start."

"Oh, I got it, Boss." Tangyuan hugged his head, shrank his neck, looked enviously once more at the wealthy young master, and then obediently lay on Lin Feng’s shoulder.

Lin Feng didn’t pay much attention to the commotion, but on the other side, the wealthy young master frowned. He had noticed Lin Feng and Tangyuan’s playful interaction, which displeased him greatly. He was Shang Fei, a prominent figure in Ning City. Even the other four families’ young masters would treat him cautiously. Yet here, in the normal district, someone dared to ignore his authority!

Shang Fei glanced at Lin Feng, noticed his attire, and sneered internally. So, he’s a guy who just ascended from the Lower Realm. No wonder he’s so uncultured; it seems I’ll have to properly teach him the rules of the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm.

With such thoughts, Shang Fei stopped paying attention to Lin Feng. After all, this is an auction house, a subsidiary of the Myriad Gods Tower, one of the Three Gods Powers. Even if it’s the number one family in Ning City, it would be seen as mere insects in their eyes. If he causes trouble here, no one in the world could save him.

"Shang Fei, don’t go too far!" Ye Lang coldly said to Shang Fei, "The Shang Family is powerful, but not to the extent of acting recklessly."

"Oh?" Shang Fei, still carried by his attendants, heading towards the VIP area, glanced at Ye Lang, smirked, and said, "And what if I act recklessly in front of you, Young Master Ye? If you’re not satisfied, you can act recklessly in front of me too."

"Money, subordinates, treasures, cultivation... you can choose whatever you want." Shang Fei looked at Ye Lang and said, "The loser kneels and kowtows as a grandson. What do you say, do you dare or not?"

"Hiss..."

The crowd gasped. They really hadn’t expected Shang Fei to be so arrogant and domineering, and so confident. Among Prominent Family disciples, reputation is often what they compete for. For the loser to kowtow and be a grandson is something that can’t be tolerated by Prominent Family disciples. That Shang Fei dared to gamble on this in front of everyone showed he was confident of winning!

So arrogant! Young Master Lu’s folding fan paused, and his fist involuntarily clenched. The same tone, the same conditions brought back everything from half a year ago to Young Master Lu’s mind. He still remembered his embarrassment at that time, his anger, and even now, thinking about it filled him with rage.

It was because of that retreat in front of everyone that the Lu Family fell from the fourth promient family to the fifth. Although the choice he made at the time was the one with the least loss, seeing Shang Fei acting so arrogantly again, a surge of anger inevitably rose in his heart. But he could only endure, facing Shang Fei, the eldest son of the biggest household; he had no choice but to endure.

Mo Yunxi also regretted saying the words earlier. Hearing Shang Fei’s words made her feel fearful and wary. Last time it was Young Master Lu, this time it is Ye Lang, who will it be next time? The four families do have conflicts, but all their conflicts combined can’t match the conflicts with the Shang Family!

Feng Modao merely glanced at Shang Fei, a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing. Although he focused on cultivating and honing his sword skills, he knew not to bring trouble to his family. The Shang Family was an existence they couldn’t contend with among the four families. Endurance was his only option now.

Ye Lang, who was called out, flushed with anger, seething inside. He never expected Shang Fei to make such a proposal. It was entirely coercing him. If he backed down, not only would he lose face, but his Ye Family would also lose face. However, facing Shang Fei, he truly had no confidence in winning.

As the future Family Head of the Shang Family, Shang Fei had far more money and treasures than Ye Lang. In terms of subordinates, Shang Fei was the only prominent family heir among the five who had two Divine Being experts. As for cultivation, Shang Fei had reached the Opening Epoch Realm Peak, a whole level higher than him.

Is it possible that he really has to retreat like Young Master Lu did before?

Ye Lang felt a profound unwillingness inside, but after weighing the options, he sadly realized that against Shang Fei, there were no other choices. Retreat, the only option was to retreat!

With this thought, Ye Lang suppressed his emotions and turned his head away, no longer looking at Shang Fei.

"Oh?" In the VIP area, Shang Fei saw Ye Lang’s reaction, a trace of disdain and pride crossed his lips, "You’re not responding, does that mean you don’t dare? The dignified Young Master of the Ye Family isn’t someone who’s cowardly and fearful, right? Don’t let me down."

Coercion, this was coercing Ye Lang, and coercing the entire Ye Family, suppressing the entire Ye Family! Regardless of how Ye Lang responded, Shang Fei firmly held the upper hand and had absolute confidence in trampling the Ye Family underfoot.

Many loose cultivators and minor powers didn’t dare to breathe loudly, fearing being targeted by Shang Fei and made an example of. Concerning the major families, though Shang Fei remained arrogant and domineering, he wouldn’t do anything too extreme. But he had fewer scruples against these loose cultivators and minor powers.

They all knew that should they do anything displeasing to the Shang Family in Ning City, they’d face crazy retribution after leaving the auction house! The Shang Family was virtually the sky of Ning City!

So audacious. Little Tangyuan looked at Shang Fei with some displeasure. He despised such arrogant young masters from small places the most, especially those who behaved arrogantly in front of him. Hmm, if only he could become such a young master, that would be delightful!

Lin Feng frowned upon hearing Shang Fei’s arrogant words. He never liked such arrogant and domineering people. However, since the target was only a few members of other major families and he wasn’t one to stir up trouble, he paid little mind despite feeling a slight displeasure.

Ye Lang’s fury almost reached its peak. Now, he was in a bind, speak or remain silent, both were unfavorable. Admitting defeat and weakness would cause the Ye Family’s prestige to plummet, possibly beyond recovery. Don’t mind the other three families feeling schadenfreude, because once the Ye Family’s prestige waned, they’d surely be the first to act!

Among Prominent Families, there is only interest, no emotions!

Since that’s the case... determination flashed in Ye Lang’s eyes. He coldly glanced at Shang Fei, "Fine, since you want to compete, I’ll compete with you!"

What!

Young Master Lu was stunned, Mo Yunxi’s face suddenly changed, and a commotion arose amongst countless loose cultivators and small family members. Ye Lang’s response took them by surprise, making them momentarily forget about the Shang Family’s terror and Shang Fei’s arrogance, stirred up in a chaotic uproar.

Because Ye Lang’s answer was completely unexpected to them.
