Chapter 167: Chapter 166: What’s Wrong with Having Niche Aesthetics and Hobbies? (Part 2)
For someone like Yun Ran, who often fought with Evil Cultivators and would even capture one every few days, the Evil Cultivators of this world were a bit too ’cautious.’
They stayed hidden all the time, and it left Yun Ran with no opportunity to practice, which was somewhat frustrating to her.
"What are you looking at?"
Taoist Xia noticed that Yun Ran had suddenly quieted down, looking at her with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.
In Taoist Xia’s mind, Yun Ran was the type of person who, once quiet, was definitely up to something.
"Nothing, just looking around!"
But just after saying this, Yun Ran furrowed her brow slightly because she noticed a familiar face in the foremost position on the first floor.
The Ginsengfruit also noticed, its voice somewhat shocked: "Holy crap, why is that hothead Yun Wan here too?"
"That’s not Yun Wan, that’s Yun Qing!"
Although the sisters looked very similar, it was hard for most people to tell them apart unless they spoke.
But Yun Ran was an exception; she recognized at a glance that it was Yun Qing.
Originally attending a prestigious school in M Country, Yun Qing now appeared at the auction in Yinghua Country, with someone dressed in Yinghua Country attire sitting beside her.
"This Yun Qing is the smartest and the most heartless person in the Yun Family, aside from Yun Jinyang. Yet sometimes, when these smart people cause trouble, the destruction is extraordinary."
Yun Ran narrowed her eyes. Although she wasn’t particularly fond of the Yun Family, she didn’t want the Yun Family’s ship to capsize just yet.
She immediately took out her phone, photographed Yun Qing, and sent it to Yun Jinyang to let the Yun Family handle their affairs themselves.
No matter what Yun Qing was scheming, it ultimately relied on her identity as the second daughter of the Yun Family. Once you cut off the source of the Yun Family’s conveniences for her, she couldn’t stir up much trouble.
Yun Qing, who was fervently forming connections with Xiyeno Natsuo, had no idea that with just one photo, Yun Ran had ruined the great situation she’d been building abroad for nearly half a year.
Yun Jinyang was in a meeting when he received the notification. The special tone prompted him to break protocol and pause the meeting.
The people in the conference room, hearing Yun Jinyang’s words, were basically sure that this was a message from the third miss.
Nowadays, everyone in the Yun Family knew that the third miss had turned the tables.
From the upper management of the company to the janitors, everyone remembered Yun Ran’s face very well, fearing they might offend the third miss.
Yun Jinyang opened his phone, saw the photo Yun Ran sent, not a word more than needed, yet it didn’t stop his expression from darkening.
The Yun Family had international businesses. After graduating from a prestigious school abroad, Yun Jinyang had trained in overseas companies for several years, becoming familiar with many well-known families in other countries.
The photo’s angle was well chosen, capturing both Yun Qing’s and Xiyeno Natsuo’s faces clearly.
Especially since Xiyeno Natsuo was wearing Yinghua Country attire with totems that made it obvious she was from the Xiyeno Family without needing much effort.
Back when he was expanding the market overseas, he had exerted significant effort to seize large orders, and his competitors included people from the Xiyeno Family.
However, the Xiyeno Family, after suffering a crushing defeat, couldn’t handle losing and even hired a hitman to kill him. Fortunately, his close friend was a prince from Y Country and resolved the issue for him.
Unexpectedly, his own sister was entangled with members of the Xiyeno Family, giving Yun Jinyang a sense of being stabbed in the back.
Yun Jinyang did not doubt Yun Ran’s motives for sending the photo, nor did he think Yun Ran was trying to sow discord.
After suppressing his anger, he sent Yun Ran an "acknowledged" emoji in return.
After making a few phone calls, all of Yun Qing’s cards were frozen, and even her related overseas company positions were suspended.
This kind of thing would have been impossible before.
Who could have thought that the Yun Family’s head, just because of a WeChat message from the Yun Family’s unfavored child, would strip the Yun Family’s legitimate second daughter of all power.
After sending the message, Yun Ran paid it no more mind.
At this moment, her gaze was fixed on the large screen next to her, clearly displaying the details of various auction items, her eyes full of fervor.
It’s safe to say that when the atmosphere builds to a crescendo, the blood boils, and people really get carried away.
After Yun Ran photographed another strange-looking ornament, Taoist Xia clung tightly to the auction paddle, determined not to let Yun Ran touch it.
"We’re here to bid for the Nine Yang Grass, not to squander money. If you bought something good, that would be one thing, but look at what you just bought!"
Yun Ran groaned.
What’s wrong with having a slightly niche taste and preference? The key thing is, it’s cheap!
The people around them who had been a bit wary of this young duo couldn’t help but look at Yun Ran with complicated expressions as she repeatedly bought ’rare items’ that had previously gone unsold.
They seemed a bit puzzled, wondering when this young girl’s eyesight had gone bad.
Fortunately, the auction for the Nine Yang Grass began, finally diverting the embarrassing stares.
Many who came to the auction were eyeing the Nine Yang Grass. Yun Ran immediately took on the responsibility of keeping an eye out to prevent anyone from pulling tricks.
Until now, when Taoist Xia watched Yun Ran enthusiastically buy rare items, he managed to stay calm. But now, when it was his turn, he was no less excited, constantly raising the bid. freewebnøvel.coɱ
In no time, the price had soared to 5 billion. Yun Ran glanced at the screen, looking at what appeared to be a malnourished weed.
Those unfamiliar would probably step on it, who could have thought it was worth so much?
Money had genuinely stopped being money; it was just numbers—numbers casually increased.
Yun Ran came back to her senses from her previous fervor, observing the crowd with calm and restraint.
She quickly noticed at least five or six groups clearly causing trouble, some deliberately raising prices, others sneakily watching them.
Some even went so far as to activate a small array within the venue, clearly intending to muddy the waters.
When the price for the Nine Yang Grass reached 10 billion, only about a third fewer bidders remained compared to before.
Yun Ran thought it would probably take a while to reach the ’end game.’
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out from downstairs.
"30 billion!"
Yun Ran looked over, just as she thought, it was the woman next to Yun Qing.
Before, Taoist Xia had guessed that the price wouldn’t be cheap, so he brought all his savings, borrowed money from others, and combined it with what he got from Yun Ran, totaling 40 billion.
Now it seemed they might be kicked out of the game prematurely.
