The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1278 Are you still afraid of someone stirring up trouble?

Meeting Long Ling's somewhat expectant gaze, Yun Ran was speechless. Hadn't she already sold him out several times already?

Is it a little too late to ask this question now?

But after thinking about it, Yunran realized that some things didn't need to be said so bluntly, so she carefully considered her words.

"We're on the same side, don't use the word 'sell,' it sounds too offensive. It should be 'I'd do anything for my friends!'"

As soon as Yun Ran finished speaking, Long Ling's initially skeptical gaze immediately turned much more eager.

He said it himself: he was special, and Yunran would sell out everyone else but him.

Seeing Long Ling's completely fooled expression, Chi Yao silently lowered his eyelids, afraid that if he laughed out loud, Long Ling would notice something amiss.

Seeing that the time was right, Yunran finally decided to make a bid.

The building itself has a special concealment function. Yunran speaks normally upstairs, but people downstairs cannot hear Yunran's real voice.

"A remnant soul of an ancient ferocious beast, which can be contracted for a hundred years, plus three fire essences."

If the puppetry and the Ghost King-level ghost servants had already surprised everyone, then what Yun Ran took out now completely stunned them.

In the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), magical artifacts and talismans are already considered very precious.

Natural elements that have become sentient, and the remnants of ancient ferocious beasts, are extremely rare.

Even some powerful and influential families might not possess these things, and even if they did, they would hide them very carefully.

Today, someone actually brought out something that could be considered a family heirloom.

"No wonder he is a distinguished person who can receive the Supreme Invitation. The items he brought out are indeed extraordinary."

"I never imagined that there really were ancient ferocious beasts in this world. I had only heard of them before."

"This kind of profound power is probably only comparable to that of the people from the temple."

……

There was a lot of discussion downstairs, and Yunran could hear it all clearly.

Although most people spoke with envy, there were still some sarcastic remarks mixed in.

However, to Yunran's surprise, these people would actually compare her to that somewhat legendary temple.

It seems that her two attempts have truly impressed many people.

The people from Shenjian Manor were initially quite composed, even hoping that those who held the tokens would fight each other more often so that they could gain more benefits.

But they never expected that the nobleman in the small building would have fire essence in his hands!

That was something their Divine Sword Manor had searched for for many years without success.

With the presence of the Fire Essence, the swords forged by their Divine Sword Manor would likely reach an even higher level.

Young Master Xue glanced at the servant beside him, who immediately turned and walked towards the designated spot.

The person on the stage saw the man wink at him and immediately understood: Young Master, this means you are satisfied with the price offered by the guest upstairs.

He immediately announced loudly, "Is there any other distinguished guest willing to offer a higher price?"

The auctioneer might say something similar during other auctions, but that's usually done to stir things up when prices are close. But now, he's saying this not to get interested people to spend more money.

Rather, it was to create an atmosphere for everyone that Yunran's offer had already crushed everyone else's.

Upon hearing this, Long Ling immediately sensed something was wrong, and her eyes grew colder and colder.

"What are the people from Divine Sword Manor trying to do? Are they trying to provoke us?"

When others were bidding before, the people on stage were like they were mute. Now, they're being used as bait!

Yun Ran rested her chin on one hand and said slowly, "Are you afraid someone will provoke you?"

Long Ling was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.

Wherever he and Yunran are, it seems a bit far-fetched to say that others are stirring up trouble for them.

After all, they used to be known as the "fear of ghosts" by people in the Xuanmen sect.

They're the ones who always stir up hatred and make others grit their teeth in resentment; now they're just being used as pawns, which is a trivial matter.

"That's true. You've done quite a few of these unethical things, so it's really not a big deal if someone does it to you occasionally."

Yunran: ...

Could it be that Long Ling has been hanging out with her for too long, which has made his mouth so sharp?
Unlike the peaceful atmosphere on Yunran's side, the other token holders felt a hint of dissatisfaction upon hearing the hint from the person on the stage.

"What does Divine Sword Manor mean? Does it mean they favor the person who received the invitation from the Supreme One?"

Most of the people who came to Shenjian Manor for the auction this time were unaware that there were special items up for auction.

However, those who held the tokens knew this, and therefore, they had already found out who would be coming.

But they never expected that someone would use the remnant soul of an ancient ferocious beast as their weapon, and one that could even be contracted.

Such a rare and precious opportunity is something they cannot compete with what they have.

But with the treasure right in front of them, it was clearly impossible to just let it slip away.

"Go and find out who the people in that small building are. Also, arrange for more people to ambush them along the way!"

They described murder and robbery as incredibly casual, as if it were as simple as stepping on an ant.

The private rooms are protected by an isolation array. If people inside don't want others to hear them talking, people outside absolutely cannot hear them. However, people outside talking do not affect those inside.

They thought they were safe, but in reality, Yunran and her group heard everything they said.

This is what makes the small building so special; even the owner of the Divine Sword Manor is unaware of it.

Hearing these people's arrogant words, Long Ling immediately laughed: "This is hilarious! Some people actually think they can kill you and steal your treasure."

Moreover, aren't these people a bit too shameless? It seems they've given up on bidding and are trying to get something for nothing.

The nine-headed beast was originally angry with Yun Ran, but upon hearing these words, it immediately came closer.

"Could it be that these are the people who were the ones who ambushed us when we came here?"

Even so, the nine-headed beast was still puzzled. At that time, they hadn't even shown their invitations, so how did those people find them so accurately?

Yunran's gaze immediately fell on the token at her waist. She thought she might know why.
