Chapter 167 What's wrong with having niche aesthetic tastes and hobbies? (2 updates)
For Yun Ran, who used to frequently fight against evil cultivators and even capture one every few days, the evil cultivators in this world were a bit too 'cautious'.

Because she's always hiding and can't come out, Yunran doesn't have any chance to practice her skills, which is a bit frustrating.

"What are you looking at?"

The blind Taoist priest looked at Yun Ran with a hint of doubt in his eyes as she suddenly quieted down.

In the blind Taoist priest's mind, Yun Ran was the kind of person who, once quiet, was definitely up to no good.

"Nothing, just looking around!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, Yun Ran frowned slightly because she saw a familiar face in the front row of the first floor.

Ginseng Fruit also noticed, and his tone was somewhat shocked: "Holy crap, what's that little firecracker Yun Wan doing here too?!"

"It's not Yun Wan, it's Yun Qing!"

Although the two sisters look very alike, few people can tell them apart when they are not speaking.

But Yunran was an exception; she recognized the person as Yun Qing at a glance.

Yun Qing, who was originally studying at a prestigious university in the United States, appeared at an auction in the United States of Japan. The person sitting next to her was dressed in the traditional clothing of the United States of Japan.

[Yun Qing is the smartest and most ruthless person in the entire Yun family, besides Yun Jingyang. But sometimes, these smart people can be incredibly destructive when they get into trouble.]

Yun Ran narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she didn't particularly like the Yun family, she didn't want the Yun family's ship to capsize right now.

He immediately took out his phone, took a picture of Yun Qing, and sent it to Yun Jingyang, telling the Yun family to handle their own affairs.

No matter what Yun Qing wants to do, it's nothing more than taking advantage of her status as the second young lady of the Yun family. As long as we cut off the conveniences provided to her by the Yun family at the source, she won't be able to cause any trouble.

Yun Qing, who was trying her best to befriend Hosono Naoko, had no idea that Yun Ran had ruined the promising situation she had worked so hard to build up abroad in just one meeting.

Yun Jingyang was in a meeting when he received the notification. The unusual notification sound made him break the rules and suspend the meeting.

Those in the conference room who heard Yun Jingyang's words were basically certain that news from the Third Miss had arrived.

Now everyone in the Yun family knows that the Third Miss has risen from the ashes and is now singing her praises.

From the company's top executives to the cleaning staff, everyone remembered Yun Ran's face vividly, for fear of offending the Third Miss.

Yun Jingyang opened his phone and saw the photo Yun Ran had sent. There wasn't a single extra word, but that didn't stop Yun Jingyang's face from darkening.

The Yun family has international business. After graduating from a prestigious university abroad, Yun Jingyang spent several years working in overseas companies and is familiar with many prominent families in other countries.

The angle of the photo was excellent; it captured both Yun Qing's and Hosono Naoko's faces clearly.

Especially since Hosono Naoko was wearing traditional Japanese clothing with totems on it, it was easy to recognize her as a member of the Hosono family.

Back when he was expanding into overseas markets, he put in a lot of effort to secure a large number of orders. One of his competitors was the Hosono family.

However, the Hosono family, who suffered a crushing defeat, couldn't accept their loss and hired someone to kill him. Fortunately, his best friend was the prince of Y country, who helped him resolve the matter.

Unexpectedly, his own sister had gotten involved with the Hosono family, which made Yun Jingyang feel like he had been betrayed.

Yun Jingyang had no doubts about Yun Ran's motives for posting the photos, nor did he think that Yun Ran was trying to sow discord.

After suppressing his anger, he sent Yun Ran an "I understand" emoji. After making a few phone calls, all of Yun Qing's credit cards were suspended, and even his position at the overseas company was terminated.

In the past, this would have been absolutely impossible.

Who would have thought that the person in charge of the Yun family would turn the Yun family's second daughter into a powerless leader simply because of a WeChat message from that unloved burden in the Yun family?

After sending the message, Yunran ignored it.

At that moment, her gaze was fixed on the large screen next to her, which clearly displayed the details of each item up for auction, her eyes filled with fervor.

All I can say is that when the atmosphere is right, blood rushes to your head, and you really do get a little tipsy.

When Yunran won another auction for a seemingly supernatural ornament, the blind Taoist priest gripped the auction device tightly, refusing to let Yunran touch it.

"We're here to photograph the Nine Yang Grass, not to be money-giving children. If you were photographing something good, that would be one thing, but look at what you just photographed!"

Yunran: ...

So what if her taste and hobbies are a little niche? The key is that they're cheap!

Those around them who were initially somewhat wary of this young duo had mixed feelings when they saw Yun Ran repeatedly bidding on 'unique pieces' that had failed to sell many times before.

They seemed somewhat puzzled: when did this perfectly healthy young girl go blind?
Fortunately, the auction for the Nine Yang Grass began, and those awkward stares finally disappeared.

Many of the people who came to the auction this time were there for the Nine Yang Grass. Yun Ran immediately took on the important task of keeping an eye on the surroundings to prevent anyone from using underhanded tactics.

The blind Taoist priest was able to remain calm when he saw Yun Ran's fervor in bidding for the unique piece, but now that it was his turn, he wasn't much better, and kept adding more money to the bid.

In no time, the price had soared to 5 million. Yunran looked at the big screen and saw a weed that looked like it was malnourished.

A stranger would probably step on it without even realizing it's worth so much.

At this moment, money is no longer money; it's just a number, a number that can be arbitrarily added on.

Yunran has shed her previous frenzy, her gaze now calm and composed as she sweeps her eyes over everyone present.

They soon discovered that at least five or six groups of people were clearly up to something; some were deliberately driving up the price, while others were lurking around and watching them suspiciously.

Even worse, some people activated small-scale formations right inside the venue, clearly trying to stir up trouble.

When the price of Nine Yang Grass reached 10 billion, the number of bidders was only one-third less than before.

Yunran was still thinking that it would probably be quite a while before they reached the 'match point'.

Suddenly, a clear, crisp sound came from downstairs.

"30 million!"

Yun Ran looked over and, lo and behold, it was the woman next to Yun Qing.
Before the blind Taoist priest arrived, he guessed that the price would not be cheap, so he brought all his savings and borrowed money from others, plus what he got from Yun Ran, for a total of 40 billion.

It now seems they're likely to be eliminated early.
