With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

The auction ended, and the crowd began to leave.

They were talking in hushed tones as they left, their eyes occasionally glancing in Yang Xiao's direction.

The meaning in those eyes... was very complex.

There was sympathy, schadenfreude, and contempt.

I believe it won't be long before news of today's auction spreads throughout Linjiang.

The eldest son of the Yang family was tricked by a son-in-law who had married into the family, and he auctioned off a pill at an extremely high price.

This is absolutely explosive news.

Su Mei walked over and handed Ye Yaocheng an exquisite wooden box.

She stared into Ye Yaocheng's eyes: "The youth-preserving herb is inside. Don't disappoint me."

Then, after thinking for a moment, she waved her pink little fist and said, "Otherwise, losing a billion is a small matter, but wasting my expectations would have serious consequences."

Ye Yaocheng took the wooden box, which was slightly cool to the touch. He looked at Su Mei with a firm gaze: "Don't worry, Miss Su, I won't let you down."

"I doubt you'd dare lie to me."

Su Mei muttered something under her breath, then turned and left.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back. "When it's ready, let me know immediately. If you dare give it to Wang Shiyu first... humph!"

She didn't finish speaking, but the warning in her eyes was obvious.

Ye Yaocheng nodded with a wry smile.

Lin Qingxue walked over, stood in front of Ye Yaocheng, and smiled slightly.

"Young Master Ye, if there's anything you'll need Qingxue for in the future... just let me know."

"You will always be Qingxue's friend."

Ye Yaocheng smiled and said, "Then if I need anything from Miss Lin in the future... I hope you won't find it troublesome."

No, it won't.

Lin Qingxue shook her head.

She gave Ye Yaocheng a shy smile, a smile as clean and pure as the warm spring sun.

It makes people feel comfortable.

She waved and turned to leave.

"Miss Lin, take care."

Ye Yaocheng waved goodbye.

"Feed".

Wang Shiyu's voice rang out from the side: "Still watching?"

She pouted, "Everyone's gone."

There was a sour taste in his voice.

the other side.

Yang Xiao stood there, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his eyes filled with rage.

The thought that this auction not only resulted in a loss of 3 billion, but also offended Master Lin filled him with rage.

How should I explain this after returning to my family?

"It's all that good-for-nothing's fault!"

"If it weren't for him, how could things have turned out like this?"

"Brother Xiao, don't be angry," Ji Baoyu advised from the side. "No matter what, we obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill this time."

"Once your strength reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, the Yang family might not blame you too much."

Yang Xiao was taken aback; it seemed that was indeed the case.

A young Foundation Establishment stage genius is a very valuable asset.

Thinking this way, my anger subsided considerably.

He sneered, his eyes fierce: "That good-for-nothing is just an ordinary person."

"Once I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will not only personally go to the Ji family to demand an explanation, but I will also snatch Ji Mingyue away right in front of them!"

"I'll see what kind of expression this good-for-nothing makes then!" He laughed heartily, as if he could already see the scene.

"Oh, right."

Yang Xiao suddenly remembered something and looked at Ji Baoyu: "Aren't you about to take over as president? How are your preparations going?"

"Don't worry, Brother Xiao."

Ji Baoyu patted his chest, looking confident: "Although Ji Mingyue has now awakened, I'm the one handling all the subsequent cooperation."

He gave a cold laugh: "It's almost impossible for her to turn things around."

He took out his phone, opened a photo, and handed it to Yang Xiao.

Although it's just a back view in the photo, you can tell at a glance that the man in the middle is Ye Yaocheng.

Standing on either side of him were two beautiful women, Wang Shiyu and Su Mei!

"This is……"

Yang Xiao's eyes lit up.

"I had someone take this picture," Ji Baoyu said smugly. "When the time is right, I'll 'accidentally' leak this photo."

"Then let's see how Ji Mingyue will protect him!"

Ye Yaocheng was naturally unaware of this.

Led by Wang Shiyu, they arrived at a luxurious living room.

Master Lin had been waiting there for a long time.

"Uncle Lin," Wang Shiyu said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting here."

"It's alright."

Third Master Lin waved his hand, looked at Ye Yaocheng, took out a gold card from his pocket, and handed it over.

"Young friend, this is the total amount for the pills in this auction."

He paused for a moment, then said, "A total of 12 billion."

Ye Yaocheng was startled.

"12 billion?"

He looked at Master Lin:

"Isn't this...too much?"

According to his calculations, if his commission is included, a profit of eight billion would be considered high.

It's now 12 billion?

"What are you saying, young friend?"

Master Lin laughed and said, "Let's not even talk about the six pills that were auctioned off. Just take the two we took out for testing. They gave me two more Foundation Establishment stage experts by my side. What's a little money compared to that?"

He patted Ye Yaocheng on the shoulder: "Just consider it making a friend."

Ye Yaocheng looked at Third Master Lin, his eyes flickering slightly.

He understood; Master Lin was trying to curry favor with him, or rather, making an investment.

Ye Yaocheng took the card. "In that case... I'll gladly accept your offer."

"Good!" Master Lin laughed, then said mysteriously, "By the way, I have another big gift to give to you, young friend. I hope you won't refuse."

Although Ye Yaocheng was curious, he nodded in agreement.

After the matter was over, Ye Yaocheng said goodbye to Wang Shiyu and then left separately.

As soon as he got home, Ye Yaocheng immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Ji Zheng and his wife sat on the sofa, their faces grim.

"Xiao Ye is back?"

When Li Yuxiu saw Ye Yaocheng, she forced a smile and said, "Please sit down."

She brought over a fruit platter: "Have some fruit."

Ye Yaocheng sat down and asked curiously, "Mom, what's wrong with you two?"

Li Yuxiu sighed, her tone helpless.

"Just recently, the Ji family informed Ji Baoyu that he would take over as the family's president in three days."

"snort!"

Ji Zheng slammed his hand on the table, veins bulging on his forehead!

"They clearly said it would take a month, but it's only been less than half a month, and they can't wait any longer!"

"It seems that Ji Yun is starting to act desperately now that Mingyue is almost fully recovered!"

He clenched his fists, furious. "The old man's side too! This is so biased!"

"Okay, Dad, stop talking."

Ji Mingyue came downstairs, her expression not looking too good.

She looked at Ji Zheng: "I'll think of something."

Ji Zheng remained silent for a while, then looked at Ji Mingyue with a guilty look in his eyes.

"Mingyue, it's because your father is useless."

He took a deep breath and made a decision. "I've thought about it, and I'll go talk to the old man about it. I'm thinking of giving up the position of the next clan leader."

He looked at Ji Mingyue and said, "Right now, the entire family is on Ji Yun's side. Rather than that, it's better to avoid the limelight for the time being."

His eyes were firm: "With your abilities, you may well have a chance to make a comeback in the future."

Ji Mingyue's eyes showed some emotion, but she still shook her head, "Dad, I will find a way to handle this, you don't need to worry about it."

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

"Let's not be pessimistic, everyone," Ye Yaocheng suddenly spoke up. "Perhaps... I can handle this?"

Ji Zheng glanced at him but didn't say anything.

He wasn't in the mood right now, and besides, Ye Yaocheng had done a good job collecting debts, so he didn't say anything.

But when I think about how Ye Yaocheng is an illegitimate son of the Ye family, what kind of power could he possibly associate with?

Seeing that no one believed him, Ye Yaocheng said no more.

He decided to lend a hand.

This family treated him very well, at least hundreds of times better than the Ye family.

Upstairs in her bedroom, Ji Mingyue gritted her teeth and made a phone call.

"Yo~"

A languid and alluring voice came from the other end of the phone: "My dear junior sister, what brings you to call me?"

"Senior sister..." Ji Mingyue said softly, "I believe you understand my situation."

She took a deep breath: "Could you help me get in touch with... the Wang family who are investing in Linjiang?"

Her voice was pleading: "I really have no other choice... that's why I came to you."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Junior sister..." The voice turned serious, "You know, I don't get along with that woman Wang Shiyu."

She paused for a moment, then said, "This is a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible for me to do it..."

"But you have to promise me that once your problem is resolved, we will definitely go and find that place."

Her tone turned serious: "Really... we can't delay any longer."

Ji Mingyue held her phone, her fingers trembling slightly.

After a long silence, she nodded, her eyes resolute: "Yes! I promise you."
