"That young Master Zhu seems quite brazen indeed! I think there are quite a few people here who are afraid of him." Wei Guanguan scoffed disdainfully.
Lian'er sneered, "These people aren't afraid of Young Master Zhu; they're afraid of the people supporting him. Even if they got the Elixir now, they'd worry about an army imposing on them, leaving them with no chance to use it."
"Does Young Master Zhu have such influence?" Wei Qi exclaimed in surprise.
Lian'er replied, "He has a sister who was taken in by the Imperial Family and is greatly favored. It's said that his sister dotes on him exceptionally so, even if it means pulling stars from the sky, she would satisfy him."
"Riding on the coattails of a woman," Wei Qi immediately lost interest.
There was no further bidding, and Young Master Zhu's face, Yin Zhe, showed a look of triumph.
However, at this moment, a cool and lazy voice was heard: "Eight million taels of gold."
