Shi Hongyi walked onto the stage and took out a storage pouch from his pocket, handing it to the host.
Just as he was about to speak, Han Xuanxuan said, "Shi Hongyi, what are you doing? I said I don't need your Spirit Stones. Don't even think about using Spirit Stones to humiliate me again."
With that, she put on an arrogant attitude, looking at Shi Hongyi with disdain.
Qin Feng also chimed in, "Shi Hongyi, you want to use Spirit Stones to humiliate Xuanxuan again? You think that will make us grateful? Dream on!"
Shen Zhao was speechless. Where did these two get the confidence to add so much drama? If he were them, he'd be digging a three-room apartment with his toes and crawling into it.
Shi Hongyi didn't say anything, but instead handed the storage pouch to the host, "Manager Wang, I have something I'd like to ask for your help."
Manager Wang said, "Young Master Shi, just tell me what it is. I will certainly do what I can."
Shi Hongyi said, "Manager Wang, you travel between the major sects, so you must have a lot of connections. Here are 500,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, 30,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones, and 300 high-grade Spirit Stones.
I dare to ask Manager Wang to exchange these Spirit Stones for grain with the various sects to help the disaster-stricken people in the outer city."
Manager Wang was taken aback and couldn't help but praise, "Young Master Shi is so kind-hearted and cares about the disaster-stricken people. I am truly impressed. Alright, I'll take care of it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhao also tossed over a storage bag, "Here are another 900 high-grade Spirit Stones. Please also exchange them for grain, Manager Wang. Remember to do it in Su Yunying's name."
Manager Wang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, I will definitely do it."
"And me!"
Xu Yan also walked onto the stage, smiled at Shen Zhao and Shi Hongyi, and then threw out a storage bag, "Although my Xu family can't compare to the Shi family's large family business, since the victims have come to Yun Prefecture, we must also do our part. Here are two million low-grade Spirit Stones. Please also exchange them for grain, Manager Wang."
With the golden signboards of Shi Hongyi and Xu Yan, everyone present was generous, and soon they raised more than 18 million Spirit Stones.
Han Xuanxuan and Qin Feng were completely dumbfounded by this scene.
They had thought Shi Hongyi would pay their bill, but he showed no intention of doing so.
Qin Feng ground his teeth in hatred. Seeing nearly twenty million Spirit Stones on the stage, which were going to be used to buy food for the commoners, he gradually lost his composure.
Unable to contain himself any longer, he immediately roared, "Shi Hongyi, what do you mean by this? You'd better explain yourself!"
Shi Hongyi turned around, his expressionless face fixed on Qin Feng, and after a long pause, he said calmly, "What is it you want to say?"
Qin Feng raged, "You'd rather use so many Spirit Stones to feed those commoners than pay our bill!"
Han Xuanxuan also chimed in, "Shi Hongyi, you can take your anger out on me, but do you know how important these spirit artifacts and pills are for Qin Feng's strength!
Pay the bill immediately, or I'll never forgive you!"
The crowd was speechless, completely dumbfounded by this pair of morons.
They'd never seen anyone so shameless.
Why should someone else's money be spent on you? Who do you think you are?
And, are the refugees ants?
Perhaps that's true for cultivators, but besides those evil cultivators, who would openly say such a thing?
This guy's heart is clearly not right.
Facing the two of them with their aggressive expressions, as if they had suffered a huge injustice, Shi Hongyi snorted coldly, "Didn't you say you didn't need me to use money to humiliate you and Qin Feng? Since that's the case, why wouldn't I fulfill your request?"
Then he looked at Qin Feng, the disdain on his face even more obvious: "And you, Qin Feng, I tolerated you before for Xuanxuan's sake, but I don't like her anymore,
"So, don't think you'll get anything else from me. You want your pride, right? Figure out how to settle the bill yourselves. I won't pay a single Spirit Stone for anything you auctioned off today."
Qin Feng and Han Xuanxuan were dumbfounded.
Was this really the mindless young master of the Shi family?
Xu Yan, who was standing to the side, brightened up at this and said to Shi Hongyi, "Young Master Shi, have you truly understood?"
Shi Hongyi said, "I'm ashamed, Young Master Xu. I was blinded by foolishness before, which led me to this. It won't happen again. I wonder, is Miss Xu well?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan deliberately snorted, "You still remember my sister? Do you know how difficult things have been for her these past three years?"
Shi Hongyi looked ashamed, "Please apologize to Miss Xu for me. I will definitely visit in person in a few days."
Xu Yi, Xu Yan's sister, had always been infatuated with Shi Hongyi, and the two families had originally planned to marry, with both sets of parents very optimistic about the marriage.
Shi Hongyi had become infatuated with Han Xuanxuan three years ago, which worsened the relationship between Xu Yan and Shi Hongyi, leading to a two-year estrangement.
Now, seeing him repent, he couldn't help but sigh. His own sister had shed countless tears over the past three years, and finally, there was a chance to rekindle their relationship.
Han Xuanxuan's heart tightened when she heard Shi Hongyi's words.
It felt as though something important was being pulled from her body.
Right, it was her walking ATM.
"Shi Hongyi, are you really so heartless? After three years of our relationship, you're just going to give up like this?"
She questioned him sternly.
Seeing this, Shen Zhao immediately took over, "Stop with that act. Didn't you only love your Qin Feng-gege?"
"Shi Hongyi is leaving now, isn't that exactly what you wanted? So you can be with your Qin Feng-gege, side-by-side, forever?"
Han Xuanxuan was so angry she grit her teeth. Finally, she left a harsh sentence: "Qin Feng-gege, let's go. This is for the best, it suits me perfectly!"
Seeing the cultivation resources that were within reach just fly away, Qin Feng glared fiercely at Shen Zhao and Shi Hongyi, deciding to swallow this anger for now, and get it back from them in the future with interest!
"Wait a moment, you two!"
Manager Wang saw that the two of them were about to leave and immediately called out to stop them. At the same time, four Qi Condensation Realm, fourth-rank guards blocked their path.
"What do you want to do?"
Qin Feng looked at Manager Wang with a wary expression.
Manager Wang said with a smile, "You two, your transaction hasn't been completed yet. Please pay the Spirit Stones before you leave."
Qin Feng said angrily, "I'm not buying it, is that okay?"
Manager Wang's smile vanished. "Doesn't the gentleman know the rules of the Lingbao Pavilion? If you bid and don't buy, it's considered a breach of contract. According to the rules, you must pay 20% of the total price of the auctioned goods. Considering Young Master Shi's face, we'll knock off a bit, leaving a total of 500,000 Spirit Stones."
Qin Feng and Han Xuanxuan were shocked. They didn't expect there to be such a rule.
"What the hell is this rule? It's clearly a shakedown. What can you do if I don't pay?"
"Don't pay? Heh, no one has ever dared to cause trouble at the Lingbao Pavilion. Kid, I advise you to think carefully."
As he spoke, four more Qi Condensation Realm guards appeared, and the eight of them surrounded Qin Feng and Han Xuanxuan.
"Qin Feng Gege, what do we do?"
Seeing this, Han Xuanxuan couldn't help but become nervous.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. They can't do anything to us."
Qin Feng said this, but he wasn't feeling confident.
He could definitely defeat three or four cultivators of the same realm, or even a few ranks higher, but eight of them had shown up all at once, and he was starting to feel overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhao pulled Shi Hongyi and sat leisurely in a private booth, watching the drama with great interest.
"I'll ask you one last time, are you going to pay the Spirit Stones for the breach of contract, or not!" Manager Wang asked coldly.
"Don't bully the young!"
What he got in return was Qin Feng's chuuni reply.
"Get him!"
The eight guards immediately howled and pounced on Qin Feng and Han Xuanxuan.
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
Meanwhile, Shen Zhao, Shi Hongyi, and Xu Yan raised their cups and drank heartily, pointing and commenting on the battle.
Qin Feng did indeed have some skills. Although he was only in the third stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, he managed to knock down two fourth-stage Qi Condensation guards in just a few moves.
As for Han Xuanxuan, her talent was mediocre to begin with. If it weren't for Shi Hongyi's care over the past three years, she wouldn't even have reached the Qi Condensation Realm. She was completely a burden and could only cower in the corner, unable to help.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Qin Feng had taken down two more guards, but he wasn't faring well either. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he had several cuts on his body.
"As expected of Lin Feng's right-hand man, he does possess some skill."
Seeing Qin Feng's "ferocity," Shen Zhao couldn't help but think of certain things from his past life.
Another half a cup of tea passed, and the fifth Qi Condensation Realm expert was taken down by Qin Feng.
At this moment, Qin Feng was already panting heavily. Taking advantage of the gaps in dodging the attacks, he continuously put Qi Recovery Pills into his mouth to restore the Spirit Qi and stamina in his body.
"Big brother Qin Feng, come on!"
Han Xuanxuan, huddled in the corner, kept cheering for Qin Feng. At the same time, she looked at Shi Hongyi and the other two not far away, who were calm and composed, and a vicious look flashed in her eyes.
"Break for me!"
"Raging Wind Palm!"
Seeing that he was about to run out of energy, Qin Feng directly used his signature move, a Yellow-grade battle skill: Raging Wind Palm.
In an instant, the three guards were swept by the scorching wind, and were immediately knocked away.
But after using that move, his spiritual energy was completely depleted. Knowing that staying would put them in a desperate situation, he decisively took the last Qi Recovery Pill and pulled Han Xuanxuan, starting to run outside.
"Don't let them get away!"
Seeing them about to escape their control, Manager Wang roared, and another group of guards chased after them.
But Qin Feng was still a step faster, pulling Han Xuanxuan and rushing to the door in one breath.
"Want to run?"
At that moment, a soft voice echoed at the entrance.
Qin Feng and Han Xuanxuan didn't even have time to react before they were thrown back into the hall by a gust of wind coming towards them.
The next moment, a fragrant breeze brushed their faces, and Su Yunying stepped into the Lingbao Pavilion, her stunningly beautiful face scanning the surroundings.
After seeing Shen Zhao, Shi Hongyi immediately ran over, hurrying, "Shen, I've been looking for you for ages! Turns out you're here."
Following close behind, Ding Buer cursed as he caught up.
"Oh, what a lively scene! Did I miss out on something exciting?"
The entire place fell silent, you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Yunying.
"What a beautiful girl?"
"Who is she?"
"Seeing her run towards Young Master Shi, could she be Young Master Shi's Dao companion?"
"No wonder. With such a fine lady, who would even look at that viper, Han Xuanxuan?"
While everyone was whispering and discussing Su Yunying's identity, she had already arrived beside Shen Zhao and jumped up to hug his neck.
"Shen, today I helped Madam Shi provide relief to the disaster victims, and it infuriated those unscrupulous merchants represented by the Li family to the point their ancestors' graves are practically smoking."
"How dare you! This is a public place, what kind of behavior is this? Let go at once!"
The crowd then realized that this girl was Shen Zhao's woman, and immediately felt a wave of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng was enduring the chaos of his inner energy, wanting to stand up and see who it was.
When he saw Su Yunying, he couldn't help but be stunned.
If Su Yunying was a gorgeous flower, then Han Xuanxuan was, at most, just a weed.
At this moment, Qin Feng finally understood what it meant to be exceptionally beautiful and pure.
