Next, regarding the bronze compass, only the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, the Dayan Immortal Dynasty, and Ye Yu were placing bids.
The many Cultivators present had their gazes fixed on the Shengxuan Academy side, their eyes filled with a hint of surprise as they scrutinized them.
"Truly a newborn calf that isn't afraid of tigers; to think he dares to compete for treasures against the two great Immortal Dynasties."
Many people secretly shook their heads, feeling that Ye Yu was somewhat ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
Ye Yu himself wore a solemn expression. In truth, he had not expected Jun Xiaoyao to place a bid.
After all, he possessed the Spirit of the Gate of Creation and could discern a few clues about this bronze compass. How could Jun Xiaoyao possibly have noticed anything?
As for 10th Prince Yu Huatian, it was likely because Jun Xiaoyao had placed a bid that he decided to intervene.
With Ye Yu's financial resources, he naturally could not compare to the two great Immortal Dynasties. His thoughts turned, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
"If you want to snatch it, then I will let you snatch it."
Next, Ye Yu continued to bid. But what surprised everyone was that Ye Yu's bid shot up by a large margin. It could even be said that he was directly inflating the auction price.
At this point, even 10th Prince Yu Huatian frowned slightly.
He actually didn't know what use this bronze compass had. He had only intervened to annoy Jun Xiaoyao.
After some thought, 10th Prince Yu Huatian did not bid again.
In the private box, Jun Xiaoyao revealed a dismissive smile. Is it this trope again? It can be called a classic auction plot.
A Son of Destiny, unable to compete with an opponent, deliberately inflates the price to goad them. Then, at some point, they stop bidding, leaving the opponent dumbfounded and forced to swallow the bitter pill.
This old trick from eight hundred years ago, in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, could only be described as childishly laughable.
Subsequently, the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty continued to bid. A dark glint flashed in Ye Yu's eyes. He continued to raise the price.
Later on, even Manager Su Ying's expression shifted slightly. The current auction price had already far exceeded the initial price of the bronze compass. It could even be called reckless.
But she didn't say anything. This situation was also profitable for the auction organizers.
"That's about enough..." At one point, Ye Yu's thoughts shifted. Too much is as bad as too little; if he went too far, it would be dangerous. Thinking of this, Ye Yu placed one final bid. After the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty finished their bid, he would not speak again.
However, after Ye Yu finished bidding, the entire venue was silent. There was no movement from the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty side. Ye Yu was stunned, his expression freezing.
This... that shouldn't be right? Given Jun Xiaoyao's previous resolute attitude about needing to obtain this item, how could he possibly give up?
And with his family background from the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty, although it might sting, he shouldn't be unable to afford it.
"Going once..." "Going twice..." "Going three times..." "Congratulations to this Young Master from the Shengxuan Academy for winning the bronze compass."
Manager Su Ying's gaze turned towards Ye Yu, a faint, cold mockery in her eyes. Now you've tried to trick someone else, only to end up tricking yourself.
She wasn't afraid of this Ye Yu reneging on the debt. Anyone who dared to play games with the Su Family wouldn't even know how to write the word 'death'!
And what about Ye Yu? At this moment, he was completely dumbfounded, his mind slightly blank. He didn't have that much money at all! He had originally just wanted to annoy Jun Xiaoyao. As a result, he had become the sucker!
Beside him, the Academy Elder also sighed and shook his head. Ye Yu had pushed the price too high; even if he wanted to help, he couldn't. This was Ye Yu's own doing, and he was powerless to act. At most, he could think of a way later to plead for leniency using the face of the Shengxuan Academy.
"What should I do..." It must be said that Ye Yu's temperament was still quite calm. He knew that if he dared to renege on the debt, the Su Family would absolutely not let him off. There would likely be a threat to his life.
He thought of Su Jinli. This old classmate was almost his only savior!
Shortly after, the auction came to an end. It had to be said that the Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce's auction was of high quality, with many treasures appearing that were scrambled for by others.
Jun Xiaoyao hadn't bid on anything. Possessing half of the Yellow Springs Secret Treasury, he wasn't currently lacking these things.
As for the bronze compass, although Jun Xiaoyao was interested, it wasn't necessary to obtain it right now. Him obtaining it, or a Son of Destiny obtaining it, wasn't it the same? In any case, the final results would all belong to him.
After the auction ended, everyone gradually departed. The figure of 10th Prince Yu Huatian appeared. He only glanced at Jun Xiaoyao, said nothing, and left.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't care. On the contrary, Jiang Chen behind him cast a subtle glance at 10th Prince Yu Huatian, a flash of contemplation crossing his eyes.
On the other side, Manager Su Ying found Ye Yu. "Young Master Ye, now, let's exchange payment for the item."
Manager Su Ying's words caused Ye Yu's expression to stiffen slightly. Where would he get the money to pay?
"This... I wonder if you could grant me some time; I will make up the payment later," Ye Yu said.
If they gave him some time, he could use the Spirit of the Gate of Creation to scavenge for treasures, and perhaps he would be able to make up this payment.
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Manager Su Ying was not at all surprised. She merely raised her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly. "Young Master Ye, this is not right of you. My Su Family never allows credit."
After speaking, several Su Family retainers appeared nearby, their gazes all falling upon Ye Yu.
"This... could you be a bit flexible?" The Shengxuan Academy Elder also said. After all, Ye Yu was still considered a Core Disciple of the Shengxuan Academy.
However, Manager Su Ying paid no attention. Their Su Family had absolutely no need to care about the Shengxuan Academy.
Ye Yu exhaled softly; he had anticipated this scene. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Is the eldest Young Miss of the Su Family, Su Jinli, present?"
Manager Su Ying frowned. Several Su Family retainers nearby also scolded, "Insolent! How dare you address the Young Miss by her name directly!"
And just at this moment, a group of people walked over. It was Jun Xiaoyao, Su Jinli, Ling Xi, and others.
Su Jinli glanced at Ye Yu, and her expression suddenly froze. Her eyes seemed to carry a sense of extreme shock and surprise!
However, it was only for an instant before Su Jinli's demeanor returned to normal. She could not reveal anything unusual!
And when Ye Yu first saw Su Jinli, it was the same; a flash of pleasant surprise crossed his eyes. As expected! His guess was correct! This eldest Young Miss of the Su Family was indeed his old classmate from the past!
Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He had bet correctly. Heaven does not block all paths!
And within Ye Yu, the Spirit of the Gate of Creation also sounded a voice of surprise. "Another one of the Nine Children of Destiny?"
Regarding Su Jinli's appearance, Ye Yu breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. But what left his expression stunned was: Why was Su Jinli coming out together with Jun Xiaoyao?
"Sister Su Ying, what happened?" Su Jinli asked. "Young Miss, this person cannot afford to pay and merely wants to buy on credit," Manager Su Ying nodded slightly and said.
Although she was also a direct descendant of the Su Family, her status could not be mentioned in the same breath as Su Jinli's.
Su Jinli's expression paused slightly, and she said, "This... he is someone I know."
"So that's how it is." Manager Su Ying also revealed a look of surprise. She hadn't expected this Ye Yu to actually know Su Jinli.
In Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, a look of profound meaning was revealed. Just now, upon seeing Su Jinli, the flash of pleasant surprise in Ye Yu's eyes had been seen by Jun Xiaoyao.
"Could it be..." Jun Xiaoyao had a guess. Su Jinli was a transmigrator. And Ye Yu was a Son of Destiny with a Golden Finger. They also knew each other. It was hard not to speculate whether Ye Yu was also a transmigrator.
Could it be that their Transmigration wasn't a solo event, but a group Transmigration? If that were the case, it would be even more interesting. There might be an unusual, earth-shattering secret behind it.
