"Mr. Ye, you overstate the matter," Yi said. "Am I really such a deplorable person? Since this is a fair bidding war, let us continue!"
As soon as he spoke, no one else dared to make a bid. The Cultivators who had previously paused to observe the situation now gave up on the idea entirely.
They couldn't outbid them, and they couldn't afford to offend them.
This was the crux of their thinking.
Seeing this, the elderly auctioneer breathed a silent sigh of relief and quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Haha, both you Elders are reasonable men! In that case, the auction will continue! Elder Yi in Celestial Pavilion Number Three has bid thirty-one thousand Spirit Stones, and Elder Ye in Earth Pavilion Number Seven has bid thirty-one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones! Are there any further bids?" His gaze shifted back to the room where Lin Changheng was.
"Thirty-two thousand!"
