Chapter 167: 166 What’s wrong with having niche aesthetics and hobbies? (2 more updates)

For Yun Ran, who used to frequently confront Evil Cultivators and capture one every two or three days, the Evil Cultivators in this world seemed to be overly "cautious".

Continuously hiding and not showing up deprived Yun Ran of opportunities to practice, which was a bit frustrating.

"What are you looking at?"

Taoist Xia, noticing Yun Ran suddenly quiet down, looked at her with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

In Taoist Xia’s mind, Yun Ran was the type of person who was up to no good whenever she fell silent.

"Nothing, just looking around!"

But right after she spoke, Yun Ran’s brows furrowed slightly, because she spotted an acquaintance at the foremost position on the first floor.

Ginsengfruit also noticed and expressed in surprise tone: [Damn, how come Yun Wan, that little firecracker is here too!]

"It’s not Yun Wan, it’s Yun Qing!"

Although the two sisters looked very similar, and it was hard for people to recognize them when they didn’t speak,

Yun Ran was an exception; she recognized at a glance that it was Yun Qing.

Yun Qing, who was supposed to be at a prestigious university in M country, appeared here at an auction in Yinghua Country, sitting next to someone dressed in Yinghua Country attire.

[Yun Qing is the smartest and coldest person in the entire Yun Family, apart from Yun Jinyang; these smart ones, when they start their mischief, have a frightening power of destruction.]

Yun Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly; although she wasn’t very fond of the Yun Family, at this moment, she didn’t wish for the Yun Family’s ship to capsize.

She immediately took out her phone, snapped a photo of Yun Qing, and sent it to Yun Jinyang; let the Yun Family handle their own affairs.

No matter what Yun Qing intended to do, she merely wanted to exploit her status as the second daughter of the Yun Family; by cutting off the conveniences provided by the Yun Family at the source, she wouldn’t be able to cause any significant disturbance.

Yun Qing, who was earnestly trying to build a good rapport with Xiyeno Natsuo, was unaware that with just one encounter, Yun Ran had destroyed the advantageous situation she had worked hard to build abroad for half a year.

Receiving the notification, Yun Jinyang was in a meeting, and a special ringtone made him break the protocol by pausing the meeting.

Hearing Yun Jinyang’s words, everyone in the meeting room basically confirmed that it was a message from the third daughter.

At present, everyone in the Yun Corporation knew that the third daughter had turned the tables significantly.

From the company’s top brass to the janitors, everyone firmly remembered Yun Ran’s face, fearing to anger the third daughter.

When Yun Jinyang checked his phone and saw the photo sent by Yun Ran, there wasn’t an extra word, but this didn’t stop Yun Jinyang’s expression from darkening.

Yun Corporation had international business operations, and Yun Jinyang, having graduated from a prestigious foreign university and gained experience in overseas branches, was well aware of many prominent families from other countries.

The angle of the photo was well chosen, not only capturing Yun Qing’s face clearly but also Xiyeno Natsuo’s.

Particularly since Xiyeno Natsuo was dressed in Yinghua Country attire with totem patterns, it was easy to recognize that she belonged to the Xiyeno Family.

Back when he was expanding the market abroad, he had expended a lot of effort to secure a substantial number of orders, among which the Xiyeno Family was one of the competitors.

However, the defeated members of the Xiyeno Family could not accept their loss; they even hired assassins to kill him, luckily his close friend who was a prince in Y Country resolved the matter for him.

Unexpectedly, his own younger sister was now entangled with the people of the Xiyeno Family, which gave Yun Jinyang a feeling of being backstabbed.

Yun Jinyang had no doubts about Yun Ran’s motive for sending the photo, and did not think of it as her creating discord.

After suppressing her anger, Yun Ran sent an "I Understand" emoji.

After several calls, all the cards under Yun Qing’s name were blocked, even her positions in overseas companies were suspended.

Such a thing would have been impossible in the past.

Who could have thought that the person in charge of the Yun Family just needed a WeChat message from the less favored drag along of the family, to render the Second Miss of Yun Family’s direct lineage completely powerless.

Yun Ran sent the message and then didn’t care about it anymore.

At this moment, her gaze was fixed on the large screen next to her, which clearly displayed the details of each auction item, her eyes full of fervor.

It can only be said that when the atmosphere builds up to the end, the excitement really gets to one’s head.

After Yun Ran bid on another seemingly absurd trinket, Taoist Xia tightly clutched the auction paddle in his hand, absolutely not letting Yun Ran touch it.

"We came here to bid for the Nine Yang Grass, not to be a scatterer of wealth! If you were bidding on good items, it would be fine, but look what you’ve just bid on!"

Yun Ran: ...

What’s wrong with my niche tastes and hobbies? The key point is they are cheap!

The people around who had initially been somewhat wary of this young pair, upon seeing Yun Ran repeatedly bid on ’orphaned items’ that had been passed over many times before, all had expressions that were hard to put into words.

It seemed a bit puzzled, a fine young girl, when did her eyes go blind?

Fortunately, the auction for Nine Yang Grass started, and those awkward gazes finally shifted away.

Many people present at the auction came specifically for the Nine Yang Grass, and Yun Ran immediately took on the responsibility, watching the surroundings to prevent certain people from playing tricks.

Taoist Xia, who was calm watching Yun Ran’s frenzy over the orphaned items, was now hardly better himself, fervently raising the bids.

In no time, the price had already skyrocketed to 500 million, Yun Ran looked at the big screen showing a plant that looked like a malnourished weed.

Unrecognizable to others, one might just step on it, who could imagine that it was so valuable.

At this moment, money was really no longer money, but just numbers, numbers casually added up.

Yun Ran pulled herself out of the previous fervent state, her gaze calm and restrained, her eyes scanning all the people present.

She quickly noticed that at least five or six groups of people were clearly causing trouble, including those who were deliberately driving up the price and others sneaking glances at them.

Some even launched a small-scale Array directly inside the venue, clearly intending to muddy the waters.

When the price of Nine Yang Grass had reached 10 billion, the number of bidders had only decreased by a third from before.

Yun Ran was still thinking that it would probably take a while longer to reach the ’match point’.

Suddenly, a crisp voice came from downstairs.

"30 billion!"

Yun Ran looked over; well, if it isn’t the woman beside Yun Qing!

Knowing beforehand that it wouldn’t be cheap, Taoist Xia brought all his savings and borrowed money from all over, including what he took from Yun Ran, totaling 40 billion.

Now it seems, they might be kicked out of the game early.
