The members of the Gu family also caught sight of Gu Qingluan.
Gu Zhicheng snorted angrily, “Unfilial daughter!”
“Elder brother, there’s no need to be bothered by her. Now that our Gu family has obtained the Ninth-Grade Universe Stabilizer, you will soon become a Saint. Who would dare to act arrogant towards us?” Gu Zhixin smirked proudly.
Gu Zhicheng’s expression eased a bit. “You have a point.”
“Get out of the way, you good-for-nothing dog!” Suddenly, a crisp voice came from outside the main gate.
Gu Qingluan turned around and saw Gu Jinyue glaring at her with arrogance.
Frowning, Lu Baonian asked, “This is Lushi Auction House. Is the young lady being too presumptuous?”
…..
Gu Jinyue rolled her eyes and stepped aside, revealing the person behind her.
Upon seeing the person, Lu Baonian showed a surprised expression. “Mr. Liu Meng!”
In the hall, Gu Zhixin’s eyes lit up, and he quickly went to greet him. “Mr. Liu, why are you here? Our Gu family has successfully bid for the Ninth-Grade Universe Stabilizer with 1800 pieces of Xuanling Crystal Hearts! This is the highest price ever in the history of auctions! Congratulations!”
Beforehand, Gu Zhixin had decided that regardless of what Liu Meng put up for auction, he would inflate the price and buy it, using this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Liu Meng. Although the price skyrocketed later and he didn’t need to manipulate it, the Gu family still managed to win the bid. Liu Meng should be able to see the sincerity of the Gu family, right?
The others also had excited expressions on their faces.
Although they weren’t able to get the Universe Stabilizer, the person who provided it was here!
If they could establish a good relationship with Mr. Liu Meng, maybe they could obtain a Universe Stabilizer from him!
Gu Jinyue was extremely surprised. “1800 pieces of Xuanling Crystal Hearts? My goodness, that’s a lot!”
“It’s mainly because of the invaluable pill provided by Mr. Liu that the Gu family has been fortunate enough to win the bid,” Gu Zhicheng complimented.
Liu Meng smiled and replied, “Not bad.”
Witnessing Liu Meng’s calm and composed demeanor, everyone was amazed.
Truly deserving of someone who hailed from the Island of No Return, maintaining their composure in the face of such an exorbitant price.
Gu Jinyue was overjoyed and turned her gaze towards Gu Qingluan and Lu Baonian standing on the side, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
“Now, Mr. Lu, do you understand how you should choose your alliances?” Gu Jinyue said, her brows furrowing.
Lu Baonian’s brows knitted together. “Miss, don’t push it too far!”
“You can only push others when you have the confidence to do so! Are you unhappy? Then keep it to yourself and get lost!” Gu Jinyue retorted.
The auction of the spirit pill from the Island of No Return at such a staggering price not only brought renown to the auction house but also generated substantial transaction fees.
She didn’t believe that Lu Baonian would still dare to protect Gu Qingluan at this point!
Some people couldn’t help but frown, feeling that Gu Jinyue was being overbearing.
However, such was the way of the world. If the tables were turned, they wouldn’t show mercy to their enemies either.
Everyone looked towards Gu Qingluan, curious to see her reaction.
As the saying goes, leave a line of retreat for future encounters.
Previously, Gu Qingluan had expelled the members of the Gu family without any consideration, acting too arrogantly and coldly.
It was no wonder the Gu family was now suppressing her in every way possible.
Gu Qingluan noticed the expressions of the people around her and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Her eyes were like shimmering water, her eyebrows curved gracefully, and her skin was as fair as snow, radiating a gentle glow.
It must be said that this Miss Gu from the Gu family had a stunning appearance. However, wasn’t it too bold for her to be smiling at a time like this?
Didn’t she realize that Lu Banian wouldn’t always protect her?
Lu Banian, with a faint trace of anger on his face due to Gu Jin-yue’s words, was taken aback by Gu Qingluan’s calm demeanor.
Could it be that Miss Gu is so composed because she has something to rely on?
Lu Banian thought of her previous advice to him and turned his gaze towards Lu Meng.
Lu Meng walked towards him and said, “Lu Banian, there is something I’m not sure if I should say.”
Here it comes!
Gu Jinyue’s eyes instantly lit up, and her small face became flushed with excitement.
Surely Mr. Lu Meng was going to forbid Gu Qingluan from setting foot in the Lushi Auction House ever again!
“Mr. Lu Meng, what do you want to say?” Lu Banian’s heart was hanging in suspense..
