Soon, all of them rose from their seats and made their way outside.
Ye Wanwan couldnt possibly stay alone in the venue, so after a brief consideration, she followed suit.
Observing the departing figures of the group, the others in the venue were filled with curiosity. They desired to know the nature of the negotiations between Ye Hongxuan and Ye Lengan. Ultimately, who would choose to relinquish the Shennong Cauldron?
Unable to follow them outside for a firsthand view, they could only remain within the venue, waiting.
Meanwhile, several individuals began to scrutinize the Shennong Cauldron on the stage, seemingly eager to unravel the charm that prompted such fierce compet.i.tion between Ye Hongxuan and Ye Lengan.
Outside, the atmosphere between Ye Hongxuan and Ye Lengan was notably strained, even verging on awkward.
Ye Hongxuan had initially summoned her to persuade her to forego the Shennong Cauldron. However, upon witnessing the others indifferent demeanor, he found himself momentarily at a loss for words.
Ye Lengan, however, chose not to initiate the conversation, patiently awaiting
Ye Hongxuans lead.
Standing beside Ye Lengan like a guardian, Huangfu Ruiling remained quietly composed.
In contrast, Ye Wanwan grew impatient. Hastily reaching out, she tugged at her fathers clothing. Seeing that he still remained silent, she couldnt help but speak, Miss Ye, we genuinely need this Shennong Cauldron. Could you consider withdrawing from this auction?
Oh. Ye Lengan nodded. Then, under the hopeful gaze of Ye Wanwan, she calmly stated, l understand. However, I also require this Shennong Cauldron, so I have no intention of withdrawing from the auction.
You Ye Wanwan frowned, her tone turning somewhat unpleasant. This Shennong Cauldron is a pill furnace, mainly used for alchemy. Its only beneficial to alchemists. Theres no reason for you to insist on acquiring it!
But if youre persuading me to withdraw from the bidding, does that make sense? Ye Lengan remained unruffled. She shrugged and continued, This is an auction, and the highest bidder naturally claims the item. If you also desire the Shennong Cauldron, simply continue raising the bid!
Miss Ye, we sincerely want to have a conversation with you. Ye Hongxuan took a deep breath and spoke, Our Ye family has been practicing alchemy for generations, so the Shennong Cauldron is truly crucial to us. Should you choose to withdraw from the bidding, we can offer compensation.
l dont require any compensation. Ye Lengan smiled and shook her head. You need the Shennong Cauldron, and I need it too. I believe an agreement between us is unlikely. Lets return to the auction venue and rely on our own abilities.
Miss Ye, why are you so insistent on the Shennong Cauldron? Ye Hongxuan furrowed his brows and continued, This Shennong Cauldron isnt an ordinary item; its specifically designed for alchemists. After paying such a hefty price, what difference will it make if you obtain it? Why force a situation where both sides end up suffering?
Then how do you know Im not an alchemist? Ye Lengan smiled. Since youve mentioned it, the Shennong Cauldron is crucial for alchemists. Now, empathize with me I too am an alchemist and genuinely need the Shennong Cauldron! So, why are you afraid to consider a compromise?
Upon hearing this revelation, Ye Hongxuan and Ye Wanwan were both taken aback. They hadnt antic.i.p.ated that the fiance of Master Huangfu was also an alchemist.
Now, the situation had indeed become complicated. Clearly, no alchemist encountering the Shennong Cauldron with the chance to claim it would willingly back down.
Moreover, if this continued, there was no guarantee they could secure the
Shennong Cauldron. Behind Ye An t an stood Huangfu Ling, the patriarch of the Huangfu family, whose wealth far surpa.s.sed that of the Ye family.
Although the pills produced by the Ye family were highly sought after, the costs a.s.sociated with alchemy were substantial. Hence, the Ye familys resources were undoubtedly inferior to those of the Huangfu family.
Ye Hongxuan was well aware that, even as the Ye familys patriarch, he couldnt sacrifice the entirety of the Ye familys a.s.sets just to acquire the
Shennong Cauldron..
