After successfully bidding for the Seven Star Flower, neither Ye Hongxuan nor

Ye Wanwan had a pleasant expression.

Especially Ye Hongxuan, his face could be described as overcast, like impending rain. There was no trace of happiness visible due to acquiring the Seven Star Flower.

Nevertheless, the auctioneer had no choice but to muster courage and continue speaking, Congratulations to Miss Ye Wanwan for securing our last showcase item.

It didnt take long for someone to deliver the Seven Star Flower to Ye Hongxuan and Ye Wanwan.

Observing the delivered flower, even though it was a rare and precious spiritual plant, Ye Hongxuans expression didnt improve. Regardless, he paid the bill with a somber face.

In this situation, he couldnt afford to renege on the deal, even if he was reluctant. He couldnt tarnish his reputation.

However, his att.i.tude toward Ye Wanwan at the side took a downturn.

This marked the first time he treated Ye Wanwan with such indifference. Until now, Ye Wanwan had been his pride young, talented in cultivation and alchemy, and adept at handling social interactions. Unexpectedly, she acted impulsively today.

His concern wasnt the 1.2 billion Spirit Coins; he was displeased with Ye Wanwans rash actions. It wasnt conducive to her future development. If she lost her composure over minor provocations, what accomplishments could she achieve later? Hence, this incident required a stern lesson.

On the other hand, Ye Wanwan dared not even take a deep breath. She realized she had truly messed up this time, but it wasnt intentional. If not for Ye

Anans provocation, she wouldnt have impulsively increased the bid. It wasnt her fault.

Though resentful, she refrained from defending herself. She understood that speaking up now would only anger her father further.

With the successful conclusion of the final auction item, the auction ended perfectly. Those who secured what they wanted wore smiles, while those who couldnt, though disappointed, didnt harbor significant negative emotions. Only Ye Hongxuan and Ye Wanwan wore persistently gloomy expressions.

As Ye Hongxuan and Ye Wanwan headed outside, they unexpectedly encountered Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan at the door

The saying goes, When enemies meet, their eyes turn red. Although they werent enemies, in Ye Wanwans heart, if it werent for Ye Lengan, she wouldnt have paid such a hefty price for the Seven Star Flower. She pondered how she would explain herself to the elders upon returning to the family.

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, however, remained composed. Their expressions remained unchanged as if the recent unpleasantness never occurred.

Nodding, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan were prepared to leave.

Despite Ye Hongxuans displeased expression, being the head of a prominent family, he maintained composure. Thus, he nodded in acknowledgment of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan.

If it were a lesser family, he might have left in disdain. However, the Huangfu familys strength surpa.s.sed that of the current Ye family. Therefore, despite his discomfort, he wouldnt offend the patriarch of the Huangfu family.

However, evidently, Ye Wanwan lacked this understanding. Seeing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan about to depart, she, fueled by anger, impulsively remarked, Seems like youve done something wrong, so youre feeling guilty and in a hurry to leave!

This statement instantly disrupted the previously calm atmosphere, creating tension.

Wanwan, be quiet, Ye Hongxuan immediately reprimanded. Who allowed you to speak recklessly?

He then turned to Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, expressing apologies, Apologies to Master Huangfu and Miss Ye. Wanwan is still young and inexperienced. Please forgive her for any offense!

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Lengan couldnt help but burst into laughter.

Rather than easing the tension, the laughter heightened the awkwardness in the atmosphere..
