87: Chapter 87: Mess with him!

After Lin Yi successfully bid for the broken sword,

the auction came to its final lot.

“This closing item is known as the Star Stone, a rare gem from an exotic realm.”

Li Xin lifted the red cloth off the last auction item, revealing a fist-sized silver gemstone that emitted an extremely dazzling light.

“This Star Stone contains a potent Star Spirit Power which can aid Martial Artists in cultivating secret techniques; moreover, it’s a high-grade material for Artifact Refining, Engraving, and Array Formation!”

The appearance of the Star Stone immediately caused an uproar in the auction hall.

Little Jin, who had been lying next to Lin Yi throughout the entire auction, suddenly lit up, slapped Lin Yi’s thigh, and said, “Good stuff!”

“Kid, quickly bid for this stone!”

“What’s so good about this thing?”

Seeing Little Jin so excited, Lin Yi was astonished.

“Haven’t I told you about the Fourth-stage Array Formation before?”

Little Jin stared intently at the Star Stone, “This Star Stone is the main material for setting up a Fourth-stage Array Formation!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was truly shocked!

The main material for setting up a Fourth-stage Array Formation!

Did that mean with this Star Stone, Little Jin could arrange a complete Fourth-stage Array Formation?

If he had a Fourth-stage Array Formation, for Lin Yi, it would mean he’d have an extra powerful Life-saving Talisman!

Indeed, it was good stuff!

He must get it!

Lin Yi’s eyes shone with eagerness.

“The starting bid for the Star Stone is one million gold taels!”

However, the next sentence from Steward Li Xin completely extinguished Lin Yi’s aspirations.

The starting bid was one million gold coins!

That meant the final transaction price would at least double!

Unless Lin Yi was willing to sell his last valuable possession, he might just barely qualify to compete against the others!

Yet, just as Lin Yi was calculating how much money he could get for the things he had left,

the bidding had already begun inside the hall.

This time, seeing that Lin Yi wasn’t participating in the bidding, Cang Yun confidently raised the price.

It wasn’t long before he pushed the price up to two million.

“Alright, no need to count anymore,”

Lin Yi completely gave up the struggle, choosing to lie back down.

Even if he sold everything he owned, he couldn’t gather two million gold taels.

In the end, the Star Stone was auctioned off at a price of two million, five hundred thousand by Fang Yue.

Although Cang Yun didn’t ultimately secure the Star Stone, he played a significant role in driving up its price.

Whether he wanted it or not wasn’t the point; the important thing was to severely annoy Fang Yue.

“That damned Cang Yun, if it weren’t for that kid maliciously driving up the price, this young master could have saved at least five hundred thousand gold coins,”

Fang Yue looked gloomily at Cang Yun in the back row.

If it weren’t for the fact that Cang Yun was from the Cang Family, Fang Yue would never have let him off the hook!

The elder in grey beside him chuckled, “Why be upset, young master?

It’s only a matter of five hundred thousand gold coins.

Don’t forget, we still have a big deal worth one million to handle.”

“A big deal worth one million?”

Fang Yue’s eyes lit up instantly, and his gaze swept towards Lin Yi’s position, then a curve formed at the corner of his mouth.

That’s right!

The broken sword in this kid’s hands.

If he could get away, not only could he make up for the money Cang Yun tricked him out of, but he could also have a surplus of several hundred thousand gold coins.

“Keep an eye on him, don’t let this fish slip away!”

A cold glint flashed in Fang Yue’s eyes.

Kid, I can’t touch the Cang Family for now, but messing with you shouldn’t be a problem.

Who asked you to recklessly compete with me over my items?

“It’s hopeless.”

As the Star Stone found its new owner, Lin Yi looked at Little Jin with a face full of regret, “It seems this Star Stone is not meant for us!”

Little Jin shook his head and sighed, “It’s not that it’s not meant for us, it’s that it’s not meant for the poor.”

Lin Yi found himself at a loss for words.

At this point, he finally realized that he truly was a pauper!

From now on, finding a way to earn more money was the real deal.

“Let’s go!”

Having completely dismissed the idea of the Star Stone, Lin Yi and Little Jin stood up, ready to depart.

“Young master, that kid is about to leave!”

The grey-clothed elder hastened to alert Fang Yue.

“Quick, follow him!”

Fang Yue was not about to let Lin Yi, this “fat sheep,” slip away and promptly prepared to lead his men in pursuit.

But just then, a very annoying voice suddenly came through, “Fang Yue, how does it feel to have spent hundreds of thousands more?”

Fang Yue saw that it was Cang Yun walking towards him with a smug look on his face.

“Get lost, I don’t have time for you right now.”

Fang Yue ignored Cang Yun and immediately led the grey-clothed elder and the others on a brisk chase.

“Is this kid in a hurry to be reborn?”

Cang Yun frowned, knowing Fang Yue well enough that under normal circumstances, Fang Yue would not have taken this lying down.

Could this kid be up to no good again?

Driven by curiosity, he followed.

However, when he saw that Lin Yi was the target of Fang Yue and his men’s pursuit,

“Fang Yue, that kid, is actually going after Lin Xiu?”

Cang Yun’s eyes lit up in an instant, “He’s really asking for it!”

“Hurry up and follow them, there’s going to be a good show now!”

This Lin Xiu, even he wanted to steer clear of him and never see him again if possible!

And Fang Yue was actually plotting against him?

This kid really has guts, no fear of death!

It turned out his guess was right, this kid was indeed in a rush for reincarnation!

How could he miss such an exciting scene?

Outside Cang City.

Lin Yi had just left the city not long before.

From ahead, the sound of rustling footsteps approached.

A large group of people blocked his way, led by Fang Yue.

“Kid, hand over that broken sword and I’ll spare your life.”

Fang Yue looked at Lin Yi with a face full of arrogance.

“What do you mean?”

Lin Yi was taken aback and looked directly at Fang Yue, his face showing a strange expression, “Are you…

trying to rob me?”

“That’s right!”

Fang Yue did not bother to cover it up, nodded, and said, “Cut the crap and hand it over quickly, or I’ll smash your dog’s head!”

“To think that you would rob me, excellent!”

“Very good!”

Lin Yi grinned, his bright smile making Fang Yue feel a bit uneasy.

What’s with this kid, getting robbed and still so happy?

“You seem to be the one who spent two million five hundred thousand to get the Star Stone, right?”

Lin Yi recognized Fang Yue, his smile growing even brighter, “It seems like the heavens are looking out for me after all, knowing that the Star Stone is of great use to me, and specially delivered it right to me, so I won’t be polite.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yue’s brows furrowed.

What the heck?

He came to rob this kid, and now the kid is targeting him?

What did this attitude of treating the Star Stone in his hand as if it’s already his own mean?

Has this kid lost his mind?

“Uncle Ao!

Take care of him!”

Fang Yue waved his hand at the grey-clothed elder beside him.

Without another word, the grey-clothed elder “swooshed” as he revealed iron claws and rushed towards Lin Yi!
