But her current situation forced her to bite the bullet and carry on.
'Fortunately, that Exotic Stone doesn't belong to the Business Alliance,' she thought. 'Otherwise, even if I wanted to win it at auction, I wouldn't have had the chance. It would have gone directly to Jiang Lan.'
'He probably doesn't know what's inside it, but he might have some way to probe or spy on it…' Shang Mingyu took a deep breath, her clear eyes calm as countless thoughts flashed through her mind while she speculated silently.
'Someone is actually competing with Jiang Lan?'
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, then a gloating smile appeared on his lips.
Meanwhile, at the auction outside, after Shang Mingyu had her maidservant call out a bid, several more voices rang out.
A few ancient clans and Dao Lineages made attempts to bid, also showing great interest in the Exotic Stone.
After a few rounds, the auction price quickly soared to two million Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
