Chapter 220 Conflict Arises Between Two Families (2)
Under Gu Yuchuan's methods, every desire in their hearts is magnified infinitely. For example, their desire for the Tianwu girl on stage, or their hatred for their rivals or their anger at verbal provocations. These desires are slowly increasing, but gradually, they have reached the point where they can no longer control their own minds.
Song Cheming was deeply offended by this insult. Even when someone is being insulted, they are still exposed for their weaknesses. Wang Ruoyu had hit the spot that hurt him the most. He had a younger brother who was four years old and had just had his spiritual root checked. His brother's spiritual root was slightly better than his own. His parents had placed all their hopes on him and had even taken away a lot of his salary, which made him very angry.
He pointed at Wang Ruoyu and said, "How dare you bully me like this, you brat?"
Song Cheyan gestured the number four to his cousin, who immediately understood and shouted out a high price of four hundred. He raised his head and looked at the other party arrogantly, as if he had already trampled him under his feet.
"Wang Ruoyu, go ahead and keep shouting if you dare. Let's see how much capital you have to compete with me. Your Wang family is probably finished."
Below, many guests had fallen silent, clearly not daring to get involved in the conflict between the Wang and Song families. Only the sounds of string and wind instruments told everyone that this was a place for enjoyment.
The madam tried to ease the tension, knowing that causing trouble here would negatively impact her reputation: "Young masters, you're here to have fun, why get so worked up? Your affairs are for the high and mighty Golden Core cultivators to handle. You're here at Caiyun Pavilion to enjoy yourself; getting angry is not worth it."
Behind the colorful clouds, there are also Golden Core cultivators in charge, but they are not from Ye City. As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, so naturally, they are not tough when facing them.
However, the madam was, after all, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and her words carried some weight. She managed to make the situation look a little better, but their faces were still filled with anger. Clearly, this was only a temporary solution, and their anger had only been suppressed for the time being.
After Wang Ruoyu sat down, he looked at his cousin. Just as the other man had said, these three hundred spirit stones were indeed his last savings. His dissolute behavior over the past few years had finally become unbearable for his father, who then began to control him. These three hundred were truly what he had saved up in the past; he simply didn't have any more.
Wang Ruokang held up a number two, and his eyes lit up: "I'll bet five hundred. Song Cheming, I want to see how many spirit stones you have left to fight with me."
Five hundred coins could buy a decent magic weapon, which would double the combat power of cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining. However, they preferred to spend it on this, which shows that the Wang and Song families, despite their centuries-old lineage, have actually had a rotten foundation.
Song Cheming secretly glanced at Wang Shuyun. He knew that this young lady's wealth was beyond their reach. As long as she made a move, they would definitely win this time. However, he didn't dare to speak up.
Song Shuyun naturally understood his meaning. She glanced at the Wang family members opposite her. Wang Ruoyu stood up, looking superior with a mocking expression, as if victory was assured. Song Shuyun then had her own ideas.
“Song Cheming, in principle, I certainly cannot lend you funds if you come here to solicit prostitutes. However, the nature of the auction has changed. It is no longer about who can win the beauty, but a battle for face between my Song family and the Wang family. Since I am here today, I cannot stand by and watch my Song family’s face be damaged. Go ahead and shout.”
Song Cheming's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had been thirsty for a long time and had seen a mountain spring: "Miss, I will certainly not let our Song family lose face."
He turned and stood up, his voice much louder: "Wang Ruoyu, if you have no knowledge, don't shout like that, lest it make your Wang family seem like you, all ignorant. I'll offer six hundred spirit stones."
This price is definitely overpriced. There have been auctions of the first time of Qi Refining cultivators in the late stage before, but they usually didn't reach this price. The madam must be overjoyed.
Wang Ruoyu was extremely unhappy to see his prize slip away, and he pointed at Song Shuyun and started cursing.
“Song Shuyun, you’re a young lady, why don’t you stay at home? You come to places like this with a few men every day, do you really think you’re not a man? With you like this, you’ll probably have a hard time finding a husband in the future. You even give Song Cheming money to do this kind of thing, I think you’ve ruined your reputation.”
Song Shuyun was too lazy to speak, but the guards behind her stepped forward, and the atmosphere instantly became very tense.
The madam stepped in again to smooth things over: "Young Master Song is truly generous. I wonder if there are any other young masters willing to offer more? If not, Miss Tianwu will belong to Young Master Song tonight."
Even though Wang Ruoyu had many grievances, he didn't have any more money and could only watch as the other man won the heart of the beauty. However, when Song Cheming went upstairs, he even turned his head to look at him provocatively. At this point, Wang Ruoyu could no longer hold back his temper.
In reality, Gu Yuchuan's exotic fragrance had already burned out, and they could no longer suppress the unbearable feelings in their hearts. He sat in the corner, watching the grand show he had put on, feeling quite satisfied.
Wang Ruoyu actually unleashed a burst of magical power at Song Cheming. The Song family guards immediately rushed out, and a sword light also shot out. The Wang family guards reacted quickly, blocking in front of their young master. Although the other party was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was not there to cause trouble. He had a high cultivation level and a high resistance to illusions, and he still had some sense. If he killed the Wang family's young master, the situation would be different.
"Young Master Wang, you've gone too far. I won't hold it against you this time, otherwise, these guards behind you won't be able to withstand me."
Wang Ruoyu broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know why he had made the move. He had never done anything like this before, and feeling humiliated, he couldn't stay any longer. So he got up and left.
Gu Yuchuan unleashed a burst of magical power upon him. Tonight at midnight would be the time of Wang Ruoyu's death. A Qi Refining cultivator could do little to resist his magical power.
As for Song Cheming, he followed them invisibly. After the two of them entered the room, he used magic to knock them unconscious. An hour later, he killed Song Cheming and then disappeared into the night.
Suddenly, a piercing scream rang out from the colorful clouds. It was Tianwu's voice. She sat on the bed, her clothes disheveled, her eyes filled with shock. Song Cheming was lying on the ground, covered in blood. Something terrible had happened, she realized.
