Dumbfounded, thank you

Xie Qiyi muttered to himself, unable to understand why Bai Li Hongzhuang was so accurate in her calculations.

Even though he was in the private room, he could feel the mocking gazes of others. He had truly failed in his attempt to get back at Bai Li Hongzhuang, ending up embarrassing himself instead.

"Big brother..." Xie Honglang frowned and couldn't help but speak up.

However, before Xie Honglang could finish his words, Xie Qiyi glared at him angrily and exclaimed, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't distracted me, I wouldn't have continued bidding!"

Xie Honglang was taken aback, feeling speechless. His older brother was actually placing all the blame on him?

Realizing this, Xie Honglang decided to remain silent. He would let Xie Qiyi handle everything on his own.

"How could Young Master Xie be so foolish?" Liu Hongshen's eyes were filled with disbelief. If such a foolish person became the head of the Xie family in the future, the family would be completely doomed.

He was certain that Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't have the intention to toy with Xie Qiyi from the beginning. It was only because Xie Qiyi's bids became more and more outrageous that Bai Li Hongzhuang took such action.

The other party didn't plan this carefully, yet Xie Qiyi still ended up in such a miserable state. If they had planned it meticulously, Xie Qiyi would have been truly finished.

On the side, Liu Xuerong didn't know what to say after witnessing the scene. Even she found Xie Qiyi's actions extremely ridiculous, unable to sympathize with him in the slightest.

"Congratulations, Young Master Xie. You have successfully acquired the sheepskin scroll for a price of 200,100 gold coins!" Tong Jingshuo's face was filled with a smile as he instructed the waiter to deliver the sheepskin scroll to Xie Qiyi's private room.

These words, originally meant as a congratulation, sounded particularly ironic to Xie Qiyi's ears. Unfortunately, he could only swallow this bitter pill in the current situation.

"Haha, Xie Qiyi must be going crazy right now!" Yuan Liqing couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Who would have thought that after we haven't been in Yuanwu City for some time, Xie Qiyi would become even more foolish? He will never be a match for our Yuan family in the future!"

Yuan Hongyang also smiled faintly. "All thanks to Miss Bai Li."

"Hongzhuang, thanks to you, not only did Xie Qiyi lose face, but our chances of obtaining the Profound-ranked martial technique have also greatly increased," Yuan Liqing expressed her gratitude with a beautiful face. Bai Li Hongzhuang truly had a clever and delicate mind, making her admire her.

Listening to Yuan Liqing's words, Bai Li Hongzhuang waved her hand dismissively. "It's all because of Xie Qiyi's own doing."

Xie Qiyi stared at the sheepskin scroll in front of him, filled with regret. If only he could tear it apart!

200,000 gold coins!

Gone just like that!

Xie Honglang furrowed his brows. "Big brother, the auction for the Profound-ranked martial technique will begin soon. Should I send someone back to the clan and ask them to allocate more funds? Otherwise, it'll be difficult for us to bid for the Profound-ranked martial technique without those extra 200,000 gold coins."

Although Xie Honglang felt speechless about what Xie Qiyi had done, he still knew what was most important at the moment.

The Profound-ranked martial technique had tremendous significance for their clan. They couldn't afford to fail because of this farce.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qiyi also snapped back to reality and immediately said, "Alright, you should immediately ask the clan for additional financial support!"
