YM778.TV Chapter 210: Yin and Yang (Part 2)
"Father, it seems that bitch from the Yin family is here too... hehe..."
"Haha, son, no need to be so rude... after all, she is your elder..."
Yan Jin chuckled, "It seems our little dispute will entertain so many guests... hm, how embarrassing."
"Heh. Of course, it\'s quite a shame, but isn\'t it a good opportunity to make the Yin family spit blood? Hahaha!"
The other man was Yan Wei, the heir of the Yan family. He resembled his father, though his eyes were blue. He wasn\'t particularly handsome—not ugly, but not a beauty either!
"Hm, you\'re right, son. Those bitches once managed to snatch our family heirloom... hahaha! I wonder what expression Yin Jinhua will have if I seize her family\'s relic?" Yan Jin licked his lips and squeezed a servant\'s breast, making her groan—not from pleasure, but from pain. "Hehe... I\'ll make you serve me with your gentle mouth, Yin Jinhua!
Only then will you atone for your mistake!"
"Father is always magnificent!"
"Of course, son! I\'ll share her with you when the time comes!"
"Humbly grateful, Father!"
"Hahaha!"
***
The situation for the Yin family was quite sad. Their funds were running out, and Yin Jinhua gritted her teeth.
"The Yan family bids 100 million Spiritual Stones!"
Boom! Crash!
"Bastard!"
Yin Jinhua stood up from her seat and, in anger, smashed a bottle of wine on the ground, then the table. Her Qi at the Soul Integration stage, 9th level, began to burst out, causing the servants to fall to the floor and beg for forgiveness.
"Bastard! Yan Jin, do you think you\'re immortal? Dare to try to snatch our family\'s relic from my hands? Dream on!" Yin Jinhua gritted her teeth and shouted, "110 million Spiritual Stones!"
"Mother!"
The girl accompanying her, her daughter Yin Yuchen, couldn\'t help but cry out, stunned.
"We don\'t have that much money! And if we really spend so much, what about our clan\'s development?" Yin Yuchen asked worriedly, trying to persuade her mother.
"Hmph! Shut up! Don\'t you understand that if our relic falls into the hands of that bastard, our family will lose its superiority? In the past, our family seized their family heirloom and managed to halt the growth of the Yan family. But if this thing falls into their hands... I fear we will immediately fall from the Heavens to the Earth!"
Yin Jinhua angrily scolded Yin Yuchen, who hunched her shoulders in fear. No one in the room dared to speak up.
A few seconds later...
"The Yan family bids 120 million Spiritual Stones!"
"Shit! Yan Jin, you fucking impotent, fuck you and your whole fucking family!"
Yin Yuchen shrank back in fear, moving to a corner. She didn\'t want to get caught in her mother\'s wrath. No one in the Yin family dared to get caught in her hot temper.
The bidding continued. For the guests, tonight\'s evening turned out to be a pleasant surprise, as it was for the auction house. They were overjoyed.
The price had already reached 160 million Spiritual Stones!
"Even if we only get 8 million, our reputation after today will be even stronger!" Xian Jue thought excitedly, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. "I wonder how much the Yin family is willing to pay to keep their secret? Although, I doubt I\'ll survive after that... haha..."
Xie Qing also sat, speechless. The sums were reaching unbearably high numbers. It felt like these two families were competing over who had more money.
"Either way, I don\'t care how much money they\'re willing to spend. But if the Yin family is smart enough..." his eyes sparkled.
***
"…"
The Yan family, who had been joyful a moment ago, now sat with grim faces.
"The Yin family bids 200 million Spiritual Stones!"
"Damn it!"
Yan Jin stood up from his seat, barely restraining himself from strangling Yin Jinhua. He even hit his favorite servant, knocking her unconscious.
"What the hell. Where did she get so much extra money? I underestimated the power of this family of hypocritical women!"
"Father... should we continue?" Yan Wei asked grimly, feeling a bit of unease and irritation.
"Continue? Are you serious?! We\'re out of money! I can\'t spend any more, or the youngsters of our family will have to eat clay and worms!" Yan Jin shouted angrily, forcefully slapping Yan Wei\'s face.
"Agh..."
Yan Wei flew back against the wall, receiving a slap. He coughed up blood and trembled, feeling several ribs break.
"I-I asked a stupid question... I\'m sorry, Father..."
"Good that you understand! Hmph! Yin family, my Yan family will not forget this humiliation! Let\'s go!"
Yan Jin gritted his teeth and turned around, leaving. The women exchanged glances and darkened.

"Congratulations to the Yin family for acquiring the lot \'Heavenly Yin Pendant\' for 200 million Spiritual Stones!"
The host announced the end of the auction and congratulated the Yin family on their victory. Meanwhile, in the Yin family\'s private room, there was a celebration.
"Hahaha! My daughter, we won! Hahaha! How do you like that, Yan Jin? HAHAHAHA!"
Yin Jinhua laughed loudly and behaved not very befittingly for the head of a family, but no one dared to point it out. She spun around, stood on chairs, and jumped off, behaving like a child.
Yin Yuchen bowed, expressing her congratulations.
"Congratulations, Mother. Our ancestors will be very happy to know that you have returned our relic. I\'m sure your name will be recorded in the annals of the Yin family!"
"Haha, what are you doing, daughter? No need for extra politeness, we\'re family!"
Yin Jinhua cheerfully giggled, taking Yin Yuchen\'s hands and helping her up.
"When you were shouting at me, it didn\'t feel like I was your daughter..." Yin Yuchen thought, barely restraining herself from rolling her eyes.
A few minutes later, a beautifully dressed woman entered the room with a wooden box containing the item.
"Madam, miss... this is your lot. Please transfer 200 million Spiritual Stones before opening..." the worker said, bowing, holding the wooden box.
"Hmph, does the Jianxuan auction house not trust my Yin family?" Yin Jinhua snorted and, interrupting the worker who was trying to explain, handed over a spatial ring. "Here. Do you want me to wait while you count? I wouldn\'t want my Yin family to be accused of cheating!"
"How dare we? Lady Yin Jinhua\'s name is known throughout the world. We wouldn\'t dare..." the worker bowed and handed over the box, taking the spatial ring.
As she approached the door, Yin Jinhua suddenly stopped her.
"Wait. Pass on a request to the owner that I intend to meet with the seller of this item!" Yin Jinhua said with a stern face. "Tell her that I am willing to pay any amount of money just to meet this person. I swear by the name of the Heavenly Dao that I will not take any actions to harm this person and will not reveal their identity, let alone the history behind them!"
"I-I understand..."
The worker bowed and left. As soon as she closed the door, Yin Jinhua\'s noble and arrogant demeanor disappeared.
"P-please, Mother... we need to be careful..."
"I can\'t wait! Open the box!"
Yin Jinhua trembled with excitement, feeling a slight chill as Yin Yuchen slightly opened the lid.
"This is it... this cold Qi... it\'s real!" Yin Jinhua exclaimed joyfully.
It seemed her strength had left her as soon as this pendant appeared. She fell to her knees, crying with joy, which made Yin Yuchen feel a slight shiver.
"Seven hundred years... so much time has passed since we lost our relic. It even led to cases of children being born without the Yin attribute in our family! But now, with this pendant, our problems are solved! We will soar to the heavens!" Yin Jinhua laughed joyfully.
Although her face was covered by a veil, Yin Yuchen could imagine the happiness the woman was experiencing.
A few minutes later, the worker returned with the news.
"The seller is willing to meet."
***
Xie Qing sat in a rather luxurious room in the company of Xian Jue. The woman smiled brightly.
"Who would have thought that you are the owner of the auction house. I must say, I was a bit surprised..." Xie Qing said, sipping his wine.
"Please, don\'t be. I\'m a bit embarrassed for hiding it from you, but I don\'t like unnecessary attention. I hope you understand," the woman bowed and smiled.
"Relax, I have no benefit in exposing you. More importantly, those two from the Yin family want to meet with me?" Xie Qing asked, casually crossing his legs.
"Yes. My worker said their reaction was... quite exaggerated. I\'m here to ensure that Yin Jinhua doesn\'t allow herself to threaten you!"
"She couldn\'t harm me even if she wanted to very badly. But I appreciate your concern."
Xie Qing shrugged. With his level of cultivation and items, he was safe even when meeting a cultivator at the Divine Transformation stage.
And just then, as if sensing the impatience, the Yin family opened the door and entered.
"We kept you waiting. Please forgive us."
