When Xiang Zhiruo stopped bidding, only a man dressed in white remained in the auction house, still raising his bidding paddle. Naturally, this precious Qi-Condensing Herb ultimately fell into his hands. "Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully winning the Qi-Condensing Herb!" the host announced, drawing waves of applause from the audience. The man in white turned and cast a smug glance toward Xiang Zhiruo, his smile revealing a hint of provocation.
Seeing this, Xiang Zhiruo clenched both fists, fury burning in her heart as she wished she could draw her sword and attack him on the spot. To her, this was not merely an ordinary defeat in an auction, but a critical moment concerning the life and death of her entire family. Any action that hindered her from gathering the necessary materials was tantamount to a direct threat to her family's future survival. She would never let this person off easily.
As the auction gradually drew to a close, Xiang Zhiruo turned to Lěng Yè and asked, "How do you plan to take back that Qi-Condensing Herb? Shall we go straight to him and settle this with force?"
