Cangnan Old Ancestor’s reluctance to spend his fortune was plainly visible to Wu Mengyao. Yet, he was not annoyed by her hot-and-cold attitude; rather, he desired to completely conquer, both body and soul, this woman who had once been so far above his station.
"Mengyao, the spirit land auction proceeds from low to high. If you don't like Taonan Cold Island, then let's wait until the highest-ranked of the thirty-two medium-grade spirit lands is presented."

Once I complete the rebuilding of the Cold-Ice Palace and return it to the ranks of the top sects, we can watch over and assist each other with the Cangming Water Mansion. By then, how many sects would dare bully us?"
