Chapter 97: The Ancient Family, Suffocated to the Point of Vomiting Blood!

  "Father, elder sister, punish Lin'er." With this urging, Gu Lin's face turned even paler, and then he knelt down on the ground with both knees.

  "It's all over." Gu Huo felt as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts, and from Gu Lin's appearance, it was not hard to tell that the ominous premonition in his heart had indeed come true.

  "What's going on, did the Silver Flame Spear really get lost? Is that really the Silver Flame Spear?" Gu Huo still held a glimmer of hope, otherwise the Gu family would truly be humiliated to death.

  "On that day, not only did Luo He die at his hands, but our family's silver spear was also taken away by that little bastard. Lin'er is afraid of Grandfather's blame, so he didn't dare to tell you this news."

  At that time, Gu Lin only said that Luo He was killed, but did not mention that Yin Yan's long gun was taken away, which means that Gu Huo was kept in the dark all along.

  "At that moment, Gu Ho felt as if the sky had fallen, his face turned bright red, his throat was a little sweet, and a mouthful of blood surged up, but he swallowed it back down."

  "Old master Gu, didn't you just say there was evidence? Where's the evidence now?" Yi Chen naturally saw that scene and immediately smiled.

  "You." Gu Hu was so angry that he couldn't speak, he didn't expect the other party to be so shameless, not only did they steal the treasure but also put it up for auction.

  This is a complete loss of face for the Gu family! They can't even keep their treasured heirloom, and it's being auctioned off right under their noses.

  This is not just losing treasure, but a loud slap in the face of the Gu family, and it's especially loud.

  "Unbelievable, could that silver flame spear be real?" Gu Huo's expression fell into the eyes of the crowd, and immediately sparked a lot of speculation.

  "How about it, Gu Jiazhong? This silver flame spear is not a replica, right?" Jia Ding's face smiled even more intensely.

  "Hum, you Jia family auction house, why did you steal the heirloom of our Gu family?"

  Gu Hu was after all the master of the Gu house, and his methods were beyond ordinary people's comparison. He quickly regained his composure and shouted in a very angry tone.

  "Talking is easy, but you need evidence. If someone brings it to my auction house for sale, then it's their property. If you want to settle accounts, you should find the person who sent the goods for sale." Jia Ding waved his hand disdainfully.

  "Since it's like this, then who exactly is the one who sent the Silver Flame Long Gun here for auction?"

  Although Gu Huo knew that the goods were sent by Yi Chen for auction, there was no convincing evidence. In order to save face for the Gu family, he had to interrogate Jia Ding.

  "Sorry, our auction house has rules, we absolutely cannot disclose customer information." Jia Ding directly waved his hand in refusal.

  "I see you're hiding the truth, return the ancient family's Silver Flame Long Gun to me."

  Gu Huo's tone was filled with indignation, and then his body jumped up, jumping down from the wing room, stretching out to grab the Silver Flame Spear.

  "You dare." Jia Ding didn't expect the other party to rob him, but he wouldn't let Gu Hu get away so easily. With a flash of his body, he quickly arrived at the long gun's side and slapped it with a palm, making a breaking sound as he struck towards Gu Hu.

  Gu Huo's combat experience was extremely rich, how could he be hit so easily? He flipped his palm that grasped the Silver Flame Spear and collided with Jia Ding's incoming palm.

  "Peng." A muffled sound rang out, and Jia Ding's two bodies trembled simultaneously. Then, Gu Huo twisted his waist and took advantage of the shock to retreat, landing steadily on the auction stage.

  "Our family heirloom is lost, and you actually blame the auction house. I suspect that your family deliberately asked someone to bring the long gun for auction in order to frame our auction house." A faint smile appeared on Yi Chen's face.

  "That's right! It is possible that Gu Huo is a strong master of the Yellow Soul Realm, but who can take away his Silver Flame Long Gun?"

  As soon as this sentence came out, the crowd that was standing on Gu's side earlier began to point at Gu Huo with suspicion in their tone.

  I didn't expect Yi Chen to be so shameless. Gu Ho turned his head coldly and looked at the person in front of him, now he couldn't wait to strangle this little scoundrel to death.

  "Could it be that the master of the Gu household still suspects me of stealing your Silver Flame Spear? You are a strong practitioner in the Huang Soul Realm, while I am only in the Chen Soul Realm, and I couldn't possibly steal your treasure. Are all of you from the Gu household useless?" Yi Chen said with an innocent face, uttering words that nearly made Gu Huo spit blood.

  "That's a big loss!" Knowing the truth, Jia Xin naturally knew that Yi Chen was sarcastically saying that the Gu family members were all useless, and immediately gave him a thumbs up.

  Upon hearing this, Yi Chen merely shrugged slightly. The humiliating words Gu Huo had spoken to the Yi family earlier still lingered in Yi Chen's mind, and now that he finally had a chance for revenge, how could he let it slip away so easily?

  "Good, good, very good." Gu Huo panted with a forced smile, but the smile was accompanied by a ferocious glint.

  "Old master, what are you going to make a scene about? Our auction is still ongoing!" Jia Xin loudly protested.

  As soon as this sentence came out, many good things started shouting, letting Gu Huo hurry up and leave, and let the auction continue.

  Gu's face was extremely unsightly, but he couldn't afford to offend the crowd. Most of the people who came here for the auction were prominent figures in the imperial capital, and if they all got offended, it would be a fatal blow to the Gu family.

  Thinking of this, Gu Huo had no choice but to turn his head and return to the inner chamber.

  "What should we do now, Grandfather?" Gu Yun asked helplessly, looking at Gu Lin.

  "It can only be bought back, otherwise, in front of so many people, letting the Silver Flame Spear fall into someone else's hands would have an even greater impact on the Gu family's reputation." Gu Huo said in a deep voice.

  "Our family heirloom, and you actually want to buy it back with gold coins?" Gu Yun's face changed from cloudy to clear, she turned her head to look at Yi Chen, a cold glint appearing in her beautiful eyes.

  A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, Yi Chen couldn't help but shiver, turned his head and exchanged a brief glance with Gu Yun, then directly chose to ignore her.

  "You're being targeted, be careful." Jia Xin reminded.

  "As long as she dares to come, I will definitely make the Crown Prince wear a green hat." Yi Chen said with a smirk.

  "Haha, Xiao Yizi, I found that you've become more cunning." Jia Xin said with a sly smile.

  "The auction for the Silver Flame Long Gun is now starting, with a starting price of one million gold coins. Each bid will increase by 100,000 gold coins!" Jia Ding's voice echoed in the hall.

  "Starting price is one million? Each bid increase is 100,000, how can this not be a robbery?" Gu Lin's face turned red as he shouted.

  Gu Hu's face turned even uglier. At this price, even if he got the Silver Flame Spear back, it would come at a tremendous cost!

  "That's the rule of the auction, if you don't want it, then don't bid." Jia Xin responded with great dissatisfaction.

  "I'm a very rule-abiding person, 1.1 million gold coins." Yi Chen was very cooperative, raised his hand and directly called out a price.

  The more he shouted, the greater the loss for Gu's family, and Yi Chen was very happy to do such a thing.

  "One million two hundred thousand." He was pleased, but Gu Huo had a strong urge to kill someone and finally shouted out this price with a sense of suffocation.
