At this moment, Fang Zaitian, standing on the stage, picked up the microphone and said, "I suppose I don't need to introduce it much, right? This sword is called Yuhun, unearthed from the tomb of King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Sheng. Three years ago, I was fortunate to encounter it abroad and bought it for a high price. It's said to be inherited from the Western Zhou Dynasty and passed through the hands of many famous generals, the most famous being General Bai Qi of the Qin Kingdom during the Warring States period. This sword followed Bai Qi all his life and was his personal sword. In the end, Bai Qi used this very sword to end his own life!"

Although Fang Zaitian claimed to have purchased the sword abroad for a high price, everyone present surely didn't believe it. But now, no one cared how Fang Zaitian got the sword; they only cared about whose hands it would fall into tonight!

At this moment, Qin Ruomeng glanced at Ye Tianfan and asked in a low voice, "Does this sword have any special significance? I've seen you staring at it for a long time."

"Of course, it does!" Ye Tianfan replied in a lowered voice.

To ordinary people, this Yuhun sword naturally appeared unremarkable. Perhaps even Fang Zaitian couldn't see its mysteries, but within the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm, it held a significant position. The power contained within the sword was beyond imagination! Any Ancient Martial Cultivator would go crazy for it!

"Stop the nonsense and start bidding."

Someone shouted from the audience, and suddenly, the entire ballroom was in a whirl, with many powerful auras emerging, and the hidden forces began to stir.

Fang Zaitian curled his lips into a sinister smile and said, "The starting bid, one yuan!"

One yuan?

Ye Tianfan immediately frowned, a gleam flashing in his eyes as he looked at Fang Zaitian. He was stirring up trouble!

The sword had been missing for decades, and many hidden forces on the Huaxia Land had been quiet for decades. Now that the sword reappeared on the Huaxia Land, it would inevitably trigger another bloody scramble!

This Fang Zaitian, arriving from Hong Kong to the mainland, made it his first act to throw out this sword, with a purpose all too clear. He wanted to disrupt the order of the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm! To incite bloody battles among the various forces and then reap the benefits!

Fang Zaitian, his ambition was indeed not small!

At this moment, Ye Tianfan narrowed his eyes, looking at Fang Zaitian, and couldn't help but wonder, what exactly did this Fang Zaitian want?

Just then, Qin Ruomeng's voice suddenly rang out, "Qin Group bids one million!"

"Damn!"

Qin Ruomeng's shout truly startled Ye Tianfan! He had been wondering who would be the first to bid, to fight for the Yuhun sword! But to his shock, the first person to shout a price was Qin Ruomeng! And she started with a million!

"My dear Miss Qin, what are you up to?" Ye Tianfan asked.

Only to see Qin Ruomeng's face reveal a charming smile, her almond eyes slightly raised, looking at Ye Tianfan, she said, "It's rare to see you interested in something. Tomorrow is your birthday. Since you like this sword, I will buy it as a birthday gift for you."

"Then I really have to thank you!"

A wry smile rose in Ye Tianfan's heart. Qin Ruomeng clearly didn't understand the intricacies involved. In this ballroom, there were at least dozens of hidden underground forces, including some Ancient Martial strongmen. Everyone had their eyes on the sword, and buying the sword meant buying trouble! Becoming the target of all!

Qin Ruomeng smiled lightly and said, "Why are you being polite with me? Isn't it just a matter of spending some money? As long as you're happy, that's what matters!"

Ye Tianfan's mouth twitched, and he said, "Happy, I'm very happy!"

But just as Ye Tianfan was feeling a headache coming on, Long Yuqing's voice suddenly sounded beside him, "Long Group bids two million!"

Long Yuqing's sudden bid not only made Ye Tianfan's heart sink, but also caused Qin Ruomeng's brow to furrow, her face full of frost! In an instant, anger filled her beautiful eyes as she turned to look at Long Yuqing. She had just made a bid, and Long Yuqing immediately followed with a bid. What did this mean? Was she issuing a public challenge to the Qin Group? Or was she targeting her? Was this signaling the beginning of a business war between the two families?

At this moment, Long Yuqing, smiling, sat beside Ye Tianfan, her eyes full of emotion as she looked at him and said, "Tomorrow is your birthday, huh? Why didn't you mention it earlier!"

The meaning behind Long Yuqing's words was all too clear. She also wanted to buy the sword as a birthday gift for Ye Tianfan! This immediately enraged Qin Ruomeng!

Ye Tianfan was her fiancé. Ordinarily, she had never seen him interested in anything. Now he was interested in this sword, so as his fiancée, it was perfectly normal for her to buy it for him. But what did Long Yuqing count as! Why did she also want to compete with her in bidding? Why did she want to buy this sword for Ye Tianfan?

"Three million!" Qin Ruomeng, unable to contain her anger, coldly swept her gaze over Long Yuqing and immediately offered a higher bid.

But Long Yuqing seemed completely unconcerned with Qin Ruomeng's reaction. Still, with affectionate eyes at Ye Tianfan, she nonchalantly raised her hand and called out, "Four million!"

"Five million!"

"Six million!"

Hearing the two women bidding, Ye Tianfan only felt a headache. One Qin Ruomeng was enough, and now even Long Yuqing was drawn in. It seemed that not buying this sword would be out of the question; they were bent on making life difficult for him!

"Seven million!" Qin Ruomeng, eyes filled with anger, shouted another high bid.

Long Yuqing smiled slightly, unwilling to show weakness, raised her hand to bid again when suddenly a man's voice came from the corner: "Ten million!"

This instantly broke the deadlock, and everyone's gaze turned towards the man. Although he had deliberately worn a white collared shirt under his suit, it could not hide the black snake tattoo on his neck.

Seeing that black snake tattoo, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. This man was from the Yaqi Society!

Even at Fang Zaitian's charity ball, a foreign power like the Yaqi Society was present, which was a bit too much!

Ye Tianfan's face darkened. This Yuhun sword was a Huaxia treasure. Even if the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm fought to the death over it, it was still a matter of Huaxia people! Behind closed doors, they were all descendants of Yan and Huang, and no matter which force ultimately got the Yuhun sword, it wouldn't go beyond the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm. But if foreign forces got involved, it was a different matter! If a Huaxia treasure fell into their hands, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm?

Just then, a frail voice suddenly sounded, accompanied by a light cough, "Fifty million!"
