4174: He thought that he was forced into a dead end.

He thought that he was forced into a dead end.

"Young master Yuwen is right. In order to prevent people from causing trouble, I have a suggestion. If the family is not strong enough and eventually loses, the five-colored spirit stones used in the auction should also be used to repair the formation. If there is any surplus, the winning family can take it." Zeng fanjian added. As he spoke, he looked at Ling Chuxi with a triumphant look.2

"This ... What does this mean? are you trying to compete with me for more money?" Ling Chuxi was stunned.

Ling Chuxi could see through Yuwen Siyuan's plan with a single glance. This move was simply taking drastic measures.

The Ling family was poor. This was a publicly acknowledged fact. Even if she, Ling Chuxi, scraped together a few spirit stones to put up a front, she would definitely not be able to compete with the Yuwen family. Losing to Yuwen Siyuan was one thing, but losing face was another. The key was that they couldn't even think about taking back the spirit stones they had taken out. They would have to use them to repair the barrier and array. It was like losing the wife and the soldiers.

As for how many spirit stones were needed to repair the formation, Elder Gong would have the final say. Perhaps Yuwen Siyuan would be able to snatch four more slots from the Ling family without spending a single cent. While trampling on the Ling family, he might even be able to earn a small fortune.

Of course, Ling Chuxi could also choose to give up. However, if there was no beginning or end, wouldn't it be even more of a joke?

It had to be said that Elder Gong was sinister and despicable enough. With Yuwen Siyuan, they were like a tiger that had grown wings. In an instant, they had forced Ling Chuxi into a dead end. Of course, this so-called dead end was just their wishful thinking.

Ling Chuxi wanted to laugh. No matter how rich the Yuwen family was, as a young master, it was impossible for them to carry all their money with them. If they were to compete with her in terms of money, they would definitely die.

Although she was thinking this in her heart, Ling Chuxi put on a troubled expression on the surface. It was as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

Originally, Ling Chuxi had thought that spending spirit stones to buy a few slots was not a big deal. She could just take it as helping the Ling family gain face. However, the slots clearly belonged to the Ling family. She was still a little unwilling to waste this money. However, Yuwen Siyuan and Zeng Zhengping had jumped out and given her another choice. You guys want to screw me over, right? fine then, let's play slowly. Let's see who will have the last laugh.

Ling Chuxi believed that as long as she threw out tens of thousands of five-colored spirit stones, she would be able to scare Yuwen Siyuan away. However, this would not do. If he ran away, wouldn't she have to be a sucker? she had to lure him in.

Those who were qualified to participate in the great judgement were all elites of the great clans. They were quick-witted and had a clear view of the situation, so their reactions were even faster. They whispered to each other and soon understood what Yuwen Siyuan and Zeng fanjian were up to.

"Despicable!" Some people in the crowd even cursed in a low voice.

"Three great elders, we're doing this for the sake of fairness. I wonder what the three great elders think?" Yuwen Siyuan cupped his hands and said respectfully to the elders. However, he secretly observed the changes in Ling Chuxi's expression. Seeing that she was in a difficult position, he sneered smugly,"Hmph, Ling Chuxi, didn't you just extort two million five-colored spirit stones from the hands of the Zeng family's uncle and nephew? I'll make you spit it out with interest before you can warm up. I'll crush your spirit and let you have a taste of what it's like to draw water with a wicker basket.
