Chapter 633: Chapter 633

Tu Yilong reflected on the first half of his life and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of melancholy.

Since his birth by his mother, and from the moment he became aware, he was constantly addressed as the Third Young Master. Everyone treated him with the utmost respect, and he enjoyed endless glory and wealth.

However, at the same time, a multitude of beliefs were forcibly instilled within him: The interest of the clan above all else!

A Tu family member in life, a ghost of the Tu family in death!

When one's personal life and property are in conflict with the interests of the family, the family interests must always take precedence!

These principles, as if innate, buzzed in his ears now and then, leading him to gradually consider these beliefs the sole guidelines for his actions.

He had never doubted whether these guidelines were correct or not. It seemed that they were just inherently right.

But now, with Chen Suyi's sudden remarks, he felt a moment of uncertainty in his heart.

Suddenly, Tu Yilong felt a chill around his neck.

He promptly snapped back to reality, turned his head to glance at Chen Suyi, and quickly looked away, his eyes even flashing with a hint of fear.

Chen Suyi was clearly an ordinary person, so why could her words strike at his heart, almost leading him astray?!

This simply shouldn't be the case. As a Grandmaster Level Expert, his resolve was firm, and it was impossible for an ordinary person to breach his mental defenses.

At this moment, Xu Hao, Elder Xie, Wu Kui, and other Grandmaster Level Experts all looked at Chen Suyi with surprise.

But after a thorough examination, they all looked away in unison, having discovered nothing unusual.

Chen Suyi, a bit confused, touched her face and said, "Why are you all looking at me? Do I have something on my face?"

Xu Hao laughed and said, "You are more beautiful than flowers, it's better to look at you than at flowers." Lovethisstory?Showsupportat*.

"Hmph! Flatterer!" Chen Suyi was inwardly pleased but still mockingly scolded Xu Hao with a laugh.

Xu Hao smiled and didn't speak further. Chen Suyi's recent words had indeed unsettled Tu Yilong's mind, which was a bit odd. But if she happened to speak what Tu Yilong had in his heart, it would make sense.

Tu Yilong, who had lived for years in a grand residence, might truly be tired of that structured life.

Tu Yilong gathered his thoughts, pretended that nothing had happened, cleared his throat, and said, "Hmph! Think you can disturb my conviction? Dream on! Being a member of the Tu family, I must seek benefits for it, because the relationship between me and my Tu family is like that between lips and teeth! I won't be participating in this auction of Elixir Pills."

"Looks like you're admitting defeat, huh?" Anna said with a playful laugh.

"Hmph!" Tu Yilong snorted coldly and said no more.

He now was somewhat reluctant to talk with the woman by Xu Hao's side. Though beautiful, one in a million in terms of quality, they seemed somewhat odd. In contrast, the woman in traditional dress who had been silent the whole time seemed to be the most normal of all.

With Tu Yilong not interjecting, Xu Hao also lost interest in bidding.

The bottle of Elixir Pills was not worth that much money, but due to the special circumstances in Huadu, and the fact that it was currently a period of upheaval, every family power wanted to strengthen themselves, hence the inflated price.

Eventually, the Wu Family purchased the Elixir Pills for a high price of thirty-three billion.

The expressions of the Qian Family and other Family Heads were somewhat dejected, but they were not overly distressed, as this was foreseeable.

And the members of the smaller clans accepted this reality calmly. The Wu Family was already the largest clan; if they grew stronger, the first to be threatened would be the other large clans, not them.

At worst, they could simply swear allegiance to them when the time came.

The auction continued.

Elder Dong suddenly said, "Now, we will bring up the last item of tonight's auction, which is also our final showpiece!"

Xu Hao looked up, and Tu Yilong uncrossed his legs.

At that moment, everyone perked up, their eyes fixed on the doorway where the auction item was about to emerge.

Everyone understood that Tu Yilong's twenty billion was undoubtedly prepared for this auction item.

So what exactly was it that could make the Tu family willing to spend twenty billion to acquire it?

Everyone was curious about this.

As everyone's anticipation reached its peak, the two ladies slowly stepped out from the doorway.

The same golden box, red cloth.

From the appearance, there was nothing different.

Xu Hao carefully sensed, but didn't detect anything unusual.

At the very least, there were no significant Qi Force fluctuations or energy waves.

It felt, perhaps, somewhat ordinary?

But how could something the Tu family treated with such caution be truly ordinary?

Besides, did the Tu family come up with twenty billion under the belief that there were others present who could compete with them?

Many looked towards Elder Xie, who had his eyes slightly closed.

Could it be that the Valley of the Medicine King would bid against the Tu family for this item?

It seemed that, among those present, only the Valley of the Medicine King was regarded by the Tu family with such seriousness.

After all, Xu Hao was young, a junior, and it would not be likely for the Tu family's higher-ups to take him so seriously.

But then, who could have an item that would captivate the hearts of major powers like the Tu family and the Valley of the Medicine King?
