In front of the Yegui Xiang Auction House, after dealing with Tian Ji, Lin Yifan led Xiao Fang into the auction.

After that incident, no one dared to mess with him or contemplate crossing the beautiful Heavenly Immortal-like Xiao Fang at his side.

Meanwhile, Zhong Hongyan descended from the upper floor and personally went to welcome Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang.

Lin Yifan was an important guest, so she had to personally greet him.

As soon as he entered, Lin Yifan saw Zhong Hongyan.

"Mr. Lin! What a coincidence, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here as well. It's truly a case of destined people meeting from thousands of miles away, while those not fated do not encounter each other even when face to face," Zhong Hongyan approached with a laugh.

Looking at the flamboyantly gorgeous woman before her, Xiao Fang felt a bit repelled and didn't want Lin Yifan to have too much contact with her.

"Miss Zhong, what are you doing here?" Lin Yifan asked in surprise.

Encountering an acquaintance, he felt that everything would be easier to handle.

"There's an auction here in Yanjing, so I flew over to host it," Zhong Hongyan replied.

"Oh! Is that so? Then it really is a coincidence," Lin Yifan responded.

"Mr. Lin, this beautiful lady is...?" Zhong Hongyan eagerly inquired, a bit curious.

She had noticed Xiao Fang early on and was keen to know her real name.

"She's my senior sister, her name is Xiao Fang, you can just call her Xiao Fang," Lin Yifan answered.

"Oh! It's Miss Xiao Fang, nice to meet you!" Zhong Hongyan stretched out her hand, wishing to shake hands with Xiao Fang.

However, Xiao Fang did not want to shake hands, thus creating an awkward moment.

"Uh... Miss Zhong, please don't mind, my senior sister is a bit aloof, don't take it to heart," Lin Yifan quickly interjected to ease the awkwardness.

"No worries, no worries! I understand that exceptionally skilled people are a bit aloof," Zhong Hongyan forced a smile.

From Xiao Fang's behavior, she surmised that Xiao Fang was not just Lin Yifan's senior sister; she could very likely be Lin Yifan's girlfriend, or a woman who liked Lin Yifan.

"Tsk tsk! You've quickly won over one; I'm truly impressed," Zhong Hongyan inwardly sighed.

None of Lin Yifan's women were inferior to her, which made her feel somewhat disheartened, sensing that she no longer had the ability to allure Lin Yifan.

"I really wonder how he manages so many, and whether he can handle the peaceful relations among his girlfriends," she referred to how Lin Yifan managed the harmonious interactions of his girlfriends.

"Good to know, good to know!" Lin Yifan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his tense mood relaxed slightly.

He didn't understand why the normally polite Xiao Fang had suddenly acted rudely, which made him feel quite embarrassed and at a loss.

Luckily, Zhong Hongyan was gracious and appropriate, otherwise they would have to head to another auction house.

Regaining her composure, Zhong Hongyan asked, "Back to business, Mr. Lin, what brings you here this time?"

"I'm a bit strapped for cash recently, so I'm thinking of selling a few Elixirs," Lin Yifan got straight to the point.

"Sure, sure! Please come inside and have a seat, let's talk in detail!" Having said that, Zhong Hongyan led the way.

Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang followed closely behind, going along with her.

Soon, they arrived at the conference room.

At that moment, Lin Yifan and Xiao Fang took their seats separately.

The sofa in the conference room was very soft, even softer than the taxi's, so Xiao Fang had just sat down when she was startled and jumped up.

Watching this scene, Zhong Hongyan was full of question marks, not understanding what was happening, and then she asked, "Miss Xiao Fang, what's wrong? Is there something on the sofa?"

"The sofa is broken!" Xiao Fang said in panic.

"..." Zhong Hongyan was speechless, as the sofa was clearly fine. How had it suddenly become broken? However, to avoid offending the guest, she still decided to go over and check it herself.

But just as she was about to get up, Lin Yifan stopped her, "Hehe! Miss Zhong, don't be offended. My master sister hasn't been exposed to much, so she thinks anything that sinks is broken, but actually, the sofa is not broken."

"Oh! So that's what it is, no wonder!" Zhong Hongyan suddenly realized, her eyes filled with curiosity towards Xiao Fang.

She had met many cultivators from the Cultivation World, but none had reacted like Xiao Fang, which made her quite unique.

After explaining, Lin Yifan persuaded, "Master sister! Please sit down, the sofa isn't broken; it's just very soft."

"Really?" Xiao Fang was a bit skeptical.

"Do you think your junior brother would lie to you?" Lin Yifan countered.

With the reassurance from Lin Yifan, Xiao Fang carefully, bit by bit, sat back down. Only when the sofa no longer sank did she finally feel at ease.

Zhong Hongyan, who was sitting across from them, was amused by this scene and thought Xiao Fang was hilariously fearful of the sofa.

Facing the ridicule, Xiao Fang was a bit annoyed, but knowing that they were in need of help, she swallowed her anger.

The atmosphere became a bit tense, so Lin Yifan no longer waited and immediately got to the point, starting the negotiation.

He took out several elixirs and let Zhong Hongyan set the price.

Zhong Hongyan was astounded by the elixirs that Lin Yifan casually displayed; each of these pills was a high-level elixir, worth at least tens of billions.

"Clear the debt I owe of fifty billion, and pay whatever extra you can from these." Lin Yifan began languidly.

These elixirs were refined by Xiao Fang and were of high quality, so they should fetch a good price.

"Did you refine these elixirs?" Zhong Hongyan asked in surprise.

"No, my master sister did," Lin Yifan replied.

"Your master sister?" This time, Zhong Hongyan was shocked again, and her attitude immediately changed, no longer ridiculing Xiao Fang.

To be able to refine such high-level elixirs, she must be a senior alchemist, and given the quality, even better than what Lin Yifan refined; such a person was certainly not to be offended but rather to be catered to carefully.

So, she first had someone take the elixirs away to appraise and price them; then she went over to foster relations with Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang was startled by Zhong Hongyan's sudden attentiveness and didn't know what she wanted. However, ready to face whatever came her way, she was curious to see what tricks Zhong Hongyan would play.

For this situation, Lin Yifan was not surprised, as Zhong Hongyan was the kind of person who was easily swayed by wealth. Whatever she did was always in pursuit of profit. So fostering relations with Xiao Fang was definitely an attempt to establish a good relationship, followed by a partnership, and ultimately a mutually beneficial and prosperous future for both sides.

The appraisal and pricing of the elixirs were completed quickly, and Lin Yifan obtained over a hundred billion.

Since Su Qingqing had already paid part of the debt, subtracting what was owed, Lin Yifan was left with over ninety billion.

Ninety billion was already a significant amount. Lin Yifan first had Zhong Hongyan pay a few tens of thousands in cash, then had her deposit the rest into his bank account.

Plane tickets wouldn't cost but a few thousand, so this amount of cash would be more than sufficient.
