Song Yan calmly stared at the panicked woman in front of her. In fact, she only came to attend the auction if Shen Yu had not gone out of her way to create trouble for Song Yan then she wouldn't have even bothered with this woman. After all, her pill-refining furnace was much more important than Shen Yu's.
Gu Bai couldn't care less about Shen Yu and Old Master Gu, sure, they had some power in their hands but the head of the Gu family was none other than Gu Chenyi and ultimately Gu Bai only listened to Gu Chenyi.
As Gu Bai stared at the S+ grade talisman in his hand, his expression changed from excitement to sheer awe. Song Yan, on the other hand, calmly looked at the man whose face was alight with excitement and did not say anything, she had been drawing talisman for ages now.
With her skills forget about an S+ grade talisman she could even draw an S++ grade talisman with ease but she did not wish to show her superior skills to the world. Now that everyone in the auction house saw that she was capable enough to draw an S+ grade talisman, it was going to bring her enough trouble.
If they were to find out that she was so skilled then Song Yan would be bombarded with a bunch of cases. Though she did not hate earning extra sums of money she did not wish to go out of her way to help people and burden herself.
Of course, it did not matter in this case, some people in the Gu family started to have ideas regarding her skill. The only reason the Gu family was still standing was because of Gu Chenyi, if her master was to abandon this family then it wouldn't take a day for Song Yan to bring this family to shambles as she knew that as high and mighty the Gu family pretended to be, they were not that great.
The Gu family might have been one of those great families in the past but they were no longer the same. Ever since Gu Chenyi's father passed away while dealing with an evil spirit, the Gu family went down the drain—— now the only reason they were still standing at the top was Gu Chenyi. If one was to take Gu Chenyi away then the Gu family was nothing more than a paper tiger.
Thus, Song Yan was not afraid of them.
What they learned was in the end some bookish texts—- at most the elderly ones might have learned some ancient arts but she was different, she had practiced her skills in the presence of evil and malevolent spirits that these people might have never even seen!
When Song Yan snapped out of her thoughts, Gu Bai was staring at her while trembling with excitement. He stared at her with disbelief etched on his face because he knew that Song Yan's skills were way better than just drawing an S+ grade talisman, If she wanted she could even draw a talisman which was a grade higher than this one! Contrary to the appraiser who needed a machine to test the effectiveness of this talisman, Gu Bai who was the head of the auction house did not need anything like that, he was way more skilled than the appraiser and the machine that the appraiser used.
He sensed a dense spiritual energy coming from the talisman, it was so dense that Gu Bai was sure that if they were to use this talisman a frightening amount of Yang energy would be released. This talisman could deal with a tenth-rank ghost with ease!
This talisman was a treasure and Song Yan who drew it was simply unprecedented! No wonder Gu Chenyi went out of his way to make Song Yan, his disciple. If their family missed someone like Song Yan then they would die of regrets!
" Madam Song, if you don't mind would you like to sell this talisman to our auction house?" Gu Bai knew the worth of this S+ grade talisman, if they were to push their way then earning a hundred million yuan with this life-saving talisman would not be difficult!
When the guests of the auction house heard Gu Bai's words, they all turned to look at Song Yan. They might not be Celestial masters but they were more than aware of the importance of an S+ grade talisman, the last time Gu Chenyi drew an S grade talisman it was sold for more than ninety million yuan and though the price looked exorbitant, it was very reasonable.
The woman who bought that talisman was more than hundred and fifty years old, They heard from the scattered vines that the old woman was once part of a fatal plane accident but because she was carrying that S-grade talisman on her, she did not even get a single scratch on her body and was fortunate enough to survive!
The power of the S-grade talisman was already enough to leave them in awe of just how great would be the S + grade talisman.
" Not yet," Song Yan turned to look at Shen Yu who had been acting indignant just a few minutes earlier. Though the woman had been jumping like a clown just now, she was now deathly pale while trembling like a rabbit getting wet under the rain. She swayed left and right as if she was about to faint making Song Yan curl the side of her lips, " Just like my husband said, Miss Shen had not only gone out of her way to humiliate me by not sending me the invite of this auction which shows that she is not capable enough to handle the matters of Gu family but…"
A mocking glint flashed in Song Yan's eyes as she added, " She also went out of her way and questioned my abilities and made shameless claims which degraded my relationship with Master Chenyi. Now, she not only has to kowtow three times to me but also apologize in a manner that will show her sincerity. Because if she doesn't then I will leave this auction house and leave you all to deal with the wrath of my master."
