The disciple of the Fallen Leaves Sect previously delivered spirit stones to VIP Box 20 and received a generous reward from Xia Ruofei. Naturally, he returned this time with high expectations. To his dismay, Xia Ruofei offered no acknowledgement and didn't tip a single extra spirit stone, leaving the disciple deeply disappointed.
Of course, a low-Level disciple wouldn't dare show any displeasure. He simply bowed respectfully to the three men and retreated from the room.
Xia Ruofei did this intentionally, of course.
He wanted to feign complete indifference toward the ore. By acting slightly irritable and dropping his generous habits, he planted a seed. If anyone pressed the Fallen Leaves Sect disciple for information after the auction, they would notice this detail and assume that buying the ore had ruined his mood.
This made it look as though he had tried to sabotage Wu Ming, only to end up shooting himself in the foot.
