If news that Hu Yan was still alive got out, it would be just as Bai Zhi said. Anyone who knew of their relationship would be lining up with money, hoping to invest in her auction house.
Of course, Hu Yan wouldn't actually do that, just like today when he told her not to factor him in.
But by the same token, based on Zelda's understanding of Bai Zhi's spending habits recently, what she said was probably all true. Owning a house not far from Hu Yan's private residence, making an 800-million-Star-Coin investment just like that, and having a large shopping mall on the Main Star—it all pointed to the fact that Bai Zhi had a considerable amount of Star Coins, and possibly even other investments they didn't know about.
Add to that Bai Zhi's status as an SS-level Purification Master and Hu Yan's backing, if she really opened an auction house, she would undoubtedly become their fiercest competitor.
