The girl looked to be only seventeen or eighteen, and she bore some resemblance to Xu Yanli.
"Prince Xiaoyao..." Elder Ma's eyes narrowed instantly as he shot a quick glance at Xu Yanli.
Strangely, there wasn't even an auction platform on the stage where she stood.
"Greetings, honored guests. I'm today's auctioneer, Jiujiu. It's my great honor to host this top-tier auction. Everyone's time is precious, so I'll keep this brief. The auction officially begins now. Next, please turn your attention to our first item." After speaking, she smiled sweetly and performed a proper, intricate, and elegant bow. She raised her right hand in a graceful gesture of invitation, and the scene changed in an instant. The Soul Tool screen on the wall immediately displayed an image of an item.
Only then did everyone understand. No wonder there was no auction platform—the items were displayed directly as enlarged images. The ten-meter-wide wall showed every detail of each item with perfect clarity.
Qingya hurriedly explained, "This honored guest certainly has a keen eye. Auctioneer Jiujiu is the chief auctioneer of the Starlight Auction Arena, and its only Gold-level auctioneer. She only puts on her gold auctioneer's robes when an item worth over a hundred million gold coins comes up. And there's something you may not know: she's the youngest sister of the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire. But she specifically told us that, in the auction hall, she's simply an auctioneer, so we wouldn't dare address her as Your Highness."
Xu Yanli gave a soft laugh. "She certainly has time on her hands."
A dignified imperial princess, personally serving as an auctioneer...
Xu Yanli's brows knitted together at once, because that thing up there truly shouldn't have belonged here—or, rather, shouldn't have existed here at all.
