In fact, from the moment this auction item was brought onto the stage, Ye Luochen had sensed something unusual.
A faint yet undeniable feeling of longing began to rise from the martial soul within his body.
And when the covering cloth was lifted, revealing the auction item completely before his eyes,
that longing instantly became incomparably intense, so intense that he was finding it difficult to restrain.
It was as though, the moment he relaxed, the Dark Iron Blade would immediately materialize on its own and fly toward the carving knife on the auction stage.
And from his past experience, if that happened, whatever came into contact with the Dark Iron Blade would likely meet a very unpleasant end.
That was why Ye Luochen looked so conflicted at that moment.
This was an auction venue.
That carving knife was the "surprise grand gift" the auctioneer had repeatedly emphasized.
Although no one yet knew what it truly was,
until it was purchased, it belonged to the auction house and could not be offended.
"What's wrong with you?" Meng Hongchen's voice came from beside him.
Hearing this, Ye Luochen forced down his martial soul. Only after struggling for quite some time did he manage to speak:
"I don't know either, but you must help me buy it. You must."
After saying that, he refocused and devoted himself to suppressing his restless martial soul.
Upon hearing this, the Hongchen siblings both wore puzzled expressions.
With their discernment, they could naturally tell that something was off about Ye Luochen's current state.
But what did that have to do with the carving knife on the auction stage?
Why did he insist that they had to purchase it?
Just as the two of them were bewildered, the auctioneer's voice rang out from the stage once more.
