The moment those words fell, the entire hall was stunned.
Qing Ya was also taken aback when she heard the bid, but then she became somewhat pleased. After all, this was the first time anyone had bid on this knife at the auction house.
She immediately looked toward the source of the bid, only for her expression to collapse the instant she saw who had raised the plaque.
Because the one holding up the bidding paddle below the stage was none other than Yao Shi.
"Junior Brother, have you lost your mind?! That's the notorious Soul Devouring Carving Knife! Are you sick of living?!"
Xiao Hongchen jolted in shock when he saw Yao Shi beside him raise his paddle and bid.
Meng Hongchen, on the other hand, gently touched his forehead and looked at Yao Shi as though he were an idiot. "Strange. You don't have a fever, Junior Brother, so why are you trying to buy that thing?"
"If you want a carving knife, you could just ask Grandpa for one."
When Qing Ya saw that Yao Shi was the bidder, her face was filled with concern as well. He was a friend of both her and Princess Jiujiu, and she could not bear to see him lose his life because of this vicious blade.
So, she tentatively addressed the entire hall again. "All right, Guest No. 91 has bid one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. Does any other guest wish to make a higher bid?"
At this moment, she still hoped someone else would bid and take it away, as long as that person was not Yao Shi. She believed Yao Shi wanted to purchase the knife because he did not yet understand its danger. If someone else bought it, she could explain the knife's origins to him
