As far as Elder Lin was concerned,
what she worried about was never people taking advantage of her.
It was Huo Yuhao and the others being unwilling to take advantage of her.
If that happened, all her careful plans would come to nothing.
Elder Lin secretly gave a signal and softly instructed the maid beside her,
"Go. Bring those items out."
She needed to reveal some of the Treasure Pavilion's hidden cards.

Elder Lin sat behind the counter with her arms crossed, her face full of confidence.
She believed that, with the Treasure Pavilion's resources, there would definitely be something these people wanted.

Wang Dong stopped before one of the counters.

Instinctively, she wanted to take the left arm soul bone immediately.

Her initial excitement was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over it, cooling considerably.
