The new round of bidding began once more. The auction hall's attention was gradually drawn to the new treasures. Yet the murky relationship between Young Master Gu Sheng of the Heavenly Armor private room and the Zi Xiao Saintess had already become like a boulder dropped into a still lake, its ripples quietly spreading.
Countless overt and covert gazes occasionally swept toward those two quiet Heaven-tier private rooms, filled with probing and speculation. Tonight was destined to be anything but ordinary.
The auction continued in an orderly fashion. After the first item, the Qing Nang Leaving Fire Art, had been "gifted" away in an astonishing manner for the sky-high price of twenty million, the dozen or so items that followed were all rare treasures.
From scarce heavenly materials and earthly treasures to powerful spirit artifacts and magical treasures, then to pills and talismans with unusual effects, every item sparked fierce bidding and sold one after another at considerable prices. The atmosphere in the hall remained heated.
However, Gu Sheng in the Heavenly Armor private room seemed somewhat distracted by the bidding wars. Before the auction had begun, he had already skimmed through the list of items. Most of them were either useless to him or valuable but not urgently needed at the moment.
Even the few that appeared beneficial to cultivation paled in comparison to the inheritance he had obtained from Venerable Cang Long's secret treasury.
At that moment, most of his thoughts were occupied by the suddenly appearing "Zi Xiao Saintess."
Her resentful, lingering words, as though she could not forget an old love, hung over his heart like mist.
He was certain that he did not know her, yet the details in her words and their precise implications could not possibly have come from nowhere.
