"Your Highness, these... should we bid on them?" After agonizing for quite some time, Ma Rulong finally asked cautiously.
"No," Xu Cheng said lightly. "The fact that they're here means the Star Luo Empire already has duplicates, if not higher-level soul tools. Even if we stop Shrek from buying them, they can buy another set from the Star Luo Emperor. Star Luo would still pocket the money. Not worth it..."
