After the scholar appeared, the water swiftly receded, then transformed into a strangely shaped pool of azure blue that encircled the three light clusters of different colors.
Xiao Hua had initially been astonished by the appearance of those light clusters, unable to understand what they represented. But when the water waves emerged and turned azure, separating the three clusters, he immediately gained a trace of understanding. Wasn't this... the appearance of the Three Great Continents? And weren't those waters the Four Seas?
Still, Xiao Hua found it strange. The Xiaoyu Continent was boundlessly vast, and no one had ever known its shape. Why, then, did someone know the shapes of the Three Great Continents? Could it be that the cultivators of the Three Great Continents far surpassed those of the Xiaoyu Continent in cultivation? With such thoughts in mind, Xiao Hua's attention was clearly different from everyone else's. He stared fixedly at the edges of those light clusters! Alas, their edges were exceptionally blurred. If these were said to be the borders of the Three Great Continents... wasn't that far too slapdash?
"Good evening, fellow immortals and esteemed seniors!" The scholar stood at the prow of the boat, gently opening the folding fan in his hand and giving it a slight wave. Then he cupped his hands and bowed all around. "This humble one is named Yu Xin, courtesy name Linfeng. Today, this Star Picking Tower auction of Ming Yue Palace shall be hosted by yours truly! Oh, I nearly forgot! Though I cannot see you all, surely I cannot be left talking to myself in this sea of stars, can I? Mm, fortunately, several masters of the Buddhist Sect and seniors of our Confucian cultivators are here to keep me company..."
As he spoke, Yu Linfeng stamped his foot.
