"Yes, yes, yes!" When Xiao Hua heard that Fu Zhiwen had gleaned so much information from it, he was astonished at first, but after giving it some thought, he became thoroughly convinced and nodded. "If the ruler of Tongzhu Kingdom were here, this dragon bone would certainly remain within Tongzhu Kingdom's royal household and might not be put up for auction. But since the dragon bone is being auctioned here, your ruler must not know about it. And if the ruler does not know, Star Picking Tower would not notify the other royal descendants either.
