It was the same woman to whom he had sold the knife today.
All eyes were fixed on the elevated jade platform at the center of the hall, where a woman stood, her presence commanding silence without effort.
She was the auctioneer, Lady Mei Lan, her flowing azure robes rippling like liquid starlight, her voice sharp yet melodic, cutting through the murmurs like a blade through mist.
"Honored guests, thank you for coming on short notice, but I assure you that this auction will be worth every effort you made for these two days.
The item we've gotten our hands on might be the dream of many, so those who miss this opportunity will definitely cry in self-blame later on. After all, this type of opportunity doesn't come often.
So, let's not wait further and start this auction. Everyone is already aware of the rules, but let me remind you once more for someone who might be attending for the first time.
Bids will be made using mortal spirit stones.
