"Ahem, ahem..."
At this moment, everyone was a bit embarrassed, thinking to themselves that they must be hallucinating. The auction host on the stage was also adjusting his glasses, almost stumbling to the ground. Were all these people shills? He wasn't too sure, because these bidders didn't belong to a single group. As the auction host, he was quite familiar with the connections in the outer court. But just now, the bids didn't all seem to come from one source, which made him ponder if this item was really something valuable.
Curious, he picked up the pearl for further inspection, thinking to himself that it looked quite ordinary. There seemed to be no difference at all, and even the appraiser said it was just a regular Luminous Pearl.
"Oh wow, this young master seems to have set his eyes on a hot item. Are you doing this on purpose? Trying to con me?"
Liu Chen stood up at this point, rolling up his sleeves like he was ready to confront anyone trying to cheat him!
