Inside the auction hall, everyone froze, their eyes fixed on the pink garment with rabbit ear decorations on the tray.
After a brief silence, suppressed murmurs rose up like a tide, buzzing loudly.
"Did I hear that right? Pajamas?"
"And they're pink... with bunny ears?"
"Have the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School...lost their minds?"
"This thing starts at 500 gold soul coins? Who would buy it?!"
"This is outrageous! It's an insult!"
Some people found it absurd and laughable, some looked disdainful, and others felt it was a provocation.
Private rooms on the second floor.
Liu Shaobing's facial muscles twitched slightly, then he regained his composure and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.
Wu Chen, who was standing next to him, stared wide-eyed, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"Old Liu, what... what is Master Ning up to? Using a woman's pajamas as the grand finale? Has he gone mad?"
Wu Chen's voice was very low, but he couldn't hide his shock.
In another private room, Jiang Shaocheng of the Spirit Hall froze his faint sneer, which turned into an expression that was a mixture of astonishment and contempt.
He wanted to see what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was really up to.
On the auction stage, Ang Lee felt sweat beading on his forehead, but he forced himself to stand up straight and maintain the professional demeanor of an auctioneer.
Although he also felt in his heart that the venue owner had gone too far this time.
Just as everyone was discussing and the situation was about to get out of control, a clear voice rang out.
"Six hundred gold soul coins."
The voice came from the private room of City Lord Liu Shaobing.
Wow!
The discussion abruptly ceased, and all eyes turned to the direction of the second floor.
This is insane!
Someone really has gone mad!
Spend 600 gold soul coins to buy... something like this?
Even Ang Lee on stage was stunned, and almost dropped the auction gavel in his hand.
Wu Chen suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Shaobing.
"Old Liu! What are you doing? Buying this for six hundred gold soul coins? You..."
Liu Shaobing raised his hand to interrupt him, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
"Old Wu, are you stupid?"
"Think about it, why would something like this appear at an auction? And as the finale item?"
Wu Chen frowned:
"Why? I think that owner Ning is out of his mind!"
Liu Shaobing shook his head.
"No, this just proves that this owner of the Ning farm is no ordinary person."
"Why do you think he would bring out such a private and strange thing?"
"Humiliate us? Unlikely. Attention-seeking? Possibly, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't be that bored."
Liu Shaobing paused, then lowered his voice.
"He's testing our reaction!"
"Look at the attitude of the various factions in Soto City towards this new auction house owner and this 'outrageous' item!"
Wu Chen's eyes widened slightly, as if he understood something.
Liu Shaobing continued, "This item itself is not of high value, but it represents a stance."
“If we show rejection or ridicule, it will be difficult to deal with him in the future.”
"If we accept it, or even buy it, wouldn't that send a... friendly signal?"
"Think about it, Qibao Auction House only prepared for this auction for a day, yet they were able to put together these auction items. Could this Master Ning be an ordinary person?"
Liu Shaobing chuckled, a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.
"This new owner of the venue, Ning Liu, is quite interesting."
"If you befriend him, you'll never have to worry about getting good stuff from him in the future."
"Six hundred gold soul coins, buying an attitude, buying the possibility of the future, it's a good deal!"
Wu Chen suddenly realized, and his gaze toward Liu Shaobing held a newfound respect.
"You, Lao Liu, always have a quick mind!"
On the auction stage, Ang Lee finally came to his senses.
He cleared his throat, and despite still being filled with doubt, he called out according to procedure.
"The VIP on the second floor has bid six hundred gold soul coins!"
"Six hundred gold soul coins for the first time!"
He looked around the room, waiting to see if anyone else would raise the price.
Another corner of the auction house.
Xiao Wu looked at the pink pajamas on the stage, her little face puffed up with anger.
"Hmph! This auction house is outrageous!"
"They just auctioned off girls, and now they're auctioning off this...this shameless stuff!"
She muttered angrily in a low voice.
Tang San sat next to her, his expression calm, and simply shrugged.
"The world is a vast and wondrous place. All kinds of people and all kinds of quirks can be found."
He didn't care too much about it, but he found it a bit strange.
Xiao Wu snorted and turned her gaze back to the pajamas.
For some reason, she felt a vague sense of familiarity with that dress.
Pink fabric, fluffy bunny ears...
etc!
There seems to be a small embroidered pattern on the chest area of that garment.
Because of the distance and angle, it's not very clear.
But as the staff slightly rotated the tray, the embroidered pattern clearly came into Xiao Wu's view.
It was a carrot rabbit with slightly clumsy stitches but an extremely cute appearance!
Xiao Wu's pupils suddenly contracted!
That was...that she embroidered it herself!
It's her favorite nightgown!
How did I get here?!
An indescribable surge of shame, indignation, and rage instantly overwhelmed her!
Her pajamas!
Those were her nightgowns, worn close to her skin! And they were being auctioned off in public!
"elder brother!"
