As DouDou's clear voice faded, two slender maids, working together, carried a tray covered with a red velvet cloth and slowly walked onto the auction stage.
The entire venue fell silent instantly.
All eyes were focused on that patch of red, and everyone unconsciously slowed their breathing.
What priceless treasures lay beneath that cloth!
Inside the private box of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, Prince Xue Xing's sinister eyes gleamed with greed.
In another corner, the same was true in the strange dragon eyes of Yu Luomian, the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
On the auction stage, DouDou's hand gently rested on a corner of the velvet cloth.
Her movements were slow, which kept everyone in suspense.
"This item lacks brilliance."
"It even looks quite ordinary."
With a flick of his wrist, DouDou's red cloth fluttered down.
On the tray, lying quietly, was just one thing.
A letter sealed in kraft paper.
The envelope was yellowed and even worn at the edges. There was no signature on it, only a blurry hammer emblem stamped with sealing wax.
The entire room fell silent.
One second.
Two seconds.
Then came a huge uproar and discussion.
"A letter?"
"Are you kidding me! The Glazed Sky Auction House is using a letter as its grand finale?"
"Is this an insult to us?!"
A hot-tempered nobleman stood up abruptly and roared angrily.
"Exactly! Whose letter is worth this much trouble?"
"Could it be a letter personally written by His Holiness the Pope?"
"Impossible! How could items from the Spirit Hall be auctioned here!"
The atmosphere in the venue instantly shifted from extreme anticipation to anger at being mocked.
Tang Xiao was also stunned.
He had no idea it would turn out like this.
A letter?
What Sect Leader Ning insisted he bid on, no matter what, was a letter?
He subconsciously glanced at Ning Liu beside him, only to find that the other's expression had not changed at all; he was simply staring calmly at the auction stage, as if everything was under control.
"Quiet!"
DouDou's voice, amplified by the soul guide device, instantly drowned out all the noise.
She gently tapped the letter with her finger.
"Friends, the letter itself may not be worth much."
"But the person who wrote the letter was enough to shake the entire continent!"
She paused, then uttered the name clearly, word by word.
"This is a letter written by Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao, twelve years ago!"
Haotian Douluo!
Tang Hao!
Prince Xuexing suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Tang Hao's letter?!"
"Wasn't he missing a long time ago?"
"Rumor has it that he betrayed the Clear Sky Sect, became an enemy of the Spirit Hall, and was eventually severely injured and disappeared without a trace!"
"I've heard that the Haotian Sect went into seclusion to protect him?"
"Nonsense! The Clear Sky Sect was forced to close its mountains by the Spirit Hall! This Tang Hao is a troublemaker and a sinner of the Clear Sky Sect!"
The discussion erupted again.
"That's not right! Didn't the Glazed Tile Heaven Sect join forces with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to suppress Tang Hao at the auction house? How come his letter is being auctioned here?"
"Yeah! That's so weird!"
This issue has left many people even more confused.
And this is precisely the biggest question in Tang Xiao's mind right now.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Ning Liu.
"Sect Master Ning...this...this is..."
"It's from my brother... a letter?"
Ning Liu didn't look at him, but simply gave a faint "hmm".
This letter was certainly not something he took from Tang Hao.
Instead, it refers to items strongly associated with specific individuals designated by the system to appear at this auction.
However, he had not read the contents of the letter.
Tang Xiao's body trembled violently.
A letter from my younger brother.
Just as he was being awakened by Ning Liu and realized the disaster his younger brother had brought to the sect.
A letter, supposedly written by him, suddenly appeared before the world.
What an irony!
Home?
He destroyed his entire sect for a woman; what family does he still have?
A mixture of grief, resentment, and an indescribable stinging pain tore at Tang Xiao's nerves.
On the auction stage, DouDou spoke again.
"Please think about this, everyone!"
"Haotian Douluo! The youngest Title Douluo on the continent in a hundred years!"
What would he write in his handwritten letters?
"Is it the truth behind his conflict with the Spirit Hall back then?"
"Or... is it hiding the secret to his rapid breakthroughs?"
"Or perhaps, it's about insights gained from cultivating the legendary Clear Sky Hammer?"
Each of DouDou's questions was like a boulder thrown into an already turbulent lake.
"The Great Sumeru Hammer!"
Yu Luomian's breathing became noticeably heavier.
That is the fundamental secret technique that allows the Haotian Sect to stand at the top of the three upper sects!
"Take a picture of it! At all costs!"
Whether it is true or false, the significance of this letter is enough to attract the attention of many.
DouDou looked at the change in the audience and raised her hand with satisfaction.
"Now, let the bidding begin!"
"A letter from Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo, starting bid—"
She paused deliberately.
"One gold soul coin!"
"There is no upper limit to the price increase!"
"Auction begins!"
