Ang Lee looked at the troublemakers who had fallen silent and nodded in satisfaction.
He then gestured to someone next to him to take his place and maintain order.
Ang Lee then turned around and strode into the auction house.
After walking through several corridors, Ang Lee arrived at the door of the studio owner's office.
He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and then gently knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A slightly youthful voice came from inside the door.
Li An pushed open the door and entered. Inside the room, Ning Liu was leisurely sitting in the main seat, sipping fragrant tea.
"The venue owner."
Ang Lee bowed respectfully.
Ning Liu put down her teacup and looked up at him.
"What's the situation outside?"
Ang Lee's face immediately lit up with a smile, his tone filled with barely concealed excitement.
"Owner, today's event is truly unprecedented!"
"Even His Highness the Prince of the Barak Kingdom, as well as several Soul Saints from the Spirit Hall and other forces, have personally graced us with their presence!"
"There's still a huge crowd outside, all wanting to come in and see what's happening!"
Ning Liu simply nodded calmly upon hearing this.
"Yes, as expected."
Ang Lee rubbed his hands together and continued.
"Master, this auction will surely make you famous throughout the Kingdom of Barak!"
He paused, then asked cautiously.
"Manager, what exactly is our final auction item today?"
"The soft armor with a starting bid of 100,000 is already stunning enough, but this grand finale must be even more earth-shattering, right?"
When Ang Lee asked that question, he was actually a little nervous.
The pink bunny ear pajamas from last time are a good example.
He was afraid that the owner of the venue would come up with some shocking but unmanageable treasure.
Please don't do anything reckless again!
Ning Liu looked at Li An's expectant yet apprehensive expression and smiled slightly.
Instead of answering directly, he took something out of his soul tool.
It was an old-looking booklet with a light blue cover and several large characters written on it.
Ang Lee stared at the booklet, stunned.
What's this?
Some kind of martial arts manual?
Or is it some kind of ancient, inherited scroll?
Ning Liu gently placed the booklet on the table and pushed it toward Li An.
"This is the tenth item in our auction."
Ang Lee's breath hitched.
He carefully picked up the booklet and felt that the material was ordinary, not anything rare.
He turned to the first page and saw that it was covered with dense writing and some doodles.
The handwriting is beautiful, but the content...
"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Grandpa Jian secretly slipped me another five hundred gold soul coins. I didn't tell Dad, hehe."
"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Grandpa Bone took me out to play and bought a lot of delicious food, which cost three hundred gold soul coins. Grandpa Bone said that this little bit of money was nothing."
"On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, I asked that bastard senior brother Ning Liu about his cultivation experience. He talked about it in a very mysterious way and even tricked me out of a lollipop!"
"I'm so angry! I'll remember this, and I'll make him pay back a hundred of them later!"
Ang Lee's eyes widened as he watched, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.
This...this is clearly a little girl's diary or ledger!
"Sigh, Ning Liu?"
"No, isn't this the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School they're talking about!"
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, could these be the sect's two guardian Douluos, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo?!"
"Owner...this..."
Ang Lee's voice trembled slightly.
Ning Liu picked up his teacup, took another sip, and said slowly.
"This item is titled 'Ning Rongrong's Dark Ledger' and must be auctioned as the final item of this auction."
He paused, then added.
Starting bid: 1 Gold Soul Coin.
"puff--"
Li An almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Starting bid: One Gold Soul Coin?
Let's not even talk about whether this thing can be sold; even if it is, it's only worth one gold soul coin...
This is absolutely ridiculous!
He looked at Ning Liu, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
I'm numb.
This isn't just reckless behavior; this is outrageous!
Ning Liu pretended not to see Li An's terrified expression and simply waved his hand dismissively.
"Go on, the auction is about to begin."
Like a puppet, Li An mechanically took the notebook and carefully placed it into his storage soul tool.
"Yes... Master, this subordinate... this subordinate takes his leave!"
Ang Lee left the room almost simultaneously, his steps unsteady.
Ning Liu shook his head.
Ang Lee, who initially seemed quite composed, seems to have lost his composure.
He turned to look out the window; the auction hall was already bustling with noise.
As a resident member, he naturally inspected the auction items personally, and there were indeed many good pieces.
I wonder what I'll get in return this time?
I can't wait!
...
Inside the auction hall, a huge crystal chandelier emitted a soft yet bright light, illuminating the entire venue as if it were daytime.
After a long struggle, Ang Lee finally calmed his agitated emotions and stepped onto the auction stage.
His professional smile returned, and his voice, amplified by his soul power, clearly resonated throughout the entire venue.
Good evening, distinguished guests!
"Thank you all so much for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this grand event hosted by the Soto City Seven Treasures Auction House!"
"For this auction, we have prepared many rare and precious items that are not usually seen. We are sure you will not be disappointed!"
