Meeting Xiao Cao Again

While the three were talking about the auction, a stream of people was still entering the auction hall. The crowd at the VIP area was swelling in size as well. After about one hour, all the seats were filled.

"Ye Mo, this is the first time I've this auction hall full," Hu Batian said after sweeping his glance over the hall.

"This is indeed the first time I've seen a crowd of this size. I have been to the Treasure Inspection Guild many times before, but this is the first time it has been full," Hu Bahu added.

Ye Mo shook his head and sighed. "Looks like the three items up for auction today has attracted many people."

"I reckon half of the youngsters here only came to see the auctioneer. It is rumored that she looks like a blooming lotus, capable of causing the fish to sink and the geese to alight," Hu Batian said.

While the three were talking, a crisp bell rang from the middle of the auction hall, over the clamor in the hall.
