The noise that drowned the entire area finally died down as Ling officially commenced the auction. It took a considerable time before I could get used to the silence that befell the room... not that it's a bad thing, of course.
"Sect Master, I have about 2000 gold in my possession. If you need more money, you can have all of them." Ye Zhiyun didn't hesitate to offer as she leaned in closer to my face.

Shi Meili graciously offered as well. Just like Ye Zhiyun, Shi Meili also leaned in towards me since she was on the other side of my seat.

'You say that Yongrui when a few days ago, you were wishing for Wu Yan to straight-up hug you. What hypocrisy.'
