Thorn continued, "It seems the information about this auction didn't reach us in time. Otherwise, we would have certainly taken part."

Garok's gaze turned thoughtful, his mind calculating potential future strategies. "Hmph. Unfortunate. We shall keep a closer watch on such matters henceforth."

Grand Elder Lan's eyes twinkled with a glimmer of insight, his voice holding a hint of mystery. "Sect Master, there may still be a way for you to acquire the Celestial Haven. We received word from a reliable source that the item has appeared in the hidden shops of the exchange floor."

Kaelar's surprise was evident as he leaned forward, his curiosity piqued. "A hidden shop? I wasn't aware such a thing existed on the exchange floor."
