Auction, parchment roll

Baili Hongzhuang smiled faintly. "I'm just interested in some unknown things."

Upon hearing her words, Yuan Liqing also understood that Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen probably weren't interested in anything at this auction. They were curious about the sheepskin scroll and wondered what could have piqued their interest.

Occasionally, auctions would feature items that even the auction house couldn't appraise. Whether to bid or not was a matter of personal judgment.

There was a chance that the item could turn out to be a treasure, in which case it would be a profit. But there was also the possibility that it would turn out to be useless, resulting in a loss.

Of course, most of the time, these items turned out to be worthless.

If they were truly valuable, the auction house wouldn't sell them at such prices.

Baili Hongzhuang's interest was likely just a passing whim. Even if the sheepskin scroll turned out to be useless, it wouldn't matter.

"I see." Yuan Liqing smiled lightly. "This sheepskin scroll does indeed look quite special. It could be a treasure."

Baili Hongzhuang smiled knowingly. She understood that Yuan Liqing probably thought she was merely playing around.

That was actually a good thing. It would be easier for her to acquire the sheepskin scroll if everyone thought that way.

On the other hand, Yuan Hongyang also glanced at the sheepskin scroll, but his thoughts were slightly different from Yuan Liqing's.

From the looks of it, Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen came to this auction specifically for this sheepskin scroll. Could they have already determined that it was a treasure?

Despite having some speculations in his mind, Yuan Hongyang had no intention of bidding for the sheepskin scroll.

A true gentleman doesn't snatch away what others are interested in. Since Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen were eyeing it, he naturally wouldn't compete with them, especially since the most important items for the family in this auction were the Profound Rank martial techniques.

In the subsequent auctions, the three major families occasionally made bids for a few items, but the majority of the items were acquired by the people in the auction hall.

Tong Jingshuo appeared very pleased. The auction items for this auction were excellent, and there were no cases of unsold items. On the contrary, the final prices were higher than usual, which made him quite happy. After this auction, he would surely gain many benefits.

There were only a few items left for auction, but the entire auction hall was still filled with people. Everyone knew that the upcoming item, the Profound Rank martial technique, was the highlight, and they were all eager to find out which family would obtain it.

"The next item up for auction is a slightly mysterious item," Tong Jingshuo introduced to the crowd with a hint of mystery. "This sheepskin scroll was acquired unexpectedly by the consignor, but its true nature remains unknown.

Through our firm's investigation, we discovered subtle energy fluctuations within this sheepskin scroll, indicating that it's not an ordinary item. Those interested can bid for it and see for themselves. It might turn out to be a treasure."

Upon hearing Tong Jingshuo's words, the expressions of the people in the audience didn't change much.

For such unknown items, they usually didn't hold much value. It would be a pity to spend a large sum of money on something that turned out to be useless.
