The auctioneer's eyes widened, her lips curving into a delighted smile. "Eighty-five thousand elemental crystals !" she announced, her voice resounding throughout the hall.
The woman in the crimson robe narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression thoughtful. It was clear that Liang's bid had caught her attention, challenging her resolve to acquire the pendant.

A mischievous smile played at the corners of Liang's lips as he met Kai's gaze. "No, we don't."
An incredulous expression crossed Kai's face. "Then why on earth are we bidding?" he exclaimed, his voice tinged with both frustration and concern.
