A distinct and coherent voice rose from above. It was not a loud voice, yet it was as jolting as a bellowing thunder. Everyone at the auction ground froze in shock, then fell into a dead silence.
The boisterous debates began after a long moment of stillness. Everyone’s shocked gaze drifted to the third floor.

"You’re right. This person only bought one item and did not make another bid until now. I can’t believe it, he’s here for Water of the Resting Soul."

"Maybe he is just asking, not targeting Master Tang. Remember that Master Tang is an oblation to the Wu Prefecture with very honorable rankings, who dares to reject his request?"
