Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Ling Yun looked at the entrance leading to the fourth floor, where there was actually an array surrounding it, making it difficult to see clearly.

Ling Xiao and the others looked at the person in charge with some shock.

They all knew the rules of the billion-dollar auction.

I never expected that my master/ancestor would be assigned to the fourth floor so easily.

Although they were eager to go up and find out, they were told that no one except their master/patriarch could follow.

“Ancestor, there are private rooms for our Ling family on the third floor. I will take Tianhe and the others there. You don’t need to worry.”

Ling Xiao took the initiative to speak.

"Don't worry, sir. Our Yilou Auction House is very safe. Nothing will happen. In addition, each private room on the third floor is guarded by other people. It's absolutely safe."

The person in charge assumed that Ling Yun was worried about their safety and quickly explained.

Ling Yun was naturally not worried about them.

Trying to cause trouble at this billion-dollar auction won't be so easy.

They then followed the manager to the fourth floor.

It's a familiar formation again.

When did she start teaching people formations so widely?

"My lord, we are not authorized to enter from the front. You will have to go in by yourself. If you have any instructions, you can use the communication stone inside."

"Ah."

Lingyun nodded in response.

The person in charge then withdrew.

Ling Yun slowly approached, and a sense of familiarity came into view.

The further you go, the stronger the sense of familiarity becomes.

"Welcome home, my master."

As Ling Yun stepped through the gate, a mechanical voice reached his ears.

Ling Yun looked around but couldn't find the source of the sound.

Next, she looked around at her surroundings; everything in the room was something she liked.

It really does feel familiar.

Just as that voice said, there was a feeling of coming home.

Wow, wow, the stuff in here is incredibly valuable! The person who set up this billion-dollar auction is no ordinary person; they're incredibly generous.

Even the system couldn't help but marvel at what was inside.

Ling Yun frowned.

Anything presented here, if taken out, would cause a riot.

Who are you?

This was the only thing Ling Yun wanted to say.

Walking to the transparent barrier in front and looking out, you can see the auction venue, where a woman is currently giving an introduction on the auction stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Yilou Auction House. I won't go into the rules of the Yilou Auction House again. I suppose most of you have come to the Yilou Auction House today because of the news that came out of the Yilou Auction House half a month ago."

"I can confirm once again that the news is true. So, today's auction of the billion-dollar building will officially begin."

Snapped!

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the auction hall suddenly went completely dark, and then everyone saw something unexpected.

The fourth floor, where no one had ever been before, suddenly lit up.

This means there are people on the fourth floor!

When the auction lights came on again, everyone's attention remained focused on the fourth floor.

They all wanted to see who had entered the fourth floor.

However, all they could see was a transparent glass panel, unable to see inside, while Lingyun could see everything clearly outside.

"How about it? Doesn't it look very high-end?"

A voice echoed in Ling Yun's ears.

The owner of the voice seemed to be herself.

But why does that tone sound like he's showing off?

How could she possibly do this?

One question after another surfaced in her mind, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Although the fact that someone was on the fourth floor was unexpected, as the auction began, everyone's attention gradually returned to the auction venue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the item we are about to auction is something our boss acquired unexpectedly. To this day, no one knows if it is still usable. But I can assure you that it is no ordinary item."

"However, since the purpose of each item is unknown, the starting price for each item is not fixed and you will have to place your own bids."

After she finished speaking, a person carrying an item covered by a red cloth walked onto the auction stage, and then the woman removed the red cloth.

All that could be seen was a dull, broken sword that looked like a piece of junk, with no indication of its value.

But anything from the Yilou auction is absolutely genuine.

This is the consensus among everyone on the Xuan Tian Continent.

Unlike others, Ling Yun's attention was immediately drawn to the broken sword the moment it appeared.

Ling Yun frowned.

This thing looks so familiar.

The sword, which had been completely still, seemed to sense something and suddenly moved.

"Am I seeing things? I think I just saw that short sword move?"

"Huh! You're seeing things too? I thought I was the only one who was seeing things."

"What do you mean by 'seeing things'? That short sword just moved. Are you telling me everyone here is seeing things?"

......

As soon as the short sword moved slightly, someone made a bid.

Regardless of whether this thing is a real broken sword or not, the fact that it can still move means it is definitely not an ordinary object.

Why not take some photos?

"I'll offer one hundred gold coins."

"Pah! This thing is clearly no ordinary item, and you're only offering a hundred? How dare you? I'll offer a thousand gold coins."

"You're one to talk, aren't you the same? I thought you could offer something, I'll offer a hundred purple gold coins."

"I'll offer one thousand purple gold coins."

The two began to fight, and although the others felt that the broken sword might not be an ordinary object, it was still just a broken sword in their eyes.

What's the point of taking pictures? Are they just for decoration?

And there are also many people who treat broken swords as mere decorations.

After the two started bidding, other people who were not short of money also began to bid.

"Eight thousand purple gold coins."

"One hundred thousand purple gold coins."

"120,000 purple gold coins".

The bids kept getting higher and higher; they were clearly not short of money.

But Ling Yun's expression showed some surprise.

Just now, she finally understood why this broken sword felt so familiar.

Isn't this hers?

But why is it here? And why does it look like this?

If she remembered correctly, she had given this thing away.

But to whom was it given?

She couldn't remember for a moment.

At this point, the bid had reached 500,000 purple gold coins, and no one continued to bid.

After all, whether a decorative item is worth the price depends on whether it's a good item.

"Anyone else bidding higher?"

Upon seeing this, the woman asked, and seeing that no one intended to continue bidding, she continued, "Five hundred thousand purple gold coins once."

"Is anyone else raising the price?"

"..."

It was quiet.

"Five hundred thousand purple gold coins twice."

"Five hundred thousand purple gold coins..."

"I want this."

Just at the last moment, Lingyun called out to stop him.

The woman swallowed the last word and looked down at the fourth floor.

It's as if it's saying, "Are you sure you didn't do this on purpose? Stopping it at the last minute?"
