Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s mumbling, Su Yunling rembered that this young girl seed to have experienced amnesia.
He chuckled lightly and then raised his hand to gently rub the top of Gu Zhiqi’s head, "It’s okay, you’ll rember."
After listening, Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly, feeling a bit depressed.
About three minutes later, the room in the box was knocked on.
"Co in!"
As soon as Su Yunling’s voice fell, the door to the box was pushed open.
A man in a suit, accompanied by two burly staff mbers, entered with an expression that was both excited and sowhat uneasy.
At the mont the three stepped into the box, Gu Zhiqi imdiately recognized that the two staff mbers were ancient martial artists.
As soon as they entered the box, the man in the suit closed the door.
Then, he finally took a mont to look at Su Yunling and Gu Zhiqi.
Upon seeing Su Yunling’s appearance, the man in the suit froze for a mont, a hint of amazent in his eyes.
Once he ca to his senses, he imdiately greeted Su Yunling with respect, "Third Master."
The man in the suit was the manager of the auction house, and although he didn’t know Su Yunling’s identity as the leader of the Ever Winning Army, he knew he was the Third Master of the Imperial Capital Su Family, so he respectfully called him Third Master.
Su Yunling nodded slightly to him.
Upon seeing this, the manager imdiately approached Su Yunling and quietly asked, "Third Master, I heard you have a work by Master Bai Zhi. Is...is it true?"
Su Yunling nodded, picked up the gift box from the table, and then handed it to the manager.
This ti, Gu Zhiqi had found a better-looking packaging box.
However, it was still a cardboard box, just a bit more attractive than a delivery box.
The manager looked at the box Su Yunling handed over, his expression sowhat cracked.
But rembering the rumors about Master Bai Zhi, the manager felt relieved.
Rumor had it that Master Bai Zhi wasn’t one for formalities; she might use a cardboard box to pack sculptures, or even a takeout or delivery box.
Thinking of this, the manager felt it was even more likely that the box contained a genuine work by Master Bai Zhi.
With trembling hands, he reached out to take the box.
After taking it, he imdiately hugged it to his chest, then cautiously opened a small crack and glanced inside quickly.
After looking, he gasped and imdiately closed the box.
His expression was as if there was sothing inside that couldn’t be exposed to light.
"Th...Third Master, is this item being auctioned today or..." halfway through the question, the manager suddenly changed his tone, "or could we auction it next ti?"
"If I advertise it first, more people will definitely co next ti, and then the price will certainly be higher."
"Of course, I know you’re not short of money, but no one ever complains about having more money, right? So you see..."
Su Yunling understood the manager’s implication.
Master Bai Zhi was renowned far and wide, and throughout Xia Country, there were countless people eager to buy her genuine works.
Not just Xia Country, but people from other countries as well.
If the advertisent went out, many would certainly co drawn by her reputation.
The more people there were, the fiercer the competition, and the auction price would definitely be higher.
Thinking of this, Su Yunling turned to look at Gu Zhiqi, "What do you think?"
Gu Zhiqi: "I need money."
Su Yunling: "..."
Manager: "..."
Although he didn’t know why Su Yunling was asking this young girl’s opinion, the manager realized that when the artifact would be auctioned depended on this young girl.
Thinking of this, the manager imdiately said, "If this is truly a rare item by Master Bai Zhi, the auction price won’t be less than one hundred million. If you, miss, need money, I can advance you ninety million!"
