”You sure about that? Then why do you look so happy about it?” Fan Hui Zhong drawled out with a raised eye brow.
”Well that's because I finally managed to convince him to stop travelling around, causing me to worry when I lose track of him.
from time to time.”
Hearing his words, Fan Hui Zhong gave him a look filled with understanding.
”Speaking of, now that we're at my son's topic, I would actually like to ask if it's okay to sell your old home to me? It's the one that's currently neighboring my estate and my son asked me about it.” Wu Zheng He said as he remembered his and Wu Jun Qiao's previous conversation.
”Personally, I don't see why not since no one is really using it but I would advise you to talk to my brother about it since he is the one handling that.”
Hearing Fan Hui Zhong say that, Wu Zheng He was ecstatic since he already sent a message to ask Fan Hui Liang about it and he said that he'll discuss it with Fan Hui Zhong first. Now everything is going well and he might be able to gift this to Wu Jun Qiao to give him some good news.
Thinking of Jun Qiao, Wu Zheng He couldn't help but wonder were he is exactly since he just received word that he ditched the servants he gave him earlier this morning and disappeared.
Unknown to Wu Zheng He, the young man he was thinking about was actually also at the Thousand Treasures Pavillion in a private room of his own, watching the Old Ma reveal the last thing that's up for bid with an excited gleam in his eyes as if already knowing that everything was about to fall into place, just like he planned.
”Ladies and gentlemen, for the moment you've all been waiting for, the last item we have up for auction is an item that the owner of the Thousand Treasures Pavillion has personally added into today's auction which makes it quite unique as well. Along with this item, the owner has instructed that whoever wins this item will be able to ask for anything from the Thousand Treasure Pavillion for one time and one time only. This is only being done because of the rarity of the item and also because of how the bidding for this particular item will be done.”
Old Ma then paused for a second as if letting the audience digest his words, after all, this was quite different from the previous auctions they've held before. After he's given them a moment, Old Ma continued his explanation as if he never stopped.
”Each and everyone that is present, whether here among the crowd or those in their private rooms, they will be given a jade slip where they can imprint their bid. Only the owner will be checking it and once he finishes picking the bid he likes the most, we shall let everyone know his choice. As most of you have come to realize now, you an only bid once and this applies to everone. Now if you have any questions, please voice them now while our attendants are distributing the jade slips.”
Murmurs and discussions immediately erupted in the crowd before several people voiced their concerns.
”The bids, do they still apply to monetary amount or we can also offer some sort of deals or services as well?” a man asked.
”All types of bids are welcome, whether an exchange of deals, contracts, treasure or just plain old money would do. Anything goes dear guests.” Old Ma jovially replied.
”You said the owner will pick, how long will we wait for the results then?” another asked.
”You'll get your results within the day since our Thousand Treasures Pavillion's owner is actually here and is being entertained by our branch leader this very moment. In fact, he is in his own private room watching over the auction.”

Stunned, the crowd's gazes quickly turned to scan the private rooms where voices sounded from earlier, as if trying to guess which one belongs to the owner after all, no one even knew if the owner was even a male or female, however if rumors were to be believed then they would imply that the owner was a man.
Amidst the turmoil caused by Old Ma's words, someone spoke out in a loud voice and asked a question that all of them were asking in their minds.
”What's the item?”
