The three of them followed the guard into the venue. Only then did Xing Beiluo notice that the auction house was exquisitely designed. It had two floors: the second floor consisted entirely of luxurious private boxes, while the first floor was a spacious main hall with rows of stepped, semi-circular seating facing the podium. Hundreds of luminous pearls hung from the center of the grand ceiling, making the entire venue bright yet pleasantly soft on the eyes. At a glance, the venue could easily accommodate at least three thousand people.
They arrived at a private box on the second floor and sat down. A Li quickly explained, "Sister, I saw you walking with Ye Shize yesterday and guessed you must be his guest. Don't blame me, but the admission fee was just a bit too expensive, so I wanted to hitch a ride on your coattails..."
"Oh, so that's how it is," Xing Beiluo said in sudden realization. "Alright, I won't blame you, though I had no idea Ye Shize would make such arrangements."
