Chapter 1504 The Legendary Auction

After listening to Nightingale's words, Tianhui fell into deep thought. He had to admit that this genius young woman from the Nightingale family indeed possessed extraordinary wisdom and insight. Her suggestion, though simple, went straight to the heart of the problem, forcing him to reconsider his previous plans.

Ussentan and Dormont listened quietly, their faces expressionless, but their hearts were in turmoil. They both knew that Nightingale's words were not merely advice to the Radiant, but also a test and hint at their intentions. Beneath this seemingly calm conversation, undercurrents were surging, and various forces were secretly vying for the upper hand in this game.

"Hmm?" Nightingale parted her red lips slightly, the word she uttered carrying a hint of playfulness and inquiry. Her soft murmur was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, stirring ripples in the hearts of Dormont and Usenthal.

Dormont's half-closed eyes suddenly lit up, and his massive body seemed to tremble slightly. He quickly turned to look at Tianhui, a mixture of curiosity and anticipation on his face. Meanwhile, Usentan, the chief judge of the White Tiger Tribunal, whose face was usually expressionless, now showed undisguised surprise. Both men's gazes focused on Tianhui.

Tianhui remained unmoved, as if he had anticipated this question. He smiled slightly, a smile that revealed composure and calmness. "Miss Nanding, are you interested in this fighting crystal?" he asked slowly, his voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation, yet possessing a convincing power.

Nightingale gently shook her head, her smile still gentle and kind. "No," she said softly, "it's just that the Divine Concealment Hall is full of powerful experts, and this thousand-year-old fighting crystal doesn't seem to have much practical use for you. So, I might suggest you put it up for auction; perhaps you can get a good price for it."

Her words were like a gentle spring breeze, instantly winning one's favor. However, Tianhui detected a different meaning in her gentle words. He sighed inwardly, thinking that this Nightingale was indeed a shrewd businesswoman, actually setting her sights on him. In this way, their Nightingale Auction House could not only reap a considerable profit, but also use this opportunity to enhance its status in the industry.

However, Tianhui was no ordinary person. He already had his own plans, and his purpose in coming to the Nanding Auction House was precisely to auction off this Doujing Stone. He smiled faintly and said, "Actually, that's exactly my purpose for coming here; otherwise, I wouldn't have made a special trip to the Nanding Auction House. Besides, I've already given the Doujing Stone to the staff for appraisal."

Upon hearing this, Dormont's eyes widened, his face showing a mixture of displeasure and surprise. "Oh? So you're here to auction off something," he muttered, "and you lied to me, saying you wanted to catch up with old friends?"

Tianhui couldn't help but chuckle at Dormont's exaggerated expression. He patted Dormont on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't be angry, old buddy. I just wanted to give you a surprise. Besides, do we brothers need to be so formal?"

After these words, Dormont's expression softened slightly. He glared at Tianhui, pretending to turn his head away, but secretly glanced at the battle crystal in Tianhui's hand out of the corner of his eye. Meanwhile, Usentan had been silently observing everything from the side, his eyes deep and complex, as if he were pondering some important question.

Just then, an auction house staff member entered, carrying an appraisal report. He respectfully handed the report to Tianhui and then stepped aside. Tianhui glanced at the report and nodded in satisfaction. This crystal was indeed a rare treasure, containing not only powerful energy but also extremely high collectible value. He believed it would undoubtedly be the focus of everyone's attention at the upcoming auction.

"Alright," Tianhui handed the report to Nightingale, "when is your auction house planning to hold the auction? My battle crystal is eager to make its debut."

Nightingale took the report and examined it carefully. A hint of surprise and delight flashed in her eyes, clearly indicating her satisfaction with the quality of the crystal. She looked up at Tianhui and smiled, "Lord Tianhui, rest assured, we will arrange the auction as soon as possible. At that time, this crystal will definitely fetch a price that satisfies you."

Upon hearing this, Tianhui, Dormont, and Usentan all smiled knowingly. They all knew that this crystal would ignite an unprecedented bidding frenzy. And what role would each of them play in this frenzy? All would be revealed in the near future.

In the days that followed, the Nightingale Auction House bustled with activity, meticulously preparing for the upcoming auction. Meanwhile, Tianhui, Dormont, and Usentan returned to their respective residences, awaiting the auction's arrival.

Finally, amidst much anticipation, the auction took place as scheduled. That day, the entrance to the Nightingale Auction House was bustling with activity, as wealthy and noble individuals from all over flocked to attend this grand auction. Some came to bid on their desired treasures, while others sought to make like-minded friends; everyone's face was filled with anticipation and excitement.

Backstage at the auction house, Tianhui stood quietly, his gaze peering through the gap in the curtain at the bustling crowd outside. His heart was filled with anticipation and nervousness; after all, this fighting crystal held immense significance for him. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, preparing for the challenge that lay ahead.
