Ye Ningwan, Zhan Hanjue, and Wangyue were dumbfounded when they heard "Sky Lantern."
Even more so when they heard about the next auction item.
What? It ended before it even started?
"Someone, someone." Ye Ningwan frantically pressed the Summoning Bell.
Soon, someone came over respectfully and asked, "Principal, how may I assist you?"
"Tell me, what does Sky Lantern mean? Why has the auction ended before it even started?" Ye Ningwan questioned.
The staff member respectfully said, "Principal, Sky Lantern here means that regardless of the price, the other party has claimed it. So, others need not bid; this item has already been bought."
"Why didn't you say this rule earlier?" Ye Ningwan angrily asked.
Wangyue also angrily said, "Exactly, why didn't you say it earlier? We would have also claimed the Sky Lantern. It's not like we can't afford it."
The staff member said, "There is an auction manual here; didn't you three Principals read it?"
"What auction manual." Wangyue said.
