Inside a dark room…
In the midst of all the darkness, there was faint light emitting from the dancing flames which are in the form of a ring. One could see the images of a person moving around reflected in it's hollow.
A man was intently staring at the fire mirror floating before him. His gaze was transfixed on Xia Lian who was now walking with Du Weng and Lu Wen.
He blinked his eyes rapidly and pinched his hands to make sure that he was not seeing an illusion of her. If Du Weng was there to see this action of his master, he would have surely rolled his eyes and assured the insecure man that he was definitely not seeing an illusion. This was not the first time the man pinched himself, he was doing so from the time he saw her entering the auction room.
