The police officer was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and stretched out his open palm. Tao Ti looked reluctantly at the Rainbow Relic one last time before placing all the relics in his palm.
She turned around, unable to hold back the tears that started to fall from the corners of her eyes!
Tao Ti hastily wiped away her tears and ran off.
"Hey!" the officer couldn't stop her in time and just saw the little girl sprint to the door where Tao Mo stood and hugged his legs.
Tao Mo felt both heartache and an urge to laugh but managed to hold back his smile. He reached down to pick up the pitiful little one and comforted her lovingly, "When there's another auction, Grandpa will take you, and you can have whatever you like. Who knows, there might even be a Rainbow Relic."
Although he knew the possibility was extremely slim—finding a high monk's relics, each a different color, displaying all shades of a rainbow, was an almost unthinkable phenomenon.
