The auction had been managed by Qian Yan all along. Upon seeing the Yi Family's bid, he had been waiting for a counter bid from Number 4, represented by Lu Yuyu.
Qian Yan was aware of how much Lu Yuyu and Lin Ziyuan initially wanted to win the quota.
Contrary to feeling an ill will preventing Lu Yuyu and Lin Ziyuan from obtaining this quota, Qian Yan was actually reluctant to obstruct them.
In fact, Qian Yan held Lin Ziyuan in high regard, considering him a promising individual due to his sophistication in human interactions.
Qian Yan rebuffed Lu Yuyu and Lin Ziyuan, only because he did not wish to spark arguments within the Beastmaster Alliance among Executors and Directors.
Qian Yan later received a call personally made by the Ninth Sacrifice, one of the three Bishops of the Scavengers.
As the Vice President of the Beastmaster Alliance, like the Scavengers, they were both among the eight official organizations of the Dragon Rising Federation.
