The auction proceeded.
Item after item was successfully auctioned off and the auction was reaching the end.
When it reached 10PM, Li Er walked out from the backstage and onto the main stage.
The moment Li Er made his appearance, the entire hall quietened down.
It was as if a song had reached its climax.
Everyone held their breath and there was a nervous and anticipatory look in their eyes.
They knew that the most important part of the program was finally going to start.
The main item for the night was going to be revealed soon.
"First things first. As the organizer of tonight's auction, I would like to thank everyone for coming. The Mid-Autumn Festival Auction has been able to go on for eight years in a row now. But I have to say that tonight's auction cannot be compared to the past years.”
"Yunzhou is the brightest star in all of Jiangdong tonight. Even the event in Jianghai cannot be compared to this one in terms of scale and grandeur. Thank you everyone, for giving me this honor!" Li Er's deep voice filled the hall as he stood on stage in a well fitted suit.
There was applause all around.
Li Er waved his hands to quieten everyone down. Then he continued, "I believe everyone knows that we have now truly reached the climax of tonight's auction."
"And I'm very sure that many others are like me and you can't wait to see what the next item up for auction is."
"But before that, let me ask everyone a few questions."
"I'm not sure if everyone has heard of a person who disregarded his own safety and stood up when Jiangdong was in danger?"
"And does everybody know that there was a person who descended from the skies like a king to wield his incredible power to save Jiangdong from dying?"
"His slim body has held up the expansive land of Jiangdong!"
"His fists of iron finished off that bloodthirsty wolf who killed without any conscience!"
"He might be young, but his prowess is greater than a mountain!"
"He might be small in stature, but he is unparalleled in might!"
"Nobody knew who he was when he went to Mount Tai. But his incredible strength shook all of Jiangdong when he left!"
"That's right, he is Mr Chu."
"The king of Jiangdong, Mr Chu!"
Li Er's words were respectful and carried authority in them. They swept across the hall like a huge gust of wind.
Many people in the audience had never seen Mr Chu before. But through Li Er's words, they felt like they could see that authoritative and incomparably mighty figure that seemed as tall as Mount Tai itself.
There was another round of applause.
But this time, the crowd was applauding for Mr Chu. They were clapping for that incredible man.
"How wonderful, what a wonderful speech. Mu-Cheng, did you see that? That's how powerful Mr Chu is! That's the influence that the man I like has!!"
Both Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian were going crazy from excitement, especially Su Qian. After hearing Li Er's speech, she felt so emotional that she was about to cry.
Her voice was filled with immense admiration and reverence for Mr Chu.
Qiu Mu-Cheng herself wasn't calm either.
She wasn't as crazy over Mr Chu as Su Qian was, but she still admired and looked up to Mr Chu too.
She had seen how that man had risen and she knew how noble that man really was.
"That's right, Qianqian. He really is a hero. He's really worthy of all this respect and admiration you see here," Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled faintly as she looked down at the uproarious crowd and the look of reverence in their eyes.
But neither Qiu Mu-Cheng nor Su Qian noticed that there was a man standing behind them who was looking at Qiu Mu-Cheng's beautiful back view with deep adoration in his eyes.
