The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard

The hall was now devoid of people, leaving only those who were curious about the upcoming auction items but were not planning to bid, for they knew that these last items were prepared for the Sects on the second floor. Even though there were no longer any people below on the first floor, the auctioneer still hosted the event with high enthusiasm. The ninth auction item was an unremarkable wooden fish.

Its brown appearance always reminded people of the wooden fish struck by monks in temples.

The auctioneer glanced at the few people remaining below and smiled, then swept his gaze over the second floor from left to right, explaining as he did: "This is not just any wooden fish. It has been blessed by Master Guangde himself, containing many years of his research and efforts."

Everyone was familiar with wooden fish, but Master Guangde’s name was unheard of by those present, including the individuals on the second floor, so no one was particularly interested.

Huo Tianqian scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "Who is this Master Guangde that he can be featured at the end?"

Although it wasn’t the last item, the status of the ninth item already signified its extreme importance, at least more important than the previous eight.

Yet no one had ever heard of Master Guangde.

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, the cold glint of his gaze fixed on the wooden fish. His sharp intuition told him that things were not so simple.

Zhao Wuji, equally curious, looked at Chu Ge. He was well aware of Chu Ge’s extensive knowledge and suspected that Chu Ge might actually recognize Master Guangde.
