Everyone was baffled. They hadn't expected that after just touching it twice, Xu Ke would try to walk away with the Bronze Wine Chalice.
The crowd exchanged looks. What kind of stunt was this?
Now that he had what he came for, Xu Ke was already planning to grab Tang Yingchang and leave Sui City, especially while Shi Hongda and his companions were still tied up with the auction. After all, the Bronze Wine Chalice was the only reason he'd come. With it in his possession, leaving immediately was the only logical choice!
But An Zhidong could not possibly agree. He grunted, "Mister Xu, that's against the rules. We need to wait for Master Jintong to arrive and give his appraisal. Only after he has finished can we let you take it."
Xu Ke's brow furrowed slightly. "It's that troublesome?"
"That's right!"
Just as Xu Ke was about to speak, Shi Hongda stood up from the audience and said coolly, "Xu Ke, stop playing dumb."
