"Ninth Master, I arrived late, and the Shi Family from Hengcheng snapped up that century seed lotus."
Over the phone, Rong Qian spoke apologetically.
Lu Changchuan's expression darkened.
It was said that Elder Luo's wife had been languishing in illness for many years, and in addition to seeking famous doctors, the dutiful children of the Shi Family had not spared any effort in the underground auctions over the years.
After all, Old Master Luo was a living example of success.
In the past two years, even a 50-year seed lotus had fetched sky-high prices on the black market, let alone the one from tonight that was rumored to be several hundreds of years old.
No matter how tempting, there was no justification to snatch it from others.
Especially since the Shi Family had also acquired it for their family member's sake.
Lu Changchuan sighed, "Instruct our people everywhere to keep a closer watch."
"Yes."
