“I know, just speak plainly!” Mo Jiuli said as she finally looked up and glanced at the four old men in front of her.
“Miss Mo, my name is Elder Bai, and everyone here calls me Elder Bai.
As I said before, I am the Treasure Appraiser here.
He is Dabao, he is Little Treasure, and he is Xiaoyu.
These three are the Guardian Elders of this place…” Elder Bai began with an introduction of himself.
After hearing Elder Bai’s introduction, the corners of Mo Jiuli’s mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
“Little book, the people outside didn’t learn how to name things from Mom, did they?” Little Lingling asked Little book in surprise after hearing Elder Bai’s words from within the Space.
“I really didn’t expect there to be people whose naming skills are even more unimaginative than Master’s!” Little book agreed, nodding.
They had always felt that their Master’s skill at naming was the most unimaginative in the world, but they had not expected that these four outside could outdo him!
These four, with their white hair, appeared to be at least a thousand years old at the youngest.
Aside from Elder Bai, how on earth were the names Dabao, Little Treasure, and Xiaoyu chosen…
Mo Jiuli ignored the sneers of her own Beasts regarding her talent for naming.
She felt her own naming skills were not too bad!
Seeing Mo Jiuli’s smirk, Elder Bai somewhat embarrassingly explained, “Ahem, all four of us are orphans, abandoned at birth.
It was our Master who picked us up, and perhaps because he picked up all four of us at once, he didn’t know how to name us and just casually gave us these names.”
The other three nodded in agreement, and Xiaoyu said, “When we first started to speak, we always called him Elder Bai, and it made him cry many times!
But as we got older, we actually started to envy Elder Bai.
After all, we were only children for a few decades, but as we grew up, these names felt weird whenever we were called by them…”
“Yeah, if it weren’t for Master always smiling when he called our names, we might have asked to change them long ago!” Little Treasure chimed in.
Mo Jiuli observed their expressions when they talked about their Master, seeing in their eyes intense longing, gratitude, and sorrow.
Such sincere emotions, unhidden, significantly improved Mo Jiuli’s impression of them…
“Miss Mo, sorry for talking too much!
We came this time for the Nine Lives Pill you’re auctioning off,” Dabao said to Mo Jiuli.
“What about it?” Mo Jiuli asked.
“Miss Mo, it’s like this.
Ten thousand years ago, after a great war, our Master was grievously injured and imprisoned in the northern region of the Death Sea Domain.
Thousands of our sect members perished in multiple attempts to rescue Master!
In the end, only the four of us remained.
The other party demanded the Nine Lives Pill in exchange for our Master, so…” Xiaoyu looked at Mo Jiuli and said.
“We four have searched for over ten thousand years and never found the Nine Lives Pill until you appeared today!
Therefore, we want to purchase the Nine Lives Pill you have at a high price,” Elder Bai continued.
“Miss Mo, whatever you want, be it Dark Stones or anything else, we can provide,” Little Treasure said.
“Right, anything at all!” Dabao added.
“Fine, then I won’t auction off the Elixir.
After the auction starts, if I see anything I like, you just need to buy one item for me,” Mo Jiuli stated indifferently.
“Really?” Elder Bai asked incredulously.
