When Su Luo said this, Tang Yichen and Fu Xiyan also noticed this, and subconsciously glanced at Gu Zhiqi.
However, they didn’t ponder it deeply.
After all, there were many people with the surname Gu in the world.
Gu Zhiqi heard this and remained unfazed, casually replying, "What a coincidence."
While Su Luo spoke up, Gu Qing hesitated briefly, looking somewhat awkward. After hearing Gu Zhiqi’s somewhat perfunctory response, Gu Qing immediately regained composure, presenting an official false smile, and returned Su Luo’s comment, "Young Master Luo, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed either. Indeed, it’s fateful, maybe Miss Gu and I were from the same family five hundred years ago."
Originally, Su Luo had just mentioned it in passing and hadn’t thought that Gu Zhiqi and Gu Qing would be related. After hearing Gu Qing’s words, Su Luo was even more convinced that Little Fairy and Gu Qing had no connection.
Only Su Yunling, upon hearing Gu Qing’s response, a glimmer of deep thought flashed in her eyes as she covertly gave Gu Zhiqi a glance.
Heavenly Domain Pavilion’s decor was antique, occupying a standalone building with a total of five floors. The first and second floors were the auction site, which was very spacious and wide. In the middle of the first floor, there was a high platform for the auctioneer to display the items.
Around the platform, tables for four were set up in order, roughly about a hundred tables, which could accommodate about four people each. Of course, it was also possible to stand, meaning the first floor could accommodate approximately six hundred people.
The second floor consisted of private rooms, with a total of twenty, divided into Divine, Primary, Middle, and Yellow levels, each level having five rooms, and each room could hold up to ten people.
Among these, the five Divine rooms had the best view of the first-floor platform, with large windows directly facing the items on display, allowing a clear and full view of the items.
As for rooms of Primary, Middle, and Yellow levels, some were at an angle to the display, while others were turned away from it.
However, each private room featured a projector to see the items clearly, so even if one was facing away from the display, it wasn’t a problem.
Almost all of the private rooms on the second floor had been purchased by various big shots, for example, Heaven Room Number One was exclusively for the Heavenly Domain Pavilion’s management, Heaven Room Number Two was reserved for the Ever Winning Army, Heaven Room Number Three for the Medical Alliance, and so on...
After leading the group to Heaven Room Number Two, Gu Qing left.
After Gu Qing’s departure, waiters came in with tea and fruits.
"Gu Xiaoxi, this is your first time at Heavenly Domain Pavilion, isn’t it? Come on, Brother Chen will tell you about it," Tang Yichen said.
Gu Zhiqi lifted her eyelids, giving Tang Yichen, who had taken to calling himself Brother Chen, a glance.
Tang Yichen, pretending not to see, began to explain to Gu Zhiqi, "Heavenly Domain Pavilion is the most famous and oldest auction house in Xia Country. Do you know how many years it has been around?"
After asking, Tang Yichen stopped, looking at Gu Zhiqi with a secretive expression on his face.
Gu Zhiqi shook her head.
When she had read about Heavenly Domain Pavilion, she hadn’t noticed this detail.
"Five hundred years," Tang Yichen said, showing five fingers to Gu Zhiqi, then staring at her, trying to see a hint of emotional change on her face.
Gu Zhiqi listened and calmly nodded, her expression almost unchanging.
The longest-standing auction house on Aquamarine Star had been around for over a thousand years, with plenty of others that had been around for eight to nine hundred years.
Being five hundred years old was nothing remarkable.
Seeing no change in Gu Zhiqi’s demeanor, Tang Yichen blinked, "Gu Xiaoxi, aren’t you surprised at all?"
"Surprised about what?" Gu Zhiqi asked.
"Don’t you think five hundred years is a long time? You have to realize that this span of five hundred years has seen several historical changes." Seeing Gu Zhiqi’s calm reaction, Tang Yichen felt unbalanced. When he first learned that Heavenly Domain Pavilion had been in business for 500 years, he had been surprised for quite a while.
