Chapter 378: Chapter 378: Little Ancestor Slaps Back, Third Wave!
Since everyone is so interested, Xi Rubao simply stood in the hall to watch, to see what was so special about these two basin-sized stones.
But before she could steady herself, someone shoved her aside: "Move aside, move aside, don’t let the shabby smell of country folk contaminate my jade!"
Xi Rubao stumbled from the push, furious: "...Who the hell is barking here!"
Upon seeing it was the imperious Chu Qiaoen, she became even angrier.
"You keep saying us country folks are polluting the air of the Empire, do you live in a vacuum or something? Picky and pretentious much?"
Chu Qiaoen, on seeing Xi Rubao, also flew into a rage: "So it’s you, the poor ghost pretending to be rich, bidding against us in VIP Room 1?! It’s laughable, someone who can only afford a 10,000 yuan broken stone, who gave you the courage to snatch treasures from me? Can you come up with a million in cash!"
Xi Rubao: "..."
It’s the first time in her life she was called a poor ghost and the first time she was defeated by money.
It was truly suffocating.
But then Yin Hu coughed, mediating: "Miss Chu, let’s focus on opening the stones, no more arguing."
Chu Qiaoen finally turned away: "Who wants to argue with such a poor ghost, bad luck!"
Xi Rubao: "..."
You, you, you’re the bad luck!
I curse you to uncover a pile of junk!
However.
The entire hall eagerly surrounded Chu Qiaoen and her no. 6 uncut stone.
Treasure Appraiser S gave Chu Qiaoen special attention, putting on gloves and personally opening the stone.
"Having Goddess S personally open a stone, that’s the highest privilege, wasn’t the last time only when the royal family of A Continent visited, and Goddess S personally handled a stone?"
"Can’t afford a million-yuan uncut stone, but seeing Goddess S open a stone is a treat for the eyes!"
"Ah, look quickly, Goddess S’s technique in opening a stone is stunning, no wonder she’s the Empire’s top Treasure Appraiser, the stones she handles seem to have more spirit..."
Others have apprentices open the stones.
But these last two are personally opened by Gu Shiyin.
Though she often hears praises, they don’t move her much, she just enjoys, thoroughly, the moment of unveiling the most beautiful and dazzling jade stone with her own hands.
Only such beautiful jade is worthy of her personal touch.
Without a doubt, tonight, the Empire’s collection community will gain two immensely valuable giant pieces of jade, recorded for posterity...
As the outer shell was carefully polished away, the no. 6 uncut stone revealed a small piece of deep green jade, with excellent quality and vibrant color!
The crowd erupted in cheers.
Xi Rubao felt somewhat disheartened.
Alas, the curse failed.
She listlessly messaged Zuzi: "Sis, do you think if they really uncover some awesome jade, wouldn’t that be unfair, especially for someone like Chu Qiaoen, why should she hit the jackpot? Did she help an old lady cross the street, rob the rich to give to the poor, or care for small animals?"
Zuzi’s reply came swiftly.
As always, lazy and straightforward: "Hmm yeah. They don’t have the luck."
Xi Rubao beamed with a smile.
Sister Zuzi said they don’t have the luck, so they definitely don’t. Let these people show off as much as they want.
Just waiting for my sis to hit back!
At this moment, although squeezed outside, Xi Rubao wasn’t complaining or angry, she simply tiptoed to peer inside—
Treasure Appraiser S had already polished the entire outer shell of the basin-sized stone, revealing a basin-sized jade.
"Wow, I’ve never seen jade filled to this extent!"
"With such a huge piece of jade, just how many pendants and bracelets could be made!"
"Miss Chu is so young, she’s made a killing..."
The crowd exclaimed in awe.
However.
The next second.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Treasure Appraiser S’s fingers even trembled slightly.
To see that seemingly large and full jade actually—
