"Everyone knows that Huaxia is a country with a very long history. As one of the four ancient civilizations of the world, many treasures have been born in the history of Huaxia, and many of their crafts cannot even be replicated in this technologically advanced era." It was clear that Emma greatly admired Huaxia's culture, and the reverence for Huaxia was evident between the lines. However, to the Huaxia people at the scene, it sounded a bit mocking. As an ancient civilization, their cultural relics were not lying respectfully in the national museums but had instead been lost overseas and ended up at this auction, which was a disgrace! "I want to see what exactly they have found!" Zhang Menglong steadied himself, resolved that today, any Huaxia item up for auction would be taken back without leaving a single one behind, and not a single cent would be spent! Since when did someone have to pay to retrieve their own belongings that had been lost outside? "Those who have studied Huaxia civilization might have heard that during the period of the Six States' wars, there was a treasure known as the He's Bi Remnant Jade!" "He's Bi Remnant Jade?" Zhang Menglong and Wang Ling exchanged glances. Any Huaxian would not be unfamiliar with this name – the story of 'Returning the Jade Intact to Zhao' from their childhood textbooks was deeply etched in every Huaxia youth's heart. He's Bi Remnant Jade was a famous beautiful jade in the history of Huaxia, discovered by a man named Bian He. It was hidden inside a rock and offered twice to the reigning overlords of that time, but because the craftsmen were blind to its beauty, failing to recognize the precious stone hidden within the rock, each of the monarchs had one of his legs chopped off for the crime of deceiving the emperor. It was not until King Wen of Chu finally discovered the He's Bi Remnant Jade hidden inside the stone that it became the national treasure of Chu State. After Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the land, he carved the He's Bi Remnant Jade into an Imperial Jade Seal, with the words "Granted by Heaven, May it Last Forever" inscribed on it. Subsequently, through the generations, those coveting the Emperor's throne fought over it, causing the Imperial Jade Seal to change hands repeatedly throughout more than two thousand years on the Shenzhou Continent. It appeared and vanished intermittently before disappearing completely, becoming one of the most valuable lost national treasures of Huaxia. Over the years, countless archaeologists searched every nook and cranny, but not a trace of it could be found, a truly sigh-inducing fact. Emma just mentioned the He's Bi Remnant Jade. Could it be that the next item up for auction is the legendary Imperial Jade Seal that has been lost for so long? Again, it was the slowly rising platform. Emma grasped the velvet cloth covering the tray and yanked it off, revealing a strange, colorful radiance that immediately elicited gasps of amazement. "The thirteenth auction item is the Imperial Jade Seal carved from the He's Bi Remnant Jade!" "Whoosh!" The four people in the VIP room all stood up at once, their eyes wide as they gazed upon the square Jade Seal. Seen from the front, the Jade Seal appeared milky white, but from the side, it emitted a faint bluish-green tint. It was squarely shaped, and the top was carved with a five-clawed dragon, the very symbol of supreme honor! "Now, let's start the auction for this Imperial Jade Seal!" "The Imperial Jade Seal of Huaxia, it's so intriguing, I must buy it for my collection!" "This thing is pretty much a national treasure! If it were in Huaxia, it would definitely not appear at an auction!" "So beautiful! So beautiful! This is definitely the finest piece of art! A symbol of imperial power, I want to bring it back to our Royal Family!" "Ahem!" Zhang Menglong was the first to make a sound. "That Huaxian isn't going to spend money on it again, is he?" "Very likely, he buys all those useless things, how could he possibly pass up such a national treasure?" "There's no way again, who can compete with him!" "Hehe, but this time it's different. For other items, if the price is really too high, I guess he would give up, but for something like this, no matter how expensive, I'm afraid he won't let go. I've heard that Zhang Menglong is extremely patriotic!" "Oh? Then this is going to be interesting, he's sure to play the sucker!" "Just watch, there will definitely be people who maliciously drive up the price. Who made him so arrogant, to dismiss so many of us?" "Mr. Zhang, are you planning to make a bid?" Emma looked in Zhang Menglong's direction with a beaming smile, already fantasizing about a very beautiful figure. "No, this time, I don't plan to bid," Zhang Menglong replied. "You don't plan to bid? You're not planning to compete for this Imperial Jade Seal? It must have great significance to Huaxia, right?" "I only said I don't plan to bid, but I didn't say I won't take it back with me!" said Zhang Menglong, "The starting price is 0 euros, right?" "Yes, Mr. Zhang, there's no reserve price for anything, but if you don't bid, others will definitely compete fiercely!" Zhang Menglong raised his voice: "Then I'll bid 0 euros! Let's see, who dares to buy it today!" Enhance your reading experience by removing ads: Remove Ads Now
