Someone couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing, causing the whole audience to erupt in laughter.

Such a serious occasion has been turned into something as lively as a vegetable market.

It wasn't until the host introduced the highly respected appraisal master of this auction, Mr. Cheng, that things changed.

Master Cheng is a titan in the industry, unmatched to this day, a god-like figure.

The old man wasn't in good health and didn't want to come, but his friend had divined his future the day before and insisted on persuading him to come, saying he had great fortune ahead.

Amidst the silent, gazing gazes of the crowd, the frail and unwell Old Cheng took his seat in the main seat on the stage.

The appraisal process began.

First, Xiaoxi pulled out her first online shopping treasure from her small bag: a Jintailan ring.

Old Cheng glanced at the ring, his face turned pale with anger, and he coughed violently.

He ignored Xiao Xi and glared directly at Ye Yichen.

"Ye Qi, you brat! I respect your grandfather's noble character, but how could you let your sister cause such a ruckus? Taking something worth five yuan from a street stall, are you trying to offend my eyes?"

A murmur of disapproval rippled through the audience.

"Grandpa, are you prejudiced against me? You don't even want to take a closer look at this ring?" Xiaoxi said, a little angry.

"Look at its cloisonné technique, it's now lost."

Old Cheng then glanced at Xiao Xi, reluctantly took the ring, and instantly froze.

After a long pause, his old face turned red.

"I'm too old for this, I apologize to the children!"

"This...this is the ring of Niohuru Ruyue, a former imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty! I almost missed out on this treasure."

"Little friend, where did you get this ring?"

"Xiaoxi bought it from a street stall outside the building."

Professor Cheng: What?!

Another bout of coughing.

He tried his best to calm himself down and quoted the value of the antique.

"Starting price: 500,000."

"Holy crap!" The audience erupted in excitement. It really was an antique!

"Sister Ye Qi is so lucky, she actually stumbled upon a treasure."

While they were still sighing with regret, the ring auction began in earnest.

Finally, a wealthy woman won the deal for 1.5 million.

Many people were so shocked that they didn't realize they had missed out on their precious gift.

Old Cheng just contradicted himself, so he's now on high alert.

"Little friend, what other treasures do you have?"

Xiao Xi looked at Old Cheng with utmost seriousness and earnestness.

"Grandpa, I have many treasures. But please make sure you don't get too excited, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the shock."

Old Cheng was displeased again: "Young man, don't be so sure of yourself. Put everything out here! Let's see how much of your cheap goods you still have."

Xiao Xi gave Du Xin a look, and Du Xin immediately picked up the bag he had been carrying from the ground and simply, directly, and roughly dumped all the treasures inside in front of Old Cheng.

Old Cheng's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. There seemed to be so many miscellaneous antiques, but upon closer inspection, every single one of them was a treasure.

When he saw a book mixed in with the antiques, his trembling hands picked it up and read it: "The Art of Dividing Gold".

He was about to faint when he kicked his legs.

Xiaoxi had expected this to happen, and grabbed his hand.

Old Cheng's wrist was grabbed by Xiao Xi and pressure was applied to acupoints. He tried to faint, but all his strength was drained away.
