Chapter 370: Chapter 370: The Mysterious Treasure Appraiser "S"!
Just as Chu Qiaoen was being tormented by the burning bubbles.
The auctioneer on stage struck the hammer three times, as no one offered more than six million, the item was sold to the other party!
Although she probably couldn’t afford more than six million, watching someone snatch the treasure right from under her nose was an indescribably maddening and infuriating feeling: "Aunt Shiyin, she’s messing with me! I swear I’ll never reconcile with that person!"
Gu Shiyin took out a pack of herbal tea powder she carried and brewed some for Chu Qiaoen: "This is very effective for reducing fire."
Chu Qiaoen was still disgruntled: "If that Moonstone were mine, just wearing it would cool my temper! ... Hiss, ow ow ow it hurts, I’ve got mouth ulcers!"
Gu Shiyin gently consoled her: "Don’t worry, I’ll go out for a bit. When it’s time for the stone gamble, bid on stone number 6, it will surely calm your heart and fulfill your wish."
She then looked up at Chen Long and Yin Hu, saying: "Brother Hu, Brother Long, are you going to gamble on stones? If you want to play, I suggest you..."
Chen Long: "Thanks, but I’m not into gambling."
Gu Shiyin awkwardly coughed: "It’s legal."
Yin Hu patted Chen Long on the shoulder: "You brat, is that how you talk to Miss Gu? So you’re all pure and virtuous not gambling, huh? I’ll gamble, I haven’t even spent my year-end bonus from last year, Miss Gu, give me some advice!"
Gu Shiyin softly said: "Remember number 16, it suits you."
Saying that, she got up and walked out, mysteriously not saying another word.
Yin Hu watched in admiration and awe as Gu Shiyin’s elegantly dressed figure disappeared out the door.
The more concise she was, the more it made people feel she was loaded with knowledge.
Both Yin Hu and Chu Qiaoen were utterly superstitious about her.
Only Chen Long sat like a bystander, legs crossed: "What’s with all the mystery and secrecy? Miss Xi is better, always speaks as she sees, does as she says!"

VIP Room No. 1.
Little Raven hugged the acquired Moonstone, overjoyed.
Emperor Song Manager Qiu Guosheng said that the piece of perennial jade from Miss Xi is sure to fetch over ten million, so the six million for this Moonstone can be accounted for later, after the auction concludes.
No wonder Ancestor said money wasn’t an issue.
Fu Xiqin was drooling, nearly salivating.
"Brother Jin, let me touch it."
"No way! You’re just an inanimate piano, you don’t need to wear jewelry."
"Brother Jin, but you’re a male bird, wearing a necklace is weird..."
"You’re the weird one! You’re just jealous of me!"
The two little ones were arguing when suddenly Xi Zuzi chuckled: "What’s so exciting about these stones to gamble with..."
The two little ones looked through the high-definition screen in the VIP room, down at the auction stage in the hall below, lined up with over fifty rough stones of various sizes.
They were all straight out of the quarry, some even with dirt and twigs, to prove they hadn’t been altered.
They looked ugly, but one of them might reveal a gem worth a fortune!
"I know, I know, Ancestor, this is professional stone gambling, with a professional treasure appraiser verifying on the side. If the raw stone you choose contains a gem worth more than the bet, you’ll make a fortune. Of course, there are stones that appear impressive, but turn out to be just a shell, filled with worthless material, which would be a huge loss. Many people stake everything on stone gambling, heading to East Sea to dig stones, some even jumping into the sea to commit suicide." Xiao Jin chattered away with all it had seen and heard.
Fu Xiqin: "Let me use my clairvoyance... Damn, I can only see reds, greens, and whites inside the stones, but I don’t know which of these things are valuable or not, geez."
Xiao Jin nudged it aside with its butt: "Don’t mind this idiot, Ancestor, this is fun, let’s give it a try?"
Xi Zuzi initially wasn’t that interested in playing, and was just about to wave it off.
Suddenly.
The treasure appraiser "S" on stage looked towards VIP Room No. 1, specifically speaking out —
